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
