    REPUBLICAN NEWS ITEM.
V CHAftLES L WING, Editor.
Published Every:, Thursday Afternoon
By The Sullivan Publishing Co.
At the County Seat of Sullivan County.
IiAPORTE. PA.
Entered at the Post Office at Laporte, an
second-class mail matter.
We are informed that some read
ers of the Item were of opinion that
the article upon the county debt
formed a part of the campaign liter
ature. This is a great mistake. The
county debt is not a political ques
tion, nor do we intend to agitate the
subject for any political purpose
whatever. The News Item does in
tend to take keen interest in the fi
nancial affairs of the county. The
past is past but the future is before
us. We have no unkind words for
former commissioners and certainly
none for those now elected. Messrs.
Vonkin, Biggar, and Gahan are men
of intelligence and honesty and each
has a substantial interest in the
county. We mean to aid them if
they take hold determindely to di
minish the present debt. If they do
not, we are equally determined to
criticise their actions.
A large part of the increase of the
debt has been occasioned by buying
iron bridges at extravagent prices.
We expect the new board of com
missioners will go slow on - iron
bridges. There are other economies
which can be made and we look for
careful watchfulness all along the
line. Every year the hemlock for
est-. now being assessed at sl2 per
acre are being stripped, and the val
uation going down while the debt
increases. We expect that the new
Board will insist that the Union
Tanning Co. and other owners of
timbered lands will help pay this
debt, ann not leave it (when the
hemlock is all gone) as a heavy bur
den on our farmers and business
men.
There is a grave doubt whether
all our county debt is legal. We ex
pet t the new Board to carefully test
that question by competent legal ad
vice, and we warn them now that
they best go slow on conferring
judgements or signing interest bear
ing orders for borrowed money.
And further we wish to say to the
new Board not to be afraid to spend
enough time to do the county work
properly. Some ignorant people
think it is the best Board of Com
missioners which puts in the fewest
days. But that is not our idea. If
the new commissioners will give as
close attention to the business of the
county as they would to their own
business, every day so spent is valua
ble to the tax payers. Take every
day necessary, do the work your
selves, understand every contract,
know the fact about every bill, and
at the end of the year charge the
county for every day spent in its
service. The money will be well
earned and no intelligent tax pay
er will kick. This is enough to out
line a few of the notions at hand and
we can assure our readers that the
Item is going to keep the closest
watch on county affairs and speak
out its mind regardless of any person
or any party.
11 KILLED WATCHING RETURNS
People Blown to Pieces In New York
Ey Premature Explosion.
New York, Nov. s.—By a series of
explosions of pyrotechnic bombs and
oUier fireworks night among the
vast multitude gathered in Madison
Sfpiare to witness the ascension of an
air ship and the display of the elec
tion returns 11 persons were killed out
right, many being blown almost to
pieces and at least 50 injured, many
of them fatally.
It is estimated that at least 30,000
persons thronged the square at the
time of the explosions, which were suc
ceeded by a frightful panic in which
hundreds were thrown down and tram
pled under foot.
Five hundred policemen and all tho
ambulances in the city were instantly
summoned and the dying and those
most seriously injured were removed
to the hospitals. In addition to thesa
ntany of the wounded were taken away
by friends. Nine men in charge of tho
fireworks display were placed undei
arrest immediately after the explosion.

