The hand bills announcing the

they have ruined his usefulness and
consigned him to the dogs.

The sugar speeches of the demo
cratic campaigner will not have the
same seductive effect as in days gone
by. The audiences will ask the
questions and the. speaker will be on

ing. The rank and file of their party

"How can we face tiie people after indulg
ing in such outrageous discriminations and
violations of principles?.—(President
Cleveland in the Wilson letter,'
Nothing, Grover, but hard cheek
and an unlimited quantity of con
centrated gall which your party pos
sesses could frame an excuse for the
last Democratic Congress.

on the Gth of November.

The Towanda Review gave a por
trait of landlord Sceley of Forksville
last week, and in their biographical
-ketch of his life said that he was a
show for the small boys when he
lived in Towanda, meaning of course
his avordupois. lie tips the scales
at 450 pounds. Mr. Seeley will bo
a sort of a side show at the Forks
ville Fair.
Is a man in the liquor business a
proper man to represent us in ll.ir
risbur*? Of course the answer of
the temperance people is a foregone
conclusion, but we refer the question
especially to those of our tax payers
who occasionally take a glass of beer.
We make no comment, but simply
ask you to give the question a
thought.
The fact that Messrs. Ant6ii and
McDevitt, Democratic Congressional
Conferees of Northumberland coun
ty, would not and did not vote to
make Mr. Buckalew's nomination
unanimous in their conference, is of
much significance in Northumber
land county. It may appear of no
consequence to our people, but the
result of the bolt on the part of the
conferees will add much to the boom
of our friend Kulp. If you want to
be on the winning and the right side
vote for Farmer Kulp.
On Xlie Slump
Monroe 11. Kulp, of Shamokin,
the Republican candidate for con
gress in the district comprising
Northumberland, Columbia, Mon
tour and Sullivan counties, was a
Sabbath visitor and spent the day
with his friend, 11. J. Mills. He
will open his campaign at Shamokin
to da}' and will speak on the same
platform with General Hastings
when the latter visits Mr. Kulp's
district.—Pottsville Miners' Jour
nal.
Our candidate for President Judge
lien. E. M. Dunham, is looked upon
as one of our very best attornies.
He is competent in every respect to
preside as President Judge of this dis
trict and the people will so sustain us
in this remark, notwithstanding the
little dirty slurs flung out in Grand
imother, last week. Ed. as he is
familiarly known has served our
people in the Legislative Chambers,
District Attorney and other promi
nent offices, and as an officer did his
constituents honor.
Hon. F. 11. Piatt of Tunkhannock
who was nominated lor Member by
the Democratic party of Wyoming
county in their convention at a recent
date, has declined the nomination
and at a meeting of the Wyoming
county standing committee, held on
Monday of last week, E. S. Wheeler
was placed on the ticket in place of
Piatt. Mr. Piatt is an old politician
and evidently seen defeat staring
him in the face. lie possibly might
have withdrawn however, in the in
terest of Judge Sittser. If this be
true, Wheeler's throat will be cut
from ear to ear, on the 6th of Nov
ember.
Deputy Collector, Buckingham ofj
tbis district, was in Lapoite one
day last week collecting 2 cents a
pack on playing cards offered for
sale bv onr several merchants. This
is in aceor dance with the Wilson bill.
We are told that he collected 12 els.
of our store keepers. As the charges
for riding in the hack from the depot
to the city is 15 cents, his collections
fell short three cents of paying the
bill. The Government pays Buck
ingham and we presume his bill will
be not less than $75, for doing this
county. He will perhaps collect for
the people £lO. A profitable invest*
ment for you and J, isn't it? This
is a fair sample of the Democratic
Wilson bill.
Jennings Bros, of Lopez give em
ployment to one or two hundred men
daily. One of this firm, B. W. Jen
nings is the peoples' candidate for
Member. He is a progressive young
man and one that is deserving of the
support of the Sullivan county peo
ple. Their saw mill is one of the
largest industries in the county.
With this mill closed, how would it
effect Lope/. ? W\y, the business
there would almost come to a stand
still. All will admit this. l{aveyou
consideied the fact too, that the
Jennings Bros, pay out in wages,
eight or ten thousand dollars, month
ly? and that they pay fourteen hun
dred dollars county tax ? Messrs.
Jennings gave County Treasurer,
A. L, Smith a check of this amount
