P. 11. SECHLER, Of Prospect boro. THEY are baying a great time in West Virginia over the election of a 1 S. Senator.

The Democratic House unseated two Republican members, and the Republican Senate retaliated by unseating two Democratic members, so they are just where they started. When the Constitution of the United States is so amended as to require the election of United States Senators by the popular vote, we will have statesmen instead of politicians iu the U. S. Senate. For I Some sixty representative business men of Pittsbnrg and Allegheny, met last Saturday afternoon, and adopted the following resolutions.

Whereas, Not only do the vast interests of Western Pennsylvania require the presence in the United States Sen ate of an alert and able champion of special understanding and sympathy with these interests, but furthermore, national and international guestions, arrived atid imjiending.demanil there also in the interests and for the honor of the whole American people, the highest type of intelligence, integrity and con science that the country can afford, and Whereas, we have now in the House of Representatives such a man, who has faithfully, conscientiously and ably rep resented ns for the past twelve years in a manner which has not only given 11s a voice in the councils of the Nation, but also has honored our district by winning a plat in the first rank of the people's representatives; now Is; it Resolved, that we earnestly request of the representatives of Allegheny county jn the legislature in the state of Penn sylvania, that they vote for, support, and In every manner in their power ex ert their influence toward the election of Hon. John Dalzell to the high office of Senator of the United States from Pennsylvania, and father that we earnestly appeal to the representatives of all the other counties of Western Pennsylvania to join ns in the pro motion of their and our common inter by likewise extending their support to Mr and further lie it Resolved, that we do hereby com rnend the Hon. William Flinn for flustraight forward, manly anil honorable course he has taken in nominating, on the floors of the Senate of the State of Pennsylvania the Hon. John for Senator, and we request him and his associates to eontinne the effort so well begun toward the final election of Hon John Dalzell to the Senate of the United States. And be it further Resolved, That a copy of these resoln tions lie sent by the secretary of this meeting to each legislator from Allegheny county and Western Pennsylva nia.

WASHINGTON. On Thursday last the President notu inatid John Watters to be I'. at Evans City, and Alfred W. Christy to be I'. M.

M.

A Two Months Canvass. a number of the Republicans of the county assembled in front of the the Court House last Saturday morning and stood around talking to each other until the rain drove them into the Court House corridor. At 1 P. M. they began a.

in the hall in the Younkins building, and half an hour later County Chairman McCollough called the meeting to order and a calling of the roll showed that only about half of the regularly elected I Committeemen were anur.i-ber of substitutions were ma de, some of whom had proxies and some not, and these substitutes probably controlled the action of the meeting. Chairman McCollough announced that the object of the meeting was to 1 fix the time for holding the Primary. J. B. Cunningham of Clinton asked I for an expression from the candidates, as also did Dr Thomas of Fairview.

Harry Caldwell of Bruin said he had sjjoken to a nnniber of candidates and that they all. with one exception, favored an early primary, and therefore he suggested, Tuesday, March 28, from 1 P. as the time, the Return Judges to meet next day. Caldwell's suggestion was put in the form of a motion, and Cunningham moved to amend by substituting the first Saturday in May. This brought up the question of Satnrd ay or Tuesday, and C.

M. Brown of Harrisville moved to substitute the Saturday precetding the time named by Caldwell, and argued for Saturday. John Womer defended the time fixed by his resolution of last year. He cited the vote of last one of the largest ever he did not want to be questioned at Sunday School and Church regarding the election that this was a question of morals that if a certain County Chairman referred to by another speaker had kept his office closed on Sunday it would not have been crowded with men seeking election news, etc. La 4t year's resolution was read, and J.

S. Campbell of Cherry moved to reaffirm it. Cunningham, Brown and Starr favored Saturday as a matter of motions and amendments were withdrawn. Dr. DeWolf moved to hold the next Primary on Saturday: Caldwell spoke for Tuesday and Locke for Saturday, and the motion for Saturday carried by a vote of 20 to 18.

Then Geo Cooper moved to have the Primary on Saturday, March 25tb, from Ito7P. M. JB. Cunningham moved to amend by making it the first Saturday in May; County Chairman McCollough ruled Cunningham's amendment out of order and the rising vote as announced was 21 for March 25, and 18 opposed Then Harlan Book moved that the Return Judges meet in Butler on the following Tuesday; Dr. DeWolf amended to De Wolf's amendment was accepted and carried.

Why DeWolf's amendment was considered and Cunningham's ruled out is an open question. The time allowed a little over two months is entirely too short for any man not in the most vigorous of health to make a canvass of the county, during the winter months. Two prospective candidates have al ready given it up and publish their cards of withdrawal. A CARD. Owing to ill health 1 am unable to make a canvass of the county for the office of Register and Recorder at this time.

I hope to be able to ask for polit ical preferment at some future date, and in the meantime thank my friends for their cordial support and encourage ment thus far in the present campaign. S. M. WRIGHT, Jefferson twp. A CARD.

I wish to state to the Republican voters of Bntler county that I will not be a candidate for Register and Record er at the coming Republican primary My business relations were snch that I found it would be impossible for uie to make a thorough canvass of the county.
