4 Nut,, for Allison White.

JAMES, Of the Warren Ledger, is out
with the following true picture Of what
publishers Of country papers are expected
to do. We copy the entire article for The
round truths it tells, as also for the jus
tee Of It's complaints; but We particular
ly desire to call attention to that portion
which we have printed in italics. Two
years ago James published the high2oa@
Patriot at this place, andsupportcd Allison
White for Congress. We supposed that
White had gone to the lowest depth Of
degradation when he proved traitor to
his constituents; but we confess that
James has given him the finishing touch
in that one sentence and its accompanying
parcnthesis. No wonder he voted for La-
compton-no wonder he deceived his own
partizan friends-no wonder he was the
I" Kings friend no wonde. he was ser,
vile to the Slave-PoWer; any man who
will serve Term IN Congress and not pay
for the printing OF the tickets cast for
him, is capable Of any degradation. Dem
ocrats in this district will please remem-
Der that Allison White is base enough to
cheat poor working man out of his just
dues. Is he fit to represent Freemen ?
Here is the evidence:
The PRISTEEs WoRK-Puhlishers Of coun-
try newspapers are expected to do great deal
of work for little or no pay. If man hap
pens to be nominated by the party" it is eX-
pected that the editor will keep his name
standing at the head of the paper until the
election; also column after column OF editor
/ ials must be written and published, telling all
| sorts of good things about the aforesaid can-
didate, though he may, perchance, be one OF
the greatest scamps in christondom. This
programme must be carried out or the paper
! will cease to be the organ Of the party.
Then it is expected that the printer will see
that the tickets are printed and properly dis
tributed in the different election districts, re-
gardless Of the expenses andafler election tht
Iprinter may whistle for MS pay. This way o.
doing business has become so common that tc
depart from it, now, would probably kick "
a rumpus. We may relate little Of our ex
perience in this line. We have printed anC
distributed tickets for State officers for year
without receiving SO much as the cost Of fht
paper upon which they were printed. 4 mem
Der Of Congress, eohom we helped elect t3oo year

Allison white.

This gentleman is either already nom
mated for reelection to Congress, or soon
will be; and 50 we ask the voters Of Pot
ter county to review his course during the
last session, and see if it entities him to
reelection. Protesting to be the advo-
cate and supporter of Popular Sovereign
ty, he went down to Washington and
voted to force upon the people Of Kansas
a Constitution which he kacw they had
reppdiated over and over again. Profess
lag to be democrat he turned his back
upon the wishes and instructions Of his
constituents, and gave his votes solely to
please the President Protesting to be
in favor of an economical Administration
Of the Government, be has steadily voted
for every extravagaat scheme Of this most
reckless Administration to waste the mon
ey of the people.
AS an Offset to this, can anybody tell
of single act or vote, that should secure
to him the support Of intelligent freemen
who desire good government admins
tered for the people. But in addition to
what we have already stated, there is one
act of Mr.. Whites Congressional course,
that ought of itself to consign him to
private life, and to the contempt Of the
people. We allude to his course on the
Special Committee ordered by Congress
to Investigate the Lecompton frauds
This order Of the House Mr. White re-
fused to obey; and here is what the Phil
adeIphia Press, an Independent Demo-
cratic paper, edited by JOHN W. FoRNEY,
SAYS of Mr.. Whites conduct on that com
mittee. The Press is speaking Of the
several Congressional Districts:
Fifteenth District. ALLISON WHITE,
Lecomptonite, present member. He will
be re-nominated and overwhelmingly de-
feated. A correspondent speaks Of the
Convention in Clinton county, in his Dis
trict, as a very amusing affair. In Ly-
coming, another county, the National
Administration was endorsed On the right
of search alone. The conduct Of Mr..
WHITE on the special committee raised
under the resolution Of Col. HARRIS, of
Illinois, in which he helped to stife in
vestigation, and assisted to force through
one of the greatest outrages known to
Parliamentary annals, apart from his
votes in the House itself, should consign
him to deserved obscurity."
That will do for the presant. No Eot-
er who knows what he is about, unless he
is wholly destitute of any regard for what
his representative may do, will vote for a
man with such a record as Mr. Whites

The County Ticket.

We promised last week to notice more
particularly the ticket nominated by the
Republican County Convention; which
we will now Go, though in brief man
ner, as the men presented are as we'll
knogn to the voters generally as to ua.
LEWIS MANN, Esq, the candidate for
Assembly, is well known as merchant
in this place, and his popularity as such
and as citizen is beyond all question.
In 1874 he was candidate for Assembly
in this district, then comprising the coun-
ties of Lycoming, Clinton and Potter.
He was run by the Wings, and was beat
en- by but 1900 notes.-the usual Demo
cratic majority in the district being 5000
and which gave the Democratic State
ticket a majority Of $500 at the same
election The Democratic majority IN
the Borough was some 40 votes, and he
had small majority. In 1913 he was
Wing candidate for the Wisconsin Leg
islature in Democratic district, and after
canvassing the district with his opponent,
the result was tie vote; a second elec-
ton was held, when he declined canvass
ing the district again and was beaten by
about so votes. We give the above only
in evidence of his popularity-his cleo
ton being now morally certain. He is a
irst-rate parliamentarian, conTersant with
the varied interests OF the county and
State, and "is every inch a man" We
take this early opportunity Of putting
forward his name for the 8peakership of
the House.
ELI REEs, Esq, the candidate for
Treasurer, is also well known in all Sec
tions Of the county, and will receive a
full party majority, if not more, as it is
not likely that he viii have any opponent.
With JEROME CHEsEBRo, Esq, the
candidate for Commissioner, we have
very little personal acquaintance; but we
are assured by those acquainted with him
that he is every way capable and worthy
of the Office and deserving of the conf
dence of the people Of the county.
W. 2. GRAVES, the candidate for Au-
ditor, is we'll known to the voters Of the
county, and is now put forward for a sec
ond term Of the Office he has so ably and
creditably filed during the last three
years. As an accountant, he has is no
better in the county.
Altogether, the ticket is we'll worthy
of, and will receive, the hearty sup
port of every honest and intelligent
voter in the county, and will be elected
: by an average full majority; and we doubt
not that, if proper exertion is made, the
usual majority can be increased some sc
| or 100 votes. Try it, Republicans G:
