pEpUarICAN COUNTY TICKET.
URIAH SOBER, of Shamokin.
Election. Tuesday. November 2nd.

To THE VoTERs OF NORTHUMBERLAND
CoJNTY.-It has always been a rule, that
both sides of the river be represented in the
Board of Commissioners, and was conce-
ded as lust and right until this year, the
Democrats departed from the rule. Wheth-
er they nominated both candidates on this
side of the river for certain object, can
he imacined when it is known how it was
managed. Mr.. Henrie having served but
one year, the delegates considered 1t no
more than right to give him the nomina-
lion. as they considered him an honorable
man. After his nomination, the ring,
who wanted Reitz, made bold push aud
succeeded in his nomination before their
object was discovered. In this way the
MINER end was cheated out OF their candi-
date. and should Messrs. Henrie and Reltz
both be elected the other side OF the rver
wouId be without a representative in the
Board of Commissioners for the next three
wears TO come. The Republican candl-
date. Mr.. J. G.. Durham, is the only candl-
date from the upper end, who has proved
himself to be one Of the best Commission
ers the county has ever had, it Will now
remain for TIE people of that end to decide
whether they would rather do without a
representative in the Board, and elect the
Ring candidate, Mr.. Reitz, or vote for MI.
Durham, who they know to be an honest
man. If fthey vote for Reitz, they vote TO
deprive the west side of any representative
in the Board of Commissioners, and what
is worse, elect the poorest, and most irefii.
cient candidate of the four. Ii they vote
for Durham they vote to be represented ID
the Board, as they are entitled to be, and
should be. Besides they know MIR. Dur
ham is the best qualified candidate in The
field.

OUR pugiIistic neighbor of the Democrat
SAWS that we lied, and that be is none OF
the ''impersoual" chaps. That may be a
good way for our neighbor TO get out OF a
bad scrape, but :hen it don't alter the case
any, as n number of persons heard him
say that Hottenstein was fool. We were
willing to grant him the privilege of think
ing about that as he pleased, however, and
believe that he was nearer correct then,
than he is now. As to the charge that we
are a liar, that is also an opinion OF Jake's
which NAV have found expression in a lit
tie "palpitation of the heart" Ii we wish
ed to reply 10 our nelghber properly and
truthfully too, we might adopt the phrase
of journalist in Philadelphia lately, who
said his contemporary was "red- headed
liar aud mischief maker" But if we were
TO accuse our neighbor in such manner,
he could not be convinced of the truth, and
would probably deny it, aud say that be
was only an ''impersonal" liar.

Mr.. BUCKALEw Is among the first to
repudia:e the Erie platform, which he and
his friends got up between them. In his
speech at Bloomsbury, on Saturday night
last, he fell back upon the Democratic na-
tional platform of 1872, and declared that
it, rather than the Erie platform, contains
sound Democratic doctrine. He said that
the Democracy had always been a hard
money party, devoted to a constitutional
coin currency as the standard Of values, re-
garding deprecated, inconvertible paper
money in time Of peace as both injurious
and disgraceful'' He was not hOpest
enough to say this before the Ohio election;
but, now that the experiment of helping
the Ohio Democrats by endorsing their
platform has failed, he doffs the Erie coat,
and impudently claims that the Elie plat
form amounts TO nothing? Put not your
faith in the chameleon-hued Democracy.
1t sings as many different airs as mock
ing bird can whistle, and is always keen TO
initiate the last one it hears. In 1872 the
Democratic song was anything to beat
GRANT" In 1875 it is anything to win."
Imitation in unpopular in Columbia county
hence Buckalew goes back upon it.

this country, in Brooklyn. on Sunday.
The large building known as the Rink had
been arranged for their use. Their first
service began at haif-past eight O'Clock in
the morning, and the building was crowd
ed with 5000 persons, while many thous-
ancs were unable to get in. Mr.. Moody
leads with his remarkable vocalism, and is
assisted by 250 trained Christian singers.
while the whole congregation is at times
invited to take part. At the afternoon
the attendance was still greater.
and the immense crowd outside was almost
wild to get looE, at tie ''evangelsts. -
Their beginning is regarded as a success.