one day recently, which only settled
lhat part of their tax due the ootiu
ty. In addition to this they pay n
large school, road and pool tux. Are
they not deserving ? We think so
and like many others feel that Worth
should receive the support and
vote of every good thinking tax
|iayer in the County. When you
. Uavo hummed up the situation in this
context, you will admit that while
both Mr. Farrrll and Mr.
:tre gentlemen, the latter is the de*
I serving one.
HliJ' llKklll'.H.
With the nomination of Charles
It Buckalew by the Democratic
conference at Danville the issue in
this Congressional district is made
up; and the voters from now on will
bo called upou to make their choice.
No one will pispute Mr. Bucka
lew's abilities as a lawyer nor deny
his reputation as a diplomat. These
are not issues in this campaign. The
question is simply which of the two
men will best serve the interests of
the district and contribute most to
the prosperity of the country.
The President has declared that
the tariff war must goon. Not con
tent with the fact that after having
kept the country in a state of depres
sion and anxiety for a year, at the
end of which they were compelled,
by the state of business, to pass a
bill whose only commendatory fea
ture is the measure of protection it
affords, and whose odious income
tax and diferential duties in favor of
the sugar trust no one defends. Not
content with these things, they as a
party demand a continuation of this
struggle.
It certainly will be continued if
the next Congress is Democratic.
Wc are not calamity howlers but we
feel and know that the only hope of
that era of prosperity we all desire,
lies in stopping the warfare on
American industries. Ilence we are
for Kill p.
Mr. Buckalew's whole past record
his stand during the war, his associ
ation in the Senate and House unmis
takeably indicate that his future
alliances like those of the past, will
be with the South.
The future of this country cannot
be trusted to that section and their
allies. Their whole policy is des
tructive of national wealth and
national credit.
The mission of the Republican
party is to put this country- on a
sound basis, to rescue the treasury
from its present depleted condition,
to so restore the confidence of the
world that we may enter upon a pro
longed period of prosperity and our
factories and industries once more
resound with the happy voices of
thrifty people. Neither by past
record, present association or per
sonal temperament is Buckalew
qualified to represent our people at
this crisis.
In the past he preferred a divided
confederacy to a nation preserved by
the law. In the present he is the
associate, anil if'elected would be the
colleague, of the men who framed
and passed the Wilson bill and
whose inability to act was and is the
cause of our present depression. In
temperament he cannot sympathize
or associate with the working people
of this country.
Kulp on the contrary is a self
made young man, who has toiled
with the toilers, and who has felt
the pangs of adversity and who will
make a lighting soldier on the peo
ples side of the next Congress.
The sum ami substance of the tariff
question, as Abraham Lincoln view
ed it, was given in his first speech
on the tariff question, which was
short and to the point, lie said he
did not pretend to be learned in po
litical economy, but lie thought that
he knew enough to know that "when
an American paid twenty dollars for
steel to an English manufacturer
America had the steel and England
had the twenty dollars. But when
he paid twenty dollars for steel to
an American manufacturer America
had the steel and the twenty dollars."
It was certainly a great tariff speech
in a very few words, simple and to
the point.
There is a suspicion abroad that
some of the honest sheep raisers in
Lycoming county are playing a
game upon the county that would do
credit to a heathen (Jhinoe. It is
alleged that when a sheep is killed
the auditors are informed. They see
the sheep appraise it and go away,
but while the auditors are turning
out of the lane, the owner ot another
tlock of sheep will take the dead
animal to his home, summon the
auditors, have it appraised and re*
ceive the money from the commis
sioners. Then one or two other men
do likewise, until finally the county
pays out about S-'O dollars for that
one sheep.

Council should order them rebuilt at
once, and it'the owners of the lots
refuse to liuild that part along their

should take the matter in hand atidf

the same of the lot owners, as was
done by a former Hoard—of the

The people owning lot 3 on West

better in this respect than another
