In the district there were 15)1 votes cast for Dunham ro jeoted, and 313 cast for Sittser re jected, in addition to which the Ist Ward i.i this borough, giving Sittser !1 majority, was thrown out because •he polling: place was changed with >ut an order of court. This gives Dunham a majority in the district of 177. On December 12th the court will convene to file its report and fix tho matter of costs, which will complete its work. Should the cost be placed on the counties, the county commissioners will probably be forced to levy a special tax for their payment, and each taxpayer will know just how much he has to pay in the matter.—Tunkhnnnock Jitp. "Bob' - Ingersol said in a speech a few years . go, 'T will not believe in a hell until Kentucky goes repub lican." Kentucky elected a Repub lican governor at the last election. Now we wonder if the great infidel will believe there is ahill ? lie de nied a hell because iie thought it im possible. He also thought it impos sible for Kentucky togo republican. The latter has proven '-Bob" a poor prophet. Will the former impossi bility (in the great agnostic's mind) become a reality ? By such little incidents as this the drift of a man's mind has changed. It was an inci dent like this that called Saul of Tarsus from slaying Christians and made him Paul, the great apostle to the Gentiles. But we fear this event will have 110 weight 011 the skeptical mind of Robert; and he will goon telling the "Mistakes of Moses."— Ex. The result of the recent election in Sullivau county is a reminder that the young men of our county are considering tho weight of their buliotand have come to tbeconclusion that there is more wisdom in voting for bread for the table nud clothing for their children than to continue to vote the Democratic ticket be cause their fathers did so. The National issues of to-day are not the -ante as thirty years ago. The Re publican and Democratic platforms of to-day only diiler on the tarifl' question. The former advocates that a duty shall be levied 011 foreign goods shipped and sold in this coun try, while the latter takes kindly to our mother country and permits her goods to enter the United states free of duty. During the Republi can administration this duty furnish ed ample means to keep the wheels of our government in motion. Since 189.', our government has run be- I hind several million dollars. Which ■a the better platform ? Just received a complete line of gents and youths overcoats. Cull mid examine them, we are positive our prices will meet your approval. The quality of our goods are the best in the market. T. J. KEELER. rauuot. liuiirimon lor FiueM. Judge Hare, in the court of quar ter in Philadelphia, on Sat urdij- rendered au important decision i.i the habeas corpus case brought by Julia I-'ny for release from the county prison. Fay was fined 810 by Magistrate Sleviu, on September 2:! d last for peddling charcoal in the "treats without a license, and com mitted to prison in default of the line. In overturning the magistrate's decision, commitment, nnd sustain ing Jaseph L. T ill. attorney for the (Intense, Judge Hare said the line in I Mich it c:isi; was only a debt to the i city, and the Commonwealth had no I right to imprison the man tor debt. | The judge suid that if the city want jed to collect the mony they should not do it by putting a man in prison, i but sue him for it. Prisoner Fay j was consequently discharged from 1 custody. Election mid the Tar III". The Buffalo Express a Republican paper says: "Thb Republican sue cess in New York this year can be called more distinctly a tariff victory than was that of last year or two .years at{o. While the Republicans deserved popular indorsement on State issues, there was certainly nothing in these to call out such an enormous vote. The issue of Hill ism rtrid Maynardism may properly be held to have warranted the great outpouring of last year, but those issues cut little figure this year. So far as the State ticket was concerned ihe Cleveland Democrats worked as hard for the Democratic candidates as the Hill men did. The Demo crats were badly divided on lpcal candidates, to be sure, but this should have increased, rather than 1 issened the vote on the State ticket. It is noteworthy, too, that the lie publican victory was won this year in the country among the farmers, where Hillisro and Tammanyism are !