THE Commonwealth of last week pro.
ceeds to "show up" the editor of this
paper in, as it claims, very unenvia-
bic light, but before proceeding in the
matter it expresses it's great sorrow at
being called upon to do such thing,
&c, &c. 1t is true that we agreed 10
publish the report for $50 provided it
was published in the three papers, but
did that agreement mean that we were
to refuse it unless the Commissioners
saw proper to publish in the three
we rather think not. That matter was
for the Commissioners to decide, and
when they decided to publish the
report as it had always been done, it
wasn't for us to say that we wouldn't
have it. We entered into no such
agreement Now, then, who does this
matter "show up" the worst, the
editor of the REPUBLICAN, who simply
published the report as it was awardeI
to him by the commissioners, or Mr..
Dingman, who wanted the commission
ers to pay $3.50 for a piece of work
they could get done for 800; and
again; had the commissioners given
Mr.. Dingman the extraa$50 would he
have growled about the extravaganza,
or would he have kept mum ? "Mum"
would have been the word with him,
you bet.

ALE NAILED.
A Report That IS a FaIseood on its
Face Nipped in the Bud.


At the last Argument Court, Octo'
her 2Sth, one of our attorneys made
objection to certain business which had
been done in the Prothopotory's Office
by the Deputy, Curtis M. Shawkey.
The objection was that said Deputy
was minor and not a legal deputy,
&c. The Court told the Attorney
when the case was called up that there
was nothing in it. Judge Brown did
not make formal decision of the
matter and held it over for, decision
until next court. This is what Shaw
keys enemies wanted. They started
the report that there was a case in
Judge Browns hands that would set
aside Sbawkey's ProthonOtary's busi-
uess for the last three years. Now we de-
nounce this as base falsehood as a
lie; a report that has a foundation of
political lies. The people of this
county know that Curtis NJ. Shawkey
is good and efficient Deputy, and we
say to you that he is also a legal dep.
uty, and the business he does as his
fathers deputy is legal. Judge Brown
writes to Mr.. Shawkey in this way;
WARREN. Oct. 81, 1881,
JUsTIs SHAwKEY, ESQ,
Dear Sir The fact that
your SOD, who is your deputy in the
Prothonotary's office, is under the age
of twenty-one years, cannot impair or
in anywise affect the business of the
Office, and it is too absurd for any
person to claim that it can.
Yours Truly,
VIM. d. BROWN.
William D. Brown is our President
Judge he is the man who Will decide
that terrible case. Yes, that case that
amounts to nothing; that is nothing,
and means nothing but a political
scheme. Now you see how this is.
Vote for Shawkey; he is the officer
that will take care of your interests.

AS Chairman Of the Republican
County Committee / deem IL necessary
to gay few words to the Republican
voters Of Forest county, that we
should in each aud every township
regard it rs a duty which we owe to
ourselves aud the Republican party
to sustain our ticket. There is no
reason whatever for any honest Re.
publican to vote against any man on
the Republican ticket. The men
nominated are our associates in up.
holding a common political faith.
They are our brethren in one political
family, who have stood shoulder to
shoulder with honest Republicans in
the battle for principle, and some of
these in the fierce fight for the Union.
Why, then, should any true Republi-
can strike at any of these merely to
crafty q Democrat or Greenbacker
1t is on such course that our enemies
base their hopes of success. Our
men, our candidates, our brethren as
such in political contest are certainly
to be preferred to the candidates ofany
other party. They were made candi-
dates by our consent, aud therefore
have claim on us aside from the
hold they have on US ss considora.
ton of principles. We must stand by
all these men, because ia doing that
we stand by our party, which, next to
the country, is the dearest object for
which a Republican can vote. Let us
not, then, mistake our duty this year.
The Republican party must stand by
its integrity and it can only do this
by being true to its candidates.

For Prothonotary, &c.

