"ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF LIBERTY.'
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.

The Campaißii Auninst Woodin.
From I lie l'liila. Inquirer.
'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.