>ut little understood. The Repub licans went to Harlem Bridge with ihe astonishing plurality of 1-14,000. Last year, in an election (or Gov-1 ernor, thev took down to the Bronx but 137,000. Two years ago, the victory was won practically by Buf falo and Brooklyn, the country vote barely offsetting the Democratic majority on Manhattan Island. It may be concluded that a very large proportion of the men who voted the Republican ticket this year did so with the determination to remain Republicans permanently. Thej have had all they want of democratic rule. The farmers who have been selling potatoes at fifteen cents a bushel, wool at ten cents a pound and wheat at fifty cents a bushel had most to do with winning this tri umph. Times have been growing worse and worse among these men with each new year of Democratic policies, and this accounts for the evorincreasing numbers in which they are flocking to the Republican standard. They want the MeKinlov law restored, ' if the county remains Democratic some heroic measures must bo tak en." These were the words of Geo. Streby in the .Onshore Gazette, pub lished in his issue, of Nov, 7tli. It would appear that some of his Dem ocratic friends have taken exceptions to this article aud last week the Gazetk contained an article purport ing that all is harmony in the Dem ocratic ranks and that a num ber of Democrats hud been interview fd and all was quiet and hopefui on the Potomac. Now, the truth of the matter is, Streby was right, he says:"lt 1- vcry evident that there is something wrong somewhere. What are the causes ot our defeat '! \\ hat can be lone to s'.em the tide which has set •11 against the Democratic party 111 Sullivan county?'' The article in the Gaz tie lasts week vould like to havo covered up the words of Mr. Strcby,but that is iin possible, they were too forcible and j true to be cast aside. The people „112 Sullivan, like Mr. Streby, are sat isfied that our county will give a Republican majority in 18i)6. The j farmers and laboring people are sat-1 isfied that Democratic ruling is dis astrous to their business, and why -hould they support the party, know ing this fact 'i Harrison l>euie* It. New York, Nov. 17.—Ex-Presi dent Harrison denies that he has had an attack of the South African mining fever. He was seen to-night at the Filth Avenue Hotel and was asked concerning a reported fortun ate speculation in South African stocks, whereby, it was said, lie had realized SIOO,OOO ou an investment of SSOO, General Harrison said: ••When I make investments I will make them myself. Naturally, in vestments are of a private nature and a man does not always tell every one what he does with his money, but I deny having made any invest ments in South African mines or having received any check as the proceeds of such investments. There is no truth whatever iu any state ments that have boon published." Foil SALE: —Four buggies, two buck boardn. one our horse lumber wagon. two on.'-horse lumber wagons. Hand made n::d brand new.

Our Judtre j se«ms to be a favorite on the bench and is kept busy a good part of the 1 time. A party of thirteen young people of town took a drive over to Mr. S.

Holmes' Counsel in u liail I'lighl Philadelphia, Nov. 18,—The argu ment for a new trial for the convict ed murderer, I). 11. Holmes, was heard to-day in the Court of Oyer aud Terminer, and this remarkable case furnished another sensation. One of the counsel for the prisoner produced an affidavit in court alleging to show that Pitezel, the murdered man, contemplated suicide. Amidst the silent amazement of the specta tors and the shocked astonishment of tho court, District Attorney Gra ham proved the affidavit to be false and showed that Mr. Shoemaker, the attorney for Holmes who offered ii had paid the woman who ?wore to it S2O for doing so. Shoemaker was -to overcome by this exposure that he could make no explanation and at the conclusion of the argument he was hold in 81,500 bail by the court to an-wer to the charge of suborna tion of perjury. Holmes was in court during the argument and tie has foiled percep tibly in looks since his trial. lie has lost the prison bleach which paled liis check and a hectic flush lias taken i'.s place. His eyes wore bloodshot ami dark rings around theiu told of anxious days and night-;, ilis manner was not as cool and un concerned as it was during his trial and he showed an almost feverish intc-est in the proceedings. As formerly, however, he retained his and tootc notes of the District Attorney's argument and prompted his lawyer during his address. The argument consumed the en tire day and the court reserved its decision, but from the questions ask ed by tho J udgc it poems certain a new trial will be refused. Toaclii'W' i»oe»I Institute.
