A 11 communications should be addressed to i TUB COLUMBIAN, Bloomsburg, Pa. THURSDAY, APRIL 16, 1896. The Columbian believes in the honesty of the Democratic paity, and in its ability to govern by placing honest and competent men in public office. It believes that in this county the Democratic party has as a general thing selected that kind of men for office, especially during the past few years since it broke loose from the yoke of scheming and unscrupulous bosses, and has been running things its own way. Some time ago, the party overthrew its would-be bosses, and put an end to the one-man power, and determined that all county offices should no longer be filled at the dic tation of one person. In this respect the party has already reformed itself. The Columbian never said that the Democratic paity was not fit to have control of affairs, and that the offices ought to be filled by Republicans. It never said anything, that could with any sort of reason be construed into any such a meaning, and the effort of the Sentinel of two weeks ago to mis construe and misrepresent our article, was simply amusing to intelligent men who can read, and understand what they read. We believe in the Democratic party, We believe in Grover Cleveland, the Democratic President, and in his abil lty and integrity. We believe in the honesty and competency of Demo cratic officials generally, and hence we endeavor to maintain the principles of Democracy, and we recognize the ability of the party to rule the nation, state and county. If we believed one halt of what the Sentinel has said about Democratic officials, from the President down to the court house janitor, we could not support a party capable of placing so many bad men in office, and hence we repeat what we have said before, that if what the Sentinel says be true, the party had better be utterly overthrown. But we do not assent to any such a proposition, and hence we shall use every endeavor to overcome the evil effects of its attacks upon representa tive Democrats, and to bring back to Columbia county its old time majority of 2500. Sowing seeds of distrust and discontent among the people has a tendency to make them lose interest in public affairs, and the result of this is that they will not take the trouble to go to the polls on election day. They are led to believe that all the Democrats holding public office are plunderers, and believing what they read in disgruntled newspapers, they uecome disgusted, and stay at home The reduced majorities in this county tor several years past have occurred not because the Democrats voted the Republican ticket, but because many 01 tnem aid not vote at all, and one of the most potent factors in bringing tnem to tnis state ot mind has been these constant attacks upon Demo cratic. officials, and upon prominent Democrats of national and sta te repu tation. The Republican party has owed its long supremacy in the nation to the fact that it has stood by its represent ative men through thick and thin. No party can maintain an organization unless its members act together, and they cannot win except by concerted effort. The Republicans fully under stand this, and hence it is that they chuckle with delight at the discord they see is being sown in Democratic ranks in this county, and are encour aged by the hope that it will not be many years before they will control the elections here, if this sort of thing is permitted to go on. This is a Presidential year, and the Democrats must stand solidly together it they would accomplish any good results. Demagoguery, under the guise of " reform, " has run rampant uutil the act has been considerably overdone, and the Democrats of the county are tired of it. They have no use for "reformers" whose methods of reform lead to the disruption of the party. If Congress should really go home next month and give Prosperity a chance to be Queen of the May, what a mad, merry Maying the country might have even vet ! No, thank you. The Democracy of Columbia county do not want any Populism nor free silver fallacy in theirs. HON. GRANT HRRING ENDORSED, At their recent county convention the Columbia county Democrats in structed their delegates to the state convention to vote for and use all honorable means to secure the elec tion of lion. Grant Herring as a dis trict delegate to the national Demo cratic convention to be held at Chicago in June next. I here is no prominent Democrat in this state who is more deserving of such an honor. Mr. Herring as a Dem ocrat is of the true blue stripe : he up holds Democracy because he believes in its never dying principles. As a campaigner, he is a willing worker tit . . 0 and ne has done valiant service in ad vocating the election of Democratic candidates on national, state, con gressional and county tickets. His address in this city during the last Cleveland campaign will ever be re membered as one of the best ever delivered in Democracy's cause. Mr. uerrmg withal is a popular centleman and an efficient official, which quali- . : . 1 ... .. iics, in addition to those already mentioned, are worthy of any support that will be given him as delegate to the national convention. If the honor is conferred upon Mr. Herring, Democrats can well rest assured that in his capacity as delegate, their best interests will be looked after with the fidelity and loyality that has alwavs characterized the gentleman. Lock Haven Daily Democrat. A Card. To the Democratic voters of Colum bia County: In this issue of this paper I have elsewhere announced my name as candidate for the Democratic nomination of District Attorney. During my present term I have honestly endeavored to do my duty fairly and impartially, and my record will show with what result. If this record meets with your ap probation, I would like you to extend to me the same privilege it has been the uniform custom of the party to do; that is, to give me a second term. Tiios. B. Hanly. The card of Ralph R. John Esq., Attorney at Law, appears in another column of this paper. He has opened an office in the Hartman building on Market Square. The Prudential Life Insurance Company has been moved from the Evan's building to the Ent building below the Court House. The East Street sewer near Fifth street is blocked. Commissioner Housel has a gang of men repairing the same. The finances of the Williamsport hospital are so low that the closing of the doors of that institution is threat ened. Trailing Arbutus. According to the reports of young people who have traveled over the surrounding hills in quest of trailing arbutus or May flowers there will be a large quantity of them to gather. The handsome new residence which E. E. Bittenbender has had erected on the Light Street road is about completed, and ready for a tenant. It is one of the most complete houses in the town, and to the right party will be rented for a reasonable price. You often hear people say that there never was such a Spring, or Summer, or Winter. During the disagreeable weather of last week, a similar remark was made, when a by stander who has kept a diary for a number of years contradicted the statement. He said that "two years ago on the nth of April there was twenty inches ot snow on the ground. It commenced snowiner on the roth at 1 1 o'clock, and continued without interruption until 3 o'clock P. M. on the nth." It sometimes is a good thing to have a diary. R. H. Woodward Comnanv. Haiti- . 4 j j more, Md., announce a new publica tion, "Story of Turkey and Armenia."
