The result of the recent election
in Sullivan county. has turned many
Democrats to the Republican ranks.
We learned of two on Monday who
vow they will never vote Democracy
in the future. We imagine that
the result lias done more for the
future success of the Republican
party of Sullivan county than a
victory could have done.
Very evidently the booui in the

The west is now supplying the

Whole body with her tail thrown in

result was: 105 votes for Lawrence
and only 31 for Utz, giving Law

entitled to the cake.
Rev. Father Enright ofDushore,
held Mass in the second ward school
house, on Sunday last: The ques
tion as to the advisability of erect
ing n Chatholic church ilt this place
is being agitated. To accomplish
this undertaking would btily be nec
essary to have some oilergetic per
son make a commencement with the
intention of accomplishing their
nudertaking. Our people will sub
scribe liberally.
Chief engineer Win. A. Mason and
son, W. C. Mason, of LaPorte, are
engaged in running a line for the
W. A N. 8., from Halls to Williams

or has it that the Pennsylvania B.
11. Co., will purchase the W. A N.

for the correctness of the Statement,
however.

liicholt, claims that he paid to the
J. P., in Schuylkill, who issued the

Eagles Mere, Nov. Bth, 1889.
The result of the lowa election
this fall, as will be seen elsewhere in
this issue affords a striking illustration
of the perversity o( the Third-party
Prohibitionists that, notwithstanding
all efforts and sacrifices of the Re
publican party to establish Prohibi
tion in lowa, they have insisted up
on running a straight ticket in
every election. If the next Legis
lature repeals the Prohibitory law
they will have to take much of the
blame to themselves. Republicans
will not put up with insult upon
insults. They are willing to assist
the Third-party and to them the
Prohibition party is indebted for
all they possess to-day. They will
not, liowever, make a sacrifice of
their owi> principles to a body so
ungrateful as the Third-party of
lowa have proven themselves to be.
Chairman Andrews, of the Re
publican State Committee has been
visiting National Chairman, Senator
Quay, at his Beaver home. The
Pennsylvania Chairman would un
doubtedly receive a word of warm
commendation, which he so well
deserved, and he may well feel that
he full}' justified the confidence
shown by Quay in indicating him
112 >r hts present position.
The jubilant Gazette does not
claim the election of Utz as a Demo
cratic victory; and in this it is right.
Many of the soundest and nirst re
liable Democrats did not support
him at all, and many more support
ed him under protest. No, it is not
a Democratic victory; it is the vic
tory of CASH.
The Republicans of Sullivan coun
ty have proven that in county af
fairs they seek the best men for the
otlices, and will not oppose a man
merely because he is a Democrat.
Alphonsus Walsh received every
Republican vote. Let no man
argue hereafter that Republicans
will not on fitting occasions sup
port Democrats for count}' offices.
In its last issue before, tiio elec
tion the Gazette published several
bare faced lies knowing it was too
late to have them investigated be
fore election, and intending to get
the benefit of the lies at the polls.
Several ot these lies arb too trifling
to pursue, but the one in which we
are charged with publishing a
"forged letter last year" we are un
willing to let drop. We now de-;
maud of the Gazette to make good
its alligation or stand before the
public a self admitted liar.
We hare heard it remarked that
two lacties of Lr.Porte antibipate
going into the newspaper business,
in Sullivan county. The political;
boniplexion of the new sheet will be
Democratic. They say the Gazette
does not amount to anything and it!
is time that the party had a good
reliable orgiin. The ladies give the
best of reasons and will undoubted
ly have manj' followers.
The Gazette last week put out its
rooster with head lines. "The Ing
ham Ring is Dead." Tile Ingham
King is the creation of the Editor's
imagination, used by him during the
campaign as a big bear to frighten
his adherents. There was not
the shadow of a King in the nom
ination of Lawrence or in the elec
tion campaign. The Republican
Convention unanimously nominated
Lawrence', there was no "dictation"
from any souref?. His defeat is
merely the victory of capital over
labor.
Wyoming county is no longer
figured in the Democratic columns;
The result of the 1888 campaign
which gave Harrison 187 majority
and electing the entire Republican
ticket corroborated with the recent
election giving Boyer a handsome
majority arid electing the lull Re
publican ticket is convincing evi
denbe that Wyoming is being popu
lated by Susquehanna and Bradford
county peciple who vote protection
to our country. The Democrats of
siiid county made a desperate strug
gle for success but it proved in vain.
We predict that the Wyoming
f)emocrat will in a short time advo
cate Republican principles. Noth
ing like being on the big side; is'
there Day ?
In the life of Lincoln now run
ning through the papers of the
Century magazine, a iriessage pre ;
pared by the President and sub
mitted to his Cabinet on February
5,18G5; is made public for the first
time. In it he proposed to pay the
Southern States $400,000,000 as an
indemnity for the price of their
slaves, offer complete pardon for
political oflenses and release con
fiscated Southern property. The
Cabinet Unanimously disapproved
of the scheme. The secret never
leaked out and the message never
saw the light liiitil now.
Mr. Morton's Hotel Has No Bar.
CIIICAUO, Nov. *.—The Inter-
Ocean prints an authoritative denial
of the story about a bar in Vice
President Morton's apartment house
in Washington. The den id was
sent to the Rev. John 11. Shaw, of
this city, who had written the vice
president regarding the Matter.
Of the four Western precincts of
Sullivan county, viz: Forksville,
Elkland, Hillsgrove and Fox, the
two latter can only be relied upon to
stand by the nominations of the Re
publican Convention; all four how
ever, give a large Republican ma
jority on National matters. The
result of such actions is humiliating
to the Eastern Republicans who
work hard for the success of candi
dates named by the party. We
shall continue to work, however, and
in time will shame the advocates of
Republican principles into line.
Pro»pects of Oil.
Nearly all the land in the town
ships of Albany and Ovbrton,in fact
the whole southern portion of Brad
ford and the northern portion of
Sullivan counties, lias recently been
leased by Oil Prospectors.
It will be remembered by our
readers that about two years ago
several test wells were drilled in the
vicinity of New Era, aiid were
"plugged.'* Many believe there is
oil in that region and that the pres
ent prospectors are under directions
of the Standard Oil Co. At any
rate it will not be long before drills
will again be 011 the ground and new
wells put down. Should the hope
of finding oil and gas in this or
Sullivan county prove successful it
\vould give an impetus to business
over a large scope of country.—

