LAPORTE, I'ENNA., THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1898. Political Pointers. The gait at which Folk and Walsh are running has as yet not resulted in any demand that they be rigged out with fenders. + t + It was the same favoritism shown at the Democratic supper in town last week that protruded in the con vention which named the Demo cratic ticket. There seems to be too kinds of Democrats, the ordinary and the extraordinary. t t t J. L. Christian is a popular young doctor and will discharge the duties of Member with dignity and honor. Vote for him, and sustain the good name of Sullivan county in sending able men to the Legislature. t t t Return "Win. J. Lawrence to the office of I'rothonotary and you will have this important station well filled for another term. It is not good policy to put green men in this office every new term. It hasn't ever been done nor will it be this time. Vote for him. tt t t < >ne of the questions now pressing upon us is how to provide govern ments for these islands that have fell into I'ncle Sam's possession through the successful results of war, and secure continued prosperity to all our people. Only that party should be intrusted with it that has shown itself most capable of dealing with great affairs. Both in peace and in war, the Republican party has pro ven equal to every emergency, and the record it has made is a guarantee that it will meet these ijroblems of the future and solve them with the same triumphant success that has attended it in all its brilliant career. The work is already in the hands of President McKlnley. What he wants is the support of a House of Representatives. Win. 11. Wootlin is the candidate who star, j pledged to sustain the President in all his moves to these great ends. Let your vote be one that sends him to Wash ington. t+ + + The popularity of 11. W. Osier, candidate for Sheriff, grow s with the people as the campaign advances, and it should. He is a man of sobriety and good business qualities, and wherever he goes he is sized up las a man of sterling worth. It is seldom that an opportunity of plac ing the business of the sheriff's office in such capable hands presents itself. Vote for him, he should be elected, tt t t There will be a strong effort made in the next legislature to tix the minimum school term at eight months. Pennsylvania is shamefully low in school records compared with other states that are producing great men and women. Dr. Christian is a man who j knows* how to value an education and will exercise his able influence and judgment in this direc tion for the best interests of*his_'eon stitucnts. Send him to llarrisburg by all means. +t t t The fact that Win. J. Lawrence has been honored with a renomina tiou is recognition of the fact that he has discharged the duties of his office I with credit, lie was found worthy the support of many Democrats three years ago, while today his worth i recognized by all regardless of party, as he has served the whole people in most efficient manner and not found wanting. Such men have heretofore i been returned to the office after the first term. Vote for him, and do unto this gentleman likewise. Voters are making statements to the effect that we need speech makers to send to Washington. Who else was it but W. H. Woodin who ap | peared before a convention in this place and made a plain, sensible and I pointed speech, indicating why it was incumbent upon the party at this period to place a strong Repub lican Congress behind the back of the President. Woodin is more than a bag of wind, commonly called ora tors; he is a man of mind and judg | nient and his "talk" shows it. (Jive ! him a rousing vcfte and insure his I election. A Unique Marriage Ceremony. 31 r. F. Fairman and Miss Rose Glldewell, hoth of Davidson town ship, made tin assignment of their love and appointed eachother receiv ers before .1 IK1«-«* Herring last week. It was these sad October days which puts a ragged edge on life that found Fairman dreaming of bis fair Rose and in this trying 'exigency, like Micawber, was simply waiting idly for something to turn up, when love found him out. In such mat ters there always is a way and in this case it led to Hloonisburg where a marriage license was procured and upon receiving it expressed a desire to have the felicitous noose jerked into a knot at once. There being no Justice of the Peace at hand and Judge Herring happening to lie pass ing along the street at the time, was called in. lie united the happy couple in the presence of a large number of interested spectators and when the groom handed him a V. the Judge turned and gave it to the blushing bride with his best wishes.

'l'liey do not nee into be making- much headway in their t against young Mr. Woodin ii|> in the Seventeenth t'ongrei-- sionul district, ami there is an excellent reason why. In fact there are two or three reasons. The first is that even under the severest construction ot the law it is not a crime not to have attained the aire of eigh ty or ninety. I fit were the great majority of our citizens would he in jail. A second reason is thai it is not an oflense for a man to give employment to many hund reds of men. I'.very eflort to use the latter argument against a man in this.State has tailed. The man of means who puts those means in a great plant for the double purpose of employing his capital at a fair profit and at the same time giving .work to lahor is the last man in the world, assuming- that he deals fairly with his men, for laboring men to oppose. Mr. Woodin should pray that his en emies keep up their present cry that he is an employerol lahor. It will win out —• lor him.
