To the Voters or XorthcmberlajTd
County. It has always been a rule, that
both sides of the river be represented in In.
Board of Commissioners, and was conce
ded as just and right until this year, the
Democrats departed from the rule. Wheth
er they nominated both candidates on this
aido of the "river for a certain object, can
be Imagined when it is known how it was
mapaged. Mr. Henrie having served but
one year, the delegates considered it no
more than right to give him the nomina
tion, as they considered him an honorable
man. Aftrr his nomination, the 'Ring,
who wanted Reitz, made a bold push and
succeeded in his nomination before their
object was discovered. In this way the
upper end was cheated ouj, of their candi
date, and should Messrs. Henrie and Reitz
both be elected the other side of the river
would be without a representative in the
Board of Commissioners for the next three
years to come. The Republican candi
date, Mr. J. G. Durham, is the only candi
date from the upper end, who has proved
himself to be one of the best Commission
ers the county has ever had, it will now
remaiu for the people of that end to decide
whether they would rather do without a
representative in the Board, and elect the
Ring candidate, Mr. Reitz, or vote for Mr.
Durham, who they know to be an honest
man. If they vote for Reitz, they vote to
deprive the west side of any representative
in the Board of Commissioners, and what
is worso, elect the poorest, and most ineffi
cient candidate of the four. If the? vote
for Durham they vote to be represeLted in
the Board, as they are entitled to be, and
should be. Besides they know Mr. Dur
ham is the best qualified candidate in the
field.
Oun pugilistic neighbor of the Democrat
says that we lied, and that be is none of
the '"impersonal" chaps. That may be a
good way lor our neighbor to get out of a
bad scrape, but then it don't alter the case
any, as a number of persons heard him
aay that Hottenstein was a fool. We were
willing to grant him the privilege of think
ing about that as he pleased, however, and
believe that he was nearer correct then,
than he is now. As to the charge that we
are a liar, that is also an opinion of Jake's
which may have found expression in a lit
tle "palpitation of the heart" It we wish
ed to reply to our neighber properly and
truthfully too, we might adopt the phrase
of a journalist in Philadelphia lately, who
aid his coterupornry was a "red-headed
liar and mischief maker." But if we were
to accuse our neighbor in such a manner,
be could not be convinced of the truth, and
would probably deny it, aud say that he
was only an "impersonal" liar.
Autes of the Watsonlown .Record must
have a very treacherous memory, or be does
all his lying intentionally to deceive the
public Last week lie replies to our article
in reference to charges for advertising the
unseated land sales, as follows :
"In the first place our books show that
we charged R. M. Cummings. Eq., twen
ty dollars (or advertising land sales in Sep
tember. 1874. The advertisement was
charged to Mr. Cummings' INDIVIDUAL
ACCOUNT and not to the County of Nor
thumberland. Mr. Cummings paid us the
820 whiie sitting in the seat with bim in
the train oo the way to WilliameporU Mr.
Reitz granted us no order. We did XOT
have extras of the advertisement printed
to enclose in our paper. We were the first
to put the advertisement in type, and from
it we printed Mr. Cummings two huudred
oitras for other publishers and for posting
oo the various tracts of land. For this we
charged him 2 50. These are the facta in
the case. The "American" charged 850
aud we charged $, to say nothing of the
xtra trouble we had in revising proofs,
&c. So mucl. for "extorting." and so
much for the lies of Wilvert and Sober."
The above story, however, is spoiled by
R. M. Cummings, whose letter we copy
below :
MOXTANDON, Oct 23, 1873.
J. C. DcunAM, Erq.,
Sm : I paid for adverti
inr Commissioner's sales, to John J. Au
tcn"ia 1873. twenty dollars, and for adver
tising Commissioner's sales in 1874. fifty
dollars, and for slips to send other printers,
two dollars and fifty cents, making the
amount paid to John J. Auten for both
veara. aeventy-two dollars and fifty cents,
yearn, 3 R. M. CUMMINGS.
. Who is the liar now, John ? Is it R.
IL Cummings, or yourself? The truth of
Mr. c.'s statement, oo one will question.
We notice that D. S. Reitz has again put
bis name to a iper this time it purports
to he an affidavit to a question we asked
him in reference to waking a proposition
to pass Sober' bill. Will he state whether
he did not send a certain person to Mr.
