Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1898-03-03

explained in the fact that Mr.. Robinson
could not use. dictate TO or control Mr..
Moore in the last legislation MIR.
Moore, and Mr.. Dindinger also. pursued
a manly course, serving their constltu-
ents, and could not be pulled or driven
into the service of the bosses on any
question. This did not suit Mr.. Robin
son. who was there holding an office at
$4,000, a year and should be at Harris
burg now attending 10 his duties in
stead of at Butler trying TO dictate TO
the Republicans of the county, who
they should nominate. Why!
Third. Has the Hospital at Butler,
now nearly completed, anything to do
with Mr.. Robinson's hostility TO Mr..
MooreT We need not say further on
this than that Mr. RobinsOn's conduct
on the Hospital movement has been 40
purely selfish as TO bring upon him not
only the censure but the contempt of
almost all citizens. Because he could
not have his way he opposed the move
ment of the good women, which has re
suited in getting a Hospital built he
even opposed an Appropriation for II.
Mr. Moore being in Legislature, got II
through. 1t is now erected and Will
soon be ready for use. But 1t VIII need
and ought to have State aid. MT
Moore. if sent back to the Assembly,
will, and can procure this ard. ANY
candidates whom Robinson favors for
the Legislature would likely, if elected,
listen to him on the Hospital matter.
How should the Republicans of Butler
or of the County, vote at the coming
primary on this question: Clearly Tor
two candidates for Legislature who
have been and are friendly to the Hos.
pital. All citizens, men, women, and
children, are all interested in the Hos
pital 1t is much needed and viii be
blessing as well as credit to our coun-
ty. Let there be no mistake made IN
this matter
But. finally, and deeper down and
back of all above, may not the fact tnat
the next Legislature has to elect a
United States Senator have much TO DO
with the great interest Mr.. Robinson Is
taking in our primary, coming nome
here. as we have said, instead OF at
tending to his duties at Harrisburg
He knows he cannot use, trade on or
control. Messrs Moore and Dindinger on
that question and hence Is trying to
prevent their denomination. But now
is the opportunity of the Republicans
OF Butler county 10 dlu III tHIO"Li5 I'll
a one man power in the State that has
become so obi Gus and arbitrary as to
bring shame and reproach upon our
party. Mr. Quay wants to succeed him
self. but the people are disposed to give
him rest, in order that he can give all
his time to his fishing exercises in Flor
ida and not be troubled with law max
ing matters. Mr. Robinson favors
keeping him in the Senate, and he ought
to. because Quay has mainly been the
means of getting him offices that aggre-
gate now about $4,000 to-wit: The
Postoffice, at Butler in some shape or
form for about twenty years, at an
average in all of $4,000 a year, making
say $40, 900: and the Office of Public
Printer at $4,000 per year, for the five
years he will hold it so, 0e0; in all said
$50, 900, saying nothing about the nu,
merous other offices he or his have held
in this county or in the state at Harris
burg. Is it any wonder he wants to de
feat Moore and Dindinger, who are
with the people on this question and
cannot be bought or sold!
