A QUESTION that has been disturbing
the harmony between New York and
Connecticut for more than two centuries
--as to whether Fishers Island, off the
coast of Long Island, is part OF the En-
pire or of the Nutmeg state-has finally
been settled by free surrender of her
claims on the part of Connecticut. In
old days this disputed boundary more
than once produced actual war, and the
island was invaded by the Yankees and
annexed to Connecticut. As most of its
inhabitants are natives of the latter

President Judge.
Warren Mail.1

warren MAIL.
Who shall be our Judge for the next
ten years. is very important to all
our people. Business men at least
will understand it. The nominees are
Judge Rasselas Brown, Democrat, and
Hon. VIM. ID. Brown, Republican,
both of Warren. Judge Brown ran
for President Judge against Judge
johnson twenty years ago and against
Judge Wctmore ten years ago and
was defeated. He is hard money
Democrat and has represented his
party in the Legislature and Constitu-
tional Convention, and Is therefore
not averse to holding office. He was
appointed President Judge by Gev.
Bigler to fill the vacency caused by
the death of Judge Galbraith, before
Judge Johnson's election. This is
his only service as Judge. Nothing
can be said against his character or
legal ability. One objection to his
election is his age. The ledger 1--WE
thought indiscreetly) made this OBJ
lection public, so we can properly al
lude to it. OF course a man is not to
blame for growing old. 1t may be his
misfortune, but we certainly don't
want it considered any mans fault.
But 1t is serious question in case
like this for the people to consider.
They should at least understand
the facts. While the Democratic pa
pers generally say he is 65, he is ia
fact in his 69th year. The chances for
active, hard service required in a grow
ing district like this for ten years are
clearly not the best. Those who re-
member the trouble we had growing
out of Judge Galbraith's infirmitfes,
and in Elk county the infrmities, of
Judge White, will understand this.
Another objection we have heard
urged by Greenbackers is his connec-
ton with the Railroad monopoiies!"
He is director in the Lake Shore COM
any and a standing attorney for the
Dunkirk road. Whether he could be
impartial in cases between poor la
orer for his only COW and that" "bloated
bondholder," Vanderbilt, is question
for his five Greenback endorsers. We
are surpried that they overlt oked it
especially since they vote from princi-
pie purely!
On the other hand our candidate,
Hon. VIM. d. Brown, is 81 years old
and just in his prime. He is thor
oughly a lawyer untrammeled by any
business associations, and just right to
take II judgeship where hard work for
many years will be required. OF
course we can't, as the Ledger suggests,
insure his life for ten years, but all can
see that in the natural course of events
his chances are much the best. We
repeat that without any disparagement
of Judge Browns character or ability, |
or however well we may like him per-
we cannot always safely over !
look the fact that the years as they
come and go may get the best of him
and send him to the rear in the great !
battle of life,
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1880-10-14
Thursday Nights Display,

u ~ ID.
The Republican demonstration
Thursday night surpassed anything
of the kind ever witnessed here
before in point of numbers, brilliancy
of equipments and enthusiasm. There
were delegations present from Lock
Haven, Jersey Shore, Limestone, Sus.
quehanna, Montoursville, Hoghes-
vile, Collomsville, Muncy, Mont
gomery, Watsontown, Milton,
Lewisburg and Danville. Many of
the banners and transparencies con-
tanned significant as well as expires
sive mottoes, which called forth tre-
menduous applause from the
thousands of spectators assembled on
the sidewalks to witness the gorgeous
pageant. Thirteen full bands and
nine drum corps furnished music for
the procession, which was nearly an
hour in passing given point. An
interesting and prominent feature of
the demonstration was delegation of
nearly seventy men who voted for
Fremont in 1856. They headed the
procession, and their banner bore an
appropriate and expressive inscription.
By actual count there were over $500
men in line, and if equipments could
have been procured, the number
would doubtless have exceeded 1000.
This was very large number, how
ever, and shows the feeling that pre-
vades the masses at this time. Many
of the delegations presented a splen-
did appearance as they moved through
the streets, and the display of fire.
works added to the magnificence of the
scene. Numerous residences along
the route were not only brilliantly H.
Illuminated, but covered with flags and
Chinese lanterns. which made a splen-
did appearance. AS the immense
column moved up Fourth street it
presented gorgeous spectacle, the
hundreds of flaming lamps giving it
the appearance of sea of billowy
fire. Owing to the excitement upon
the streets, and the desire to witness
the parade, the people were i'm no
mood, at the close, to listen to public
speaking, and it was very wisely dis
pensed with at the Academy, court
house and public square. Distin-
guished speakers were present, but
they saw the futilty of attempting to
address the enthusiastic multitude,
and agreed that it would be better to
refrain from delivering addresses at
this time. Altogether the demonstra-
tion was great success, and one that
the Republicans of Williamsport and
Lycoming county have reason to feel
proud of.
Hartford, Conn, Oct. 5.-there Is
great rejoicing among the Republicans
throughout the State over the result of
the town elections. They have made
a net gain of twenty-eight towns over
the election of 1876, and nineteen over
1879. The result shows that the Re-
publicans are thoroughly united and
at work. Should Indiana and Ohio
send Us cheering returns Connecticut
can be counted on to dead certainty
for Garfield, with majority of from
3nooto 5000.
