FREELAND, PA., THURSDAY, OC r J
Preparing for a Big Meeting.
Saturday evening's mass meeting of
the voters of Freeland and vicinity at
the Grand opera house will be. one of
the greatest opportunities of this cam
paign for the citizens of the North Side
to become intimately acquainted with
Democratic candidates and the issues
they represent. The meeting promises
to be a very large one, judging from the
interest manifested in it by the part}
workers of both the town and the sur
rounding polls. This interest is not
confinod alone to the English-speaking
citizens, but extends among the voters
of all the nationalities of the neighbor
hood.
There is no orator in Luteerne county
who is more capable of presenting
Democratic doctrine to an audience,
whether the subject be a national m
local one, thau the candidate for district
attorney, Colonel Thomas R. Martin
His address on Saturday evening will b(
worth traveling miles to hear, and even

meeting will miss a rare treat.

candidates for prothonotary and clerk
of the courts respectively, will also give
the voters their views on the issues ol
the day.

but at this writing the local committee
is not quite positive who they will be.
Addresses will also be delivered by promi
nent members of the Slavish and Polish

be treated upon in an able manner for
the benefit of these people.
Every voter, and every workingman
especially, is urgently requested to attend
the meeting.

noon on Tuesday by an individual who
gave his nuiue as Paul Hamilton, of
Now York city. He gained entrance t<
the ticket ollice by prying open the door
and bursting the cash drawer with a
coupling pin. William Williams, tin
agent, had just gone to dinner when the
fellow committed tin? deed. William
Lawrence, assistant freight agent, was
scaling a car and upon looking towards
the office saw the fellow thrusting money
Into his pocket, lie knew Williams
-could not have returned so soon and be
coming suspicious he ran towards tin
door.
Hamilton saw him running and pre
pared to make an exit. Both met in the
door and the robber struck Lawrence a
violent blow in the mouth, badly cutting
Ills lip. The fellow escaped and ran U|
tho railroad to the planing mill, out t
the river bank, where lie pulled tin
money from liis pocket and cast it into

HullotM Dcpiirtvil Stolen.
The voters of the Second district, in
the South ward, wore given a surprise
in the early part of the week by the
circulation of a report that the ballot
box had been opened and tho ballots
taken therefrom. It is alleged that the ;
residence of Anthony Gallagher, who j
was judge of tho district at tho last
election, had boon entered at some thin
in the recent past and the ballots taken
from the box, which was secreted in the
upper portion of tho dwelling. The
ballots, it is claimed, were returned Sun
day morning, by leaving them in a
parcel in Mr. Gallagher's coal house.
The voters of tho district were natur
ally exercised when the judge made
public tho circumstances of tho case,
and several immediately began to in
vestigate, with a view of locating the
guilty party or parties. It Is under
stood that prompt prosecution will fol
low if tlie thieves arc discovered. Mr.
Gallagher is not positive when the deed
was done, but thinks it was a few weeks
ago, as about that time $lO was missed
from the pocket of his wife's dress.
May Lose the Sight of 11 in Eyes.
John B. Hanlon, employed in the
blacksmith shop at Jcddo, was the
victim of a very painful accident on
Tuesday morning. While striking a
piece of red-hot iron a chip flew oil" and
struck him in the right eye. Dr. Kail)
was summoned and extracted the iron
and relieved li is intense suffering as
much as possible. Mr. Hanlon was
brought to his home here, and upon tin
advice of his physician, Dr. H. M. Npale.
lie was taken on Tuesday afternoon to
Will's Eye Hospital. Philadelphia, for
treatment. Ho was accompanied to this
institution by his brother, Edward. It
Is feared that the sight of the right eye
is entirely lost and tho other may in
affected. Much sympathy is expressed
for the young man.
Settled With Contractor ltiehe.
The borough school board met Mon
day evening. Directors McCarthy.
Sweeney, Tlmony and Johnson were
present. A settlement with Contractor

off his bill for extra work. He was
then paid $1,020 and assigned tins bal
ance due him. $1,430, to the Ilummels

and William Johnson. This action
clears tho board from all claims of the
contractor.
No effort was made to resume voting
for the assistant teacher decided upon at
Saturday evening's meeting. President
McCarthy gave adverse views on such
action, and that settled it.

FROM THE COUNTY SEAT.
VICTORY IS CERTAIN IF THE DEMO
CRATS GET OUT THE VOTE.
Confident Feeling Kxists at the Party's
Headquarters in Wllkesbarre—All the
Candidates Are Workini; Hard En
couraging Reports from Every District
Wilkesbarre. Pa., October 10.
If the Democrats in and about Pier
land could step Into the handsome Demo
cratic headquarters, located on Public j
Square, and presided over by as hustling,
able and courteous a gentleman as ever
filled the chairman's place, Rush Trcs
cott, Esq., who is ably assisted in the
secretaryship by that bright young j
lawyer, Ray Van Horn, they would have j
cause for rejoicing.
Assuredly the outlook is bright. Every
scout that comes in from the outposts i
brings news of the most encouraging 1
kind. The Democrats seem to be full of
genuine enthusiasm. They are certain j
that victory awaits their united efforts j
on November 2.
On the other hand the Republican
leaders carry gloomy faces and are j
sadly cast, down. They realize that ■
they are in a hole. They concede, as I
far as they dare, that the
UUKKZKS FA volt TIIK DEMOCRACY
this year. Tliq rank and file arc listless !
and morose. They threaten, in many ,
cases, to bolt the ticket which is !
so obnoxious to them. Their discon- i
tent arises, primarily, from the fact |
that men who have made small fortunes
in the offices they have held for tin; past
three years, are again candidates for ;
the same places, and they claim this is \
unfair to others equally untitled to
recognition. This second term business
is raising old Ned.
The Democracy were never more cer
tain of success than t hey are at present, i
Rut they realize that it will not do for
any Democrat to remain at home on
election day. The
VOTE MUST GOTTEN OCT
and if this is d one victory is sure.
Paul Dasch, the candidate for pro- ;
thonotary, who is too well known in
Frooland to nooil any special eulogliim, i>
making frionds wherever lie goes. His j
handsome face and manly form attrael !
attention, and not a few Republicans !
aver that they will cast their votes for ;
him.
T. If. Martin, Esq., candidate for ells- ■
triet attorney, is pushing his canvass !
with a vim. He is up early and late j
and seems never to tire. He is a Demo- i
crat of Democrats, his long record j
standing out clearly as one to bo proud j
of. lie is an abie lawyer and it is
pretty certain that should he succeed

Protesting Against Mclvenna.
From the Philadelphia Times.
The American Protective Association
will oppose tho appointment of Attorney
Goueral Mcivennu to the position of asso
ciate justice of the supreme court to liil
the vacancy occasion ill by the resignation
of Associate Justice Field, oil the ground
that Mclvenna is a Roman Catholic.
President. Me 1\ in ley has been notified of
the intention of this organization.
After two nominations bad been re
jected by the senate. President Cleve
land appointed Senator White, of Louis
iana, to be associate justice, and lie was
very promptly confirmed. It was only
after bis confirmation that the A. P. A.
leaders ascertained that lie was a Catho
lic. Then it was too luto for them to
protest. They say one Catholic on the
bench is enough.
What President McKinley will do can
not be ascertained. It is known that
the attorney general is slated for the
supreme court vacancy and that lie ex
pects the appointment. Those who
know President McKinley believe that
he will make the proposed appointment
regardless of the protests of tho organi
zation which seeks to inject religious
issues into the body politic.
