Judge Wet more and Associates
Kerr and Reck held argument court
on Monday and part of yesterday. No
business of general importance was
transacted.
Our little friend, "Monk" Davis,
presented us with some of the finest
apples of the season. There were three
of them, the largest weighing 18 ounces,
the next 17 and the smallest 16.
Considerable snow, slush and mud
during the past week. A strong re
minder that old winter will spon be
around to claim us as his victims.
Also that it's time to lay in that stock
of coal, &c.
There is a rule in vogue in Elk
county which should be adopted in all
section!. It is a good one and reads
ike this : "Resolved, That we believe
uo stories about our candidates circu-
ated within two weeks of the election."
Mr. Frank Taylor, chief editor of
the Derrick, stopped in town a few
hours yesterday, and paid us a very
pleasant visit. The Derricks list is on
the increase in this place, it being be
tween thirty and forty now, which, for
the number of inhabitants is extra
arge.
Messrs. lloleman A Hopkins have
commenced work on their new store
building by moving the efficesofMr.
Davis and the one occupied by them
temporarily, over next to Mr. Tate's.
The building will be rushed thtough
forthwith, and will be an ornament to
the town when completed. '
Mr. Jno. Hardcastle was up from
Franklin last week. He has the
agency for an improved rubber post
office stamp, and sold our postmaster
seven dollars worth with the under
stauding that if Garfield was not elect
ed they should not cost him a cent.
Mr. II. is no slouch on making a bar
gain, andjknows he'll get pay for the
stamgs under these conditions as sure
as tbe second day of November comes
around.'
WEIfiSMY EMM
Messrs. F. M. Reck and Wm
Has.elbnck have their new mill near
Black's Corners about readjr to steam
up. They expect U cut 1,500,000
feet of lumber before spring. They
are both hard workers and will make
things snap when once rightly under
motion. Success, boys.
: Republicans, we warn you to be
on the alert from this on. You wil
doubtless hear slanders and falsehood
about onr candidates betweeu this and
election, yet you should pay no atten
tion to them, as such tricks are fre
quently resorted to on the eve of
election when the candidates have uo
opportunity to refute them.
Derickson A Co.'s sUye mill at
Hunter's Station started up yesterday
after two or three months ef a shut
down on account of insufficient water.
They .have about 350 corda of bolts on
band which will keep Mr. Adams
pushing until late in the fall. P. S.
Since this was in type we learn that
the water was yet insufficient, and the
mill will lay idle yet awhile.
We understand that Kepler in
tends issuing two numbers of the Dent
ocrat betweeu this and election, for tbe
purpose of exploding some terrible and
appalling falsehoods. We wish to
warn our friends of all parties against
crediting any of the vile slanders or
wild rumors that may appear in that
sheet. There is no telling what this
man may resort to to gaiu his ends,
and it is well for tho voters of Forest
county to be on their guard.
Republicans, this is the last chance
we have before election, and we want
to urgo you to take care of the ticket.
Use your best endeavors to secure a
fair, honest election in every precinct,
and work for the success of the EN
TIRE TICKET. We have one of the
best tickets in the field this year that
has ever been before the people of
Forest county and we are going to
elect it triumphantly, and every good
Republican, is going to help do it.
Hurrah for the ticket r'from top to
bottom.
The Democrat save inasmuch as
Gen. White was first elected to the
Senate- in 1862, and that Forest coun
ty was erected in 1848, he had nothing
to do with the framing f the bill that
made Forekt a county, &c.,&c. What
is now known as "Old Forest," was
composed of Howe, Jeuks, Millstone
and Baruett townships, and was prob
ably erected in 1848. But when the
county was remodeled, and the town
ships of Kiugsley, Hickory, Harmony,
Sreen, Tionesta aud Tionesta Boro,
added Gen. White's hand framed the
bill that did the business. The Dem
ocrat U getting a Ihtle too smart for
its years.

day of last week, had the great mis
fortune to lose a portion of his right
:iaud by the accidental discharge of
bis gun. lie was using a double-barreled
muzzle loader, and was loading
one. barrel when the other was dis
charged, the charge passing through
the palm of Mr. Ewald's hand. Tbe
two first fingers and part of the palm
were amputated, and the third finger
will be Btiilened, eu that all he will
have left of any account will be the
thumb and little finger. The accident
is a most deplorable and serious one to
Mr. Ewald, as it will disable him from
ever working at his trade.

Consistency, thou art a Jewel.
In conducting a newspaper we do
not propose to write sensational arti
cles without foundation in fact, neith
er to pander to depraved appetites,
Dor assail the private character of office
seekeis, knowing that newspapers that
seek prominence in this manner are
olien8ive to all reputable citizens, and
their standing worse soiled than the
bftn from which they emanate. Com
monwealih.
And right along side the above we
find in the Commonwealth an article
as sensational and false, so far as our
candidate for Treasurer, Mr. Foreman,
is concerned, as it is possible to get.
