Republicans it if not too enr'y to J
commence making arrangements to ;
be in attendance at the polls on the 1
sth eif November. See that every
Republican in your precinct votes |
at this election.
The only Democratic political:
workers representing John I tz, are:
John (J. Scoutenand A.Logan Grim.
They are kept pretty busy, Ihe j
people are waiting anxiously to hear j
the result of their efforts.
John Scouten and A. L. Grim are]
doing what they can for the success j
of John Utz. Mr. Utz is not repre
sented by tin' leading Democrats of
the county. 'I hey say ho does not j
merit their support.
Stewart Chase of Lal'orte, _'X- 1
changed horses se\en times, oil
Thursday last, and 011 Friday, sold |
the reminenee, two in number, for a j
large sum. Stew still owns a match
team of grays. He may own a
dozen before to-morrow night.

Kennedy, John Boyd and B. S. |
Karns all of 1 al'orte, were guests of
Bloomsburg 011 Friday and Satur
day and took in the fair. Tlicy pro
nounce the trotting on Saturday
lightning.
Mr. I'tz has.led a rank political
career for the past ten years, and is
now beginning to taste the bitter j
parts of his misdeeds. The leading 1
Democratic politicians of the county!
are opposing him and they arc justi-j
lied in doing so as he is not. a true]
Democrat, and they say he is not j
entitled to their support.
S. F. Colt jr., of Philadelphia,
was in town the fore part of this
week wheu he shipped his house-hold
goods to the city. He and his fami
ly and his mother in-law Mrs. Finch,
left for Wysox on Tuesday where
they attended the wedding of his
sister Miss Hattie Colt on Wednes
day and retur.ied with his family to
'lie citv 011 Friday.
There ill be four parties in the
field in Sullivan county, in the 1800
campaign viz: The Republican,
Democrat, Labor and the Prohibi
tion. Most any person can be a
candidate next year.
The Republican Vigilance Com
mittee ip each precinct should look
after the 3tay-at-home-voters and see
that a full vote is polled at this elec
tion. Each committeeman should
take pride in doing something for
the principles which he represents
at the near approaching election.
The Dushore papers are pounding
one another. Newell claims that he
can't hit Streby on the lieiui because
he has none. Streby says, notwith
standing the head racket, that he has
a knife to grind and it, is in the
shape of a paper cutter p.ih' v. ill do
as good work as the one owned by
the Jitview. The controversy be
gan about a paper cutter.
The Gazette says."The Demo
cratic party of Sullivan county does
not come before the people in false
colors. It does not preach temper
nnce and peddle whiskey." Granted;
but the candidate for Sheriff who
stole tke Democratic nomination
from Crossley is begging for Pro
hibition votes and paying for whis
key.
Join. Utz and his two associates,
Ncouten and Grim are trembling in
their boots, they foresee the result
of two weeks from next Tuesday.
They are use ing every moans possible
to get the substantial leaders in
line for Mr. Utz, they •'veline how
ever, saying that Utz is not a Demo
era and they are under 110 obliga
tions to give him their political
strength and vote. .Mr. Utz is quite
put out about, the treatment he is
receiving at the linnets of ;'ie boys
but cannot consistently siiy that he
does lot merit it, brought-about by
his unprin:'iple actions for'the Demo
cratic party. He fought Vonkin, |
McDonald, Collins, Karns and
Meyers, all good Democrats and
• ere the nominees of the Demo-!
cratic conventions.
The election is only about two
weeks oIF, hut little intention is
given to it by the voters. Tins
apathy is caused largely by the fact j
that the voters have made up their 1
minds to suj port Lawrence. Ke it-1
accepted liy the people as t lie man ,
who is in every respect qualified fu) j
tin; otjice lo which t.lie people have j
nominated aiul will receive their ;
votes. He is a ninn of superior
ability, with a clear record and
stands is high a citizen. Such a ma::
the voters argue, should be support- [
ed, because in this aire of increasir.iz
intelligence the time has passed for
voting blindly for candidates who
have secured their nomination like
Mr. Utz, by the use of wliifficy and
money. Mr, Lawrence was the
choice of the people and is a fair
representation of the people and
this is why the people favor his
election.
The Gaz tte says:"lt is r. well
known fact that the Republicans in
Sullivan county have been running
whiskey and temperance campaigns
more or less for the last five years.''
This is one of those slur. l : 0:1 the
Republicans which the Ga
zette continually makes without any
regard lor truth Having already
compared them lo "dumb cattle,"
it seems to suppose they will truely
submit to wholesale lying. If
Streby had head enough above bis
ears to hold Xewell's plug hat on
lie would not call attention to whis
key campaigns a this stage of
the game. .John Utz may well cry
out save me from my friends. The
Democrats of Sullivan county do not
run whiskey campaigns; but how is
|it with Utz ? If Streby can't an
j swer let Grim take the floor. The
Gazette asserts that if Utz is elected
I Sheriff, he will do more for those in
I financial embarrassment than the
i Republican candidate is able to do
This is taunting Mr. Lawrence be
cause of his lack of wealth. Elect
Utz because he has money: Defeat
Lawrence because he has none.
What is the meaning of it? But
where is the evidence that John Utz
will help those in financial embar
rassment ? Give him good security
and a big fxinn*, and .John will help
you; but it is that kind of help wliieh
finally eats into the marrow of a
poor man's bones.
The new baptist church, at Eag
les Mere, is progressing nicely.
We have bem informed by two
or three different parties that John
Utr has about given up his election
to the office of Sheriff in > uvember
Tie says the people are going back
on him. Perhaps they were interes
ted in the welfare of the Democratic
party when lie fought the nominee!
to the sv.ords point and arc forceiiif
upon him that which he was s<
liberal to give, 'revenge.'
The sanguinary Streby in his las
i 'sue puts it thus :

