Republicans give Alphonsus
Walsh your vote. He is a fine fel

The politicians are favored with

Vote for William J. Lawrence for
Sheriff and you will be helping to
elect a young and poor man who is
conspicuously fitted lor the position.
Mr. Itz has been Sheriff of Sulli
van county and is a rich man and
does not need the fees of the office
for a livelihood. Vote for the poor
man every time. It may be you
next.
Mr. Wm. Mcylert of LaPorte
must be acknowledge by all to be

party of Sullivan county. Mr
Mcylert will vote for Wni. Lawrence,
for Sheriff.
Reports received from different
points throughout the county show
that Will Lawrence is steadily grow
ing in favor with the jjeople and
that he will be heartily supported
on election day. This is as it
should be.
A noted politician of Rernice and
one of LaPorte, were out election
eering for Mr. Utz on Sunday.
Siich work 011 Sunday is not ap
preciated by a goodly number of
our people and iu consequence
they will holt the ticket on election
day.
Week before last the Gazette ar
gued that William Lawrence could
not do as much for the "poor man"
in the ollice of Sheriff as LTtz lie
cause of his want of means. Last
week it argued that Lawrence was
rich and not worthy of support on
that account. Has Streby got the
•ricketts,'' or have they two hands at
the Gazette, bellows.
The Gaze'te has made false state
ments in lact in reference to the
character of the editor of this
paper in the vilest language known
to professional blackguards. The
purpose of this attack is to get into I
a personal controversy with us to
draw attention from the fact that
John Utz is an unfit man for the
office of Sheriff". We shall not fail
in this trap. The candidate against
Ftz is WILIJAM LAWRENCE. L«;t
the Gazette fire its shots at him, for
they will fall harmless. He is a
pure true and honest man and stands
head and shoulders above Utz in in
tellent and intelligence.
The early settlers of Sullivan
county, endured many hardships to
build up and establish the county.
It is right and proper that their de
scendants should occasionally be
recognized in county offices. The
grandfather of our candidate for
Sheriff, whose name was also WILL
IAM LAWRENCE, was one of the
pioneers in the wilderness. He
cleared up a farm and was one of
the first Commissioners of the coun
ty. Our candidate for Sheriff was
born in Sullivan county, and lias
never heretofore asked for any of lice.
He is of the people and for the
people and the good sense of the
people will sustain him.
Democratß when you bolt Mr.
Utz you do not boit a Democrat.
He got his nomination unfair. He was
not the choice of the Convention.
He has been a chronic kicker in the
Democratic ranks and the leaders of
the party consider liitn so and will
not. take part in helping to secure
his election. Can you consis
tantly vote for such a candidate.
Will you allow your "sand" to fade
at this critical moment. John Utz
defeated Michael McDona'd, Ilus
sel Karns and John Yonkin. Are
you in return willing to hand him
the reins and let him govern the
Democratic party of Sullivan county,
is he a fit man for the position ?
The three men of LaPorte who
published a card in the Gazette last
wei Kin defence of A. Logan (Jrim,
did not show very good taste in
selecting their organ for publishing
the same. The Gaz>ttt is the Utz
organ and Grim's favorite, hence it
appeared in the Gazette. Either of
the other papers would have pub
lished the card had they been re
quested to do so. In our judgment
the Jleriew should have been the
preference. The card appearing in
the Gazette clearly proves to the
people that (Jrim is fighting the
Prohibition battle anxious to cause
a feeling in the Piohibition party in
favor of Mr. Utz assisted, we are
sorry to say, I>y one or two of our
town people.
J. W. Mansfield ail old time* IHino-,
crat of Lopez, previous to delegate j
election, received a letter trom •
Mr. Utz containing money.
The letter requested Mr. Mansfield
to do all in his power to elect his
(Utz's) delegates. Mr. Mansfield
refused to accept the money and
handed it over to an associate.
To-day Mr. Mansfield says he will
' not support any man who can t> t
get the nomination of his own party
| without the use of money. He says
if his character and veracity is not
sufficient for him to gain the dele
gates he is not a fit man to repre
sent the people of the county. This
is a very important question to he
considered. Shall the rich man be
; King. This use of money is what
defeated F. M. Crossley in the Con
vention and if tolerated will have
the same effect upon every poor
man who comes before the Conven
tion. Voters, vote it out of exis
tence.
Hundreds of Democrats all over
the county refuse to support I tz
for Sherilf, because he is a wealthy
man and has had the ollice once.
They condemn him also because he
is head of a corrupt ring in the
Democratic party. Will Lawrence
is a poor man a honest man and well
qualified to do the business, has
never naught ollice before and is the
people's choice for Sheiiil—(.Jive a
poor man your ballot—Do not
thrust riches upon riches but vote
for a man that is obliged to work
for his daily bread like yourseii.
Utz is a retired gentleman with kits
of cash by his side. Kxaniiue the
recording books in the Prothouo
tary's ollice if you doubt our asser
tion and see the thousands of dol
lars entered up against poor men of
the county in his favor. If none
but rich men can be elected to coun
ty offices when will your chance
come. Consider this geutleineti and
we feel sure that you will give the
poor man your support, on the sth
of November.
This is no accounting for tastes.
Here is what three good citizens of
Laporte l>or<>, *-\v in a card t<> the
Prohibitionists of Sullivan county:
"We selected Mr. Grim and employ
ed him for this work because we be