Sober, who inquired. of the latter "how
tnocu'will you give to have your bill paid
in full?" and who added "of course it will
steal from us some of our thunder, but
then for a consideration that makes no dif
ference ; and whether that same person has
not lately repeated the same to Mr. Sober,
or whether he ever recalled his proposition
or not? '
When the Court House was being built
S. 1 Wolverton received S30, as attorney
for the county. Wouldn't that have been
a fat year for Sober ? If Mr. Wolverton
would have been sharp he could have lined
his pockets with fees that year. But tlen
he was more honest than sharp. Demo
.rruL Oar neighbor knows all about where
stealing can bo bad. No doubt be has
.been there. But could any one have "lin
'ed their pocket with fees," wlien the Court
House waa built, when there were so many
the Ring stealing. Wa would not be
urpriaed H some had even robbed Mr.
Wolverton of tua just lees. We know of
m boneet County Treasurer, who was rob
bed by oar neighbor forty, who was a
jVmocrnt at that.
Misrepresentations of the Demo
crat AND WATSONTOWN RECORD. It i
generally presumed that when men become
candidates for office they are public pro
perty, open to attjek by the papers of oppo
site parties, and their merits and demerits
dissected in every way. The Democratic
papers in this county do not confine them
selves to this rule but resort to libelling
private citizens who may be the friends of a
candidate against whom they cannot say a
harmful word, or point out a single act that
is disreputable or improper. This appears
lobe the case in the present campaign.
Never were papers conducted as unscru
piously as the two Democratic papers in
this county. When they failed to find any
thing against the Republican candidates,
and could not even invent any more lies
about them, they resorted to abuse, tna-
li(rn and libclin? private citizens who
""O c a
are not connected in any way, nor involved
in the present campaign. hen such a
course is pursued by editors, it is to be
sadly deplored, for it brings journalism into
disrepute. Never before have we witness
ed such a low and degrading course taken
by any editor of respectability, to force
favorites into office a course now pursued
by the two Democratic editors in this
county. Unprincipled and unscrupulous
misrepresentations of every character has
been resorted to against private citizens as
well as the candidates. Such unprincipled
conduct the sooner it is frowned down the
better for the whole community, for noons
is safe from vile attacks by such charac
ters, no matter what their standing may
be. The example set by these Democratic
editors in this county during the present
campaign in of a degrading character, and
if encouraged, must have a bad effect upon
any community, morally and politically.
One of their subject of calumny and sland
er is W. A. Sober, Esq., a private citizen
of this place who has deemed it advisable
not even to reply to the foul slanders heap
ed upon him by these traducers. Their
misrepresentations are most astonishing to
any one acquainted with the facts. He
has been picked out among others because
his professional advice, ai)d counsel to the
county Commissioners has revealed some
of the most glariug frauds upon the tax
payers hy Democratic officials, and lias
been the means of breaking up, toacertain
exteut, a Ring that has cost the lax-payers
thousande of dollars. In order to restore
the Ring again into power, they have
taken Mr. Sober as a target, and every one
who has any compunctions of conscience,
will blush to see euch unmitigated false
hoods coining from men who should have
nt. Wat some regard for respectability. As
there may be some who are not acquainted
with the facts of Mr. Sober's position while
counsellor to the County Commissioners,
we give a brief statemeut which is on re
cord and can be seen by examining the re
cords in the Commissioner's office.
The facts in regard to Mr. Sober's con
nection with the Board of Commissioners,
as their attorney, is a matter worthy of
credit, and not a matter for condemnation
During the two years he occupied that po
sition, matters were more closely investiga
ted in that office than ever before, and the
result is, that thousands of dollars were
saved the county. The remuneration he
received for his services were comparative
ly sti.all when compared with that of pre
vious solicitors for the county. While bis
predecessors were not required, perhaps.
to render similar services, they undoubteu
ly charged equally as much, if not more
than Mr. Sober, in proportion to the ser
vices rendered. -During Mr. Sober' in
cumbencv a number of cases involving
thousands of dollars occurred, which by
his advice and counsel, he saved the coun
tv. We will enumerate a few, viz : the
Bacher, Cake and Lcoker road cases. The
first of these, Mr. Bacher's, was tried by
Sober' predecessor, and damages against
the county a warded, amounting to$4,293 3S.
