GENTLEMEN:—The courtesy;kind
[ ness and generosity extended to
me on the sth inst., calls for some
■ expression of gratitude. Words,
however, are inadequate to voice
what I feel, and the deep npprecia
' lion of your confidence can be better
and more adequately attested in the
■ performance of the duties of the
office to which you have called me.
Refraining from personalities dur
ing the entire campaign it is not my
purpose now lo resent or even give
passing notice to the affronts thrust
upon me; for our eloquent refutation
of all unjust, calumniator}' assertions
has been made at the great Bar of
popular justice—the Polls. The
memory of all unpleasant statements
has been obliterated by the great
success achieved; and I desire to
solemn!}- affirm that men of every
parly and every condition will icceive
at our hands the most corteoue, con
siderate treatment.
Again thanking the men who have
thus honored me and assuring them
[ that Hl3- honest effort will be in the
direction of a faithful, conscientious
discharge of my official duties.
I remain yours very sincerely,
W. J. LAWRENCE.
Charged Willi Pergcry,
Yesterday John Smith of Muncy
was brought to this city and taken
before Alderman Finley by Consta
ble Feigles, on the charge of perjury
in connection with the recent suit of
Hess vs W. <fc N. B. 11. R. company
in which the plaintiff was awarded
SIO,OOO for the loss of her husband
who was killed by an engine of the
defendant near Montgomery. Smith ,
was remanded to jail to await a fur»
ther hearing. (
Smith was one of the chief witnes
ses for the plaintiff, and in bis testis
mony stated that ho was in the cab
of the engine at the time of the acci
dent, that the whistle was not blown
ts the engine approached the cross
ing at which the accident occurred,
and also that there were no lights
on the tender which struck the wag
on and killed its occupant. The
defence has the testimony of the en
gineer and the conductor of the train
who state that Smith wa9 not in the
cab at the time and of two other
witnesses who were on the tender
and who say that they did not see
Smith on the engine. These witnes
ses will be present at the hearing.
Messrs. H. C. and T. S. McCormick,
counsel for the defense, yesterday
made a motion for a new trial in the
case.— Gazette and Jiulletin

Notice.
We are requested to notify all witnesses
in this county who were called in the
judicial content to prepare a statement of
liic r time and mileage and send it at once.
All witnesses on the Dunham side may
send their statements to F. H. Ingham,
K-i|., Laporte, and all witnesses on the
Hittner may send their statementi) to
J. J. Scouten Esq., Dushore. All state*
ments must be file"l before December 12tli.
iiH that is the date fixed by the court to de
cide upon the costs finally. Remember
the-e statements must give the number of
days in attendance as witnesses, and the
number of miles traveled.
It ia remarked that the officials of
the Pendicost Lumber cofhpany nt
Elk Grove, were quite interested in
tbe welfare of one of the candidates
on the Democtntie ticket. They did
some effective work as the voto in
Jamison will show. j
There were a couple of mistakes in
our election tabic last week, hence
we republish it this week. Dnshore
borough was made to read 141 in
the Haywood column and Elkland
93. This should have been reversed.
In raising the form these type fell
out and the mistake was made in the
attempt to replace them.
With the 1896 Presidential election
over, Sullivan county will bo placed
in the Republican column. The
leaders of the Democratic party con
cede this. Had the voters of Lopez
turned out as they did one year ago
we would have carried the day at
the recent election. The neglect of
this vote being out, was awful bad
politics on the part of somebody.
There were only 155 votes polled in
Lopez on Nov. 5, as against nearly
300 in 1894.

