The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1872-08-14


ually, by saying that Daniel Black,
j. w. Stroup and Nelson Cole had re-
quested the Democrat man "to contra
dict the statement as being false and
without the least foundation-they new
er having expressed themselves to Mr..
Dunn, or any other man, as being OPP
posed to Greeley" AS to Mr. Black,
we must confess that we depended up
on hearsay for his name, having un-
derstood from what we considered re-
liable authority, that he was opposed
to Greeley. We chcerfully make the
correction as far as he is concerned
As to Mr.. Stroup, he expressed him
self to us in the REPUBLICAN Office
that he would not vote for Greeley,
but thought he would vote for Grant.
lie also said the same thing in sub
stance to Mr.. Woodington. As to Mr..
Cole, we understood him to say that
he would support neither Grant nor
Greeley, but he seems to think We are
mistaken about him expressing him
self positively to that effect, but
grants that we might have taken that
idea from what he said on the occasion.
He informs us that he did not request
nor authorize the Democrat to contra
dict the statement as being false and
without the least foundation" as he
knew nothing of the controversy un-
til he saw the Democrat with his name
to a request of that character. So we
suppose we are at liberty to stamp that
part of the Democrats statement as
being "false and without the least
foundation" As to Mr.. Gates, we
humbly beg his pardon for intimating
that he had ever been Democrat, as
we understand that he has always been
strong Republican. We received
his name as a Democrat who would
not vote for Greeley from another
Democrat, whom we considered posted
We PROSTATE ourself to Mr.. Gates and
hope he will pardon us for the mistake.
The Democrat quotes Mr.. 7. b. Cobb
as Greeley man. He is not that
kind of man, and will vote for Grant
if he lives until the 9th of November.
He has never sailed in the Democratic
boat and never intends to.
The chief points and "sarkasms" Of
the article Somewhat Premature "
we heard some days previous to the
publication of the Democrat, and were
informed that they were hissed from
the Shiny mouth of the "Big Snake
We would advise the Democrat man to
have the aforesaid "B. s." keep mum
until after publication day each week,
so that subscribers and others would
not know in advance what the paper
was to contain when it came out.
The Oil City Derrick, Of Monday
shows up our place in the following
complimentary manner:
Tionesta is the smallest county seal
in the most sparsely settled county in
the State. No oil excitement has evel
disturbed the even tenor of it way
, and the number Of improvements have
been rather limited during the past
few years. The only ones of any note
being brick court house and a bridge
now being erected across the river
One abutment and two Of the pier,
are nearly completed.
, Oil City is the largest (would.be,
county seat in the most thickly settled
county in the State. The oil excite
ment at one time reached such pitcl
, that acting Mayor Boyce had to ISSUE
o a proclamation to decrease the pro
| duction. The improvements are 81
numerous and noteworthy that tn
papers Of that metropolis do not nov
pretend to keep track of them. 1t i
rather strange, however, that the larg
' est and best building ever erected il
Oil City, is being put up by nal
from "the most sparsely settled count,
: in the State" Mr.. Z. d. Collins.
