Are the Republicans of Sullivan connty prepared for the work of the campaign ? If not it would be well for them to begin the work of organ ization early, and thoroughly equip themselves for the contest through which they must pa«s. We believe that it is possible for our party to win laurels, if not a few of the couu tv offices, this year, and it behooves them to be up and doing. Early organization will be to their advan tage. Let clubs be formed in the townships and boroughs, and the Sulliyan Republicans will have no occasion to regret it. The military authorities of the State have decided to stop enlist menls in the National Guard, aftei Jan. 1, 1803, and also to compel every company to qualify at least thirty-five men in target practice.

For sometime past various articles of value have beeu missing from the residence of Rev. Wirt, Ilughesville. amqng them a gold watch worth over one hundred dollars. The reverend gentlenvtn and his wife have been taking their meals at Rit ter's hotel, and it was during theii absence at the hotel that the goodf were stolen. Finally Mrs. Woodley took an interest iu the matter aud concluded to keep her eye on tin parsonage after the pastor and wife left fqr the hotel. Yesterday, at dinner time, she saw a boy named Stevenson, who is about 12 or 14 years of age, cross the street and enter the house ; she was not far be hind him, but he disappeared sud denly. She then locked the door and sought assistance, when a search of the house was made, resulting in the finding of Stevenson under a bed. This brought the recovery of tl p gold watch and other articles thi t had been stolen. Hon. Cornelius Cronin of Du shore, who was numbered among the oldest settlers of little Sullivan, died at his home, ou Thursday May sth,. 1892. Peceased, about ten years ago fell and fractured his hip joint, which caused him much suiler ing up to the time of his death, lie was oompclled to move about on crutches all these long years aud very seldom left his residence.

Ea BEFVBLIOAN: —It ia with pleasure that I take up the REPUBLI CAN of May 6th, as enlarged; it is N clean, bright and newsy sheet, it is the best paper published in the oounty, its local news columns are not stale, but the very latest that can be obtained, giving to its read ers that which every paper must do to be successful, the very latest and most porrect news. We arci much to. learn that the editor and proprietor of the REPUBLICAN, has been so successful in this enterprise, that he ia able to enlarge and at the same time reduce the price of his paper, and are cognizant of the fact that \t is, up hill to start and make a success of a Republican paper in & county, with as large a Democratic majority as there is in Sullivan oounty. livery one is fully aware of the adverse oiroumstances the present editor and proprietoi has had to contend with, fighting his way up inch by inch in the fact of all opposition, ever keeping in view the motto, that eternal vigilanoe is the price of liberty. Friend Cheney has not received the support of the Republicans of the county in the past that he should have had, but in the face of all, he has made it a success. He has pub lished a straight oqt Republican papei and was deserving of a better sup port than he received. Every Re publican in Sullivan oouuty should be a subscriber to the only Republi can paper published in the county, and we believe that the time is not far distant when they will be, the eyes of the people are beginning to open to the faot, that an editor wbr will stand in the face of all opposi tion and advocate the true Republi can principal, Yes, the true Ameri can principal, will gain the undivid ed support of all true Aniericar citizens, weather they be Republi can Jor Democrat, it is right, and will prevail. to the RE PUBLICAN.