William Kirk Betts vs Lehigh

Williamsport and North Branch
Railroad company is the title of a
summons in trespass recently filed
in the Prothonotary's oflice. Col.
E. Overton, Esq., and William Max
well, Esq., arc the plaintifl's attor
neys, and damages in the sum of
$50,000 arc asked for the loss ol his
right foot in June, 1594.
Mr. Betts is a son of X. N. Betts,
cashier of the First national bank, and
is bookkeeper for John Howe, ol
Ulster, taking the 6:25 train every
morniug togo to his work. On
Tuesday morning, June 26, 1894, he
reached Washington street just as
the train began to pull out, and in
running to catch it reached the track
just as the W. & N. B. passenger
train, going in the opposite direction
ran down to the station. The young
man was struck by the locomotive,
received a scalp wound and was
draged some rods before the traiu
was stopped.
When picked lip by persons who
rushed to his assistance it was found
that his right foot was completely
cut off, leaving the member in the
shoe. It is claimed that proper
warning of the approach of the train
was not given, and that one train
had no light to run up to the station
until the other had pulled out.—
Towanda Review.
Among the curiosities that arrived
in Dushore on Thursday of last week
was a very large beet draped in
mourning and ears of more than or
dinary length attached to it. A lit
tle skunk greese rubbed on it would
not have been out of place. It
was expressed to F. Newell
the proprietor of the Dushore
vie to, in memory of the recent elecs
tion. This specie of a "dead beat"
came from the direction of Towanda
and wasn't boxed. Arch Garey who
deliveres the express in Dushore
carried it through the streets of the
metropolis and all who desired were
given a peep at the curiosity. The
express charges were 25c, delivery,
10 cents.
Our news columns to-day will
show the result of the election held
on Tuesday last, which was generally
disastrous to the Democrats through
the country. Even Kentucky goes
Republican by a small mnjoritj'. In
this county the Republicans have a
majority on County Treasurer of
about 275, and on the State ticket of
nearly 400. One third of the Dem
ocratic vote, probably, was not out
in this oounty, which accounts for
the big Republican majority. Our
candidates for District Attorney and
County Surveyor are elected with
out opposition. Until Democrats in
this oounty conclude to come out to
election there will be no success for
Democratic candidates.— Tunkhan ■
gock Democrat.
Wyoming county lias given a Re
publican mnjority on the State ticket
for the past six or eight years and
on each occasion Bro. Day of the
Democrat has claimed that the Dem
ocratic vote was not out. This will
be poor consolation for even Bro,
Day after awhile.
Who handled tbo reins in Forks
vilio borough ou election day T TLoy
say that A. L. Smith and M. It.
Black had a band in it. Its too bad
wo couldn't have had a half dozen
Smiths and Blacks in the county.
They surely would have elected the
entire Republican ticket. Mose is
shrewd and far sighted. But what
can Swank say of Gus ?
Henry E. Eawcett the defeated
Republican candidate for Sheriff, is
an honest, upright man, but ho will
go down in history as being the
poorest political worker ever placed
on the Republican ticket. Had be
called on the voters of the county
and made anything of a fight for bis
success, be would have won easilly.
He visited Laporte twice during the
campaign and on botb occasions
stopped at a private house. Now,
whether his love for paving money
or bis love for the people he stopped
with, prompted him to take this
course, we are not prepared to say,
but if this was his mode of cam
paigning throughout the entire coun
ty, we are only surprised that lie gave
liis opponent such a close shave.
Yes, Henry E. Fawcett should retire
from politics, now and forever; he
hasn't the nerve of a successful poli
tician.
Those of our Sullivan county
Democratic friends who refuse to
consider the hard times of a couple
years past and place the cause on the
present administration, will do well
to study the recent vote of old Ken
tucky State. She elected a Repub
lican Governor by a handsome ma
jority, When the Democrats of the
Southern states cut lose from De
mocracy, it is high time for our peo
ple to give it consideration. The
people of Kentucky have quit hide
bound party politics and are giving
their own personal welfare a thought.
Why should we follow the rut that
our Southern friends hare forsaken ?
The members of the Republican
party are not a wicked lot of people.
They are just as good neighbors as
are the Democrats, in short, we are
human and we are sure that you
ought not to tolerate that hatred for
the name (Republican) as to cause
you to do that which is against your
own interest. Come over in 18!>0
ind lets help to bring the good times
of a Republican administration. You
certainly must be convincod of the
times of threo years f>nst. Can they
be any worse? You have a year to
consider, think it over and vote your
convictions and there will be no fear
as to the result.

The judicial content court has con
cluded its labors and awarded the
election to E. JH. Dunbam, whoso
majority is increased to 129. There
were COO votes thrown out iu all ou
the ground of bribery and other
causos. 250 of these . were taken
from the Dunham column and 350
from Siltser, leaving and increased
majority for Dunham of 100. But
for the votes thrown out by election
officers which wero marked for Judge
Sittser in Wyoming county, and the
same class of votes counted forjudge
Dunham in Sullivan county, there
would have been no contest.—Wy
oming Democrat.
The above from the Wyoming
Democrat is so maliciously false and
misleading tbat we feel constrained
to state the facts once more. In its
desire to let itself down easy the
truth has been ignored.
In the first place Judge Dnnham's
majority is not 149 but 177. In the
second place not GOO votes but 539
were rejected. Third, not 250 but
191 votes were rejected from Judge
Dunham's column. The 350 from
Judge Sittsers column is about
right, the exact number being 348.
Fourth, Judge Dunham's increased
majority is not 100 but 148. The
latter part of the article is, however,
the capsheaf of the false statements.
No suoli methods of counting were
found. The practice was uniform
in both counties and where the bal
lots made the voter's intentiou plain
it was so counted. Now, Day, don't
try to crawl out, but own up like a
man tbat it was merely a fishing ex
pedition and you met with the pro
verbial ''fisherman's luck."

II the I Onnly Remain* Demo

Must be Taken.
A large vote was polled in all sections of
the county except in Lopez where the vole
was very light.
Morgan Gavitt polled a big vote in the
Southern end of the county Ills defeat
is due to the slump in Dushore, Cherry
and Bernice. * * * It is a sad state of
affairs when the Democratic party can no
longer elect its entire ticket in Sullivan Co.
when it place? in nomination as good a
ticket as it had this fall. It is very evident
that there is something wrong somewhere.
What are the causes of our defeat ? What
can be done to stem the tide which has set
in ngainst the Democratic party in Sullivan
county 1
If the county is to remain ia the Demo
cratic column, some heroic measures must
be taken. The party must be reorganized.
The rank and file of the party must be
made to feel that they all stand on equal
grounds before the party. Democratic
politics has reached a pitch where a few
men cannot dictate to the voters. ** «
Important officers are to be elected nest
fall: Two Associate Judges, three County
Commissioners and a Representative are to
be chosen, and if the Democrats wish to
win they must do better work than they
have been doing of late years.—Dushore
Gazette.
It Mr. Streby can suggest any way
by which 4i to stem the tide which
has set in against the Democratic
party in Sullivan county," his service
will not only be sought in Sullivan
county, but in every county anil
state in the Union. The tide lias
been going in this direction for sev
eral years, during which time nearly
every Democratio Statesman and
politician in the United States have
given it their lime and thought with
reference to "steming the tide," but
with no avail.
Yes, Streby, were you to suggest
something that will "stem the tide."
in this direction you will have invent
ed a remunerative patent, and one
much sought after by your Demo
cratic brethren. Wo have poor
hopes of your success, however.
