Cott of Piatt, and Miss Elizabeth M. McCarty of Eidreds ville were married by Rev. J. W. Klingler in the Lutheran parsonage at Dushore, Friday, (K-toher 25. —Milton Botsford of Nordmont, was a business man in Ijaporte, Wednesday. He is confident that the Republican vote In his sec tion is solid for the ticket from top to bottom. That's sensible. A. L. Smith's l»oast that he has plenty of money with which to de feat the Republican candidates, strikes this community as a decided bit of nerve. Scouten's confidential adviser and balance wheel for West ern Sullivan, appears ,to be losing caste among his fellow citizens, and cries aloud his only strength for win ning votes. We fancy this will not ia« a very effective vote maker, how ever. Myrtle Mlller,daughter of James Miller, of Muney Vail ley, is ill with typhoid fever at the w illiamsport Hospital. Miss Miller is a trained nunte and was uursing at Montgom ery when she was stricken with fever. —Fictitious fears and false fore boding: over Quay constitutes the Sullivan Herald's entire stock in trade. It says the real issue in the county is to down Quay. It is un qualifiedly false. The Herald's real issue is to elect Boss Scouten's ticket and is using the Quay dodge to fool the weak. It does not require much mental vigor to satisfy any one that Quay's defeat or success does not de pend upon Sullivan county, by big odds, but that a united Republican vote for the entire ticket means much to the party and its future. We believe there will be no biting off the nose to spite the face in this campaign. The Herald Is only a wind bag easily punctured. —lf there is any one in Shunk corresponding to the Herald who thinks the Republicans in this county have a boss like the Democrats, let him confer with any of the delegates to our last or any previous conven tion. Our candidates were nomina ted by the popular choice of the del egates, which is more than the Dem ocrats can say of their nominees. As to those "Estellaites" as the Herald calls the Republicans of Elk land whom Scouten claims to own, we are reliably informed do not rel ish such misrepresentation as was given them in the Herald last week. They do not intend to be hoodwink ed by any foolish campaign dodge that comes from the pen of Boss Scouten, and we feel safe in saying that the vote next Tuesday will show that demagogue boss how much faith they have in his mud slinging,mouth piece journal. —A prominent Democratic worker living near Forksville, whose name we defer publishing at this time, stated to an influential Republican that if candidate W.C. Rogers would promise to support John Scouten for reinstatement to practice law at the Bar, that he (Boas Scouten) would make no further tight against Mr. Rogers and thus insure his election. If you can believe a Scoutenito, then it must be true that Scouten has tried to wipe up the floor with his hopeless, pet candidate Jacob Meyers and throw him over the ropes in the name of safety, to make sure of be ing reinstated to practice law, at the Bar where his conduct was such as to necessitate his disbarment,by making a deal of this kind with the Repub lican candidate. Not many boss politicians would play as scurvy a trick as this. Scouten must begin to realize that he is beaten and is will ing to resort to any dirty deal. Shunk, Pa., Oct., 27, 1900. To Editor of News Item. My attention has been called to an article published in the "Herald" bearing the date Oct. 24, 1900, stat ing that I had contended for the ap pointment of a Democrat to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge Krause. I desire to state that the article is erroneous as I myself had been a candidate for said appointment. I perhaps might have said something after the appointment had been made that might have been con strued to show my disapointment. I, for reply, say I was not entirely pleased, but it all came through a misunderstanding which has been satisfactorily explained ami I now stand where I have always stood, for the nominees of the convention. Very truly yours A. B. Kilmer. —The Sullivan Herald gave prom inence to anonymous communica tions, Inst week, signed "a Republi can" in its editorial columns, attack ing Representative J. L. Christian in a false manner because his friends and party followers are supporting him in his re-nomination, (anit be possible that Boss Scouten is com pelled to write communications to himself. We believe he has done it, and if we are mistaken, we demand that the names of the corresjiondents l»e given as proof, so that the com munity may judge if they are what they sign themselves"Republicans." We feel safe in saying that Boss Scouten dot's not dare publish the corres|H>ndents' names as we believe the communications came to the Herald through one of those dreams of Scouten's when hes»«es himself dic tator of the Sullivan county courts and boss of our Representative in Ocneral Assembly, To whom it may concern. This is to certify that no pcr scrlption calling for spiritous, viuous or malt lliiuor*, from l>r. Christian, either ill his own handwriting or (tearing his signature or initials, has, within the last three months, nor to the bent of my knowledge and reccolection, in the last four year*, lieen tilled at the Korksville Phar macy, nor has any such been pre sented for tilling.