True, the article does not say in so
many words that Mr. Foreman is im
plicated, but it is calculated to leave
that impression on the minds of the
people. Now, so far as Mr. Foreman
is concerned, we have his word and
honor that he has nevnr solicited Kep
ler's support ; that Kepler has never
ofiored it; that he never had any con
versation with him on the subject, and
that if elected he will give bis person
al attention to the duties of the office,
aud be run by no man. This settles
that matter most effectually in the
minds of all of Mr. Foreman's friends
and acquaintances. Whatever Kepler
may be blowing around over the coun
ty ie of no consequence to the decent
people, aud none have been more sen-
Bible of this fact and displayed greater
disgust than the Greenbackers ; and
we had reason to hope that the Com
monwealth would hold itself aloof from
giving publicity to any of the slush
emanating from that source. In the
compaign which is now very near its
close, we have endeavored to stear
clear of and exclude from our paper
all personalities, slanders and stories
calculated lo injure the prospects of
opposing candidates ; how well we
have succeeded we are willing to leave
to an impartial public. Had we chos
en to publish every rumor which has
been floating around we would have
had room for nothing else, and would
doubtless have succeeded ia thorough
ly disgusting our readers. This is not
our stock in trade, and we will not re
sort to it in order to bolster up our
candidates. The Commonwealth' 9 mo
tive in publishiug tbe wild story about
"Shylock Kepler" may not have been
to injure Mr. Foreman, but it looks
very much like it, and if it wasn't it
showed a most lamentable lack of
foresight, and we hope tbe paper will
have the honor te come out square and
make honorable amends. And now,
we wish to say to the voters, it is your
duty and privilege to vote as you
please, but you should pay ; no atten
tion to the idle and malicious stories
that are always afloat during a cam
paign. The Greenbackers have Mr.
Proper as their candidate ; the Demo
crats hare Mr. Flynn, and the Rerib
icans have Mr. Foreman, and should,
and we are satisfied will vote for bim
to a man, regardless of tbe story set
afloat to injure him. He is a man
against whose private or public career
not one word can be truthfully utter
ed. . .
Republican Rally Last Night.
Last night, although the weather
was miserable, the Republicanns had
a rousing meeting at the court bouse
n this place.. Gen. Harry Allen, "of
Warren, and Dr. S. S. Towler, of
Marienville, were tbe speakers. We
have but time aud space to say that
the meeting was the pleasantest and
one of tbe most enthusiastic that has
been held in town during the cam
paign. lion. IN. 1'. Wheeler was made
President and S. D. Irwin, Esq., Vice
resident ; Secretaries, C. A. Randall
and J. E. Wenk. Gen. Allen was the
fint speaker, and delivered one of the
solidest speeches of the campaign,
reviewing the situation from an early
period to the present day and proving
conclusively that the party which had
brought the country through twenty
years so grandly, should be kept in
place as long as it did so well. Dr.
Towler touched briefly on some of the
points made by the first speaker, and
then came down to the. local , ticket.
lis first move was to riddle the Dem
ocratic meeting held here during court
week, and the way ho went through it
was a terror to the uaterrified. The
fusion meeting on Monday evening
ait came- iu for its share of ridicule.
Tom. St. Clair's infamous slanders
against Gen. White were met and
refuted most effectually. Dr. Towler
proved St. Clair's assertion a libelous
and most malicious. Tho cuu(
machine down at coffee-pot headquar
ters was handled without gloves by the
Doctor, and the way bis remarhs were
received and applauded showed con
clusively what the sentiment of the
people was, and showed that the course
of the editor was disgusting to all de
cent people. The Doctor, during his
entire address uttered not one word of
abuse against opposite candidates, and
closed his remarks in good style, leav
mg the large audience in the best o
mood. Tbo YouDgsville Brass Band
discoursed some very fine music dur
ing the evening. After three rousing
cheers for the whole Republican tick
et, the meeting adjourned to meet nt
tbe ballot box next Tuesday.
Democratic-Greenback Meeting.
The Democrats and Greenbackers
had a fusion meeting at tbe Court
House on Monday evening, upon which
occasion James Mosgrove and Dr,
Thos. St. Clair held forth. These dis
tinguisbed, and eoon-to-be extinguish
ed personages arrived on the 2:47 train
Monday, and were noon Burrounded by
their admiring Democratic and Green
back friends, and for some time it was
a question which would take charge of
the pair, but the Chairman of the
Democratio County Committee cap
tn rod tbe Congressional aspirant an
took him home to tea. At about eight
o clock the crowd gathered at the
court house, and the meeting was call
cd to order by Chairman Haslet, who
nominated J. H. Dingman, Green
backer, President, and R. D. Fisk
Democrat, Vice President; Secretaries
Hayden, D., Dil hridge, G., and James
G. The President then introduced
Mr. Mosgrove, who spoke for proba
bly twenty minutes. Ho spoke very
low aud it was impossible to bear
much of what ho said near the en
trance. The audience listened with
bated breath, thinking to catch one
word which might indicate that he
was a Greenbacker, but they didn't
hear it. His remarks were respectful,
yet he might as well have said nothing
so far as conviuciug any one what his
politics were. He spoke of tho bonds
which will soon fall due, but did not
say whether he would vote to pay
them at maturity or refund them at a
lower rate of interest. The tariff
question occupied most of his attention,
and of course, he was m favor of a pro
tective tariff. So is every honest man
If the. Greenbackers could draw any
lefinite conclusions or consolation
from his remarks they are certainly
very easily satisfied.' It was simply
impossible to discover whether he was
a Democrat or Greenbacker, and al
though he hay repeatedly said hi
would not vote 'for Garfield, we have
reason, after hearing his speech, to ser
iously doubt his word in that particu
lar. Of the other man, Tbos. St. Clair,
it is hatdly worth while to speak. His
remarks consisted simply of vile, ma
lignant, and slanderous abuse of tbe
private and public life of Gen. Harry
unite, even goiog so lar as to neap
violent abuse upon his dead brother
and bring his dead father into the
discussion. The meeting had not the
effect to make a single vote for Mos
grove, but on the contrary, several
who had intended supporting bim
went away thoroughly disgusted
and declared that while they might
not vote for Gen. White, they cer
tainly would not touch Mosgrove.
