THE COLUMBIAN,
Bloomsburg, Pa.
FRIDAY, DKCEMBER 8, 1893.
The President's message to Con
gress is printed in full on an inside page
William F. Harrity is being urged
to accept the nomination as candidate
for congressman-at-large to succeed the
late General Li ly. A special election
will be ordered by the Governor.
The Lehigh Valley strike is over,
and both sides claim the victory.
The public is more interested in the
resumption of trafic on that road
than they are in the question of who
won the fight.
Congress convened in regular ses
sion on Monday. The President's
message was read, and a resolution to
investigate the trouble on the Lehigh
Valley railroad went over under ob
jection. The deaths of Char es
O'Neill and General Lilly were an
nounced and the House adjourned.
THE WAY THE REPUBLICANS DO IT.
At the recent November election
the republicans made a clean sweep of
all the county offices in Northumber
land county. It was the first for many
years, and see how they profit by it.
There was a meeting at Sunbury re
cently of the leading republican poli
ticians of the county to discuss who
should be the ones to be appointed to
do the clerical work tinder the newly
elected officials. The following is
part of the resolutions adopted :
We believe that the voters expect
that everyone appointed be actually
identified with the Republican party,
and this should be a condition prece
dent to appointment, nor should any
of the present officials be retained.
That a copy of these resolutions be
given to each one of the elected of
ficers and also a copy thereof together
with the proceedings of the meeting
be given to the newspapers of the
County for publication.
This is but a type of the republican
organizations in every county, state
and the national government. They
believe in removing democrats and
filling their places by republicans, and
bestowing favors upon those who are
deserving. There is a good lesson in
thte for the democracy in every county
and state, as well as for the general
government.
