Cleveland received 12ti0 votes in
Sullivan county in 1888. Ou Tues
day the Bth his vjte was 1261, hence,
the Democratic vote in Sullivan has
increased one during the ~ast four
years while the R-publieaii vote has
fallen off about in proportion with
the Pr ihibition vote
party than from the Democratic.
Would-be-post-masters are plenty
at Dushore. There are five appli
cants seeking the appointment under
the newly elected administration.
They are as follows : G. K Dona
hue, Geo. Deegan, Nathan Per-un,
Lot McHenry and John Finan.
Messrs. Donahoe, Deegan and Finan
have petitions in circulation. A
trifle early boys, but then the early
bird catches the worm.
The victorious Democrats are so
anxious to get at the McKinley bill
that they will not hare the patience
to wait until December 1893. Al
ready they are demanding that the
new Congress be convened as soon
after the 4th of March as possible,
so that the obnoxious law can be
wiped from the statute booka. Re
publicans are fully as impatient and
will acquiesce in the haste so strong
!}• manifested. The earlier the bet
ter. The most popular thing that
the new President can do would
be to convene Congress on the sth
of March, if it were possible for the
members to get there. They might
be notified in advance, however.
Let us have "reform" and with a
vengeance.
Good Bye T» roll ties For m Time.
We have had a very clean and
pleasant campaign, but every cam
paign 1B more or less distasteful, and
we are hll glad that it is over. For
several week* tbe only news which
the majority of readers eared much
for WHS political news. Everything
else was secondary to the great
question of who should lie the next
President. That question is settled
now, and newspapers can go back
to normal conditions and give gen
eral news The REPUB ICAN has
undertaken to give the political
news freely, and to give it fairly.
We have not knowingly publised
anything as news or editorial which
was not warranted by the facte, and
while some things may have dis
pleased some readers this is one of
the invariable things in every cam
paign. Now, with the campaign
finished, with this hard political
work done, we turn again to a norm
al newspaper work with thai relief
which every newspaper feels when
every kind of news has its due im
portance and one kind does not
practically exclude and overshadow
every other. There is much in
business which is highly encourag
ing, and hereafter the REPUBLICAN
will give in each issue, in the Story
of the Week, a brief review of the
business outlook. In business mat
ters in homo and foreign news, in
useful suggestions to young men, in
everything which goes to the making
of a heme newspaper it will en
deavor to be especially helpful and
loadable in the coming months.
For a time, good bye to politics,
and hail and welcome to the general
news of the world !

low lie Cunaed the Death ol a
Boy VeKlerilajr.
BRADFORD, Nov. 14.—.John Leg
gett, a fourteen-year-old-boy, died
it his mother's home lust night from
burns that cover him from head to
foot. Last evening at 6 o'clock a
tramp sought shelter in an old shed,
which a party of boys used as a
play house. The boys tried to gei
the tramp to leave the place, but he
refused to go. Young Leggett
went into expostulate with the fel
low. The tramp had kindled a fire
in an old store in the shanty, and
imong the truck in the place was a
bucket partly lull ofcrude petroleum
i'he Cegs»eit boy was standing close
to the open tire, when the tramp de
liberately seized the bucket of oi.
•md dashed it over the boy in sin I.
i way that what, did not strike him
went into the fire. The fl.mes fol
lowed the torrent of oil, leaping
from the fire in (he stove to the lit
tle fellows clothing, and in a breath
he was ablnze and a railroad em
ploye who was passing rushed to
his relief. The clothing was burned
off the boy before the fire «'ii
s mothered. Delirious and ravin"
wild with pain, the little fellow wa
carried to his mother. He died twe
hours later.
The tramp was caught near th«-
round-house of the Pittsburg,
Hochester and dtiffalo railroad, and
a crowd of angry men hurry
ing preparations to l\ nch hiin when
the police officers arrived and a
struggle began for possession of the
prisoner. Ihe officers would have
lost their in-in had not some of the
cit izens joined tlieui and indmed
the would-be-hnchers to listen to
reaaon. Finally the terror stricken
weteli was surrendered to the au
thorities. He clairas to hail from
\litany, X. Y.

