nTHE Republicans of the Mercer, Beaver

"THE Republicans of the Mercer, Beaver
etc, Congressional District are trying to
find better method Of making nomina-
tions, and while great majority ofpeople
are undoubtedly in favor Of the Crawford
County System, the fellows who have
been for years following the BUSINESS OF
buying and selling conferees are dead
against it. Tho fact that three of them
were sent to jail for bribery but short
time ago does not seem to discourage the
gang. The matter has been 80 thoroughly
tested and is one 90 plain to any man Of
ordinary sense that we are justified ID
questioning the honesty of any man who
advocates the adoption of the conference
system for making Congressional nomina-
tions. The Mercer county politicians
know it is corrupt system and has moth
ing to recommend it except its corruptness.
The Crawford County System is as well
guarded against fraud as is the general
election, and an objection against one is
an objection against the other as well."-

Mr.. Dalze.l's Candidacy.

Representative DalzelPs frank ann ounce
mont sets him fairly before the State as
candidate for United States Senator agains'
Senator Quay. Other candidates from otnei
marta of the State will doubtless appear
before a great while, but the interest VIII
crystalli.e chiefly about these two. There
have been significant indications from tne
eastern part of the State that the aggres-
sive, uncompromising anti-Quay people IN
that section will unite upon Mr.. Daizeli
He seems, indeed, to recognize this himself
in his announcement, saying, 'There is un-
doubtedly widespread sentiment IN Penn
sylvsnis against the reelection Of Mr.. quay
In this sentiment, wholly apart from any
consideration to myself, I sincerely con-
cur
A challenge Of this sort at the very outset
predicts hard and bitter struggle. Sena-
tor Qnsy will find against him the most
brilliant man whom Pennsylvania has sent
into either branch Of Congress in many a
year, one who in two terms of servi ce mas
won standing among the foremost leaders
of the House; a young man, with Just
record enough to emphasize his fitness ior
the senatorship.
In his frst term in the House, Mr.. Dali
zalls speech upon the intricate question OF
the relation of the Government TO the Pa
cific Railroad won the applause Of both
sides of the House aud br ought him TO tne
attention of the country. In the defense Of
G commander Reiter, le st year, he showed
broad comprehension Of the principles oi
international law, and mot withstanding the
Administrsti on, he overthrow its champi-
ons in de bate 30 completely that he forced
the reinst atement Of Commander Reiter a
few weeks later. As member OF the
Elections Committee in the last Congress,
ne was put forward by common desire as the
spokesman of the majority in the most i'm
portant cases, and his speech in the Breck-
enridge case, especially, was a marvel OF
logic and dramatic eloquence.
Young, eloquent, and vigorous; repre-
sentative of aggressive and progressive
young Republicanism; bred where the name
and smoke of the furnaces day and night
point out the glorious pathway OF the
party in the past-who can challenge his
fitness for the Office to which he aspiresi
1t is 90 years since Allegheny county has
had United States Senator taken from
within her borders, although her majorities
arc yearly inspiration and her industrial
prosperity daily object lesson to the Re
publicans of tho whole country. John
Dalzell has shown himself an able earnest
and brilliant representative of both.
Without relinquishing in any degree the
special claims Of this community upon his
services, we would willingly see his abii-
iries exercised in . wider field, and we
cordially commend him to the people of
the State.-Pittsburg Times.

BuIIies and Bulldozers.

In fact our whole nomination system.
both State and National, stands upon the
delegate idea, and the President wee
President, and the United States Senators
are elected by the delegate system. A re-
public is government by representatives
selected BIZ the people. A democracy Is a
government by the people direct. ours is
republic.-Mercer Dispatch.
"People are not easily fooled by rant.
A temperate article containing reasons
and valid argument for or against a ques-
ton will be read and fairly considered by
the people, while they will laugh in deris-
ion at the mouthings OF epithets as either
the vaporings of would-be, bully or the
hallucinations of diseased imagination"
In the Original editorial in the Dispatch
the last paragraph precedes, but we put II
after, where it properly belongs; for the
arguments" offered by the Dispatch have
all so far been the "vaporings" of bull or
bully or the "hallucinatiGns Of diseased
mindr-the kicks of a vacuum where
the brain ought to be.
Doesn't the italic editor know that two
out Of every three voters in the country
want to vote directly for President aud
Senator'S aud that they are hot permitted
to do so by the Bosses, just as Is the case
in this county and district in regard to local
nominationsi This country is republic,
is it7 1t ought to be republic, but it is
rather despotism of demagogues. 1t the
time the Constitution was framed and
adopted, selfgovernment was an exper-
iment. and hence were the safe guards OF
the Electoral College and the peculiar cleo
ton of Senators thrown around the organic
chart; but the experimental period has
long since past and selfgovernment has
shown its capabilities in every instance
where the bulldozers have not predomin-
atcd 1t is to relegate those bulldozers
and brainless buffers to the rear that the
Popular Vote System is insisted upon, and
Will be SO insisted upon until it becomes
the rule and not the exception in the coun-
try Put this in your pipe and smoke it.,

WASHINGTON.

On Thursday last President Harrison
surprised almost everybody by nominating
Stephen B. Elkins OF West Virginia to be
Secretary Of War, Tice Secretary Proctor,
resigned. Elkins Is known TO be q warm
friend of Blame, and the Washington Post
Of next day said that Mr.. EIkins was offer
cd the Office Of Secretary of War three
times before he accepted. He declined si
first because he held something should be
given to General Gof In recognition OF
his efforts in behalf Of the Republican
party in West Virginia. When he was in
formed General Golf would bc appointed q
Circuit Judge Mr.. Elkins laid the matter
before Secret ary Blaine.
"What effect" asked Mr.. Elkins of Sec-
rotary Blaine in the course Of the talk
would my appointment have upon your
presidential chance next year 7"
absolutely none," was Mr. Blaine's re
ply. "As feel at present I shall not be
q candidate for the nomination. II, how
ever, there should como to me from the
Republican party an overwhelming ex-
prsssion demanding that except the nom
ina'ion, I may feel constrained to put aside
my personal feelings and accept the nomi-
nation. In that case Mr.. Harrison will be
for me, and there will be no improperly
in your being my friend also. On the othel
hand, sho1ld Mr.. Harrison be the nominee
will not be in the race and therefore, you
will be his friend. cannot see how your
acceptance or declinstion will change the
condition Of things in the slightest degree,
and would advise you to accept the sp-
pointment." After this talk Mr. Eikins
decided TO accept the Presidents offer.

grippe, and has not yet announced hi
