3®s HSpaßLiej^i) LAPORTE, PA., OCT. 23rd, 1891. LOCAL DEPARTMENT. Sweet potatoes at T. J. Keeler's. Election is drawing close at hand. The trees are putting on their full tint. The early part of this week was slightly damp. Atty. E. M. Dunham is having his residence re-painted. T. J. Keeler is beautifying his residence with a brand new coat of paint. Mrs. Karns wasca'led to Columbia county, by sickness of relatives, on Monday. A new lot of dry goods just re ceived at T. J- Keeler's. Latest styles at bottom prices. Alphonsus Walsh is in attendance on U. S. court, as a juror, at Pitts burgh, this week. Mrs. Dunham and Xlrs. Mason, who have been ill for some time, are slowly on the gain.

Hurrah for McKinley 1 Mrs. Ballard and Mrs. Tinkle paugh, are visiting friends in Sus quehanna county, this week. If you want anything in the no tion line, you can find it at T. J. Keeler's. A full stock just received. Soldiers should be enthusiastic this campaign—two old comrades heads the ticket— GßEOU and MOR RISON. What's your opinion of a home candidate that spends a day and a night electioneering in adjoining counties The assault and battery case of W. H. Ellis vs. Philip Swisher and son William, of which we made mention of last week, was amicably settled, on Friday la-t. The population of EaglesMrre is creasing quite rapidly, two baby 's were born over there last week ie to Mr. and Mrs. E. S. Chase and one to Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Van- Binkirk. It is a matter lon« conceded that. Pennsylvania will elect Gregg and Morrison, but what will our Demo cratic friends crow about, should We carry both New York and Ohio. It certainly looks as though they were going to lose their voice- Quite a number of young people of LaPorte attended the Bloomsburg fair, last week, and all report a good time and an excellent fair. The horse trot was the principle attrac tion. There were several bands of music in attendance which enlivened the occasion very materially. Music is very essential on a fair ground. James Cunningham, of the hard ware Firth of Cunningham & Cole, of Dushore, was engaged in tinning the cupsilo of the Presbyterian church, at this place the latter part ot last week. While Jim was thus engaged, on Friday, the cupola took lire from his tinning stove and caused quite a commotion. The fire was extinguished without doing any serious damage, however. A. J- Ettinger of Thornedale, moved his family to LaPorte Monday, that bis children might have the advan~ tages of our graded school Mr. E. will reside at his place of business along the plank road where he has a birch oil distillery in operation. Our graded school is quite an at traction to parents who are desirous of affbrding their children excellent school advantages. Our school building is superior to any like structure in the county. The state annual convention of the W. C. T. U., convened at Brad ford, Pa., last week, and on Friday a large majority of the delegates were taken suddenly ill. The symptoms were faintness, violent purging and vomiting. It was first thought that the church in which they were convened, was im properly ventilated. However, it was soon discovered, that it was something more Serious and a con clusion reached that the sickness came from eating grapes which are supposed to have been sprinkled with poisonous compound used to destroy insects on the vines. The delegation were all restored to their usual good health and after a short recess the meeting continued. For a good winter cap goto T. J. Keeler's. Republicans, your vote is needed for the success of your party prin ciples, on the 3d day of November, hence be on time at the election polls. Democrats hope to down us by you remaining at home on this date and they polling a full party vote. We are pleased to announce however, that we have no sleepy Republicans in little Sullivan and I that there is no quession but that we will poll a few more than our party vote, for which our old soldier boys will take the hoiior. Much is expected of the comrades in this campaign. The Republican conference of the 24th Senatorial district re-convened in Bloomsburg on Thursday even ing and Friday of last week. On the latter day Mr. Blown withdiew his name as a candidate and Mr. James Scarlet of Danville, was nominated hi' acclamation after which he addressed the conference in a neat little speech. Mr. Scarlet is numbered with the most brilliant attornej's of Montour county. The Democrats nominated, A L. Fritz of Bloomsburg, also an attorney and Edwin Corrin a merchant of Di.n ville, on Tuesday the 73th. At a meeting of the Republican Standing Committee of Sullivan county, held at the Court House in LaPorte, on Wednesday Oct. 21st, 1891, a letter Was presented by Chaiiman Vincent from E- A. Strong withdrawing from the ticket his name as a candidate for Associate Judge. After some discussion the Committee accepted Judge Strong's withdrawal, and owing to its being so near election and not sufficient time to permit a candidate to make a proper canvass of the county, the Committee did not deem it advisable to,make another nomi ation to ill! the vacancy upon the ticket. The withdrawal of Judge Strong was entirely