From 1860 to 1868 the Republican party vote
showed no change from the ebb and flow of pro-
found peace between 1877 and 1880 or 1850 and
1880. 1t fell off the same percentage in off
years and increased the same percentage in
Presidential years in each decade. Its voters
were happy, pursuing the vocatons of peace
and running no extra risk of life.
But the Democratic vote from 1850 to 1876
shows that there had been great war At the
elections in 1858 every Republican answers ia
his name at tho polls, but 100000 Democratic
voters are missing. and must either be dead OF
in the field fighting That all arc not dead we
know, for 10000 returned again in 1856.
Study this table. The loss at the mid-Presi
Dental elections is well known and matter OF
unvarying percentage The Republicans lost
in 1866 as usual. The Republican voters who
mustered cut in 1865 were not enough to make
good the places of the stay at-homes
But there was no Democratic loss in the of
year election of 1865. The Democratic voters
who had been mustered out of the Union
armies in 1865 were voting again, and their tota,
vote was greater than at the preceding Presi

There was never any good and lawful
reason for denial of naturalization to an
alien Mormon on the sole ground that he
was a member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. 1t made no
difference what the belief of the individual
was in spiritual matters, so long as he could
establish the fact in the regular way, that
he had been good and iaw-abiding man.

DO long as he was willing to take the usual
oath Of allegiance and promise that ne
would obey the laws of the land and give
his devotion and fealty to the republic, he

commonwealth are treated. Judge AMBER

WHO FOUGHT THE CIVIL WARP

There must have been no end of Democrats
in the United States between 1861 and 1865.

Democrats in the Federal army outnumbered
the Republicans ten to one Assuming that an
apostle cannot by amy means make mistake,

what he said, he evidently is, unlike the

WILSON, a writer of the strictest accuracy,

national history:
! Twenty-Five states remained loyal to the
Union. In 1860 the votes of these states were

Dental election-something without precedent

It clear from these facts, taken from
truly loyal Republican almanacs and
printed in Belford's Magazine that it was less
the Republican than the Democratic party
which saved the Union.
These statistics are much more complete
than those which the Tribuse man protests
are the only ones he ever saw on the sub
ject-a few concerning a single Con-
gressionai district in Indiana. If he will
give these statistics little attention. his
readers, as well as himself, will understand
that the G. o. p. did not even bear the brunt
of the civil war, concerning which it has
been the habit OF members of that party to
claim the whole and sole honor.

NEARLY SEVENTEEN thousand bills were
introduced during the session OF Congress
just closed, and only few hundred were
passed, most Of them being private pen
sion bills. An expensive bureau is main
tanned for the purpose of passing on the
validity of pension claims, but the dema
gogues in Congress cannot trust the
bureau, and spends much of its time con-
sidering claims which have been rejected
by the officials appointed for no other pur-
pose than to inquire into the merits of the

JOHN NJ. RUSSELL.

After long and lingering illness. John
NJ. Russell. one of tho most promising
young lawyers of this place, died at his
home on West Pearl St., at an early hour
on Friday morning. He had been suffer
ing for sbout ten months from comph-
cation of throat and lung troubles, and was
not apparently any worse just before his
death. The funeral services were held at
the house, and were conducted by the Rev.
W. E. Oller, in the presence OF large
gathering. The interment was at Union
Vile, where the services were conducted
by the Rev. Williams. The funeral was
attended by the Knights of Pythias and
the ]. S. Campbell Hose Co., as he was a
member of both. and the pail bearers We're
selected from the fremen.
John NJ Russell was born in Centre Tp.,
Butler Co., in October OF 1865, and was the
son of Robert Russell, decd. At the early
age of thirteen, he joined the Muddycrsek
Presbyterian Church, under the pastorage
of Rev. Williams. He was educated at
Witherspoon, and read medicine with DR.
Holman, and was about to take the lee
lures when circumstances prevented. He
read law with his uncle, Hon. Charles Me
Candless. and was admitted TO the bar I'm
1886. He was married in the latter part ID
the same year to Mary A. McCandless.
daughter of Coulter MeCandless, of Centre
Twp.
He was esteemed for his uprightness, his
Kindness of heart and the talents which
promised to place him among the most
successful attorneys Of Butler.
At the meeting of the Bar, held Satur.
day afternoon, the following resolutions
were adopted:
WHEREAS, God in His inscrutable wis