The Lenker case amounting to 1,500 was
taken up to the Supreme Court, and ar
gued by Mr. Sober, and was gained for the
county. This case decided both the liach
er and Cake cases in the Supreme Court
The Cake claim being $ 10,200 50 making
altogether $15,0)0 8a The next service
bv Mr. Sober was the Northumberland
Ban'c case. That institution having refus
ed to pay State taxes, which the county is
by law the collecting agent for the State
treasury. The amount saved in this trial
was $1,000 00, and there being two other
similar cases of the Milton Banks, which af
ter he gained the first case, came forward
and paid theirs without trial which
amounted to about 3.000 more. He also
saved the county the amount of 2,300 in
costs on Sheriti Heller's bill By his close
attention to the business of the county he
discovered that charges had been made by
previous Sheriffs, which the couuty paid.
hut was not entitled to pay, and it was
stricken from Sheriff Heller's hill, thus es
tablishing a precedent for the future, which
will save the county annually thousands
dollars. Had the same coUa been allowed
to the present Sheriff that had been given
to Sheriffs in the past, his costs would have
reached at least $5,000 more, but through
Sober' counsel he does not receive it, nor
will any future Sheriff. Then came the
police case in which were involved about
510,000, which was taken up to the Su
preme Court In this case it required the
best counsel. Mr. Sober prepared the pa
per book, which was the largest that has
been printed in this county, and which oc
cupied weeks of his time, and then ably
argued the case before the Supreme Court.
For all this service awl hi expenses to
attend the Supreme Court, ho received but
2225, while the attorneys employed against
him received 82.400. The next was the
Teiffer case, of which nearly every one is
famihar.involving a claim of about 1,000.
In this case M r. Sober prepared a large
paper book, and argued the case before the
Supreme Court. It addition to these
cases, he secured for the county, judgment
against the former treasurer to the amount
of f 6,898 70 ; the collection of arrearages
of delinquent tax collectors to the amount
of 5,642 24 ; tlie detection of short ac
count on duplicates amounting to $1,500,
which altogether amounts to about 32,
000 which was saved by Mr, Sober's pro
fessional services. The Democrat says lie
was paid 21,500, If so Mr. Sober's fees were
about 5 per cent including his expenses,
and if he were to receive the 1,730 which
the same papers says he is to be paid, his
percentage would probably reach 10 per
cent for his services.
Now there never was a single lawyer
employed by the County Commissioners
whose fee did not exceed, by far,the above
percentage taking into consideration the
amount of services rendered. We do not
even except the present county attorney.
By referring back to auditor's reports, we
notice that attorneys employed by the
Commissioners invariably charged no less
than 20 per cent, and in one instance
where a few cases were taken up to the
Supreme Court,and not a single one gained,
a still higher per centage was allowed. -
The Democrat say that Mr. Sober, re
ceived $1,550 for his services in 1874,which
is a gtc misrepresentation, for he receiv
ed only that UDQOBt &T bis services in two
vears 1873 and 1874. Wo don't believe
that there is a single Democratic Ring
lawyer in the county who would peform
the same amount of labor that Mr. Sober
has performed for the amount of $775, and
if there is. he, no doubt, belongs to that
class which,wheu an important case is pend
ing, he will be obliged to have several other
lawyers to assist him, aod who would
claim extra pay from the county. Let the
voters of the county look back and they
will be reminded that case of an ordinary
character could not even be tried without
the aid of an assistant or two to the county
solicitor. But we do not find this the case
while Mr. Sober was employed by the Re
publican County Commissioners. For
this valuable service to the county, the
Democratic editors have assailed him as a
private citizen, and are trying to injure
him ter8onaIIy to effect their end in elect
ing to office a few men who belong to their
Ring, and who arc wholly unfit for the
offices ,and will, if elected, prove an expen
sive experiment to the tax-payers.
That Agreement. The Democrat for
several weeks past has the following stand
ing in its columns for political effect :
"Stolen. Stolen from the Commission
er'B office last fall, or just previous to Jan
n.trv 1st. l7o. an agreement wun certain
parties which allowed them to speculate
upon the lands of the people. Does Peter
Gray know where it is ? If not, do his
former clerks. Messrs. Vastine and Dur
ham ? Would it not be well tor tno pre
sent Board to offer a reward for its rccov

Whoever penned the above knew it to
be a lie, and knew that the agreement re
ferred to was in the Commissioner's office,
at the time. The following is a verbatim,
certified copy :

R. M. Cummings,
Attest, Jacob Hunsecker,
P. W. Gray, Clk Amos Vastine,
J. G. Durham,
Commissioners.
Every one who will read the above
agreement, must confess that it is a busi
ness-like transaction. Mr. Cummings
spent conulcrobL Uhw w ssmmoU of nwuli
of these lands and was at an expense for
traveling from one couuty to the other in
which the lands were located. . It is not
presumed that he would do all this work
gratis. Let every one read the agreement
and then place himself in the same situa
tion and see whether be would like to spend
a year or two in search, to benefit his
neighbor, and pay his own expenses and
not receive anything for it By paying
Mr. Cummings a sum which would scarce
pay a mechanic, he put into the County
treasury for the benefit of the tax-payers
the sum of 314,833 57.
