THE REPUBT jICAN. w. M. CHENEY, - * -Editor. FRIDAY. JULY 26. 1885 REPUBLICAN CONTENTION. HON. W. C. ROOEKS ELECTED DELEGATE TO THE STATE CONVENTION, jI C will Hupp®*® th® Adralnlmrs" lion From First to Last. Pursuant to call the Republicans of Sullivan county met in conven tion at the courthouse in Laporte on Saturday, .July 20th. The convention wa3 very largely attended. Each precinct was repre sented by her quota of delegates, and all were anxious to help name the Delegate to our State convention which will convene in Harrisburg on Wednesday, August 28th, 1895. The weather with the exception of being quite warm, was all that could be judiciously nsked for. Delegates and visitors arrived by train and private conve3 r ances from 8 until 12 o'clock. They were indeed a repra* seutalive body of men, with seeming ly lots of business on hand. The candidates and friends arrived at an early hour in the morning, and groups of four and a half dozen peo ple could be seen on most every cor ner engaged in earnest conversation concerning, "who shall be our Dele gate to the State Convention." This being the only fight and in fact was the only business done by our con vention. It was 1:40 p. in., when Chairmao Vincent culled the convention to or der. It was a fine looking assem blage of men, the party having chosen good representatives to do the work of this convention. Ulysses Bird Esq., of Estella, and A. E. Campbell of Slmnk, were elect ed temporary secretaries for enroll ment. With this work done the convention proceeded to organize by electing officers of thn convention. Ulysses Bird Esq., was made Pres ident and R. H. Guye of Bernice, and W. L. Hoffnan of Hillsgrove Vice Presidents; F. G. Rice of Lopez and A. E. Campbell of Shunk, Secre» taries. With the organization perfected nominations for Delegate to the State Convention was declared in order, lion. W. C. Rogers of Forks ville, and F. H. Ingham of Laporte, were placed in nomination. Ingham withdrew and Rogers was elected by acclamation. Rogers will goto the State convention uninstructed, but will vote with the Administration from first, to last. It was this issue that brought out the full attendance of delegates, and there is no doubt of Mr. Rogers position regarding the issue of the day. He will vote for Gov. Hastings for Chairman of the State convention, and for Col. Gilkeson for Chairman of the State committee. With this business of the conven* tion over, nominations for county offices were in order, but owing to the feeling existing in the con- was deemed advisable to postpone this work until some future day. Several persons were placed in nomination for Sheriff, however, but all withdrew and the convention adjourned to meet in Dushore on Tuesday, September 3d, delegates present to hold over and make said nominations and select a standing committee etc. The delegates are as follows: BEUKTCB.-Dan Schoonover, R.

The midsummer reports from all commercial centres, to which more space is given than usual, are of es pecial interest, covering the ques tions on which the future of business depends. They indicate distinctly better crop prospects than other of ficial or commercial accounts, a mark ed increase in retail distribution of products, an active demand for goods, and a general enlargement of the working force, with some ad vance in tbe wages of more than a half a million hands. At the same time they show that the rapid ad vance in prices has somewhat check ed buying a few classes of products. In every part of the country the outlook for fall trade is considered bright,—Dun's Review. A horse owned by W. A. Kennedy of Laporte, while pasturing in a field close by the railroad track in the second ward, frightened at the loco motive on day last week and jumped the fence and ran ahead of the train to Ringdale, a distance of perhaps 8 miles. The horse in crossing cul verts and small bridges fell several times and the train was brought to a halt. The animal was caught at Ringdale and other than a few I scratches on its legs, came out of the fracas all o.k. A. T. Armstrong of Sonestown, contemplates erecting a saw mill at C'elestia this season. We are told that he will build a dam for use of saw logs at once. Ferman & Chase who are doing the courthouse yard, expect to receive the contract of buildiug the dam. ESTELLA ITEMS.

Brown, on Thursday next, George Warburton of Muncy Valley, formerly of Lincoln Falls, was looking after business interests in town, the forepart of this week. A party of young people from the city of Forksville tried to take in the Falls on Sunday last. Evidently their mothers did not know they were out. Country people seemed to be a great curiosity to them. If their driver goes back to college he better make application to a class where he can learn the A. B. C. of good manners. Hay is a light crop and the farm ers are mostly done in this section. Corn looks fine after the nice rains of the last few days. Sumner Rogers is rejoicing over the arrival of a young son. The young people gave a surprise party t.o Artist Hess on Monday evening; it being his nineteenth birthday. They were served with ice cream and cake. VERDANCY. COLLEY ITEMS.

Messer smith's barn; Sunday last, doing very little damage; spoiling one post and taking some shingles off of the roof. Geo. Landback's barn was de stroyed by fire last Saturday morn i lg. Cause nnknown. Tbe huckleberry pickers are do ing very poorly in this section. A very heavy thunderstorm passed over us last Sunday. Hay and oats are a good crop in this section this season.