Sprout vs Mu.is.
The decision of the Supreme Court
on Monday lasl finally and the equity
suit brought in 188.") against A. M
Mints by A. It. Sprout. The suit
arose over a lumber contract. Sprout
claimed that Mints had disobeyed
orders and Mints insisted that the
orders could not be obeyed and that
Sprout had not done his part toward
carrying out the contract The case
was refered to John 11. Cronin, Esq.
of Dushore, as Master and Examiner,
who, alter a thorough investigation
of the case, tiled an able opinion on
the law and facts, both ot which he
found to be in favor of the defen
dant, Mints ; and he recommended
that ti'.e bill be dismissed at the cos',
of the complainant. The case was
next heard before Judge Sittser on
exceptions to the Masters Report,
The Judge tiled a carefully written
opinion in which the exceptions wert
sustained and the injuetion made
permanent, the costs being placed
upon the defendant, the Judge find
ing both the law and the facts ii
favor of Mr. Sprout. The case next
went to the Supreme Court and was
argued last March. After taking
the whole summer to consider it.tin
Supreme Court, in an able opinioi
by Justice Williams, finds that tin
report of the Master was correc
both as to the law and the facts
reveises the decision of the Conimoi
Pier*.;-, dismisses the bill and put
the costs on Mr. Sprout. Mr. Cronii
no d übt feels repaid for his carefu
work as the Supreme Court adoptn
iiis opinion on the legal and eqiiit:i
ble questions involved, and it is higli
lv creditable that so young a lav.ye
should have laid down the true rule
of law and equitable principles aj
pltcablc to so complicated a case.
The Republican party is the3*oung
men's party. In all parts of the
United States it is attracting the
majority of the young and intelligent
, voters to its ranks. Vote for lioyer
t for State Treasurer.
The frantic squeals in last wecVs
Gazette over the action of the
Prohibitionists in refusing to pv.il
' Democratic Chestnuts out of the fire
were exceedingly refreshing. The
' whiskey soaked coterie which just
at present seems to be running the
Democratic councils, were in hopes
that the Temperance people would
■; nominate a candidate and thus boost
1! their man into oflice. Just why the
1' Temperance people should elect Uu
t; and beat, Lawrence is not very clear
112: to any one. l T tz is notoriously in
temperate and is the most a-dept
| and dangerous in this county in
handling whiskey and whiskey in
! terest at elections. Lawrence is a
| temperate, steady, hard woiking
, honest man. While not a Prohibi
tionists, he is a Temperance man,
| and he would be an honor and a
j credit to any party. We ask Streby
1 to state if he knows of a mere j iion
) orable sober, quiet, efll?ient intelli
gent and decent minded man in
sullivaii county than Will Lawrence?
llt was natural therefore that the
; friends of good government in the
[! Prohibition Convention, those who
favor a sober and impart ad officer
as Sheriff, united to vote down the
J scheme of the Utz clique. Why
, shouldn't they do so Mr. Streby?
j Honestly don't you think that a
j friend of sobriety would prefer a
sober man to an intemperate one ?
Of course every one knew that a
■ nomination for Sheriff by the Tem
perance Convention would help Utz
just that much. Grim and Scouten
(twin roses from a single stem) well
knew that "no nomination'' meant
injury to 1' v.. They evidently ex
; pect 110 temperance votes,
else why so fierce for a nomination?
As far as our own action is concern
jed we abide by it. if it is a sin to
i vote for a Temperance man we wili
;su fer accordingly. We think Mr. j
j Iluokell can also stand the attacks of 1
; the I t/ parly. Is thirty years of de
votion to the principles of T mpei
| anee, advocating it in the rostrum
land practicing it in private life, do
j not give Mr. Hu jkell the right to
1 tfcke part 111 a council of Temperance
men. it is high time that Mr.
j Grim, Mr. Scouten and Mr. Utz be
1 re: i .rtiizcd as leaders of Temperance
1 people. This attack of Grim and
'"tz upon Mr. lluckell is mereh
I diameless •llrontory. Mr. Huckell's '
Tcmperain e is of the sterling quality '
! and is not a hypocritial sham.
But we are giving altogether too j
l'. uch space to the GaztUe liowl,
j for every one knows that the action
lot' the Prohibitionist Convention
J has almost surely settled the Sheriff
j tight, and will result in giving Sulli-
I van county a sober, rel&ble and fair
j minded official. In the meantime
brother Streby you just keep 011
j squealing if it hurts.
Corner Stone Laying.
On Thursday the Corner Stone of
the Church of St. John in the wilder
ness was laid at Eagles Mere bv the
Dev. Samuel P. Kelly General
Diocesan Missionary in the presence
of a large number of persons. In
I the absence oft lie bishops and other
j Clergy the entire service was taken

| ing address showing why tin church

the people in simplicity of worship
1 and purity of Christian teaching in
permanence, equnlet}' and comfort-
Mr. C. La Rue Munson read a brief
history of the place and the church