1t is popularity of this campaign that
Governor Hartranft's personal character
and political record have not been assailed
by the opposition and for the reason that
even his enmies know him to be an upright
man and thoroughly competent pub
lie officer. The strongest argument in
favor of his reelection is that the most
virulent partnership has not been able to
dicover any weak place in his arnior. He
stands before the people with his integrity
and ability unchallenged, and with such a
claim to popular suffrage as has rarely been
presnted byany candidate for the Executive
chair of the State.-Philadelphia Bulletin.

AUTEN of the Watsontown Record must
have a very treacherous memory, or he does
all his lying Intentionally 20 deceive the
public. Last week he replies to our article
in reference to charges for advertising the
unseated land sales, as follows:
"In the first place our books show that
we charged II. NJ. Cummings, Esq, TWEEN
ty dollars for advertising land sales in Sep
tember. 1874. The advertisement was
charged to Mr.. Cummings INDIVIDUAL
ACCOUNT and not 10 the County OF Nor
thumberland. Mr.. Cummings paid Us the
800 while sitting in the seat with him IN
the train on the way 10 Wllliamsport. Mr..
Reitz granted us no order We DID NOT
have extras of the advertisement printed
20 enclose in our paper. We were the first
10 nut the advertisement in type, and from
il we printed Mr.. Cummings two hundred
extras for other publishers and for posting
on The various tracts of land. For this we
charged him 81 30. These are the facts in
She case. The American" charged $50
and we charged SO, TO say nothing OF the
extra trouble we had in revising proofs,
&c. So muct foT ''extorting," and so
much for the lies of Wilyeyt and Sober"
The above story, however, is spoiled by
r. N. Cummings, whose letter we copy
below:

AMT it strange that Mr.. d. s. Reitz
should now complain of Mr.. Sober's bills
after having approved of them, and signed
all the orders for their pay. Every order
on file for bills presented by Mr.. Sober con-
tain Reitz's signature. If he did not be-
lieve them correct. why did he not object
as any honest man would, and if he had
been overruled by the other Commission
ers, ne had still another remedy by bringing
it before the Board of Auditors. Does he
pretend to say that he acted honestly for
the county, by signing to the orders if he
believed the bills too high. If so, is he not
lying now? He Icontradicts himself, and
is telling falsehOod either one way or The
other. Are such men fit to be the servants
OF the people, who sign their names to
papers, and permit the money to be paid
out of the county treasury, when they be-
ileve that the amounts are incorrect, and
that the Taxpayers are being robbed?
What beautiful pubic officer he must be.
and if the bills were all correct and Mr..
Reitz reformed his duty by signing the
orders, why should he now complain.
at this late date, that the bills were not
correct
TIE farmers, and others in the county,
are, no doubt, surprised when they attend
Democratic meetings announced by the
Ring III different parts of the county, at
the kind of speakers that are supplied. The
fact is that no honest Democrat can be in
duced to take the stump in favor of the
principles advocated by the Democratic
Ring at Sunbury, and hence such speakers
as Lewis Dewart, Weaver, Ryon, Sher-
wood and others, all looking for office, are
eat out. Some of their meetings are of
cry amusing character. For instance,
oe was held at Herndon on last Wednes- !
da evening, and after Sherwood spoke bis !
pe'e, the meeting was turned into raf- !

wears 1873 and 1874. We don't believe
that there is a single Democratic Ring
lawyer in the county who would peform
the same amount of labor that Mr.. Sober
has performed for the amount Of S175, and
if there is. he, no doubt, belongs to that
class which, when an important case is pend
ing, he will be obliged to have several other
lawyers to assist him, aud who would
claim extra pay from the county. Let the
voters of the county look back and they
will be reminded that cases of an ordinary
character could not even be tried without
the aid of an assistant or two to the county
solicitor. But we do not find this the case
while NJ. Sober was employed by the Re-
publican County Commissioners. For
this valuable service to the county, the
Democratic editors have assailed him as
private citizen, and are trying to inlure
him personally to effect their end in elect
ing to office few men who belong to their
Ring, and who are wholly unfit for the
offices ,and will, if elected, prove an expen-
sive experiment to the taxpayers.

says "that Wilvert lies.'' Any one who
reads the Democrat, must naturally con-
clude that its editor is troubled with pal
pitation of the heart" and that strong
stimulants have had its effect towards a
radical cure, in some direction, for who
ever knew that the Democrat or its editor
ever was consistent or told political
truth .....
