ORGANIZE.

And nov the most important matter which
the Republicans of Monroe county have to
consider is the organization of the forces
With candidates and platform of principles
which shut the mouth of our opponents
against any truthful cavil, it would be a
shame if we should think of going into the
canvass with everything, as now, so much at
loose ends. We should meet and consult,
and stir about so as, first, to find out who is
of us and who is not and, second, so thorough
y organize for work as to keep both ourselves
and our opponents busy until the people has
through the ballot box confirmed the nomina-
tion of Hays and Wheeler by triumphant
election. We have heretofore touched upon
this subject of organization, but without the
stimuious of ticket to organize upon we
have felt it to be slow work. Now we have
the ticket, and ticket too worthy our untir-
ing efforts in behalf of its success, and as
Republicans we shall not half do our duty to
the country if Monroe county fails to give at
least eight hundred votes for Hayes and
Wheeler. We believe that with thorough
organization we can even exceed this With
out organization there is 10 telling what we
can do, but it is safe to say not much. Our
new County Committee should take the
initiative

TEe EONrGsa,

The arrangements are about perfected,
harmony Is restored in the musical circle, our
country friends are coming in by hundreds to
take part, the ladies, bless them for ever and
for aye, are working Ike beavers and have
consented to take part in the tableaus Incl
dent to the parade, and thus are we assured
that nothing viii be wanting but clear day
20 make manifest in Stroudsburg on the
glorious centennial natal day of the nation
that our people appreciate their duty as
patriotic citizens Of this free-est country on
Goods footstool and are determined to per-
form it. Friends abroad, whether natives of
StF0adsburg or mere former sojourners with
in its borders who remain away on that day
viii regret, to the last day Of their lives that
they were not with US and Of Us, mingling in
the festivities of that glorious day and hence
we would advise all without regard to person,
caste, creed, sex or previous condition of
seryi5uden if they would avoid felong re-
grct to read 10 another column the program
me arranged for the day and to hasten hither-
ward and join US in the noble work Mind
you, it viii be a hundred years before like
opportunity will be afforded, and then you
will have filed the worms maw and have
Leen resolved to the dust from whence you
came, without the satisfaction Of having been
able to relate to your descendants, how much
you enjoyed the grand celebration of the
memorable event of July 4th, 1776, in
Stroudsburg on July 4th, 1876. A greater
display Of fuss and feathers may be found
elsewhere, but it is in Stroudsburg that the
cream Of celebrations alone will be found, and
right here is the only sure spot in which the
true worshipper at the shrine Of his countrys
greatness will meet such welcome as will
make him feel as though he had been trans
ported to the very seventh heaven of patrio
tic icenjoyment. Come then, all ye absent ones
and come all We who would learn the routine
Of true hospitality and enjoyment derived
from daty well performed from experience,
aud our word for it you will experience no
disappointment in these respects here. Again
we say come, and come all who can by any
reputable means manage to get here

py@ Our distinguished neighbor over the
way don't like the nominees of the Cincin-
natl convention; there is no discounting that
fact, and is altogether safe to say that Hayes
and Wheeler need look for no support from
him. 1t is doubtful whether he can give any
reason for his opposition, save the single one
that they were not nominated by the Demo
Gratis; and are consequently not Democrats
in the modern acceptation of the word. He
will like the nominees of the st. Louis con-
ventiOn, however, no matter who they may
be, because being the nominees of Demo
cratic convention they will carry the sign of
Democracy, which will cover any irregularity
that might attach to them from overSlaugh-
ing principle for the sake Of success. And
50 far as our knowledge extends there is not
in the whole coterie of Democratic editors a
single one so well able to support any man
who may be nominated Among all those
whose names were prominent in connection
with the nomination our distinguished neigh
Dor had not a single friend to reward Or enemy
to punish. Indeed be hardly ventured to
name candidate, so that his subscribers are
as exempt, for aught he has said or done, Of
prejudice or bias as he is himself. No mat
ter whether the candidate favors imitation or
resumption, has Northern or Southern views
or is Tiiden, Bill Allen, Wade Hampton or
JEFF. Davis the blissful ignorance nurtured by
the Democrat heretofore will ena bic its
editor to come to the work without why or
wherefore, and labor as heartily and unblush
iagly for his success as though the candidate
was made especially to his order. There will
be no pre-opposition to smooth over, no
nothing that can possibly make the support
Of The nominations anything but pleasant
duty. We congratulate our distinguished
ucighbor over this his brilliant display of
strategy, and almost regret that its success
viii extend no farther than the promotion of
his personal comfort. OF course it is fixed
that Hays and Wheeler viii be elected. That
is his only misfortune.