upon personal and busi ness grounds. The very many friends of Judge Strong regret ex ceedingly his withdrawal as lie has made an excellent Judge, and had he chosen to remain in the field would no doubt have been reelected F. P. VINCENT, Chairman. Some one started a joke at Harris burg on Thursday of last week to the effect that Mrs. Pdttison had just presented the Governor with a daughter. The author of the story had no evil intention in the matter, and a subsequent remark of bis showed that it was not true. How ever, it eairtt j to the ears of some thoughtless correspondents and it was wired all over the State. Most surprising is the fact that it wys published in the Philadelphia Record, one of whose owners is the Governor himself. While no harm has been done, it was a grievious error to start or circulate such a report, be cause it makes the domestic affairs of the Governor a subject for gossip, and must lie annoying to his good wife. The family affairs of every man are not fit subjects for jokes, and in this case there was no reason for originating the story, aud still less for circulating it without in quiry as Lo facts. Robert E. Wright the Democratic nominee for Auditor General gave the people of Bloomsburg a free talk on Thursday evening of last week. One of his sayings was : That, 'each and every Republican is tainted with dishonesty." Shortly after lie had made this assertion it was wonderful how his audience vacated their seats. It was estimated that there were but two hundred people present when he begun hisaddressand before he had finished we dare say the number decreased one half. We took a stroll down just for fun and stood near the entrance to the Court House and listened to what we could hear. Well, I tell you those Colum bia Republicans are true blue. If they did'nt condemn that man Wright and the Fishing Creek Con federacy it is a caution to us. You may bet we enjoyed it. A Prof, went by during the conversation and said something in defense of Wright. He was a one arm man and I think they called him Dolittle. We might add bis name was quite appropiate in that crowd. Nothing but "Walk er" would have been more appropri ate. Guess that fellow exercised his legs in the Fishing Creek Army He "Hewed." With the Sullivan Republicans as firm in their princi ples as are the Columbia Republi cans, we will poll many more thm our party vote on the 3d of Novem ber. The personal propprty of the late Abraham Morgan of Eagles Mere, will be ottered at public sale, on Wednesday, Oct. 28th, by the execu tors of said estate—Messrs Marrand Harding. For further particulars see hand bill. m It is announced by the Post Of fice Department that the reports from county seat postmasters are proving of great interest and signi tiance. The results so far attained prove the postmasters of the coun try properly appreciate the responsi bilities ol the office. It is worthy of note that they welcome univer sally the visits made in nccordance i with the order of the Postmaster General, and that they are disposed as a rule to carry out all suggestions looking towards improvement of the service. There is every reason why the postmasters of a county should become acquainted with each other, and that they should co-operate in any movement intended to increase ; accommodation. ! We were quite taken down at the ' modest appearance of the two Demo cratic candidates for Associate iJudges Yonkin and Phillips, the jotner day. Why these gentlemen |should have gone through a"modest ing" process was a scorcher for the people here to solve. It seemed 1 that they had done something that they were not quite willing for their 'neighbor to learn cf, hence, tlicy j made no confession. But you know I some of the boys are most apt to be j around when a joke is in progress land this one was no exception. The ; boys were there and watched them out of sight in the direction of Me ; hoopany. They were gone one day j and night during which time they were shaking hands With people | down in Luzerne and Wyoming. ;It is said they met Harry llard ling the Republican nominee for As sociate Judge of Wyoming county, some distance over the line and that they quietly introduced themselves and plead hard for his vote and su|>- port. Harding enjoyed the joke and finally made them a promise and inquired their route. Just down this way a few miles said John, pointing in the direction of Tunkhan nock. Mr. IJarHlug responded and said he was going that way too. That's my home. I live in Tunkhan nock. What 1 lire we in Wyoming said Maynard ? Yes, some six or eight miles. There John, I told you we were over the line. Get out, I told you, John replied. Good bye, Mr. Harding. And they struck a two forty gate and we are told did not speak to a man until they reached Ricketts. You can't blame them for beiug modest, can you boys ? Steelton, Pa., Oct. 15, 1801. Gov. Pattison has suffered him self to be misguided by his advisers in this matter of calling an extra session of the Senate. The courts of Philadelphia have never been ac cused of dealing unfairly, and it is in these courts that the men against . whom Governor Pattison turns his I guns can be indicted and tried for the crimes