It Stares us in the face that
the outstanding obligation of
Sullivan County on the Ist of
January 1902, amounted to
$63,433,48, as follows:
Bonds 838,000.00
1 merest bearing 0rder5.20.052.90
Judgements. 5,380.49
Total 8ti3.433.48
The Sullivan Gazette says: ''Sup
pose the question of the taxes
should come tip as it did last win
ter \s lien the present board of com
missioners met with the attorneys
of the Union Tanning Co.. time
after time, in regard to the assess
ment of the Co's. timber lands iti
Sullivan county.'"
The editor of the Gazette seems
to be well informed: will he now
goon and tell his readers what was
the result of these meetings of the
county commissioners with the at
torneys of the Union Tanning Co.
time after time?
We have been informed by one
of the assessors that at the trienn
ial assessment, all the assessors of
the county met at Laporte, and at
the request of the Commissioners,
assembled in the Grand Jury room
to lix a valuation on the unseated
lands. They agreed unanimously
to assess the stripped lands at two
dollars per acre, and the timbered
lands at twenty dollars per acre,
and reported this agreement to the
Commissioners, who seemed well
satisfied with it. Afterwards the
Commissioners reduced the valua
tion on the timbered lands to
twelve dollars per acre. Now let
the well informed editor tell the
tax payers what influences were
brought to bear on the Commission
ers by the attorneys of the Union
Tanning Co., to take off two-fifth
of the valuation put on their tim
bered lands by the assessors of the
county. Two of these Commiss
ioners were Democrats and neither
one of them was running" a black
smith shop or a store.
What assurance have we that
the present nominees of the Demo
cratic convention will not be influ
enced by the Attorneys of the Un
ion Tanning Co. in the same man
ner.
F.dttor Newell of the Review, no
tices our article which shows the
steady increase of the county debt,
and makes it the occasion to refer
to his prophecy that the grandfather
of Ihe child is yet unborn who will
live to see the debt paid. He is such
a good prophet that we invite him
to make another. Let him now tell
us whether the debt will increase or
diminish during the term of the
three Commissioners the people will
elect this fall.
The disastrous condition of affairs
that followed democratic tariff re
form in contrast with the unpreced
ented prosperity of republican rule
presents an issue that does not require
argument. \Y. K. Lord whose name
appears on our ticket for the short
term in Congress will be the man to
elect to insure a continuance of this
industrial progress. Give him your
►uppwrt. He is needed in Congress.
"1 believe it proper for every one
elected to a place of trust to exercise |
his own ideas of duty after having I,
counciled with all parties interest- i
ed."—Roger's Convention Speeth: j|
By this are we to understand that I
on the Franchise bill (which Scouten J
says was the most villianous legisla- ji
tion ever passed in this country) Mr. I
Rogers deemed it hlsduty to consult
those interested before casting his
vote? What party in interest did he I
consult after voting for the amend- |
ment to kill the bill and what were |
the arguments used to make him
vote against all other amendments |
and for the bill on final passage?
We ask the voters of Sullivan
county whether they propose to elect
a man whose record on a corporation |
bill is, that first he was opposed to J
it.and then leaving the Legislative
Hall for a few minutes changed his
mind and give his vote along with
Corporate interests. If he did this
once would he not do it again? Can
he be trusted? Let honest Demo
crats and Republicans answer this
by voting for Albert L. Dyer.
In the news columns of the Phil
delphia Press appears the following
article from a Harrisburg corres
pondent. which has a particular
interest to Sullivan county voters:
'•The State Legislative Board
of Railroad Employees on Sept. 2.
passed resolutions denouncing Gen.
Gobin for ordering his men to tire
on the striking miners who assault
ed them, denouncing the Coal trust
and pledging t]ie striking miners
support and assistance. The com
mittee to examine the records
of legislative candidates seek
ing re-election endorsed the fol
lowing candidates: J. \V. Wayne
(Dent.)Leliigh; Patrick Philbin.
(Rep.) Lackawanna; R. W. Mc-
Whinney( Rep. )Allcgheny; W. T.
Creasy (Dem.) Collintbia: Jere X.
Weiler (Soc) Carbon; Louis Marr,
(Union) Phila.; .1. M. Hunter,
[Dem.] Schuylkill: A. .1. Palm
[ltem] was endorsed for Senator
in Crawford district and Fred. A.