The leaders of the Democratic Ring in
this Dlace done their beet to rally their
-
forces during the past week. But then
they wouldn't, and did not amount to
corporal's guard. A number of meetings
were to be held throughout the couuty.hut
as no audience could be rallied, mauy of
them proved a fizzle. The people through
out the couuty have informed themselves
much better thau in times past.and under
stand the situation better than many of
their speakers, sent out to iustruct them
how to vote. Every Democrat in the
county knows that one of the cardinal prin
ciples of that party was the resumption of
enecle navment. and that they were the
hard money party. The Erie platform be
ing directly opposite to all their former
platforms, any one can see that there is
deccDtion somewhere. At their last Na-
tioual Convention, at Baltimore, in 1872,
they incorporated into their platform the
following resolution:
"llaalceJL That a speedy return to sue
cie payments is demanded alike by the
bi"hest consiaeration or commercial mor
ality and honest government"
At the Erie convention an inflation
plank was inserted in their platform,
which is just the opposite. Now are the
adherents of the old Jackson Democracy
going to abandon their principles of a bard
money circulation, aud vote to sustain the
modern Democracy, of paper money and
inflaioDV
EituiioLTZ savs "the American never
lies," then in another part of his paper he
says "that Wilvert lies." Any one who
reads the Democrat, must naturally con
clude that its editor is troubled with "pal
pitation of the heart." and that strong
stimulants have had its eflect towards a
radical cure, in some direction, for who
ever knew that the- Democrat or its editor
ever wet consistent or told a political
truth ?
The Waisontowu Record publishes i
form of a petition in which is quoted a por
tion of D. S. Rietz'scard, then says "your
petitions deem it a monstrous outrage to
allow the property qf the county to be thus
manipulated and made a matter of private
peculation." That is a hard bit at Mr,
Reitz, aud we would advise the Grand
Jury at the coming November session to
lake ome action in looking after V. o.
Reitz, County Commissioner, who has
some land located In Cameron and Upper
Mahanoy townships, in his possession
which were bought at Commissioner' sale
and which ha refuse to give bock, and in
tends to force those living upon and im
prove it, to leave without compensation
for the improvements.
Mr. Cummings and the Unseated
Land Sales. A great cfort has been
made by the Democratic papers in this
county to create a political tensalion in re
gard to the sale of the unseated lands.
We have given previously a fair and true
statement which is corroborated br the
following letter from R. 3!. Cummings Esq,
a Democrat, to the Comuissioners of this
county:
To theCommimlontt-'s of Northum
berland Ouuty.
As requested by you herewith send voa
a statement of my accoict wth the County
Commissioners for unsctted lands soil by
them in 1874, as stipulrled in a contract
entered into March 3d, J873, between my
self and Jacob Hunsecbr, Amos A aitine
and J. G. Durham, thei Commissioners ot
said county. Also, a siitement of all tales
made by the Commissicjers of said cointy
of land purchased by tram previous Utile
closing of said contract
There were three pubic sales ot unsited
lands by the Commissioers of said cointy
previous to 1873, to wit One in 1831, one
in 184S, and one in 186 By the sale of
1831 ninety-three tracts embracing 2C444
acree were sold for 023.80, of wich
amount $007.50, only Ifleen per cent of
the amount for which he lands were told
was paid into the treaairy, as appean by
the Commissioner's sal books of that tar.
In 1848 forty-one tract containing out
9.800 acres were sold fo $530.30, of wich
178.39. or 33 i per cent was paid iutithe
County Treasury. In bth these the jtal
expenses of sale are included in theamunt
paid to the Treasurer. VI this salejue
half of these 41 tracts sok for $1.00 ecb,
and some for less, only I tracts broght
more than $5 each. See Commissiors'
sale books and Auditors' Report for pat
year,
AIN'T it strange that Mr. D. S. Reitz
should now complain of Mr. Sober's bills
after having approved of them, and signed
all the orders for their pay. Every order
on file for bills presented by Mr. Sober con
tain Reitz' signature. If he did not be
lieve them correct, why did he not object
as any honest man would, aud if he had
been overruled by the other Commission
ers, he had still another remedy by bringing
it before the Board of Auditors. Does he
pretend to say that he acted honeBtly for
the county, by Eigning to the orders if he
believed the bills too high. If so, is he not
lying now? He contradicts himself, and
is telling a falsehood either one way or ibe
other. Are such men fit to be the servants
of the people, who sign their names to
papers, and permit the money to be paid
out of the county treasury, when they be
lieve that the amounts are incorrect, and
that the tax-pavers are hein-r rnhhpil?