that they are charged with. The idea of bringing a matter of this kind before the Senate is ridiculous, but it is in keeping ! with Hie pea-nut politics that have ' characterized the Governors advisers. I The Governor is in bad hands, and lie will not realize his position until the fourth day of November. Then Ihe will find the presidential bee knocked out of his bonnet and his extra session no good only for squandering more of the State funds on a dead cluck. Gregg and Morrison will charge the ramparts of the democracy on the 3d of November, and drive Harrity, llensel and Pat tison into their little holes. Oh! so sick. Now let us stand up in solid column against this trickery of the pea-nut politicians in the democratic party. As for defaulting and embezzling State officials you find them without number in the democratic party, but they are hardly ever brought to justice and punished. Republicans as a general rule apprehend and punish their officials when found guilty of a misdemeanor in office. We do not arrange all democrats as thieves nnd robbers. But if one republican embezzles, like Bardsley the democracy charges the entire republican party with that crime. DUTCH. OBITUARY. MR. AND MRS. ABRAHAM MORGAN, LATE OF EAGLES MERE. The death of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan of Eagles Mere mentioned in the last issue of the REPUBLICAN deserves more than a passing notice. They having been residents of this county for over forty years and largely identified in the social and religious interests of our county during that time. They were both natives of Ireland. Mr. Morgan was born January Ist 1809 in Kerry county and Mrs. Morgan September 28th 1814 in the County of Cork. Married nt Bandow December 29th 1841. Came to America in 184(i making their home in Philadelphia from the time of their arrival until 1848 when they settled with Mrs. Morgans fathers family Richard Lisson,on what was known as the Macky farm in Shrewsbury town ship. The}' become soon known in the community as persons of in telligence and active in sustaining religious worship. The Episcopal church with which they were mem bers had at that time a small mem bership in the county, btil no resN dent ministry and but few members who were making any effort to sus tain worship according to the forms of their church. They deeply felt the deprival they were subject to and used every effort within their power to overcome it. A few years after their settlement here John S. Green who with his family were identified in the same church rela-| tions removed from Cherry to La- Porte, and Mrs. Sayer of Montrose with her familj who were also of the church connection. Prior to Mr. j Greens settlement here the Rev J Mr. Bylsby of Susquehanna count}' held regular services for a few years at Mr, Greens residence, in what| was known as the Green settlement, and soon after Mr. Greens removal here visited LaPorte and used his elfotts to sustain church services in this county. His efforts resulted in obtaining a zealous and efficient co-worker in Rev. Mr. Douglass of Towanda, who as often as his time would admit came to our county and held service at LaPorte and Eagles- Mere. About 185(5 the services of Rev. Mr. Townsand were secured who labored on the field for over a year, and on his resigning his charge the work was taken up by the Rev. Mr. Heat on who for a number of years rendered very acceptable service in the ministry of that church in this County, lie was followed by Rev. Mr. Harding, and more recently by the Rev. Mr. Gregsou. To no families in giving large support and by efficient co opperation for many years are we more indebted for the Episcopal churches at LaPorte and Eagles- Mere than that of Mr. Morgan and Green. Their efforts were early put forth and gave an incentive to others of more means to co-opper ate in the work. For several years Mrs. Morgan sustained a Sabbath School at her house and otherwise rendered valuable service to the cause in her christian labors. Mr. Morgan will be remembered by our older citizens as a man who long ago held a prominent place in the affairs of our county. Probably no man in Shrewsbury was oftenp: called upon to hold public trus*.. or who discharged such dutie*- with a greater degree of fide' In 1859 he was elected to the office of coun ty commissioner, associated with Robert Taylor and James Dunn. During the last twenty years their home was the pleas.mt abode of many who sought health and pleas ure at Engleß.Mere, and hospitality and kindly attentions to visitors give a well deserved reputation to this place of resort long before it assumed its present notoriety. They met with a heavy loss in 1872 by their house being destroyed by fire, but hv their dilligent efforts and the kindness of friends they were able to rebuild. Mrs. Morgans death occurred on the Gth inst and Mr. Morgan the 10th. Rev. Mr. Harding of Trenton N. J., officiated at both funerals. * . » * The Republicans were asleep last year and allowed the Democrats a big "scoop." This year they are wide awake, as is evidenced by the campaigns in Ohio, lowa, New York, Massachusetts and here in the Keystone state. OPENING OF FALL & WINTER SEASON ThiSl Will.
