National Delegate.

By the proceedings of our County
Committee last week, it will be seen
that the Republicans of this county
will vote direct for a delegate to the
National Convention at the primary
ordered for April 5. This was thought
a better way than the election of Con-
ferees. The Convention meeting on
April I. will appoint the said Con-
fcrees to meet with the counties Of
Crawford and Mercer, at which meet
ing will be determined the two dele
gate to which this Congressional dis
trict is entitled. This conferee meet
ing, as the Crawford Journal suggests,
can be held on April 10 or IL, /, in time
to certify the result to the successful
candidates and thus save any interfer.
ence in the matter at the State Con.
vention. Mercer, we presume, will ar.
range to join in this matter. The
State Convention, if all the districts in
State act similar to this one, will thus
have the simple duty of naming only
the six National delegates at large tc
which this State is entitled this year in
the National Convention Four OF saiG
six are to represent the two United
States Senators in Congress and the
other two will represent the Congress

THE proceedings of the Allegheny
County Republican Committee, that
met in Pittsburgh last Saturday, appear
to seek TO combine both branches OF the
National rule for election of delegates
TO the National Convention. First,
the people are given the right to send
delegates to County Convention, in
each Congressional district of that
county, 22nd aud 23rd districts, which
is all right But instead of allowing
the township, borough and ward dele
gates, thus elected, to name the two
delegates to the National Convention
according to first branch of the National
rule providing for district representa-
tion, they refer that right to the State
delegates nsmed by each of said dis
trict conventions, thus recognizing the
second branch of the National rule
WHY not have allowed the people,
through their direct delegates in each
district convention, to have named the
National delegates, as we'll as the State
ones? However, if the people under
stand the matter and make sure o
whom their delegates choose as theil
State delegates, these State delegates
cannot well ignore the popular will il
the selection of the National delegates
| to the Chicago Conventional to nominate
the Presidential candidate.

He appointed his conferees who met
those of Armstrong in conferen e; but
instead of yielding to the right of Arm
strong county at the first meeting he
prolonged the conference to meeting a.
ter meeting and from time to time and
finally managed to get the consent OF
the Armstrong candidate to submit the
nomination to the State Central Com
n,iHee which Senator Don Cameron
then controlled. The result of this was
the nomination Of Mr.. Greer by the
State CommiHee, thus taking from
Armstrong county her right in 1880.
And now, under this brief statement
of facts, which county is entitled to the
candidate now in 1884? We did not
take the right of Armstrong away from
her four years ago. This county had
nothing to do with that wrong to her.
The state Committee did it, Armstrong
county consenting to its interference in
the matter. Why then is our county
now TO be deprived of her right to the
present candidate? 1t is our turn and
time now, according to all custom and
rule. This thing was done by others,
with Armstrong; then candidate con-
| senting. 1t was no benefit to this
county but mere q benefit to single
individual of it, Mr. Greer, who
through an outside influence secured a
seat in the State Senate for another
four years that rightfulIy belonged to
another person. And the question now
is, should the Republican party of this
county be made to suffer for the greedy
act of this one individual Z? What has
our county to show for this theft OF an
other counties right-nothing. 1t gave
an Office and put money into the pocket
| of John NJ. Greer and that was all.
Our late County COMMITTEE, therefore
| could not have been aware of the facts
| in this case, else it never would have
| conceded to Armstrong q candidate
| that the usages Of the party give to our
county this year. At whose instance
| this matter came before the Committee
we do not know, but clearly the Com
mittee had no right to pass or consider
anything on the subject. This county
has the right to the next candidate,
| and il one il presented we do not see
how our right is to be denied. | write
this believing our Committee at its late
meeting were taken unswares and act
ed as it did without knowing the facts,
and with desire to acquaint our peo-
ple with the real facts. A candidate
should be presented by our county for
the Senate and the case further discuss
ed, and although it would look hard on
Armstrong to demand our rights now,
according to the usage, yet it was no
fault of the Republican party of this
county that she gave away or yielded her
rights four years ago, and hence there
is no injustice in demanding Butler
county's right now, Yours &c.
A REPUBLICAN.

State Senate Question.

