Gather your apples. Our W. &N. Li- R. R. time table, is correct. Attend the ball to-night, (Thurs day) at the Commercial Hotel. The election ticket this fall, will be composed of eight columns. The supposition is—David B. Hill is a good while accepting. Election will soon be here. Only four weeks from next Tuesday. Atty. J. H. Cronin of Dushore, was transacting business at the county seat, Monday. Mr. and Mis. John E. Gallagher of Laporte, were visiting friends in Cherry, over Sunday. Nelson Bennett of Eagles Mere, called and renewed his subscription to the REPUBLIC AX, Monday. With this issue the REPUBLICAN enters on its thirteenth year ot existence. This is Volume 13 No. 1. Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Flynn of Jami son City, were calling on Laporte friends, the early part of this week. Uriah Gritman of Scranton, was visiting bis cousin, D. C. Gritman and family of near Nordmont, last week. At any ordinary time there is ample hotel accommodations in Forksville, but during fair time, its a squeeze. J. W. Ballard of Laporte, took the first prize, for erecting neat and well constructed buggies, at the Forksville fair. Our sportsmen report pheasants very scarce and very few have been killed since the season opened on Monday, Oct. Ist. Mrs. John T. Brewster of Wash ington, D. C., is visiting friends in Laporte. She is the guest of her brother, John H. Green, Worth Jennings our candidate for Member, is meeting with many encouraging assurances every day aud his election is almost certain. The Ladies Aid Society of Laporte will meet at the residence of Mrs. T. J. Keeler, Wednesday Oct. 17, 1894. MRS. J. H. SPENCER, Secy. Hon. M..1. Phillips, who lias the contract of furnishing the court room, is proud of his order and says he will give our people the best in the market. John Marston, Jr. of Hugbesville who served as chief engineer on the W. k N. B. has finished his labors along this line and will go South in search of employment. Mr. and Mrs. Hon. Itussel Karns and daughter Mrs. R. M. Stormont and Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Crossley, all of Laporte, are in attendance at the Bloom fair, this week. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kohenspar ger of Laporte township and propr, of the Eagle Hotel, were visiting friends iA Lycoming and Columbia counties, last week. They report a pleasant time. Mr. Ambrose Farrell the Demo cratic nominee for Member, was in town Monday and in the evening a select meeting was held, we presume for the purpose of talking over the political situation. The steamer, "Queen of Mokoma" should be looked after by the proper officials of the Lake Mokoma Land Company. The water should be emptied out of the boiler and she should be placed in winter quarters. County Commissioners, Litzel man, Farrell and Webster and their cletk, John E. Glmllagher, took the early morning train on Tuesday en route to Pottsville, where they will attend the State Commissioners convention which convened at that place on Oct. 9th.

A friend inquired of him the reason for such a proccedure when he re plied: "So that he can stay behind me and let my girl's old man kick him down the steps instead of me, if the worst comes to worts." A smart young man, that— Ex. Many Democrats think—David B. Hill the next thing to saton. The Democrat! c papers are mak ing a great deal of hubbub over Mr. Buekalew's, speech recently deliver ed in Sunbnry. The people are tired of reading speeches. Speech-making was about the only thing the last Congress did. The people want a man in Congress who will attend to business and that man is larmer Kulp. Arbitrators were chosen in the case of Ambrose Fnrrell vs William McMahon—for slander, on Monday October Bth, 1894. The following persons were selected as arbitrators, viz: Joseph Litzelswope, J. W. Rogers aud 31. R. Black. The arbitration will take place at Hotel Carrol. Dushore, on Tuesday Oct. i3d at 10 a. m. BELLEFONTS, Oct. 7.— Hon Andrew Gregg Curtin, the old War Governor of Pennsylvania, died this morning at 5 o'clock. His death was not only painless but calm, the last vital spark going out after a sleep of twelve hours, a peaceful ending to the long, useful aud even turbulent public life of this great and distin guished mitri. The heater for our new court house of which we have heard so much about, arrived on Monday and Frank transported the same from the depot to the building on Tuesday. Men are now at work erecting it, and hope to have it in working order by the first of next month. The courthouse, when completed, will bo a handsome and a well constructed building and will be nicely and appropriately furnish ed. To a man up a tree it would ap pear that the rank and file of the Democratic party of Sullivan coun ty, are anxious to see the ring of their party snowed under this fall,and a gooc. part of this rank and file are going to help do it, too. The ring- Hters will get it where the chicken got the axe, this fall and dont you for get it. The Democratic party of Sullivan county, will Lave a new head in 1895. Will Vote the Republican Ticket. Father o'Brein,tbe popular priest at Kellyville, a life long Democrat, ha 3 announced the fact that he will vote the Republican ticket in Nov. and never will vote the Democratic ticket again. He is thoroughly disgusted with the actions of the last Congress. The reverend Father is a strong admirer of His Honor, Judge Clayton, and will do all be can to aid in his election.