lieved lie was a true man and well
qualified; expected and offered to
pay him as we would any other pel
soil who would work for us.''
They might have added that Grim
was paid money for making speeches
in favor of the Prohibition Amend
ment last Spring, and immediately
after the election went off on a "big
drunk." They might have added
that Mr. Grim went straight from a
consultation with .lohn I tz into the
Prohibition meeting and took a
leading part in favor of the nomina
tion of a Prohibition candidate for
Sheriff. As it is now proven that
Mr. Grim was selected and employed
for him to assist in getting up the
Convention,it is a fair inference that
he was working for pay in the Con
vention. If it was not John Lt/.'s
money that paid his bills, whose was
it?
Among the busiest little towns in
Northern Pennsylvania eonspicously
appears the city of Lopez, Sullivan
county, with a population of from <>
to 8 hundred. This town is filled
with manufacturing industries. In
the centre of this attraction is lo
eated Deegan <t l-'arrell's Hotel
which is a line three story building
and will accommodate one hundred
people. A full house there is quite
common and the receipts for one
day often aggregate one hundred and
fifty dollars. Messrs. Deegan and
Farrell have within a recent date
gone to considerable expense of
bringing pure spring water from off
the mountain by pipe line, a dis
tance of one-forth mile which not
only furnishes the Hotel with water
but a large per centage of the resi
dence of Lopez. These gentlemen
are now erecting a large town Hall
close by the Hotel stand which will
be when completed one of the finest
in the county. The lower floor will
be occupied by John P. Kennedy
formelv of La Porte for a billard
hall and a barber shop. The Hall
or second floor will be used for
dancing, theatres Ac., which will be
greatn ;ippreciated by the people of
Lopez.
At the election next month the !
people of Sullivan county will have j
an opportunity of v i'oi t» j
or a rich man for the ollice of Sheriff.
Mr. Lawrence the poor man and Mr.
I' tz conceded to be one of the wealth
iest men in Sullivan county. Mr.
Utz was not the choice of the Demo
cratic party. Mr. Lawrence was
placed before the people in a square
and proper way, no chicanery or
bribery WHS used to nominate him.
For whoir. will you vote?
Where Utz is best known he will
be cut the worst. For proof of tins
assertion we only need to call the
attention of the voter to the l>ele.
gate election when he only received
seven majority in his own Boro..
over a candidate ten miles dis
tance. His neighbors with the ex
ception of Scouten, say he is not
the person for Ihe ollice. Owing to
dissipation. We have this from
tax-payers of Dushore boro, and if
you doubt us, we insist upon your
writing to some disinterested party
residing in said boro, ancl obtain the
desired proof of our assertion. A
thirty dollar whiskey bill is a good
deal to pay for whiskey
consumed in one month. Such con
duct would cause dissipation to any
man and in time would render him
unserviceable to public administra
tion. Header whether you be a
temperance man or a drinking man
_\ou desire that when you place
legal documents in the hands of a
county official that the papers have
due consideration and that they be
properly looked after. His friends
may call your attention to his term
of IK7", tiiis is all right, but ten
years of continual dissipation has
caused ;t big ckange to overcome
John Utz.
The charges which the Gazette
makes against our candidate for
Sherill in its issue last week are about
as follows:
William Lawrence is a member of
the firm of Lawrence Bros. The
firm have established a furniture
store in Dushore. Therefore they
must be rich. Again the firm of
Lawrence Bros, are contractors and
builders and employ ' !- men
Therefore they must be rich. Again
Lawrence Bros, have built, two
dwolling houses in Dushore for their
families to live in. Therefore they
must be rich. It is not our purpose
to depreciate the circumstances- of
! awrenee Bros. As we have said
heretofore they arc young active
business men and arc putting forth
their full strength in business en
terprises. They are the kind of
men who do the people good. The
profits from the ollice of Sherilf will
do them good. Should William
Lawrence be defeated because lie is
in business? Should he be defeated
because he has built a house in Du
shore to live in ? We do not know
that there is any reason why a man
who lias built a dwelling house in
Dushore should be condemned.
Should Lawrence bo defeated be
cause he employs men to work with
him in his business as a builder?
Yet such are frivolous objections
made against him by the Gazette.
It says:"This does not look as if the
voters of Sullivan county ought to
vote for Mr. Lawrence on account
of his poverty." No one has advo
cated his election on the ground of
poverty. The Gazette shirks the
point of contention. We have said
that William Lawrence has no
money to spend to cary the election.
This is true; and further he is not
the kind of a man to corrupt voters
with money if he had it.
We have said that his competitor
is a rich man, and the Assesssment
books in the Commissioners ollice
prove it. lie has thousands of
dollars drawing interest. He does
110 work; lie shaves notes, and
speculates.
He can command ready money in
large amounts any day. That he is
using it freely to assist in his elec
tion is not denied. That the lovers
of boodle are training in his ranks
is certain. All who are acquainted
with both candidates must admit
•hat Lawrence is morally and in
tellectually so far above Utz that
they cannot be compared together.
We shall be amazed it the good
people of Sullivan county do not rally
to the sunnort of 1 ivvk- find
elect him by a rousing majority.