I'LTTSFIELD, Mass., Nov. 13.—E
Jones, Son & Co., hare received a
despatch canceling an order for
machinery for a $400,000 paper
mill in New York State, for which
the foundations are already laid.
The projectois say they have de
oided not togo on owing 'o the re
sult of the recent election.
Here is one instance wheie per
haps one thousand men are thrown
out of employment owing to the
success of a free trade administra
tion. We can look for many more
in the near future.
St re h\'s "break'' last week in his
remark that the telephone between
La Porte and Onshore was owned
and minipulated b\ l>eputili( ans and
for this reason he could not get tbe
election news from this end of the
conntv for publication ; is another
exhibit of St reby's Ignorance. The
line between this place and Du
shore has been out of' order for
some weeks and further it is leased
by the W. h N B. railroid, who has
recently repaired it as far as Dohm's
Summit. Mr. Marston, chief en
gineer of the W. \ N. B. looks
after it at this end, to whom Streby
owes an apology.
The line also extendi* to Dr. H'll's

The Acqaltal ot Lingo Stir* Up
BfercbuutTille.
PHILADELPHIA., NOV. 13.—The
good people of Merchantville, New
Jersey are in arms because of the
acquittal yesterday in (,'amdcn of
Francis Lingo, colored, the alleged
murder of Mrs. Annie Miller. Their
anger knows no bounds, and in in
termingled with fear that some one
else maj' be murdered 111 that vicini
fcy, and the perpetrator go unpunish
ed. The wives and daughters of
the well-to-do residents, and they
are numerous, actually dread to
leave their homes aloue for fear
that something might happen them.
AB soon as it was learned yester
day afternoon that Lingo was a free
man threats of lynching him, should
he return to the community, were
freely made, and to-day these ex
pressions grew in earnestness and
volume.
As the outcome of this state of af
fairs an indigra'ion meeting was
held at 4 o'clock this afternoon in
the Merchantville town hall which
was attended by two hundred of the
most prominent citizens of the lo
cality. It was presided over by
Thomas C. Kniglit, the President of
the Philadelphia Brokers' Exchange,
and a committee of three, consisting
of John Morton, Edward Nash and
Frederick Kleintx was appointed to
confer with Camden County Pros
ecutor Jenkins, who conducted tin
case against Lingo, and see whnt
could be done to keep the acquitted
negro from returning to the neigh
borhood.
Resolutions were presented,(and
although referred to a committee of
live were practically adopted) cen
suring ex-Judge Westeott, senioi
counsel for Lingo, expressing
sympathy with John Miller, husband
of the murdered woman and disap
proving of the abrupt ending of th<
trial. The committee, comprised
John Allen, Charles Hollingshead,
Edward W. Morris, William Long
streeth and Morris Rederow, all ol
whom are wealthy and influential,
and to whom the resolutions were re
ferred, will probably augment them.
The meeting adjourned to meet at
the same place to-morrow night at
eight o'clock, when a definate lin«
of action will lie determined upon
I'he citizens arjue rli-it as the mur-
Icrers of Miss Annie h< cone\ am'
Jrs. Annie Miller, both of whir
ireurred within their tni lsr, are un
ivrnged, there i- no -afety for then ;
lint their lives and the lives of thei
families are in constant peril a'd
that precautions must be taken.
They fear that ..he acquittal of
'halklev Leconey and Francis Ling...
<>f the respective murders, I lie latiei
also l»eing arrested for the fii>t
crime, will set a lawle s preced' nt t•
many of the five hundred nejroes
Matchtown, a snbu bof Merrha t
vi lie, which might r" nit in anotln >
mysterious killing. The* also fm
•hat someone shoul I be handed to
<*acli murd.-r, but as there is no
probability of i-ither mystery » \ »'i
being cleared, the best they can do
is to take, in a measure, t!ie law i
their own hands and protec their
homes by aggressive methods. Tin
Matchtowu negroes are aroused and
threaten vengeance upon any one
\ ho shall maltreat Lingo.
Lingo sass lie never will return
to Merchantville, ami as his liu
would be in darger were he to do
so, it is believed he will he an un
known quantity in parts, lb
will exhibit himself in a dime museum
in this city during the coniiii;:
week.
AM EFFECT ELECTION.
An Iron nnd Steel Company
Changes Its Policy.
CANOHSBTJRQ, Pa., Nov 14.—The
Iron and steel manufacturing compa
ny of this place, which had been
making arrangements to start in
connection with their mill the manu
facture of tin plate, and had oroer
edt' e machinery for the '>ara«, hav.
abandoned the pr> j<-ct and counter
manded the order for th<> machinery,
giving as a reason that the incorn
ing Democratic administration hav
ing declared its policy on the tariff
they fear that the infant tin plate
industry would not likely thrive
under a revenue tariff.
The above is the second manu
facturing establishment, as quoted
in the REPUBLICAN, abandoned
on account of the free trade ad
ministration. This time in Pennsyl
vania, hence, hundreds of working
men are thrown out of a contemplated
situations. We fear that free trade
will be the means of putting a gooi'-
ly number of us poor working peo
ple to the wall before four years
roll around. If we can survive un
til then the Republican party will
rescue us.
Cleveland will be inaugurated on
I the 4th of March.

total of $444.20. This does not
include the expenses of delivering
the booths and other paraphernalia
and blanks made necessary by the
new law, nor does it include the

the election officer's expenses are
not much greater than they were at
former elections. The figures for
the different districts are as follows:
