Vincent, chairman of the County Committee. C. H. Jennings of Lopez, was elected President. Before taking the chair Mr. Jennings made an appropriate speech full of sound Re publican sentiments. Daniel Schoonover and A. B. Kilmer, were elected Vice Presi dents, and M. R. Black and T. J. Ingham Secretaries. Delegates appeared frcm the sever al boroughs and townships and answered to their names as follows : B rnice:—James llyile, Joel Bason, Daniel Schoonover, N. L. Cox. Cherry;—W. D. Bikr. Colley;—G. W.

Jennings. It was unanimously resolved tbat delegates in attendance from each township and boro. be authorized to oast the number of votes which said district is entitled to. In pursuance of a resolution the president appointed—C. Peale, Jr., A. E. Campbell, W. M. Cheney and E. V. Ingham, a committee to draft resolutions. While the committee were absent Prof. M. R. Black was called upon for a speech and made a few telling remarks which was loudly applaud ed. E. P. Ingham was then called on and addressed the convention in one of his happy impromtu speeches in which he struck the key notes of the coming Presidential campaign! "Protection to American Color, a • sound currency ; Safety for Ameri can Citizens abroad, and honesty and purity in the administration of the Government. The standard bearer, he said, who led us to victory in 1888, will again carry the Re publican banner ; and the record of his clean, honest, sound and bene ficial administration will be the platform of success. The committee on resolutions then reported resolutions as fol lows : Resolved, That the Republicans of Sullivan county heartily endorse the administration of President Harrison, its foreign policy is an assurance to all American citizens abroad that their rights will be lully protected, its home policy assures protection to American labor and American credit through honest money. We desire to add to this com mendation of President Harrison a request to the District Conference that our National Delegates be in structed to support his renomina tion. Resolved , That after the Presi dential election of 1892, Delegats to the Republican Convention of Sullivan county, shall consist of two Delegates for the first forty (40) Republican yotes cast at the last Presidential election before each Convention and one additional Dele gate for each forty Republican votes or fraction thereof exceeding twenty but no election districts shall be re stricted to less than two delegates, that is to say : 40 votes 2 Delegates, 61 '• 3 80 " 4 " 101 '• 5 " 120 " 6 " John H. Cronin moved that the resolutions be considered separately, and that the first resolution be adopted ; the motion was seconded, and the resolution was adopted by acclamation. Mr. Cronin then moved that the second resolution be laid over for consideration by the next Republi can Convention which was agreed to. On motion the Convention then proceeded to the nomination of a Delegate to the National Conven tion. F. P. Vincent nominated Ellery P. Ingham as the candidate from this county for Delegate to the Re publican National Convention to be held at Minneapolis, and that he bb authorized to select his own Con. ferees to meet with Conferees from the other counties or this Congres. sional District to elect delegates to the National Convention. No other nomination being made a vote was taken and Ellery P. Ing ham was unanimously nominated. OH motion the Convention then proceeded to nominate a Delegate to the State Convention. F. P. Vincent nominated John H. Cronin of Dushore, and no other nomination being made was unanN niously elected. The Convention then proceeded to select a Standing Committee for the ensuing year as follows : STANDING COMMITTEE. Cherry—W. D. B.ihr. Colli-y —Win. Allen. Berniee —1). Schoonover. Davidson—l). W. Dai ling. Dushore—F. P. Vincent. Forks—Win. Bird. Fox—A. E. Campbell. Forksviilt—M. R Black. LaPorte twp.—J. J. Low. LaPoiteboro. —F. H. Ingham. Lopez—B. \V. Jennings. Shrewsbury—E. V. Ingham. Elkland—J. W. Osier. HillsGrove—Dr. C. Christian. Jamison City—Jos. Carpenter. F. P. Vincent was re-elected chair, man of the Standing Committee. No other business being before the Convention on motion adjourned. T. J. INGHAM, Secretary. S>w York RcpuitliiteM 1(111. Thirty-nine out of sixty counties of New York have held local elec tions and the Democrats have lost the control of the Boards of Super visors in eleven which they con trolled last year. In these counties the Republican Supervisors last year numbered 42G to 352 Democrats. This year the Republican list is swelled nearly a hundred and the Democratic list shrinks accordingly. The new boards average a little more than two Republicans to one Democrat. This is the voters' an swer to Governor Hill's theft of a State Senate and forcing a mid winter convention. It is useless for Mr. Hill and his fiiende to pooh-pooh the results of the charter elections and declare that they signify nothing. If the revolution had affected only one or even a half dozen counties it might have indicated nothing more than a local political unheaval, but a change so sweeping, affecting two-thirds of the State, is nothing more nor less than a revolution, which is certain to include all the other counties above the Harlem rive. The change in the sentiment of the voters is uniform ; it is felt in every county, and it can mean but one thing—dis gust with Hill and a determination to rebuke his unscrupulous methods. It remains for Mr. Hill to accept this rebuke and retire with what grace he may from active pursuit of the Democratic Presidential nomi nation or togo ahead and suffer a humiliating defeat. The Chicago Convention will never nominate a candidate for President from the State of New Ycrk whom the voters of that State have just whacked over the hear] and who have the same club in pickle for him if he is foolish enough to give them another chance. That is the lesson of the Mew York charter elections and if Mr. Hill can't read it as he runs he will run against something very hard before he is many morths older.