This is tine railroad weather ami the contractors appreciate it. Potted plants f<>r window culture si ould now recive attention. M. J. Lull passed through town enroute for Davidson twp., on Satur day. The old soldier comrades ure falling in line for Thos. Simmons for Sheriff. Wo are too busy at work on ilie ballot to give our paper any atten tion this week. The young people of LaPorte « n joved a pleasant party at Win. Keller's on Friday evening. K. .1 Fiynn and Thus. Kenned* both of Jamison City, were calling on friends at LaPorte, Sunday. Fifteen thousand dollars wen distributed among the employees at work on the R R., list week. Mr. and Mrs 11. E. AIIKCIIH'Z left for Muncy Saturday where Mr. A. will assist to survey a railroad line. Harrison and R'id wi I be elejte ( by a good hig majority. They wil. have thirty or forty electors to epart}. Are you of the opinion that rail road corporations should pay taxes: If so, vole for D. T. Huckell toi Member. D. T. Huckell is the tanner an<l labors' candidate for Member and he should receive? their support on tne Blh of Nov Friday and Saturday passed otl ordinarily quiet at LaPoite. It was expected that pay day would have a bad effect on the Huns. It is rumored that the Italians at work on the railroad North of La- Porte are dynamiting the creeks and killing fish by the hundreds. "Where is our fisli ami game officials" Paymaster F. E Gleim of the W & N. li. railroad, was pretty tired when he bad finished his labors Fri day evening. He walked over a good part of the line and was ae companied by Mr. Einbeck of Williamsport. An exchange says it has of late been the custom of the Reading Railroad to employ secret detectives on th ir trains to spy on the con ductors, and as result several con ductors have been discharged with out. warning and without In ing told the reason lor their dismissal. It was remarked tons the other day '"y a Democrat that In- (tin speaker,) ,; of bis own knowledge did not know of Mr. Mahatley 112 doing any manual labor since In came to our county and that he did not think it was riiht for our peo ple to tolerate such peop e and vote them into office." This is certain!* good reasoning and we feeleonfiden that there arc main more Dein • crats who feel as this gentleman does about the matter. Seven person were killed and twenty seriously injured, several perhaps fatally, and fifteen others more or less severely, by a collision between the Shamokin expriss alio a coal train at nine o'clock M-aidu\ morning at a point, uiid vay between West Ma nay link station and Roseg l«-n on the Philadelphia & Rea.ling Railroad- Among the list slight I > injured, was Rev. J. Madison Hare of Pboeiiixville, who with his wife and sister-in-law spent a pa't ot last summer at I.a Porte, the guests of T. J Kreler. A number of the Directors of tin- Lake ftlokoma Land Company, wcr at LaPorte on Friday and a meeting was called in the evening Those present were: J. T. Freoericks, president; C. K. Geddes, F. E. Gleim, James McFarlaiu, B. M. Dunham and T. J. Inuham. It was decided that work of cleaning out debris along the sh »res of the lake now being done, should he con tinued until S"nw inUrbres Mr. Jos Newman of Nordmon., and Miss Ma tic Sinclair of LaPorte twp., were married at the home of the brides* uncle, Mr. Jos. Pennig ton, on Wednesday noon. Mr. Newman is express agent at the Nordmont station of the W. & N B , and has hosts ot friends in this vicinity. Miss Matie is a perfect lady and enjoys a large circle of friends. Mr. and and Mrs. New man left on the 3:20 train and will spend their honey moon abroad. The REPUBLICAN extends congratu lations. Tliis is not a tnon- y campaign Our candidates are not rich men, but ordinary Sullivan county farm ers ; the} have no money to use for political purposes. There is no "fund" of an>' kind, from any source, to assist in their election. This is as it should be Purity in our election, aie of primary importance, anil it is about as easy for "a camel togo th ougli the eye of a needle as it is for a politician to have plentj of money ami not use it to corrupt voters. The candidates of the Republican party i:i tr.is county stand in the best iioftible position to command the respect and confidence of all intelljrent right minded men. First, they we.e nominated by a convention in which there was no contention, trickery or combinations The candidates did not solicit the nomination, but were fairly selected by the delegates after due considera tion. Second, tlioy are born citizens of Sullivan county and come from an cestors who were among the pioneers in the great wilderness which once filled ilie valleys of the Loyal Sock and Muncy Creek. Third, they are fresh from the ranks of the people, not havinu held any profitable county offices. Fourth, they are men of brains >nd culture; tliev are abundantly competent to perform the duties ot >1 lie ollic-.s for which they have been nominated. Fifth, their standing as men of public spirit, honor and generosity is so high that even their political adversaries must respect them. S-xtli, they are conducting a qtt et truthful and honest canvass ot tin county, almost single handed. These facts should arouse that class of voters who respect them selves and believe in honest politics. If those who do not believe in the use of money in politics neglect to attend election, and lail *.o do their lull duty m getting their neighbors to the election, then they are too