Election or Delegates.

At . meeting Of the Republican
County Committee of Lawrence Co,
held last Saturday, the subject Of the
proper method Of electing the Con.

mode. II ratified by Mercer County.
csme up for consideration. The Law
renee Committee took the same view
ofths subject as that generally taken
in this County. They decided that
in each sub district, as laid out by
the County Committee, there should
be two delegates elected. one to act
in the district Congressional delegate
Convention and one to act in the dis
trict National delegate Convention
In other words. that there should be
one separate delegate for each of those
msttere. aud that they should be kept
separate and distinct from the other.
There ere good reasons why the same
delegate should not be required to
serve in both said district Conven-
tions. There would be temptation
20 trading IL one delegate served 10
both. that will mot be If separate dele
gatss are chosen for each Convention.
Each sub district In this and the other
counties Of the district, II the new
mode ID approved by Mercer County,
will therefore (on April ll4. in this
county, select two delegates, one as q
Congressi onal and one as National
delegate. and instruct them for the
candidates Of their choice for those
positions.

Means What He Says.

The letter Of Hon. James G. Blaine
from Florence, Italy, to Mr.. Jones,
the Chairman OF the Republican Ma
tiona: Committee, has given rise to
many different opinions, az 70 It's real
meaning. But 10 Mr.. Jones himself
and other Gloss friends Of Mr.. Blaine
the lsttsr has bat one meaning.
While surprise TO most ell yet it
was known that Mr.. Blaine did not
seek, and would not seek, the coming
nomination for the Presidency. The
day had gone by with him to do that.
All bis ambition to be President bad
passed away. He had gone through
three different contests for the nomin.
stion and one for the election after a
nomination. The turmoil. trouble
and anxistiss Of these struggles were
. great strain upon him. But that
be again would have been nominated
no one could doubt who read tue signs
OF the times. Aud while bis letter in
our opinion is sincere and should be
regarded as one declining the coming
nominstion, yet stranger things have
happened than IL he should yet be
nominated by acclaim. He says his
name viii not be presented TO the
Convention, and this for reasons en-
tirely personal 10 himself. This wish
will doubtless be respected aod no
formal presenting Of bis name will be
made. But IL 10 the meantime the
people aud the party continue to de-
maud 1t be would as patrio: bow to
their will. But other candidates are
now encouraged and will press for
wsrd with greater effort for the high
honor. and sIl that every Republican
Aepss Tor and earnestly desires is
that good end the bsst man may be
Soupd, 70 hsad the. ticket that will

The Fence Law Of 100.


From Franklin Citizen Press of Feb 81
The Philadelphia Record compli-
ments Judge Tuylor's decision dcclar-
ing the fence law unconstitutional. and
the leading attorneys express no
doubts as to the decision.
At the time Of the repeal quite a
number of acts of Assembly We're in
existence in which the local option"
feature. pronounced unconstitutional
by Judge Taylor. were Incorporated,
notably the Wallace act for the gov
ernment of cities aud the question OF
the constituiionality of that feature
had not been passed upon by the Su-
preme Court. The pressure upon
the Legislature to secure the repeal OF
the fence law Of 100 was especially
strong in Northwestern Pennsyl-
vania, but the opposite TO its repeal
was formidable. Ali efforts TO effect
repeal omitting the local option
feature, failed and the friends of the
measure finally adopted the local op
ton clause and the bill passed both
branches of the legislature and heclme
n law in 1885. AT the session OF
1887, the Supreme Conrt ia the mean.
time having declared the locAI option
feature OF the Wallace ac; unconstitu.
tionai. determined effort was made
to entirely repeal tho Law of 1900 to-
eether With the act Of 1885, waich
would have left the matter free OF
doubt But in tho House Of Repre-
sentatives only 81 votes could be OBJ
taincd for that purpose aud the bill
failed. Public sentiment, however,
has so plainly manifested itself in
iavor o! repeal of the law of l7OO-in
every county where n vote was takcu
uuder the act of 1885 majority fa-
voripg repeal--that it is believed
there will be no trouble In accom-
plishing that end at the next session