Congressman Perkins, of Kansas;
who stumped a portion of Virginia,
for the Republicans, had a rough
experience among the rebels of that
benighted country, and he is not
anxioUs to repeat it. He was con
stantly subject to abuse and mis
representation by the Democratic
press, and to cap the climax, the
proprietor of a hotel at Orange
Court House compelled him to
leave the house after he had made a
speech, and he was forced to travel
several miles in the country before
he could get a meal. And this is ill
free America within a fbw miles 6f
the National Capital and in a section
that has boasted of its chivalry
and hospitality. If there is a State
in this Union that needs reconstruc
tion more than any other, it is
dark and benighted Virginia.
Elections were held in ten States
on Tuesdiiv Nov. sth, the Republi
can! carried three, while the Demo
crats were successful in the ether
seven. There are many surprising
results in some of the states, which
are due to local causes and net as
rebuke to the Administration.
Pennsylvania rolls up a magnificant
majority of 60,000 for Hon. 11. K.
Koyer, the largest majority ever
given to a candidate for State Treas
urer. Massachusetts and Nebraska
are still foitnd in the Repulicftn
column. lowa has gone Democratic
by a small majority, caused by sever
al local dissensions. The third term
business in Oblr>, no doubt was the
Ctluse of Foraker's defeat. Apathy
on the part of the rural Re
publicans in New York gave that
State to the Democracy. In Virgin
ia Mahone was snored under. In
Mississippi there was no contest and
in New Jersey the Democrats, as
usual, were successful.