indolent to maintain their own rights Of what avail is it to talk about the discriminations in favor of capital against labor, of corpora tions against farmers, of moneyed candidates against men of moderate means, if the talkers will not make good their words at the polls ? It may be truthfully said that the •'Sister County"candidate lor Sheriff is a man of moderate means; but what are his claims upon the voters of Snl ivau county ? We need not answer ; he is too well known ; the Dushore Gazette cannot bolster him up. For Sheriff. Thomas Mahaffey ; faugh ! ihe "Sister County" can didate for Representative has mone\; lie did not spend it all in his frantic efforts to be elected lour years ago. He has had a good salary since, ai.d profitable Western investments, and if common reports can be relied up on has a corporation backing with au unlimited fund to draw up >n Those who wish money for polilica lerviues will no doubt goto h'tn ; it is to be hoped they will be few. Those who worship the political G >d of .Mammon are sure to be observed and so-ill become obj ets of ridicule and contempt. W hat will you do ? It. is not for lis to say. Men must do their own hinking, and preserve their own rights {bui b needs no profit to predict that success depends o hard wo k and efficient organization It is not too lute to organize a d achieve victorv Let it- be re membered that to get all who wil, vote for IIUCKEL:, and SIMMONS to the election is the work you have IO do. Will you do.it ? James W. Piatt, Esq,and Charles E. Terry, Esq., who are to defend ilie Marks murderers, were <Dutch Mountain on Tuesday |ook ; ng ov, r ihe gro'iud where the nnird- r took place. County Surveyo** Frea , Coinu issioin r Decker District At torney Frear and E. J . Jorden, Esq . were there also and for the same purpose, it b ing understood thai the firm of Harding & Jorden will as ist in the prosecution.— Wyom ing Democrat. < m The W'yalusing Rocket publishes the following bit of ancient history : "No one w ill dispute that our village c-tneterv is very old. There is n tradition 'hat the rst grave mad< there was for a soldier belonging to Gen. Sullivan's ariny, which on its famous march up this \alley in 1779. spent a day or two in that imniedi ate vicinity. During the halt one of the men detailed to look after the horses was kicked by one when watering them in the river. The ! injury proved fatal, and the remains were iaid at rest in the grounds that subsequently became the burial place tor all of this region.'' The Gazette's reply to the little squib in the REPUBLICAN recently about the stupidity of Mr. Mahaffey from drink, is made up of false statements from beginning to rnd. We did not saj' that Mahaffey was drunk as the Gazette construes it. but nimply stupid. This, our au ihority declares is positively true, notwithstanding the contradiction of the Gazette First, Streby savs "that he madi nquiries of people of Forks twp where Mr. Mahaffey cried a sab- Friday Oct. 7th, and all said thai they did not see any whiskey there.' Well, what does this signify ? Our nformant saw hiui in Dushore and not in Forks. Second, "tlia' Cheney belongs to u, clique who has «dvocated whi-kej and temperance since 'B4 when tln\\ went on Jordan llill in Forks twp , nil left a bottle of whiskey in certain families for each voter, an on Warnurtoii Hill in the same twp . made a temperance speech." This is false. We have never visi'cl Jordan or Warburton Hill, but onc> and that was'rit during a camp-ism- This assertion of Sireby's belitt 1 the people of Forks twp., in the ex treme and we presume some of them will lesent it. Third, he makes a break line ami continues on the same strain that we were captain of a "Kitty Club'' t LaPorte and that the orgnnizu tion bo iglit beer and whiskey and had it shipped to Lal'orte and thai these drinkables were kept in a box called the "Kitty." This is all bosh. There is not one word of truth in it. Gut s* the old Torn cat has scratched Streby recently and he lias "Kitty"' on the brain. Fourth, "that we forged M..) Lull's signature to a letter publish <1 in the REPUBLICAN." Tbis is con temptabh false and we defy him to produce a copy of thu REPUBLICAN with such a letter inserted in its cohiuins. Unless he brings the proof ot his assertion he must stand convicted of making false statements. On the Bth day of November next we will again he called upon to ex ercise our rights as freemen, rights purchased and maintained at a great price, and given to us to enjoy ai-d protect, a sacied trust, not to abuse but to use properly, and to pass un impaired t<> those who will succeed us. I'here is a great fear that we do not use this God given right properly. We may think, if we have an in telligent thought about it at all. ihat we are doing the best we k'>ow how. We belong to the party and are voting our party ticket, uncon scious that there m.a\ lie a power >\ithin the party machine greatei than the party, and foreign to the party interests; a power that ha> eorrupted its leaders and hav< managed to have placed as candid al <-s on the ticket, lor all lb-- law making offices, creaMir- s of tlicii • ■wo and thus unconsciously (in vote noes to build up a railivad ••orporation or some otln-r corrupt mouied power. thus we are (Lifting from our •Id moorings inio dan,-, rotis »u>ui.d . whelv we hear the cry char and distinct, Shall raiuoads uile us '{ Have you thought of what your vei'3 next vote in i\ do?