Barnett Township.
Clakinqton, Oct. 25, 1880.
We notice by the Democrat the De
mocracy of this place held a meeting
which was "one of the largest ever
beld in this place." Now, that may
sound very well to the denizens of
other sections, but we consider it one
of the largest "jokes" ever perpetrated
on an innocent and inoffending com
munity, and if the other meetings we
see chronicled in that sheet are any
thing like the one held here we pity
the dear people who are thus afflicted.
The fact of the matter is there were
barely enough of their own party pres
ent to fill the offices. Our good old
friend Wm. Shields was elected Presi
dent, but we hope he will not take of-
feuse at our mentioning the fact in
public. Peter Heasley was made sec
retary, but as Peter was unable to
wield tbe Faber, our worthy school
teacher, a staunch Republican, kindly
lent his assistance, and the "bawl"
went on. But I am getting somewhat
ahead of my story. The speakers ar
rived in the afternoon or evening aud
put up at our hotel. At the proper
hour they proceeded to the field of
action, tho school bouse. While pass
ing through-; .tlie hall or vestibule,
something dropped from one of the
speakers' pockets ; it busted, and the
"oil which wus doubtless intended to
be used to pour on tbe troubled waters,
ran out on the floor aud was wasted.
After entering and while divesting
themselves of their overcoats another
thump was heard on the floor, but this
time fortune favored the braves acd
the "oil" was saved. Of the speeches
it is needless to apeak, further than to
say that they had the eflect to convert
the president of the meeting, if we are
to judge from ihe fact that two even
ings afterward he attended a large
Republican meeting at Seigel, wearing
a cape and bearing a torch in tbe pro
cession. Thus ended one of the "larg
est (?) meetings ever held in this
place." A Spectator.
Local Politics.
In our hurry to get to press last
week we omitted, on account of not
having a complete report, to mention
the Republican meeting held at Fa
gundas last Friday evening a week.
Hon. W. M. Lindsay, of Warren, de
livered a very able and convincing ad
dress, and was frequently interrupted
by the outbursts of applause. Our
candidate for Assembly, E. L. Davis,
Esq., made some fair and Bquare re
marks, which were good and to the
'point. The sturdy Republicans of
Harmony, don't you forget it, ate up
and doing, and will take care of tbe
Btraigbt Republican ticket on Tues
day next.
Republican meetings were held in
different sections of the county during
last week, which we are pleased to
state were all largely attended and
very enthusiastic. At Gtiiion's school
house Dr. Towler and E. L. Davis,
Esq. spoke on Tuesday evening, to a
very respectable audience, and the
meeting was voted a success. The
same gentlemen spoke at Nebraska on
Thursday and were enthusiastically
received by a very good house. The
meeting at Stewart's Run, although
tho weather was very inclement, was
well attended and a most complete
success. Dr. S. S. Towler, Hon. J. B.
Agnew, and 8. D. Irwin, Esq., were
the upeakers on this occasion. All
made good addresses and were loudly
applauded. A good report may. be
expected from all these places for the
entire ticket, as the Republicans are
wide awake and putting forth their
best efforts. Keep up tbe good work,
friends.
The Republicans of Whig Hill
and vicinity had & rousing meeting in
the school house at that place on
Wednesday last. Mr. W. A. Duen
bury was elected President, and Messrs.
R. King and Ira Barnes Vice Presi
dents; Mr. Jonas Shunk, Secretary.
The house was crowded with eager lis
teners. The Garfield club was present,
and could be distinguished by their
campaign caps. Hon. J. B. Agnew
was the first speaker, who delivered an
able address. Next was Dr. Towler.
who followed with his correct logic,
and interesting and lively remarks,
keeping up a lively interest through
out. Hon. N. P. Wheeler also address
ed the meeting in a clear -and concise
manner. 8. D. Irwin, Esq., spoke a
short time, delivering one of bis inimi
table addresses which kept the house
in an uproar. Sheriff Randall closed
the meeting with a few very pithy re
marks which were well received. Our
candidate for Assembly, E. L. Davis,
was present, and was enthusiastically
received. The Republicans of that vi
cinity are active and enthusiastic, und
will send in a glorious report on the
3d of November.
