The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1880-08-11
"A Lucinda correspondent Of the

strange that Democrats delight so now
in military equipments, which he says
the sight Of few years ago would
throw them into spasms. Well, yes,
we happened to live about that time,
but not in this nest Of woods. We
remember the spasms and their effect
on both Democrats and Republicans.
The spasms threw the Democrats into
the army and the average Republica
into offices and places of trust where
they could boast of their loyalty (N
without the unpleasant smell fpowder.
We had the pleasure of short talk
with the next Treasurer Of Forest
county, and he says things over there
are all right for Hancock and English,
aud perhaps the whole ticket. We
are rather quiet here but are we'll sat
isfed and will send you a good report
in November.
When We published that item we
little thought it was going to create
such a commotion in the Democratic
camp. 1t must have been very fitting
and hit the "bull's eye" But the as
sertion that "the spasams threw the
Democrats in the army and the Re.
publicans into Offices and places of
trust" is good. Yes, it's rich; aye,
worse, it's false Again. He says lie
had a talk with the "next Treasurer
of Forest county" This Is another
mistake. The "next Treasurer of
Forest county" will be found at all
times at his post-the carpenter trade
six days in the week, ten hours to
the day, and more if necessary, and is
too busily engaged to be galanting
around over Clarion county getting off
such bladderdash as the correspondent
speaks off. Tho "next Treasurer" is
familiarly known as Smith Foreman.
DR.. Tanner completed his forty
days fast at noon on last Saturday.
The suffering which he endured for
forty days must have been great, as
his only diet was water, and toward
the last even this would not agree with
him, and he was attacked with frequent
spells OF vomiting. He was too plucky
to give up, however, and to the sur.
prise of every one got though,all right.
1t was supposed that he would expe-
rience his greatest difficulty in break
ing his fast, when he would begin to
eat again but such was not the case,
as he ate quite heartily Of water melon
and took frequent and large draughts
of milk. Late in the day he ate meat
and it is thought he will have no
further difficulty. DR.. Tanner is
probably one out Of ten thousand that
would or could endure such starving
ordeal, but it is altogether likely there
1, will be many other lunatics that will
eudeavor to outfast him now-that he
has started the ball to rolling.
1t may be interesting to the Dem
ocrats of this district to know that the
Greenbackers claim the nomination o!
Mosgrove as exclusive theirs. They
say: ave nominated Mosgrove and
the Democrats endorsed him. We
have in no way fused with the Demo.
Gratis, and don't propose to. If they
want to endorse and vote for our man
we can't prohibit them. But Mos.
grove is our man and is running as a
Greenbacker." This is in substance
what we heard two of the most promi.
nent Greenbackers of Forest county
say. What do you Democrats think
} of it?
We have just received from the
great Advertising Bureau of Geo. p
Rowell & Co., N. Y, their "Americar
| Newspaper Directory" for 1880. The
book contains over 1000 pages, and is by
far the largest and most complete work
Of the kind ever gotten up by this oil
any other firm. A work Of this
t description, in order to be of value
must be accurate, and we believe this
, approaches as near accuracy as it is
t possible to get. To those interested il
= the advertising business this work il
3 invaluable.
