MARRlED. —Floagland 1? rack man,

ltev. P. R. Pittman will preach
a sermon on Odd Fellowship, in the
M. E. church at Forksville, on Sun
day Nov. nth. at 11 o'clock a. m.
All are cordially invited to attend.
Skating will be next on the pro
gramme. Our young people are
very anxious for the time to come
when they can enjoy a skate on the
Lake. La Porte can boast of the
finest skating park in the county.
C. M. Crandle, inventor of the

radish."
People of LaPorte arc talking
about the "bin font" Prohibitionists
of LaPorte who refused to support
Lawrence because he signed a petit
ion for license. The subject, of con
versation is that they voted for one
man on the ticket who had been on
license bonds and signed petitions.
is consistency. Such work
"Will unite a party in the future.
Last year at this time we were
rejoicing. To-day we are still
among the living. We are making
arrangements togo for bear like the
other "fellers" did last year, think
we shall shoulder our gun on Fri
day morning and return, well, some
time Saturday night immediately
after the shades of night have fallen.
The supporters ofUtz arejubilant,
hut what have they gained? Let
them pause and consider. So far as
the political future is concerned they
have gained nothing. This election
has been carried by money. If the
Democrats carry their candidates
next year the candidates must, sup
ply money. The boodlers always
craves more. The Democratic party
is weaker to-day than it was before
the election, for it is proven that
the lowest of kickers can be elected
if he has money.
The defeat of Wm. J. Lawrence
for Sheriff is a greater loss to the
people of Sullivan county than to
the candidate. It establishes a
precsdenfc that a poor man cannot
be elected in this county over a rich
one, no matter how meritorious his
cause or how honorable ltis charac
ter. Mr, Lawrence conducted a
clean handed campaign and comes
out of the contest better liked by
his friends and more respected by
his opponents than when nominated.
In the future we believe tlio people
of Sullivan county will sec that it
does not pay to elect unworthy men
because they simply have money
which they are willing to spend in
order to buy their election. Labor
ing men, poor limners and mechanics
might as well surrender the right of
suflerage if such is to L>e the case.
We believe the error will not be re
peated, at least let Republicans,
Labor Union and Independent
voters, resolve only to support true
men who are too honest to buy or to
sell tl'uir rights as American citi
zens. If the defeat of an honest
laboring man accomplishes this the
efforts of Mr. Lawrence ami his
friends will not be wasted.
Governor Beaver will command j
universal approval by the reappoint
ment as inspectors of the Eastern
Penitentiary of Kichnnl Vatix, C.
Stuart Piitterson and John M. Maris.
In the appointment the Governor
lias risen above the example of some
of his predecessors and made the
government and management ol the
Penitentiary the only deciding in
fluence in his choice. Ho has 1 •
fused to he governed by any con
siderations that one party or the
other should be'"represented - ' in the
control of siuch an institution and
continued at. their posts the men
who by their conduct of the Peni
tentiary have merited public confi
dence and served the public to the
general satisfaction of all. Tne
general applause which these reap
pointments are certain to receive
ought to suggest the wisdom of also
reappointing another of the inspect
ors whose terms has expired, Dr. J.
William White.

The vote in LaPorte boro and
township for Johnson the Prohi
bition candidate for State Treasurer,
is very flattering. The Prohibition
ists throughout the county can
tlmnk 1L A. Conklin for these good
returns. It was he, and only lie,
who introduced the cause ofProhibi
tion to the voters on election day.
Let the Republicans t ike heart.
We have fought an honest light, we
have stood on true grounds of prin
ciple, and while we have met with
present disaster we are on the sure
road to further success. Let us
resist the use of money in elec
tions; let us keep before the people
honest men; let us stand firmly for
protection to American industry,
and the majority of the people will
rally to our support. In a year or
two the boodlers will bleed each
other to death and leave the field
clear for honest men.

I Tiie Friends of Cronin.
CHICAGO, NOV. 3. —The friends"
of l>r. Crouin, >\ho are arranging
for a public gathering to aid its
prosecution fund, held a meeting
to-day which proved even more suc
cessful than that of last Sunday.
"1 want to say," said I*. \V. Dunn,
after numerous committees ot ar
rangements had reported progress
"that there is a demand for prompt
action by this body. l'r. O'Reilly
and Colonel Vt.-unson, of Detroit,
have gone to Ireland. It is not
possible that they had no objection
in view, and I move that we send
a cablegram to Darnell at once to
a.dvi-n hill) of I lleir ' .run mission.
The opposition, the murderers of
I)r. Cronin, and the arch fiend back
of it, all have sent them tlieie to
poison the minds of our race. They
are now trying to find support in
the old country, and if we do not
let our countrymen know who they'
are and what they are, we will suf
fer for it. We are already misun
derstood, and Darnell ought to be
advised to have nothing to do with
them until he hears from the meet
ing of the 23rd.
''That is right," said P. O'Connor,
four-fifths of the Irish people are so
i mystified that they believe there
j was a justification in the murder of
I)r. Cronin, and that he was a British
spy. The man we know to he re
sponsible for his murder, and who
lias long been the plunderer and
spokesman of tiia people, is there.
The Irish people can't believe that
this uncrowned King of 15,000,000
people can be guilty of such a crime,
and they look upon us with con
tempt for prosecuting patriots.
These men who have gone to Ireland
know what they are about, and they
will aid of the sentimental or finan
cial kind to buy the acquittal of the
tools of the arch fiend."
Hie suggestion was u|'|w»"i
the ground that the proposed public
gathering was of a revolutionary
measure, the anniversary ot the
Manchester Martyrs, and the com
munications from it to Pavnell,
miglt embarrass that lender by
collecting him with it.
'[)ie chairman ruled further clis
cuiion of the matter out of order.
iNine-tenths of the Irish people
th.uk Cronin was a spy insisted
Secretary Matt J. Corcoran, "and
it is the result of the work ot those
who are getting up the opposition
I celebration at Central Music Hall.
These dynnamiters" —") object,'
exclaimed several, and the Secretary
was it '■ vl ottt oi order ou llio point
that so far as known there had beet
no dynamiting by Chicago nuen.
A resolution was adopted denying
that in the speech at last Sunday':