— Chester Times. John J. Low of near Sonestown has purchased a truck farm near Watsontown, Pa., and took posses sion of the same the early part of this week. Air. Low is a good neighbor and citizen and has a host of friends in little Sullivan. He has served our people as County Commissioner and in several town ship offices and was always found at his post doing the bidding of his appointment, lie made an excellent officer. Mr. Low and family have the best wishes of the REPUBLICAN. When 3'our father is 72 years of age you will refuse to let him do even the chores about the house and barn. Well thats the way the peo* pie feel of Hon. Chas. It. Buckalew. lie has been our father in Congress and the deal only knows where for the past half century, and we want him to take the old arm chair during the remainder of his life and enjoy his old age. Think of it. Over three score years and ten and ask to represent this district in Congress. Why, it is absurd. When a man has held offioe for ten years and received a salary of between forty and fifty thousand dol lars, we think the people have done enough for that individual and should share the good things at their hands and give another tax payer a chance. Judge Sittser is a gentle man, but we think as th® Tunkhannock Democrat did ten years ago of Judge Ingham, that he has had a good big pull out of the district and should be content. We have been informed that Judge Sittser compliments Mr. Dunham very highly, as being an able atty., hence according to his own convic tions Mr. Dunham must be compe tent to do the Judges bench honor. We have naught to say of Judge Sittser. He has been a good friend of the REPUBLICAN, but we feel as many others do in this matter. He has bad a good thing at th" bands of the peopie-»a salary tbat will keep himself and'family a life time and should not ask the people to contin ue the gift. Of course the tax payers are considering this question and on the 6th of November they will have made up their mind and will oast their ballot accordingly, Mtreby in the Hole That WM DOE For Ua. The REPUBLICAN has been per sistent in the belief that Mr. Bucka lew was not unanimously nominated in the Democratic Oonferenoe recent ly held at Danville. The Dushore Gazette has called us a liar in our statements and said that Mr. Bucka lcw had the unanimous vote of the Conference. We have gone to a little trouble in the matter and have secured the following nlliidavit which denounces Mr. Streby a rot ten debauehed liar of the lowest stamp. He evidently thought we could not secure the necessary papers to prove our assertion, hence could make it appear to the public that we were making false statements in the matter, when we were sincere and only repeated, as we staled in our columns, that which came to us by mail. Streby occupies the hole that was dug for us, and we are more than glad to place him there, too. HERE IS THE AFFIDAVIT. STATE OF PENNSYLVANIA, >gg COUNTY OF NORTHUMBERLAND, 112 T.J.

The attendance on Friday was estimated at two thons* and people. Tho Log Cebin was erected as was advertised and we must say that it compairs favorably with the othor buildings on the ground. The Main building is a small eoncerne and would hardly make a ticket otllcc for some county fairs. The exhibits in this building were all In mass, and the articles did not show off to a good advantage owing to the cluster. Judge Jngiiam gave n historical address of Sullivan county, on Fri day at 2 p. m.and was listened to by a large concourse of people. The Judge occupied a stand erected for the occasion in front of the Old Log Cabin ; with this over the excitement of the day was at hand. The lady contest of hitching up horseß and driving around the ring. MISB Emily Ponteroy of Dushore and Mrs. Austin Brown of Shunk, were the contestants. The Judges evened up their horses, but it was some little time before the ladies could com mence the contest owing to the crowd of people on the track. The big burly policemen of Elmira who were there to do the police work, were called upon to force the gather ing back, but they proved useless aud the track was not cleared until some of our home people took it upon themselves to force the anxious and excited gathering back and out of tho way. Then one of the Judges counted three and the ladies with harness on their arms proceoded to their steeds and eamly, but quickly buckled up tho straps. Miss Emily won and a cheer went up that shook the earth. Mrs. Brown drove A. Kilmer's horse and Miss Emily Dr. Waddell's. With this to a close, it was getting late, and we started homeward bound. The voters take to Farmer Kalp. Well, how can they help it. Farmer is a gentlemam and a genial good fellow and always makes it pleasant for those about him regard less of their political oomplexion. We think he is one of the finest and brightest young men that ever oame into our county and you will ihink sotoo, when you have met him. Far mer will be here next week and make a canvass of our county. When he comes to your bouse take him by the hand and talk to him as you would an old friend just returning from the battle field. No fogylsin or flys on Farmer Kulp. Now that the season for lighting up the usual number of stoves for the winter is fast approaching, every householder should give the dues a critical inspeotiou and have them putin perfeot condition before put ting up their stoves. To neglect this precaution might result in a costly conflagration. A number of our people are in attendance at the Bloom fair, this week. r« Sal*.

