Ey-The candidates for Office in Union
county all run well at home-a fact very
creditablc to them as individuals, and to
us as county.
Every district in the county, save Union
TIP, gave Read a majority; Frazer, Kill
niger, Gregg, Crossgfove, aud Rebcr had
every district but two; Pross had , dist
riets, Meyer 6 and Wcidcnsau! ); Harris
bad no competitor.
The Volunteer candidate for Commits.
sioner reduced Pross 40 votes, and Meyer
63 votes, from the average, in Lcwisburg,
and about equally from each party inWh
Deer, but elsewhere his vote was mostly
from our party.
The highest vote reached was 1918 for
Kilinger. The largest number of votes
was 2l32, for County Commissioner.
"Volunteering" does not "pay" well in
this county of late years. Better restrain
the ardor of your numerous friends" :"
gentlemen, and do not believe every non
sensieal story told you by "disinterested'
enemies who really seek only to use you
as "a catspaw to aid in some personal or
political scheme. But if "friends" WILL
make you 'run," let them pay expenses,
reality of their friendship.
'Oid Hartley" Lew,s, Hartleton and
Hartley gives RcaL 80 maj, Wcidcnsaul
St over pross, Charles 96 over Crossgroye.
Taking into view the defeat of Wilson in
the strife for Sheriff, aud the great efforts
of Weidensaul and Charles among their
long time neighbors, our Hartley friends
stood the "pressare" Iobly. That half q
score Of straight voters on the right side
from N Calls Mills, was a bracer.
The biggest BEAT talked over at our late
Fair was called "Lecompton" and entered
by j. t. of lancaster The outside COM
mittee on FOULS awarded him premium
of One Dime-provided he can find the
same in the National Treasury.
. Ex-Ex pec'aut Senator Detrick made a
THIRD trip to Lcwisburg the Saturday eve
ming before election, and made an outdoor
speech, in which he laid himself open to
the severe "Riddeing" he received at the
Opposition meeting, Monday evening. As
he is defeated, We '.let him slide
There was some inquiry upon the Fair
/ Ground for the Little Buck of the Presid
eut of Detrick's meeting. The report was
was that be was engaged in butting jim
Lecompton up the Saline stream in order
to recruit his moral constitution.
Among other lies circulated against Mr..
Pross a, one end Of the county, was one
that he had lost the two first fingers of his
right hand and could not write his name
(Apd men called Christians fabricatc and
circulate such base falschoods J
The ARGUS of the week before Election
said, "This will be cur last issue before
Election" Nevertheless, Monday before
the Election DID tissue" half an Argus,
dated "wednesday the l4th," full Of "last
card" political uutru'hs-with one short
spasm of "Niggerism"-bu aimed mostly
at Hon. JOHN NJ READ. Its tire men ju-us
EFFECT may be seen in the vote of Lewis
burg-341 for Read and 81 for Porter!
A most powerful HALE storm swept
over Mifiiin, Center, Clinton, Potter, Ly-
coming and Sullivan counties, Tuesday of
last week, making large number of strong
men "turn WHIrE'-out of Congress
It's force was everywhere felt, except in a
remote corner Of Sullivan, where large
settlement of Irish Catholics entirely es-
caped-a "miracle," doubtless.
Montour, Perry, and Centre elected the
entire Opposition ticket for County Offices;
Lycoming elected Thomas Lloyd of Muncy
Opp Commissioner; Northumberland
and Clinton elected Dem. coan'y tichets
