TREASURER WILLIAM II. tlAUT, cif Montgomery County. F..R AUPITOR nKNKRAt. JOHN A. M PASS M OK K, of Luzurno County. REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET. FOR SHKRIFF D. C, OYSTKR, of Ridgwny. "Consistency Thou Art a Jewel." As this is the last issue of the Advo cate before election, we desire to nny a few words in regard to the slierifl question in addition to what has al ready been said. The Democrat, last week, cl ves what it calls "Ovstcr's Po litical Record.'' Among other things it says: "Last year, owing to the absence by a detention of the innil, of severa delegates who were opposed to niak' ing a nomination, he wns falsely de dared the choice of his party, for An- senibly. Hut his happiness was of chort duration. A large number of his party repudiated his candidacy, yet he clung to the ticket with a per Htatency born of desperation until the eleventh hour, when he was literally forced oil" by his party friends, ani.1 then, instead of remaining nt home and exerting his influence for Eearley, he quietly crept away to Pittsburgh, or some other point, and did not re turn until after election. Yet in the face of this ungallant act in the chap ter of last year's blunders, he has the audacity to solicit Democratic votes on the plea that ho withdrew last vcar and elected Earley. Yes he did with draw, but it was such a withdrawal as a man makes when he is kicked into the street." Now look on theotherside of the pic ture as given by the Veinocrat in its Issue of November 2nd 1870. S e ik ing of circulars issued by Mr. Wim iner it says : "The third and last circular refers refers to the withdrawal of Mr. Oyster, and is addressed more particularly to Republican voters. The "honorable" gentleman then in timates that Oyster and a few of his Ridgway Republican friends sold themselves to Earley. This intima tion is highly unjust. Mr. Oyster withdrew at the earnest solicitation of Lis friends, they feeling satistied that, while his election was impossible, his presence in the field jeopardized the chances of Earley whom they pre ferred to "Wimmer." Where is the little joker? As the late John Belgian used to say. "One waySit was, and one way it wasn't." Last fall Oyster withdrew to help Enrlcy, now that withdrawal was be cause he was "kicked" out and after being so used he crept away and didn't come up to the help of Earley against the mighty. "Lord, lord, how this world is given to lying." It makes a large and constantly in creasing difference with Eugene whether its his bull or our ox that is gored. When Oyster "at the solicita tion of his friends" withdrew from the Assembly canvass in 1870, he was a "bully boy" nono better, now that "at the solicitation of his friends" he is a candidate for SherilF, his with drawal was not of his own motion but he was "kicked" out. Rluffand brag go a long way some times, but the bluster of the few com posing the ring who are trying to elect Kime will be of no avail this fall. Oyster is not forced to go to ihe other end of the State for newspaper creden . tials as to his character (every printer knows how they are manufactured,) but stands before a peoples who have known him from infancy and amongst whom he has obtained a prominent and substantial position. The ways of the politician are known to all, and if one word could have been said against the character of Daniel C. Oyster, or one dishonest or disreputa ble act shown it would have been hawked around the county in every form and the changes rung unyn it until people sickened at the sight of a frieud of Kime. They are reduced entirely to lying and, so far, have been unable to invent more than-cue that is likely to be of use. "Oyster is not a candidate." Do not believe it! When any one tells you that, he lies, and wilfully. Oyster is and will be a candidate until he is, on the night of the sixth of November next, shown to . be Sheriff elect. When Kimc's friends say ho is sure to be elected, ask them the reason for the faith that is in tht.m? Ask them where he is to get his votes? They will meet you with assertions only, or with figures that your own knowlege will tell you are false. The struggle of Kime's friends is the desperate effort of a clique fight ing to retaiu a power that is menaced and tottering upon the verge of de struction. LTnder such circumstances lies are to be expected from them and only the most simple will be misled. Do not be deceived, The result, as the canvass now Is, lies between Burke and Oyster, with the chances in favor of the latter, but those chances should be made certainties, and it can only be by those citizens who desire good and responsible men to fill offices re fraining from throwing their votes away upon men who, however good they may be, have no chance of an election, and concentrating upon the best one remaining. That is Daniel C. Oyster; Make no mistake in the matter Oyster or Burke will be the next Sheriff. Whom will ye have? s Election Proclamation. WHEREAS, In nml by the 13th boo lion of the Act of General A"em- bly of Pennsylvania, pnt!il July 2, 18G!) entitled An net relating to the elootion ol the Commonwealth," It is enjoined on Ihe Sherift of every county to give notice ot men elections to be held, and to enumerate in sucli notice what officers nre to be eko led. 1 n Ipiirsnance (hereof, I, DANIKI, fiUUt.L.
