The Advertisements in the TIMES Draws
Trade From Far and Near.
If there is merchant in the city
who does not believe the statement
that the TINES and the live business
men of this city who advertise in
its columns are doing good work
to make Butler the most important
trading point in the county, and that
the advertisements are having tell
ing effect in the most remote cor
ners of the county, let him read
the statement Of W. F. Stephens,
one of the substantial farmers of
Vinton neighborhood, who was in
the city Monday trading for himself
and several other families who had
sent orders by him. Said Mr..
Stephens, "One ef my neigh
bors heard l was going to Butler
to day, and sent by me case of
eggs, and also long list of articles
which she wished me to purchase
for her" The reporter suggested
that some of the Butler merchants
had reduced prices lately and were
reaching out for trade. "Yes," said
Mr. Stephens, ''and they are getting
it, for I know that everybody in nv
neighborhood, who formerly traded
at other places are now coming to
Butler to do their shopping" Mr..
Stephens called and renewed for the
TINES, and said that his neishbors
called to read the paper each week,
and that he would not keep house
without it
To draw trade to this city from
all over the county, the merchants
have only to make the prices right,
bring in their advertisements and
the booming TINES will do the rest.

NEW YORK, Sept. 29.-The Repub-

for the coming municipal elections was
held last night in Carnegie hail.
The doors were opened at 7:15 o'clock,
and the gallery was quickly packed to
It's utmost capacity. The dress circle
filed up next. the holders of tickets for
the parterre boxes coming last.
There was a great deal of talk among
the delegates as to whether or not
Lows name would be brought before
the convention, but every one seemed
to be at sea on this point, and the lead
ers of the Low faction of the Kings
county delegation did not appear until
the last moment, so they could not be
questioned about the matter.
Before the convention had convened,
shortly after o'clock, Senator Platt.
accompanied by Mrs. Platt and several
ladies. appeared in the parterre box
Immediately above the right of the
platform. The band played Hail to

yelled until it was hoarse.
Three cheers for Plattl" were given
again and again. The senator bowed
and smiled.

Lieutenant Governor Woodruff as
chairman called for committee reports
and Joseph NJ. Deuel. reported for the
committee on contested seats in favor
Of dividing the vote in the First and
Second districts In Brooklyn so as to
give each side a half vote.
Hugo Hirsch moved as an amend
ment that the committee be discharged
and that the sitting delegates be all
lowed to retain their seats. This state
ment of Mr.. Deuel. that each side had
been given an opportunity to be heard
was not correct. The Low people had
not been given fair show, while Lieu
tenant Governor Woodruff had been al
lowed to present the case Of the opposi-
tion at great length and was not linn
tied as to time The delegations headed
by Messrs. Chittendon and Buttling had
been honestly elected and were entitled
to the whole vote and no half vote.
