The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1875-07-28

by Mr.. Ioby. The cubs treed, on
large hemlock, and the hunters took
up position under the tree to wait
for them to come down. After wait
ing about thirty.six hours, without
accomplishing their object, they pro-
cured an augur, made some pins, and
constructed ladder up the side Of the
tree, up which one of the men climbed,
carrying a cable with him. With the
rope the cubs were secured and let
down to the ground. They were about
as large, Mr.. Toby informed us, "as a
small dog" from which we infer they
would weigh about ten or fifteen
pounds each. Mr.. Toby has one of
them, and Mr.. Bean the other. They
are getting quite tame, and will make
nice pets until they get too old to
manage. Robert Guyton, of Bear
Creek, however, is the "boss' bear
hunter in this county, having killed
and trapped so large a number that if
we were to give the figures. it would
sound like fish story. We know,
however, that he has killed as many
as eleven bear in one season since we
came to Tionesta.
The Clarion Republican publishes
call for VIM. p. Finley, Esq, of
Salem twp, Clarion Co., to become a
candidate for State Senator at the com.
ing election. This call is signed by
upward of two hundred voters of Clar-
ion Co., among them, quite number
of Democrats. If Mr.. Finley can
carry Clarion county against the Dem
ocratic candidate, he's the man we're
after. Forest county, we believe, will
present no Republican candidate, and
we hear of none in either of the other
counties of the district. Unfortunate
ly Clarion county holds her primaries
after ours, end having two Republican
candidates for this office, we could not
take their names into consideration at
our primary meetings; we believe,
however, as the case stands that the
nominee of Clarion county can rely
on the support of Forest, to the full
amount Of her Republican vote. BY
all means give us a good candidate
one whose character will bear a strong
light, and we will do our level best
for him at the general elections.
From this standpoint, it would
seem that Meadville would be a nice
place to live, provided always that
person had the money and time which
would naturally be required to amuse
himself after the manner of the Mead
Williams. Every whip-stitch an exour-
sion is gotten up for Chautauqua Lake,
at balffare or less; an odd fellows
excursion went to Lake Erie q few
days ago, and now the Baptist con-
gregaton of that city propose to visit
Niagara Falls on the 18th of August,
the round trip costing s400. Of
course a man would be miserable if he
was there and hadn't the required
S400.
We publish this week, as is our
custom at this season, the Rules for
the Republican Primary Meetings. 1t
is important that officers of the elec-
tion boards should have copies Of these
rules by which to regulate their deci-
sions in the various cases which come
up. These elections should be con.
Quoted as strictly as the general elec-
tions, and we hope they will be SO
conducted. No Democrat should be
allowed to vote at these primaries.
Frauds should be carefully guarded
against, then when a man is nominated
he will be the choice of the majority
of the party.
The Republicans of Clarion coun-
ty do not believe in letting the Demo
Gratis have the election all to them
selves, just because they happen to
have large majority. There are an
nounced in the Republican 1 candidate
for State Senate, and an extensively
signed call for another; for Prothon-
otary; for Treasurer; 10 for Com
a 4 q