DUNHAM. Edwin M. Dunham, the Republi can candidate for President Judge of the 44th Judicial District, was born in Windham, Bradford county, August 31, 1844. He was the young est son of John L.and Laura M. Dunham, llis falher was a farmer whose family formerly lived in Con necticut. His mothers maiden name was Laura M. Cheney, decending from the well known Vermont family of that nnme. In July, 185(5, John L. Dunham removed with his family to Laporte, Sullivan county, and was engaged in the lumber business until August, 1861, when he was aceidently drown ed in attempting to start a jam of logs, which were so dangerously placed that Mr. Dunham preferred at attempting the perilous work himself rather than call upon those engaged with him to undertake it. Edwin M. attended country school at Windham and Laporte, and at the latter place enjoyed the advan tages of four years in the hi«h school under Rev. llallock Arm strong, who then resided at Laporte. After finishing his course at this school Edwin was employed as a school teacher, at fiast in Sullivan county and afterwards in Towandn, where he was principal of the grad ed school. Front there he under took a similar work in Orange coun ty, N. Y. In the meantime bo had registered as a law student in the oflice of Judge Ingham at Laporte, and pursued his legal studies during liis vacations and at such times as his duties permitted while engaged as a teacher. I In his 22(1 year of age, May, 1806, Mr. Dunham was admitted to the liar in Sullivan county and entered into partnership with Judge Ingham continuing in this partnership until 1873, when Mr. Ingham went upon the bench. Since 18GG Mr. Dunham Las been continuously and actively on gaged in the practice of his profession for many years has been the leader of his bar. lie has been engaged on every important case tried in the count}', in which ho has been mark edly successful. His first case in the Supreme Court WHS the well knowu ea»e uf King vs Forka town ship, in which a reversal of the dis tinguished jurist, Judge Elwell, was secured, Mr Dunham alone repre senting tht. appealing litigant. Sinoe the trial of that case Mr. Dunham has had a continued practioe in the higher court of the State, and is known as one of the ablest and most successful lawyers at that bar from his section of the State. Mr. Dunham lias Veen emphatic ally a busy lawyer, ant. 'ias devoted his time to his profession almost to the exclusion of politics. ile is, however, and has always been, a consistent believer in tbe principles of the Republican party, and has often publicly advocatod his princi ples. On various occasions be bas been called upon to stand as the candidate of his party, and has sev eral times tilled elective ollices in a county which is more than two-thirds Democratic. He was elected Dis trict Attorney in 1870, and to the Legislature in 1878. In 1882 and again in ISBO he was the choice of his county for Congress, failing of nomination in the district confer ence. In 1886 he lacked but one vote of the nomination- The family of John L. Dunham consisted of three sons, Henry R., Benjamin \l. and Edwin M. When the war broke out the two oldest boys enlisted in the volunteer ser vice. Henry B. as a first lieutenant and Benjamin as a private in Co. K. 14lst Regiment. Henry came out of tbe army as a captain, but with broken health, and deid in Kansas a few years later. Benjamin was kill ed at the battle of Chanceilorsville, Va. Too young to enter the army, Edwin remained at home with his widowed mother, who lived with him until her death last year. In Mr. Dunham was married to Miss Hannah M. Crocker, a niece of tbe late Michael Meylert. Several children were born io this union, but one surviving, an invalid and much loved daughter, Miss Ellen. Mr. Dunham is an excellent ex ample of sturdy American manhood. He has a fine physique, regular fent~ ures, and a dignified presence,and al though now past fifty years of age, one oould easily mistake him for forty. His twenty-eight years of ardious legal work have left him with an easy and kindly disposition, companionable manners, and a frank and merry laugh. While his situa tion has been such that he could never board money, yet he has al ways enjoyed a moderate competence and baß freely shared with publlo enterprises and charities. Though pot aotively connected with any particular religious denomination he has, in acoord with his means, always been a supporter of ami oontributot to Christian oharclies. His habits are temperate in all things, and in all his life no one can truthfully point to a dishonorable or shady action. As a lawyer Mr. Dunham has been engaged in a general practico cover ing all (he oases which can arise in an interior district. This practice covers criminal and common law cases, and proceedings in equity and the Orphans Court. Mr. Dunham is a hard worker with a quick and dcscerning mind, and in the trial of cases is noted for his careful prepar ation, his quickness to seize upon the weak spot in the other side, and for his logical and analytical argu ments. If lie should be chosen as Judge of this district he will be found to be an absolutely fair man, fearless in the discharge of his duty, prompt in the dispatch of business, unswayed by political or partisan motives, free from dangerous allilia tions with corporations,kind yet just with unfortunates, with a full under standing of the law and the willing ness and ability to execute it.