Some one says Shawkey has been
Prothonotary one term and that is
long enough. We ask the voters of
Forest county to look into this matter:
Mr.. Schoening is filling his third term
as Prothonotary of Elk county; Mr..
Reineman has been Prothonotary of
Venango nine ysars; Mr.. Waters, of
Warren, nine years. Why is this?
1t is because the Office of fProthonotary
is an important one to the citizens of
the comfy. requiring ability and prac-
tice, and familiarity with county bus
mess, and these men having shown
that they possess those qualities are
elected again. When a man comes to
the Prothonotary's Office to have bus
mess attended to he wishes it done in
way that he will know it is correct.
Men who have learned the business
can tell them about the matters in the
Office without trouble; without con-
sulting lawyers; without having to
take half day to hunt for matters
which they know nothing of and then
perhaps tell them wrong. Mr.. Shaw
key has proved to the people of this
county that he understands his busi-
ness, and that everything connected
with his Office is iii business like shape.
Here is what Warren county papers
says about him:
A GOOD OFFICIAL.-We notice that
the Tionesta REPUBLICAN, in speaking
of the candidates of the Republican n
party in that county, speaks of the
manner in which Justis Shawkey has
discharged mis- duties as Prothonotary.
We only refer to it TO add our testi-
mony to the faultless way in which the
records are kept, and the kind and
obliging manner of Mr.. Shawkey
Among lawyers and professional men
his repu tation is the best, and the
people of Forest county, irrespective
Dof party lines, can do no better than
to re-elect him next month Tidioatt
Neao8.
The business men Of Warren county
know when the ProthOnotary of For
est county does their business as il
should be done and say SO. Vote fol
Shawkey and rest assured that your
business will be dono correctly ant
that you can point with pride to the
ProthonOtary's office of your county a

an assurance that everything tha
comes through that Office is according
to the laws of business and of ouI
land.

JUDGE CHAs. j. FoLGER, of New

Judge FOlger is a man ofgreat ability,
and his appointment gives very gen.

country. Attorney General McVeagb
has peremtorily declined TO remain in
his position any longer, which has sub.
jected the President to no little en-

In the matter of publishing the
Auditors Report-upon which the
Commonwealth still harps-a majority
of the Board of Commissioners voted
to pay $50 to each paper, having
thought that to be but a fair compeu.
sation for doing the work. Then they
voted to publish in two papers only
those two papers to be the Nationa
Democrat and the FOREST REPUBLI
CAN. Then after this was done and
the matter had been decided, one ot
the Commissioners presented a propo
sition from Mr.. Dingman to do the
work for $25. These facts can be sub
stantiated by the Board of Commiss
toner's. Ii Mr.. Dingman had beer
disposed to act square in the matter
why was not his proposition handed il
before any action or vote had beer
taken ? No; he knew that $25 wa
not decent compensation for doing
that work and he didn't want it fo
that price, but merely made that prop
osition thinking to subject the Com
missloners to some embarrassment
This covers the whole ground and j

capital out of the matter, which tn,

For Sheriff.

Captain G. w. Clark, the Republi.
can candidate for Sheriff of Forest
county, is man of the people. In
military life he did his duty as a
patriot, and in the long peace which
has followed the bloody war that tried
mems souls, like Cincinnatus he has
followed the plow and the peaceful
pursuit of farming. Moving on to an
old worn.out farm, by his industry,
skill and perseverance he has made
the barren fields that formerly bore
the briar and the mullen stock, to
change from desolation, and in the
language of the inspired prophet,
'has caused it to bud and blossom as
the rose." He is one of the kindest
neighbors and most peaceable citizens
that Forest county eontains--ever
ready to help the needy, and assist in
any cause that has for its object the
welfare of the people. He has been a
true and earnest Republican from the
foundation of the party to the present
time. Captain Clark-as well as every

A REPUBLICAN BLUNDER.
Which Some Regard as a Repub-
licaH Crime.
Philadelphia telegraph

Philadelphia Telegraph
That the republicans blundered po-
litically and financially, in regard to
the democratic refunding scheme,
everybody Is now ready to admit; and
while, if the mischief is to be uadone,
an extra session becomes inevitable,
President Garfield and his advisers
hesitate whether 10 accept a positive
disadvantage, or TO risk mourning a
probable one Of greater proportions.
The republican majority Of the house
in the new congress will be exceed
ingly small, even if all three of the
vacant seats should fortunately be
filed by republicans; but it is posi-
BILE that Mr.. Mortol's seat NAV DO
filled by a democrat, for no New York
city district can always be oonfden-
TALLY relied upon 10 give a republican
majority. If Mr. Morton's should
not do so, the republican majority
would be reduced TO one, and though
that would ordinarily be enough, it
might prove insufficient in cases where
some Of the members entertained
convictions of duty to the country
above convictions of duty to their
party. There is another view Of ,he
matter that the republican leaders
are probably considering with a good
deal Of solicitudc, which is the great
advantage the democratic minority
will have in the house in the way Of
leadership. The majority will be
practically without leaders, as all
their best men have been translated
to the senate, or have disappeared
through expired terms. The loss Of
Hale, Frye and Conger cannot be
made up, and there is no republican
upon the feor Of the house who can
compare with Randall either in de-
bate or IN tho use Of sharp paIlia-
ment8ry weapons Of aggressive war
fare. In fact, il might be worth while
for the republicans to re-elect Mr..
Randall speaker, only to keep him off
the floor, provided he would agree to
stay of it.