If you do not desire such a state ofthingß as this in our country, then vote for Chandlee Eves who is not a railroad attorney, nor a rail road tool, but is opposed to this overgrown soulless railroad power; in favor of protection to American products, both from the farm and the workshop; in favor'if protection to American labor, the farmer, the man who is always at his post ol' duty, and by his talk, his act and his vote, should he goto Washing ton as your representative, will pro tect American products and Ameri can labor against Ihe convict a: d p uiper labor of Eur p».

The Forksville grad. d school is enjoying the Krge*t aitendauce from out side districts ot any year during its existence. The scholars arc in terested in their work and ailmi ,- e their teacher—Prof. F. \V. Mevlert. I'lie pupils of this school will re gret Mr. Meyleit's departure when he is called from their midst to the ■ fliee of County Superintendent However, iu this capacity lie will call often and be of much service to them as .\ell ss the numerous othei schools of the county. This is »In tne people in general, are so inter csted iu the success of Prof. Mev lert to the odice of Superintendent. Frank and his pupils go in waist deep either during working hours or holding excicises. (Jn Columbus Day they hoisted a brand new sls. flag to the breeze and sue floats in full mast over one of our vers best conducted school rooms in the county. Previous to the rais ing of the Hag appropriate exercises weie gone through with. The choir sang, "America"and Mr. Mevlert addressed the school and the latge assemblage of visitors on 'American Flag" after which the "Red \\ lute and Blue" was sang. In the evening the regular "Colum nus Day" exercises were held in the church. Essays, discriptive ol Columbus'life were read and ap propriate recitations were reviled. A tableaux representing Columbus it the Court of Spain, both before and after Ins first voyage to America, was well received by the gathering, i'liis was entertaining and instruct ive. The entertainment is said to have been excellent, and was well attended in parents and visitors.

The insig mlicant showing made by the peo ple's party in the State elections in he South is reported to have had in excclh nt, effect in tiie northwest, and present iudictions are that Harrison and Reiil will be support ed by solid north, if they get no doctoral votes from the South. A' IIH headquarters of ihe farmers dliauce, the are keep 1 g v- ry quid hese days, whereas a few imuiths g i thev were jubihoily elain inn verything, were even talking of the iio-sibili'.y if electing Weaver. Now ihey will probably be glad if tli y -ncoeed in electing a dozen Members of the House. Tlr-' election proclainat on will ap pear correctly in the REPUB\ICA» next we»>k. The Diwhorc papers published it last week but it was'nt correct. The REPUBLICAN is ofllcial. W T e are under no disadvantage in ! any foreign market, except that w.> : pay cur workmen better wages than are paid elsewhere —better abstract ly, belter relatively to the cost of the necessaries of lile. I do not doubt that a very largely increased foreign trade is ncceas-ible to us without bartering for it either our home market, for such products of the farm or shop as our own people can supply, or the wages ol our working people."—Benjamin Har rison. "The I'nruier'm Slmso." This was the subject of an ad dress by Grand Master Brigham, at the New York State Pair. Among other excellent things, he said : "It was the farmer who came first to this country to establish homes, to tiil the ground, to worship God according to the dictates uf their <>«n conscience. The farmers were ilie preservers of our country. They braved the dangers and had their full share of the trials Now 1 be lieve it is no more than right that our burners of today. should have their share of the profits of their labor. Farmers are not receiving their share. Farmers should have belter recognition in making laws and directing the affairs of this Government. There should be more men from the farm in our leg islative bodies." These remarks are worthy of consideration by ihe farmers of Sullivan county in choosing a Representative to Ilnr risburg. It is estimated that the farmers comprise 50 per cent of the repiesentation and only 20 per cent of tue wealth, and that they pay lour times as much taxes for the amount invested, than any other class or occupation. Does not this seem to demand "equalization of taxation." And would it not be safe to entrust this matter with the f.rmers' candidate in this county as his farm is situated in a borough, and he himself, has ft It the burden, as he pays annually about §OO.OO tax. Another important question is the sni j ct of Capital u:id labor. OH this subject an eminent writer observes. There must be compro mise sooner or later. The rights ol capital and property must be pre served. Neither can the working man lie made a slave. Each Stale Government should take the matter in hand, and ask to protect property ol material kind, but the most valu able of all propel ty the toiling multi tudes. We must learu to recognize ihe fact that the most precious tiling in the land is not money or proper ty, but the people. Now • ion these questions and others of importance, is it not wise to entrust them with a person whose interest is identical with ours. A FA KM Kit. Forksville, Pa.