FAIRvIEw, TWP, March I, 1884.
EDS. CITIZEN We have not yet
seen the proceedings of the County
Committee meeting of the 4th inst, but
understand that resolution was pass
ed in it conceding 20 Armstrong coun-
ty the next nomination for the State
Senator to which this district, Arm
strong and Butler counties, is entitled
this year If this be true, we think,
the Committee did wrong, and exceed
ed any power it had in the matter.
And. in order that the matter may be
understood, let me make plain state
ment of of facts in the case, by which
it will be seen that our county is, ac-
cording to all former usages entitled to
the present nomination for the State
Senate.
The term of a State Senator is four
years. Armstrong county had the FIRST
nomination, Col Jackson. Then, in
1876, it was the turn and time of But
ler county to receive the candidate.
This was conceded by Armstrong Co
and owing to the trouble then existing
and arising out of the vote cast for Col.
Jordan, who had the highest vote in
this county as candidate for the office
at the primaries, the case went to a
conference between the two counties.
John NJ Greer, ESQ.,, was one of the
conferees in this conference from this
county, appointed by Thos. Robinson,
who claimed he had carried the county
and not Jordan. After several meet
ings of the conferees of the two coun-
ties the contest was ended by Greer
himself, one of the conferees. obtaining
the nomination. Although this was
known to be irregular and very extra
ordinary proceeding, yet the election
was approaching and the best that
could be done was to submit and ac-
cept Greer His name was consequent
ly put up in both Republican papers
and his election advised and he was OF
course elected. He served the four
years from 1876 to 1880. Then the
nomination was in turn conceded TO
Armstrong. But Mr. Greer was in 1880
candidate for nomination in this
Co., as was Hon. A. L. Campbell, both
asking for 1t as q mere compliment, as
it was we'll understood at the time 10
be but compliment, oil conceding the
right of Armstrong county to that dis.
trict nomination. Mr. Greer managed
to baye the most votea at our primary.

Obey the Law.

When the matter of granting licens-
es to keep public houses was before
the Court last week, a strict observance
of the law was required by the Court
No law is more frequently violated
than the license law. Certain forms
are required in making the applications
and certain requisites required on the
part of the applicant IT these fail In
any particular it is the duty of the
Cont to refuse the license.
Then, often, after license has been
granted, it's terms are not complied with
and if o renewal is petitioned for and it
is made appear to the Court that the
house licensed has not been conducted
according to the law the Court, in duty
bound, is compelled to refuse re-
newal. The interests of society as
well as the law require this. And both
REQUIRE the Court to see to it that our
license laws are not vlolateu. w niio
those laws are upon the statute books
let them be strictly observed. And i
strictly observed there would be far
less drunkenness, and far less disorders
in community than there are. The
action of the Court is very generally ap-
proyed in this matter. Wherever 1t
was made to appear that the laws had
not been adhered to, in respect to the
house or the application to keep one,
or the character of the applicant was
not such as the law says it must be, in
all such cases it is the plain and sworn
duty of the Court to refuse license.

The Committee and the Press.

The action of the Republican Co.
Committee last week relative to the
two Republican papers of this place,
will be generally approved by the Re-
publicans of the county. From the
stand point the Committee looked at
this matter its action is not strange.
And from the stald point we look at 1t
the censure is not strange to us. We
take our full share, in all due respect to
the Committee, knowing as we do the
object sought to be obtained, harmony
in the party. We can best illustrate
our feelings and opinion in the matter
by telling of certain man who once
lived in. this place, worthy citizen,
long deceased. He had habit that
was peculiar. When be wanted to Gen.
sure or complain Of q fellow-townsman
he never went directly at him, or "for
him" as the present saying is, but on
the contrary, If be saw him in company
with another man with whom he was
on good terms, or had no complaint
against, he would approach the two and
commence reproving the one with
whom he was on good terms, and thus
hit the other fellow, who be didn't like,
over the shoulders of the one be did
like. This was always very adroitly
and successfully done and the man in
tended soon took the hint" In this
manner, we think, the Committee last
week intended its action to be under
stood, and so we are content, if the
other fellow is

though self made he worked his way
to stations of influence and distinction.
He served the Pittsburgh district in

ed in 1853. He was very enterpris-

Starting a Boom"

1t is becoming very fashionable to
"boom" candidates For this purpose
the telegraph is the instrument most
generally used. Accounts of what
never happened in Committees or else
where at home are telegraphed to the
city dailies, giving glowing accounts
of this or that mans strength and how
the people are crying for him to be a
candidate, and how be is a candidate,
and how his campaign is blooming"
and at the same time there is truly
nothing of it, and no such things ever
happened.
We are led to say this from the ac-
counts sent from this place to the Pitts
burgh Com Gazette and other papers,
concerning our County Committee
meeting last week. Nothing of the
kind stated in some of the dispatches
sent took place and this effort is only
damaging to the candidate thus sought
to be benefited People are too in
telligent these days to be thus hum
bugged.