—Philadel phia Ti>ncs. The entire people of this great U. S, will 6oon be absorbed in politics. ESTELLA ITEMS. VV. T. More is visiting his mother in Andes, New York. A.T. Mulnix is repairing his saw mill. Jonathan Rogers litis finished hauling and is now ready for build ing his lumber into rafts. W. W. Boyle postmaster, is on the sick list. There is too much loafing in our town. That's business young men, goto work and talk less about hard times, The man that is willing and anxious to work can always find employment. Friday was a blizzard and many of the roads are badly drifted. Elkland Grange will give a liter ary entertainment on Tuesday even ing, March 22nd. If talk is an indication or sign of the time?, then the next Demo crat nominee for Prothonotary and Recorder will be from Forksville. If the right man is nominated for this office he will receive little or no opposition. All light minded Demo crats concede that it belongs to the West. Your correspondent is pleased to learn that you are about to enlarge the REPUBLIC AS and bespeak for you uiauy new subscribers in this vicinity. &1.00 a year is certainly very cheap and we are conlirtetit that our Republican and Democratic neighbors will improve the oppor tunity. D. ESTELLA ITEMS NO. 3. W. W. Boyle is on the sick list. G. S. Messick is not able to at tend to business, on account of lagrippe. E. Jennings had the misfortune to fall and hurt himself. ¥Olll scribe has not learned the particu lars. Share holders of Estclla church, met Moiiday evening and elected the following directors: Mr. J. J. Webster, W. U. Plotts, U. Bird, A. G. Little and J. G. Plotts. J. J. Webster has another very sick horse. The young people are practicing for a concert, to be given for the benefit of tho church. C. B. Wlieatley and wife, have re turned home after a two weeks visit, among relatives and friends, in Bradford county. Carlos M. Clarque of Dulls Ranch, Texas, thinks this is just t.he place. He says if it is to rainy to drive te;iin he can break colts. Yes, it is a very good place, especially if you have a fair companion to help break "em." There is a certain young man of this place, who wishes John Webster would pull some ol those stumps, so it would be better walking cross-lots. Rush says lie is sorry he went but it could'nt be otherwise, as the other was not at home. A. McCadden has gone to Deep Hollow, Bradford county, to visit his two children, George and Mary, who are living with their grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed llidt. ' Cal says wait and he will show "cm he is in it." REX. Ell LSGRO VE ITEMS. A sad and fatal accident occured 011 the Hoagland Branch of Elk Creek, on Thursday of last week, which has thrown the people of our little town into a state of excite ment and has caused a gloom to be cast over the entire community On Thursday March 10th. while as sisting in driving the Emery Lumber Co's. logs 011 Hoagland Brandt, a young man by the name of John Boyd, was caught between two loss and was crushed in a manner that caused his death. His friends and companions done all they could to releave his sufferings but to 110 avail, l'lie same evening about 11 o'clock he passed away. Thus cndetli the career of another one of our bright young men, who to know him, was to love him such is his record. May his soul be resting in peace. Geo. S. Iloyt of New York, one of Jr., members of the firm of Hoy 1 Bros , was in town a few days last week, looking after the company's busi ness. Geo. is a bright good boy, and one of the things we noticed him doiDg, was shaking bands with all the boys, which shows that he with all his wealth still remembers the poor. Mr. Jas. Taylor of Olean, who is doing the brick work and setting the new boilers for Hoyfc Bros., was in town last week looking alter the business. Iloyt Bros., are hauling to the bank of the creek, some very fine pine logs, which they have sold to the Emery Lumber Co. last Satur day. Hank Peck brought in the boss load, having 1109 feet. Wm. Bender our famous black smith and horse slioer, is anxious for J. C. Bryan newly elected J. P., to get his commission, so that he will have the right to decide a long pending dispute between himself and Aug. Braunbeck. It appears that said dispute has grown out of an alegation of seme rude person perhaps Mr. Braunbeck, that a certain young lady in our town, is hotter looking than Mr. Bender and Bender wants to know the truth. J. C. Bryan was to Towauda, a few weeks ago and while there met M. J. Lull, who informed him that he would he a candidate for Repre sentative, subject to the decision of the Democratic County Conven tion. The story that he was not to be a candidate, is without founda lion. Last Thursday in a blinding storm J. C. Bryan drove Mr. Hull's team over to Gien Mawr and back, a dis tance of 26 miles in four and a halt hours. How is that for high, boys ? Can Dad Harrison beat it with his grays ? CITIZEN.

All were highly pleased with the entertainment. We understand the young people of Estella, are going to hold a con cert in the church, in the near future. Miss Nellie Bird and S. P. Shoe maker are the moving motors in the enterprise. The Elkland Grange is still in a verv good condition. Prof. Black of Forksvilie, has been appointed County Deputy, for the Grange. A number of children around here are having what some call the pink eye. Postmaster W. W. Boyles is in quite poor health at present. KITTIE CLOVER.