Godcliarles ( Rep.) for Congress in
the Seventeenth district. Pattison
was endorsed for Governor because
of the forty-live members present,
about thirty were democrats and
t lie majority outvoted the others."
In this is shown the absence of
the name of E. G. Rogers whom
Scouten would have us believe is a
friend to labor. These resolutions
come from a body of representative
citizens of whom a majority were
democrats and are the final results
of the deliberation and research of
the leading labor organization of
the state who have appealed to the
Legislature for assistance and in
consequence have learned their true
friends and those pretending. This
i nas a distinctive clearness of their
I disapproval of E.G. Roger's doings
in the legislature and shows that in
him they got no assistance. This
endorsement coming from the sour
ce it does is highly appreciated by
lion. Fred. A. Godcliarles and no
greater compliment can be paid
him.
Scouten. Democratic Chairman,
does not like ex-sheriff Osier and
of course tries to be-little him. lie
thinks that by saying that Sheriff
Osier is running Dyer's campaign
he will leave the impression that
Mr. Osier will hurt Dyer and in
this belittle Osier. He also hopes
jto stir up any feeling there may be
against Osier to harm Dyer. A
scheme so apparent, cannot do any
harm and the whole thing was bas
ed on the fact that Sheriff Osier
and "Albert Dyer met on the street
in Dushore and shook hands. Al
bert Dyer is capable and is run
ning bis own campaign.
The Herald says Albert Dyer is
a good fellow but was nominated
by a machine convention. Repub
licans need not be fooled by such
trash. Albert Dyers name was the
only name before the convention.
He had the unanimous vote of the
convention and was every body's
choice because he is a good fellow,
the friend of the farmer, the labor
er. the merchant and the profess
ional matt, and Scouten k;iowsthis
and fears him accordingly.
Scouten is dowu on Christian.
How long before he will be down
on Christianity? He is pinched by
the Commandment "Thou shalt
not bear false witness againt thy
neighbor."'

THE LEAGUE OF CLUUS
The Convention at Erie This Week
and Some of Its Novel Features.
The State League of Republican
Clubs, which is holding its annual
convention in Krie this week, is one
of the most unusual gatherings of its
kind ever assembled within the bor
ders of the state. The attendance is
larger, as indicated by the number of
special trains engaged than ever be
fore in the history of the league. The
enthusiasm is greater because of the
novelties that have been introduced
into the campaign.
Perhaps the most striking of these
Is a great ball marked with Pennsyl
vania's record of Republican patriot
ism and carrying the pictures of
Presidents McKinley and Roosevelt,
Judge Pennvpacker and the Republi
can candidates of this year, which 1s
being taken to Krie on a special car
p.rd from there is to he rolled back
wards across the state to Philadel
phia. The idea, which was evolved
from the fertile bruin of a coanle of
Philadelphia Republicans. Joseph M.
Hilton and J. Hampton Moore, city
treasurer of Philadelphia, is that nt
the border of each county a number
of Republicans representing that coun
ty shall take the ball in charge, roll
it along the highways to the borders
of the adjoining county, where it will
in turn pass Into other hands, and BO
on through the state.
It is expected that this novel spec
tacle will attract thousands to the
line of the ball's progress and excite
universal enthusiasm among the He
publicans of the state.
Read This, Republicans.
This contest is no mere local affair.
It is national in its scope. A victory
for Democracy in Pennsylvania would
send a shiver along the spinal column
of the Republican party of the United
States. Twice lias Mr. Pattison been
elected governor, and twice, at the suc
ceeding national elections, has a Demo
crat occupied the White House. We
all remember with what dire results
the last Cleveland administration was
accompanied. We had the soup house
where those who were turned from the
doors of the closed mills were driven
for food. The Inquirer opened dis
tributing depots for bread, and for
weeks yes. for months —the distri
bution continued. This was what the
folly of the people in electing a Demo
cratic president made necessary.
Could we look with confidence to a
continuation of prosperity under a new
Democratic administration? By no
means. One experience of that dis
mal sort is enougn. Then why invite
disaster by turning" Pennsylvania over
to the Democrats and sending a chili
throughout the Union? —Philadelphia
Inquirer.