DEADLOCK IN DELAWARE
Doubtful if New Legislature Can Elect
U. S. Senators.
Wilmington, Del., Nov. 5. —The com
plexion of the next Delaware general
assembly is in doubt. It is apparent
that a deadlock on the two United
States senatorial vacancies will be the
result, as was the case two years ago.
The Regular Republican state commit
tee claims that the body will be com
posed of 19 Union Republicans, 8 Regu
lar Republicans, 22 Democrats and 3
doubtful. The majority in joint ballot
and the members necessary to elect
United States senators is 27.
Mr. Saulsbury places the Kent county
membership, including two Democratic
hold-over senators, -at seven Demo
crats, seven Union Republicans and a
tie in the 9th district. His advices
from Sussex county are that three Dem
ocratic represesntatives and one Demo
cratic senator were elected yesterday.
The Democrats have a holding-over
senator in Sussex.
The Democrats gain five members in
New Castle county. Joseph L. Cahall,
the Union Republican chaiman of Sus
sex county, claimed at midnight that
the Addicks Republicans have elected
seven representatives and two senators
in that county.
OHIO
Columbus, 0., Nov. 5. —The Republi
cans carried Ohio by next to their
highest plurality on record. Nothing
above 70,000 had been predicted, but
the returns Indicate that it will greatly
exceed that figure. At the same time
the Republicans made no gain In Ohio
congressmen, but are likely to lose
one. The present Ohio delegation in
congress consists of 17 Republicans
and four Democrats, and the returns
show 16 Republicans and four Demo
crats elected, with the 12th district
In doubt. During the campaign it was
said that any reduction of the plural
ity In Ohio would be considered a vic
tory for Mayor Johnson over SeSnator
Hanna in the senatorial contest of
next year.
NEBRASKA
Lincoln. Neb., Nov. 5. —Returns In
Nebraska show the vote to be exceed
ingly close on governor, with the re
mainder of the Republican state ticket
probably elected. The first 60 pre
cincts received gave Mickey, R., for
governor, 6.541; Thompson, Fusion,
5,857. These precincts one year ago
cast 6,532 Republican votes and 5,302
Fusion votes. This shows that the
Republicans have cast practically the
same vote as a year ago, and the Fu
sionists have made small but steady
gains. Mickey is running behind his
ticket. One hundred and ten precincts
indicate a net Fusion gain of between
three and four to the precinct. If only
the gain shall be maintained through
out the state Mickey will still be elect
ed by nearly 4.000 plurality.
CONNECTICUT
New Haven. Conn., Nov. s.—Connec
ticut yesterday elected the full Repub
lican ticket for state officers and all
the five Republican candidates for con
gress. Returns received indicated that
the plurality for Chamberlain, the Re
publican candidate for governor, would
be at least 15,000, an increase of 1,000
over the plurality of two years ago.
The Republican candidate for congress
man-at-iarge. George L. Lilley, is elect
ed by approximately the same plurality,
while the four congressional districts
are also Republican by safe figures.
The state legislature wjll be Republi
can, thus ensuring the return of O. H.
Piatt to the United States senate.
MASSACHUSETTS
Boston, Mass., Nov. 5. —The Republi
cans, after a vigorous campaign, car
ried Massachusetts yesterday riy a sub
stantial plurality, electing the entire
state ticket, winning in a majority of
the congressional districts, in seven out
of the eight councillor districts and re
taining a firm control of both branches
of the legislature. The state officers
elected were as follows: Governor,
John L. Bates, Boston; lieutenant gov
ernor, Curtis Guild, Jr., Boston; secre
tary of state, William M. Olin, Boston;
treasurer, Edward S. Bradford, Spring
field; auditor, Henry F. Turner, Mai
den; attorney general, Herbert Parker,
Lancaster.
KANSAS
Topeka, Kas., Nov. s.—Kansas has
gone Republican by at least 40.000 ma
jority. The entire state ticket and all
the congressmen are elected by the
Republicans. The Republicans will
have a hundred members of the legis
lature. The Democrats did not expect
to elect their state ticket, but were
surprised that W. N. Craddock, their
candidate for governor, did not run
better than he did. W. J. Bailey, the
Republican candidate for governor,
runs ahead of his ticket.

Odell's vote in the country districts

city Coler's plurality was approximate

MARYLAND
Baltimore, Nov. 5. —The election in
Maryland, which was only for con
gressmen, passed off quietly with the
exception of a few minor disturbances
in the eastern district of this city.
Of the six congressmen, the Republi
cans elect four and the Democrats two.
The vote in the 3d district was very
close, Wachter having a majority ol
about 100. The judges in one precinct
of the 3d district had a dispute be
cause of the imperfect marking of bal
lots, and the ballot box was sealed and
placed in the care of the election su
pervisors. The disputed precinct is nor
mally Republican, and will not affect
the result.
IOWA
Des Moines, la., Nov. 5. —On the
basis of the present returns
the Republicans have elected their
state ticket by about 75,000 plurality.
Judge Birdsall, nominated by the Re
publicans to succeed Speaker David B.
Henderson, ran substantially with his
ticket, and will be elected by 4,000 to
5,000 votes over former Governor Boies.
Chairman Spence, of the Republican
committee, said: "We have carried
the state by at least 65,000. The figures
indicate a larger plurality, but we are
not claiming more at present. We have
elected 11 Republican congressmen."
GEORGIA
Atlanta. Ga., Nov. 5. —Georgia yes
terday elected a solid delegation of 11
congressmen. So little interest was
taken in the election that the figures
in the 11 districts were not collated
last night. Except in the 11th district
the Democrats had no opposition, and
in that district it was inconsequential,
the election was for congressmen only,
TENNESSEE
Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 5. —The entire
Democratic state ticket, headed by
James B. Frazier for governor, has
been elected by a majority estimated