blast McDowell's reputation without
trial. He was in favor of investigating the
matter to the bottom and in good faith,
and bowing to the decision of the Commit
tee. He said the Co. Com could not re-
pudiate the nomination, that was for the
conference that made it, and Maj. Nc
Dowell wanted an opportunity to clear his
skirts
A motion to vote on the resolutions sep
arately carried, and then the convention
called for Col. Sullivan. who was present
to make some remarks.
Mr.. Sullivan said he had no desire to
speak and expected to be a spectator, but
would say few words. The committee
were summoned together under extra
ordinary and unusual circumstances. The
people had learned with surprise and in
dignation of this bribery. They had read
the sworn statement of one of the delegates
and the admissions of the others. The
Mercer Co. gentlemen overlooked the I'M
portant fact that the purity of the ballot
box and our primaries must be kept above
suspicion, if we expect the support and
and confidence of the people. Our highest
loyalty to our party is honest nomination.
and the irreproachable character OF our
candidates. Candidates nominated by
bribery cannot be supported. We cannot
enter the campaign confronted with the
charge of fraud. He was sorry for Major
Mcdowell, but the committee should hesi-
tate long before putting its stamp of ap-
proyal on admitted corruption.
James NJ. Galbreath, Esq, was then call
ed upon. He agreed with Col. Sullivan IN
his remarks, voted in the Convention to
make Major McDowell's nomination unan-
imous. but the nomination was made by
the use Of money and could not be ap-
proved. He did not accuse Mr.. Mcdowell
of bribery, and regretted the wrong
done him, but the facts were ad-
mitted and could not be questioned.
Fraud vitiates everything it touches, and
it will not do to adopt it in politics. The
nomination was by fraud and no Republi-
can can afford to place on that nomination
tie stamp of his approval
Both gentlemen made good speeches
and were heartily congratulated.
The question was then called, the reso-
lutions were read separately, and each one
was adopted without dissenting voice,
and also as whole, and the convention
adjourned.

The News Confirmed.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The reported
battle between San Salvador and Guate-
malan forces is confirmed by private dis
patches received here. The Guatemalans
were not expecting to receive much resist
ance on the part of the San Salvadorans,
and were taken completely by surprise at
the resistance offered, and retreated pre-
cipitately beyond the borders to their own
territory. No estimates of the loss Of life
on either side can be formed, but from all
accounts only 30 or 40 were killed o,
wounded.
1t is said that in view of this defeat, g.

The Original Package Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 22.-Imme-
diately after the reading of the journal the
voting began on the Original Package bill.
The first vote was on the Adams substitute
defining original packages 1t was lost
80 to lis.
The House then proceeded to vote on the
House substitute for the Senate bill. The
following is the House measure:
"That whenever any article of commerce
is imported into any State from any other
State, Territory or foreign Nation, and
there held or offered for sale, the same
shall then be subject to the laws of such
State; provided, that no discrimination
shall be made by any State in favor of its
citizens against those Of other States or
Territories in respect to the sale OF any
article of commerce, nor in favor of its own
products, against those of like character
produced in other States or Territories.
Nor shall the transportation of commerce
through any State be obstructed except by
the necessary enforcement of the health
laws Of such State"
As the voting progressed it was evident
that the result was very doubtful and great
interest was manifested. AT the end of the
first one the affirmative had majority of
one, and at the end of the second call that
majority was neither increased. or..diminish-
ed Then came changes Of votes. Fully
two dozen changes were made, and in. the
alterations the affirmative came out
triumphant, the vote being announced as

of Ohio, who had changed his vote for the
purpose, moved reconsideration. Mr..