What a beautiful public officer he must be,
and if the hills were all correct aud Mr.
Reitz pefornied his duty by signing the
orders, why should he now complain,
at this late date, that the bills were not
correct.
The farmers, and others in the county,
are, no doubt, surprised when they attend
Democratic meetings announced bv the
Ring iu different parts of the county, at
the kind of speakers that are supplied. The
fact is that uo honest Democrat can bo in
duced to take the stump in favor of the
principles advocated by the Democratic
Ring at Sunbury, and hence such speakers

ds evening, aud after Sherwood spoke bis
peie, the meeting was turned into a raf

that belief upon the public generally, and
particularly upon the credulous and good
natured senility of the chairman othe
Democratic state committee. The atten
tion of the legislature has been repeatedly
called by the government and by the finan
cial officers of the state to this defect in our
revenue system, and last winter a bill was
introduced iu the house of representatives
to remedy this evil by diverting a half
million dollars of the sinking fund to the
general revenue. It was defeated by the
solid Democratic vote, you and your
colleagues voting against it, at the sacri
fice of many of our most meritorious public
charities.
You further charge, in effect, that from
1864 to 1874 the state treasury have re
ceived credit for the payment of $1,123,
301 on account of interest upon the public
debt more than was actually due or paid
theretore. This charge is untrue. Here
with is submited a statement from the
books of the treasury, showing the amount
ofmouey applied for that purposo during
the period mentioned :

Dear Sir. : When about sis month old I was vaccin

virus died from the humor. The humor spread over
me to such an extent that I was rolled in bran to pre
vent me from scratching my person. The disease final
ly settled in my head. I remained in this condition
about twenty years, troubled aU the time with sores
breaking in my head and discharging corruption from
my ear. At this time a sa aU kernel apneared on mv
neck, gradually increasing in sis until a 'tumor formed
of sncn immense size I conld see it by turning my eyes
dowdward. AU this time I waa taking various remedies
for my blood without any substancial beneht.
I then went to a prominent pbvsician in Boston who,
during his treatment of six months, lanced the tumor
eight times, which cost me nearly This left me
with a rough, aggravated sore, without at aU diminish
ing the size of tne tumor, and in a sicklv, feebly condi
tion. I consulted another nhvm.
after considerable time, succeeded iu healing the sore
wituont reducing the size. At this point I commenced
to use Veoetke, throuh the earnest persuasion of a

Jilt. IiucKALEW is anions: the first to
repudiate the Erie platform, which he and
his friends cot up bctweeu them. Iu his
speech at liloomsburjj, on Saturday night
last, he fell back upon the Democratic na
tional platform of 1S72, and declared that
it, rather than the Erie platform, contains
sound Democratic doctrine. He said that
the Democracy had "always been a hard
money party, devoted to a constitutional
coin currency as the standard of values, re
garding depreciated, inconvertible paper
money in time of peace as both injurious
and disgraceful." He .was not honest
enough to say this lefore the Ohio election;
but, now that the experiment of helping
the Ohio Democrats by endorsing their
platform has failed, he doffs the Erie coat,
and impudently claims that the Ej'ic plat
form amounts to nothing ? Put not your
faith in the chamcleon-hued Democracy.
It sings as many different airs as a mocking-bird
can whistle, and is always keen to
imitate the last one it hears. In 1S72 the
Democratic song was "anythiug to beat
Grant." In 1873 it is "anything to win."
Intlation in unpopular in Columbia county
hence Buckalew goes back upon it.
It is a peculiarity of this cainpagin that
Governor IlartranfVs personal character
and political record have not been assailed
by the opposition ; and for the reason that
even his enraies know him to be an upright
man and a thoroughly competent pub
lic officer. The strongest argument in
favor of bis re-election is that the most
virulent partnership has not been able to
dicovcr any weak place in his armor. He
stands before the people with his integrity
and ability unchallenged, and with such a
claim to popular suffrage as has rarely been
prcsnted byany candidate for the Executive
chair of the Slate. Philadelphia Bulletin.
The Democratic leaders go for free trade,
aod the masses blandly accept the idea
without giving due consideration to the
immense importance of the subject as con
cerning themselves. ' Free trade means low
UKiges, and Jow wages means privatior,' if
not absolute misery.
