end the Democratic county ticket with
the namo of il. G.. Creveling substitut-
ed, and the annexed circular were dis
trlbuted in every township on the eve
of the election by our amiable friends
McCo.lum- Lish Pursel and other equal
ly wuishty politicians. We made no
effort TO countgract il, and some hmid
friends imagined defeat. But tho trick
did not succeed, and all the horrors of
opening streets, buying the Normal
School for The county, etcn we presume
must be endured. Eedd, but don't
smile-Bloomsburg widens her streets,
paves and curbs them ut hor own ex-
pense, but the ignOramus who concoct-
ed this circular either did not know it
or else deliberately lied.
A lew plain words 10 the Voters and TaZpay.
ers Of Columbia county concerning their
own Interest, regardless Of Wircprlling Poll
ticians, c0nniEetioas, Rings, &e.
We have long felt the heel OF Blooms
burg, and no one can now iail to see the
hand shaping the dcstinies OF the future
so as TO burden our people with enor-
y
propose TO as3ail any political organiza.
ton, looking upon it as do in the light
Of Tanmany, and believing the ring to
be composed of professed adherents Of
both political parties. All ! ask is for
tho Intelligent voter to reflect a moment
upon the past few years Of tho history
Of our county, SEQ what we have already
contributed in the shape of taxation to
the town of Bloomsburg to enable her
people to widen their streets, DC. Look
| nj .he statement Of our county finances
| for the last two years. Mark the pro.
portion of rood damages paid to her cit
| liens with that of all the others.
And thcu take into consideration their
present undertakings, for instance I:
Further widening ofstreet5 and grading
tho same. Grading sidewalks, curbing,
paving, &c. The water works the edi-
| tors nave been quarreling about, and
which they certainly should have. And
| last but not least by any means, the
"elcphant they have on the hill in the
shape Of the Normal School, for which
| they gre largely in debt and areanXious
10 sell out to the county at some price.
The fact is the situation is desperate,
and desperate cases require desperate
treatment. There must be some legis-
| ldtiOn this winter to enable them to eX-
tricate themselves from their present
troubles, and to enable them TO carry
out their future designs.
| Now fellow Democrats, we can avert
all danger from the above causes by as
serting our independence and voting for
II. G. CREVELTNG, ESQ the candidate
of the opposition. am assured that he
has never taken an active part in poll
tics. Is considered by all who know him
as first class business man, conserva-
tive in all his acts, well qualified for the
position, and if elected we will have
nothing to fear from the manipulations
of Bloomsbury, for at least a year to
come, and the probabilities are that
when it is learned that we understan
our rights and propose to take care OF
them that there will be less danger in
the future.