The Town Council are building a plan

The Town Council are building plank
walk up Academy Hill, on Franklin street,
for the accommodation Of the citizens resid-
ing in that beautiful portion of our town
They are also having the streets and cutters
cleansed, but give no sign of the near build
ing OF those necessary cisterns. The plank
walk was required, but any day may demon
strate that cistern well filed with water at
the foot of the hill, and at other points in
town, would prove hundred times more
necessary and valuable.

A FRIEND of ours was a good deal mysti-
fed during recent visit to East Strouds-
burg and has been bothering himself with
the conundrum ever since. While passing
along the streets he saw a rather prepossess-
ing young lady, very neatly attired, pass from
a millinery establishment into store near
by, step up to the clerk pinch her right cheek
and then the left and retired as rapidly as she
entered. The question which bothers him
is, "was it love- or what? Who can come

A RUNAwAY.-Mr. John Y. Shoemaker
team was in town last Saturday in charge Of
bis brother Daniel, and without said broth
er's leave or license the team concluded to
go home or somewhere else in the quickest
possible time. With this intention absorb
ing them, they made dash across the street
and came against some hitching posts in
front Of Hess Bros tobacco store, which re-
lieved them of the burden of the wagon
They went up town lick et-a-spit with the
double-tree and whiffie-trees spanging against
their heels at every jump. Near the race
they fell and separated from each other, and
then they run on to Mr.. AMI Coolbaugh'
where they were caught
Remarkable to say there was but little Sc
rious damage. The horses heels were cut q
little, but not badly. They were brought
back and fastened to the wagon and went
home at more serious pace

Mr.. Holmes was young man of fair at

the printers trade in the office of the Great
Falls Journal, but soon gave up the trade.
He had been law student under his uncle.
Stephen Holmes, Jr. Esq, of this place,
since December 1873; and had he lived un-
til the approaching September term of Court,
he would doubtless have been admitted to the
bar for which he had been making the ne
cessary preparation. Charley Holmes,
as he was generally called, was genial, kind
hearted and gentlemanly, and among his as
sociates, who knew him best, he had many
warm friends. Charles A. Holmes was born
at Great Falls, N. H., Oct. Is, 1853, and
was therefore at his death but about three
months short of % years Of age
His funeral was preached by the Rev. Mr..
Wallace on Wednesday afternoon, after
which his remains were inferred in the Gem
etery
Thus in early manhood, on the threshold
Of usefulness, has been snatched from life 5

his day and generation. How uncertain and

Rg-The history of parties hardly shows
such universal appreciation as that accorded
to the action of the Cincinnati sconvention,
in the nomination of Hays and Wheeler.
The first whimper of "a grumble is yet to come
from Republican source either over plat
form or candidates, and not small cause for
congratulation to the party is the fact that
men and principles and enthusiasm have
combined to so completely demoralise Demo
cracy that it seriously has nothing to say
against either.

Fatal Accident.

DR.. 4. Lewis Kirkhuff left town last Tues.
day evening with the intention of going to
Tobyhanna Mills on the up night train.
Nothing was heard of him until the next
morning when his body was found lying by
the side of the track unmangled south OF
Oakland station, dead. The presumption is
that he was standing on the platform and
accidentally fell to the ground fatally injurine
himself.
The Doctor was abount % years of age
and graduated year ago last March, and
commenced the practice of medicine at Sand
Cut, Wayne county, about one year ago. He
was married on the 7th of June to the adop-
ted daughter of Mr. William Wallace of this
town. About week ago he had entered
into partnership with DR.. Shull and com
menced the practice Of medicine in this
place.
Mr.. Wallace was at the depot on the point
of leaving for New Y York on the early train,
when he received telegram announcing the
above fact
ANOTHER-On Tuesday afternon Mr..
Frederick Phillips met with a severe accident
whilst moving in his field on Foxtown Hill.
1t appears that Mr.. Phillips laid down his
scythe on stone and was in the act of sitting
down to rest, when he accidentally struck
against the blade of the scythe inficting a
severe and painful wound of the left wrist,
cutting it about two inches in length and a
half inch in depth, partially severing the
radial artery. Dr. Geo. w. jackson was
called and rendered the necessary medical
aid.
