Where The Great.

1t was urged the other day in New Castle
against the popular vste system, that the
expense to candidates, in making canvass
in the four counties would be simply euor-
NOUS How sof And in what wayf They
would have to announce their candidacy in
the party papers oft the distriJt-but would
not the nominee receive ample compensa-
tion in return at their hands, when wicked
and vicious fight was waged against himf
Can 1t be called expense, for candidate
to pass through the several countics, and
make himself acquainted with the people
he is ambitious to represent in the Congress
of the United Statesi Compare the cost OF
announcing in the newspapers Of the several
counties, with the cost Of maintaining, say
so hungry delegates, at expensive heteis,
day after day, week after week, with inter
missions and postponements, running all
through the summer, aud see where you
will come QUIT Under the delegate system
the contest begun, there is no telling when.
where, or how it will end. Undsr the
popular vote system, whenever the pri.na-
rics are closed, and the votes counted ai
the county seat, the Congressional nomin-
alton IL made, aud the only conference

Here's your Mule.

The Mercer Dispatch trots it out, OF
course. It is just such sritter as was 10
be, or is to be expected, in view OF its sur
roundings Here it is:
The committee appointed BY the several
counties composing this congressional ais
trict, to perfect better plan OF making
congressional nominations than the present,
met on Monday at the Fountain Honse,
New Castle. All the delegates were present
except two from Butler. Several plans
were proposed and discussed, no definite
action being taken on any. but the prevail
ing opinion seemed to be adverse to the
Crawford county plan. After two sessions
of several hours each the committee ad-
iourned to meet ct the same place on Jan
9th. 1892. We are pleased to know there
isno danger of the adoption of the Craw-
ford county system, as we are still OF the
opinion that it is the most vicious and de-
moralizing plan that could be adopted Dy
any party.
And because the Dispatch Is OF the
opinion that the Crawford County System
ia bad it is to be doomed in this county and
district Is that the size Of i'll Now tRs
voting cattle of the party know what ia IN
tenn that is now in vogue for making Cen
gressional nominations. This is what ad-
journment means; it is to clinch the chains
with as little Violence ~ possible. A mo-
tion to adopt the popular plan was voted
down, and that indicates what will be the
result Of the final vote in the conference
It is not in the deal to have the popular
vote system this year. Quay can't afford
to have it that way. So cattle take your
medicine, and 60 to your stslls-voting
stalls.
In spite Of the bald assertion Of the
Dispatch, repeated with damning iteration
that the popular Vote System is reprehen-
sible, five out Of every six Republican vot.
ers in Crawford county, where the system
originated, have testified otherwise, and
it has had o through trial in that county. (.
No, the trouble is, that with the people
of the party to the front, the Bosses must
take back scat, and that explains the
desperate struggle for life on the part of
the latter. But the mills Of the gods grind
slow-but they grind!-Greenvillc Neos
THE occupancy of part Of Cashmere in
Central Asia, and tine fight between the
native troops, led on one side by Russian
and on the other by British officers, and
the TACT that some British officers ware
killed, has given rise to war talk in
London. Cashmere is not British pos
session, but its ruler favors the English,
and the Russions are encroaching npon his
territory in order 20 secure foothold on
the borders OF India.
