The Herald thinks that John D.
Reeser, the Republican candidate
for Associate Judge, is inferior in
every way to half a dozen gentle
man he names, whom the Republi
cans might have nominated. Does
any one think for a moment that
thi' nomination of any of them would
have suited Mr. Scouten? If the
nominee had been Mr. Kshinka, Mr.
Barns or Mr. Kilmer would not the
Herald have had the same spasms?
In this case it would have been the
superior qualifications of Mr. Reeser
that would have been exploited.
Every one knows this except those
so blind they will not see, or so deaf
that they will not hear. To take up
the same line of argument, compare
the standing, past and present of
Messrs. Litxclman and Roey (the
unsuccessful Democratic aspirants
for the nomination) with that of
Seouten's candidate. Stand the three
of them in line and a child can see
that the only way in which Seouten's
man stands head and shoulders above
them, is in his physical proportion.
We are told through the Herald that
Mr. Reeser has no fitness for the
place as he has spent his life selling
calico. The Herald can tell the
avocations of Mr. Walsh if it will,
and let the people judge which sta
tion of life best qualifies or disquali
fies the men for the office. We can't
see where Seouten's man has the
bulge in that direction.
Although Nelson Cox does not
seem to have much opposition he is
not one of the kind to be overreach
ed- He ami his friends are on the
alert for a fair Held and free vote.
There is no reason to doubt his elec
tion.
Do we want another machine As
sociate Judge to trump up a bill of
from SIMH) to $1,10(1 a year for less
than thirty days' service? From the
date of the incorporation of Sullivan
county up to the time that the greedy
gang took posessioti of the court
house the average annnual salary of
our associate judges was less that
#,•!")(». Your ballot is your defense
against that sort of jugglery."—
Seouten's Herald.
Was Conrad Kratis a "machine
judge? if so, what "machine?" lie
was certainly nominated and elected
on the regular Democratic ticket.
Did Conrad Kraus trump up a bill
and thereby get illegal Jfees? Scout
en's Herald insinuates thai; and
John (1. Scouten has been convicted,
by two Sullivan county juries, of
criminal libel therefor. Is not even
the grave -ale from his vile attacks?
Hon. Conrad Kraus was an honest,
honorable man, and a gentleman.
He did not hike one farthing from
the State more than he was entitled
to. lle died honest and beloved by
the people. Let him rest in peace.
Kven Seoul en will not venture to
assert openly in bis paper that John
I). Reeser, if elected, w ill take a dis
honest penny for his services.
If Seouten's candidate tloes not
take all he can get, he will not bean
[apt scholar «,f his money-making
| tutor.
—Brother Newell of the Sullivan
Review very truthfully says, "Mr.
Deininger is a man of line address
and appearance, a perfect gentleman
and one who could hang his hat on
the proper peg behind the door of
the prothonotary's olliee, open the
records at the proper place and be
gin work without any instructions,
and the public could rest perfectly
secure that there would be no mis
takes during his incumbency, and
that the records would be kept in a
perfectly legible manner, it is his
excellence and well recognized fit
ness for the place that has provoked
the enmity and vindictiveness of the
opposition, who are wasting valuable
breath and ink in maligning him,
which should be expended in praise
of their own candidate. Mr. Dein
inger and his friends ask only for
the same honorable and gentlemanly
treatment that has been accorded
his opponent, and trust that from
this date the Hglit will be fair, and
that the best man shall win."
AMERICAN FLAG ORDERED DOWN.
Yellow Journal 'Would not Allow the
American Flat; to Float from its Rool.
John Scouten, political boss, mid
editor of tilt* Herald, ordered the
American tla# taken from his build
ing Thursday morniing, where it
was being placed and draped in
mourning in honor of our late Chief
Magistrate William McKinley.
The News Item gets the details of
this outrage from one of the parties
who assisted in hanging the Hag
which was in these words: Mr.
Ntreby, editor of tlx 1 Gazette went
to Mr. Newell, editor of the Review,
Thursday morning of last week and
suggested that they swing a flag
across main street from their ofllces,
in honor of the dead President. It
met witli approval and a rope was
procured and one end made fast to
the top of the Review building and
arrangements were just being made
to swing the other end of the rope,
with the flag attached, to the top ot
the building occupied by the Gazette.
At this juncture Ross Hcouten, who
owns the building, in which Ids
Herald is also published, appeared
on the scene, and ordered the boys
down from the top of his building,
and then forbid the two newspaper
men to attach a rope to his building
under any circumstances, saying that
"when 1 want anything of that kind
done I will doit myself."
Reing men and Americans the two
gentlemen refused to submit to such
a dastardly outrage and at once pro
ceeded to attach the rope to the top
ofC. M. ('roll's building which ad
joins that of Scouten's, there the flag
was draped and swung to the breeze
where it floated triumphantly during
he day.
LAporte Honored the Memory of the Late
Prettident William Mckinley.
Thursday was a day of mourning
at the county seat. Flags at half
mast, the national colors heavily
draped floated in the breeze from
residences was much in evidence to
the sorrow felt. Business was sus
pended in the afternoon and the day
was as quiet as a Sabbath calm.
Memorial service was held in the
courthouse in the evening, presided
over by Judge Dunham. The court
room was completely tilled with
town and vicinity residents who
had gathered there to pay a filial
tribute to the memory of the late
Chief Executive of our nation. The
room was fittingly decorated and
draped. Mrs. K. M. Dunham pre
sided at the organ. Rev. Bradford
read a passage of scripture and offer
ed a touching prayer which was fol
lowed by a well prepared address
by Judge Dunham. Atty. E. J.
Mullen, was then called upon and
made an eloquent speech pay tribute
to the late President. Rev. Otho
Brant delivered a touching eulogy
on the marytercd Chief Magistrate,
and spoke of President McKinley as
above all else a represettative Amer
ican.
Death of Harry A, Karnß,
Harry Karns of Benton, formerly
of Laporte, passed peacefully away
at his parents home, Saturday after
noon at 12:30.
Harry had been suffering with
organic heart trouble for several
years, and although he had been
given the best of medical aid, the
inevitable could not be averted.
This was realized by himself and
friends; still, his sudden demise was
a shock to all, as the end was not
thought to be so near at hand.
The deceased was a young man
about U."> years of ;ige, highly respect
ed and well liked by all his associ
ates. He was the youngest son of
Hon. and Mrs. Russel Karns who
for many years resided at Laportc.
