The Next Governors Visit tc
Butler.

The next Governor OF PennsylVahla was
in Butler this week,-there is no doubt oil
that in the ordinary course OF events.
Hon. G. W. Delsmater, the Republican
candidate for the office, was billed to be
here on Saturday last, at p. m, but a
mishsp on the railroad caused delay, and
his car did not arrive within the limits of
the town until after 5 o'clock, and he then
had to hurry through to meet his engage
ment at Kittanning for that evening.
However, some Butler men met him at
the depot and rode down to FreepoTt with
him. and he promised them to come back
to Butler, Tuesday evening, even though
that would necessitate his breaking en-
gagements for town or two in the South
western part of the State, and he kept bis
promise.
| He arrived here Tuesday evening, and
was met at the West Penn depot BY large
number of people with carriages, horses
torches and fireworks, and was conducted
to the Opera House in good style.
| The crowd filled the House to overflow
| ing. Chairman Huselton called the meet
ing to order; Newton Black, Esq, was
| elected president, and quite number OF
prominent Republicans of the town named
as vice-piesidents.
| Then Mr.. Black in neat little speech
| Introduced the guest of the evening, Hon
| G. ". Delamater, who spoke for over an
hour. He said he had passed five years OF
his lie in Butler Co.; had predicted its
future wealth and prosperity, and had met
| many good men in this county. He thank
| ed the people for his enthusiastic welcome
as the representative of the Republican
party Of Pennsylvania; said that the wealth
and prosperity Of The State was due to
| Republican wise government; that our
| opponents we've brushing aside National
| questions in this campaign, and resortng
| to personal attacks, but the Republicans
would make on aggressive campaign; we
would insist that National questions are
| pertinent now and world challenge all
questions; Pa;,ison is claiming great deal,
and Euery's effort, which had been waited
for by the Democrats, was nothing but an
x Y z. affair and a pop-gun explosion;
Pattison was following his example in 60
Jug around TO see tie people and didn't
begin Ill after the Emery explosion, while
he bad been at it for eight weeks; he had
entered the lists as a candidate and is
af.ad of no man in Penn'a; his distinguish
ed opponent speaks of "Home rule, self
| government aud clean politics" the Re
publican pai;y was founded on the first
| two, which mean the same thing, and as
| for clean politics he referred the people to
| the Democratic administrations of New
York City and Cincinnati; Chauncey Black
said he Delamater) was not nominated
out appointed" while no man had fought
| so long and so batG for nomination as be
! hati, and be does not assume to be any
bettef than ais party as Pattison does; the
Republican party stands on its record and
| living issues; besides the State ticket we
have legislature to elect this Fall, which
| III tu.n elects U. s. Senator, and You can
not divorce State and National questions;
| the ta.if affects us all practically (and Mr.

| Senator he introduced and had passed the
| Tax Commission resolution, and the Com
mission has Two farmers on it, and it has
evolved bill which will equalize taxation
| and which he will be pleased to sign as
Governor, which he is sure TO be; Emery's
charges were the most dastdrdly and
malicious lies ever perpetrated upon the
| public (this remark was called out by
voice in the back part of the room) aud
Mr.. Lewis Emery knew it from the begin
| ming; Pattison was economical, he vetoed
the soldiers burial bill and hospital bill,
and like Grover Cleveland was economical
only in small things; he would act with
| discretion when he became Governor but
would give the soldier the benefit of the
douot; the Republican party of the State is
| united; Lancaster Co. viii give the State
ticket 10, 600 majority. The welcome given
him in Batter showed respect for him as q
man as well as Republican and he thank
| ed Us for it.
Geo. s. Graham, Esq, District Attorney
Philadelphia Co., was the next speaker.
George is handsome, good -natured fellow,
and started off by telling some funny
stories, and getting off a joke on our
| streets. He cannot answer the Democratic
logic of this campaign as it is too twisted;
he spoke of Democratic economy and refer
ed to WaI-Horse Samuel Miller's case;
Phila will give her usual majority; he
ridiculed Emery's charges; spoke of the
| significance of Reeds reelection, and OF
the significance of the approaching cleo
| ton.
Mr.. ]. Levering Jones was then intro
duced as a member of the famous Com
| mittee of One Hundred of Phil'a and after
| saying that the Democratic party had no
| bis,oiy since 1861 and referring to the mis-
representations in this campaign made
| general speech on constitutional govern
ment. He was the last speaker ard as
The time was now nearly IL O'Clock the
meeting adjourned.
Ex- Governor Robert Il. Pattison and the
rest of the Democratic State ticket arrived
