Some More Questions.

EDS. COLUMBIAN:
A few weeks ago l requested Mr.. Krick-
baum to answer few questions over his
affidavit in some paper in the county,
which he refuses to do because the COM
munication contains an anonymous au-
thor.
| would ask Mr. Krickbaum again if he
did not purchase a barrel of cider from Au-
gustus Evarhart of Jackson township, and
place it in James Weirman's cellar to be
used for electioneering purposes +?
2nd. l also ask him if he did not invite
Messrs d. Karns, James Weirman and
Jesse Hartman to go with him to the
Mountain few weeks ago, keep them
clear, give them money and after he re-
turned to Bloomsbury, send Messrs. d.
Karns and Jesse Hartman each demi-
john of whiskey up in the stage2
3rd l also ask him if he did not get a
barrel of whiskey directly or indirectly, at
Fowler's distillery. and have it hauled to
the new Jail, and if his friends do not con.
gregate there at night and on Sunday to
drink it?
4th. also ask him if he has not re-
quested persons to bring their demijohns
to him to get them filed, during the pres
ent campaign, and if he has not had one in
the vault of his office?
9th. l also ask him if he has not had
boxes of beer delivered at the Lime Ridge
back of Alton, and in private cellars at
different places, and if he has not taken
whiskey with him electioneering
9th. / also ask him if he has not given
men money, whiskey and beer in violation
of the rules governing our County Conven.
tion and the election laws?
have not the slightest prejudice against
MIR. Krickbaum, but am violently op
posed to any candidate corrupting the peo.
pie to secure his election, which is a shame
and disgrace to any civilized community
If MIR. Krickbaum is innocent let him
make clear, clean and positive statement
N his affidavit. am sorry Mr.. Krickbaun
did not reply to my questions sooner so
would haye had an opportunity to reply
before the primary election.
Let it be definitely understood that We
want an honest, unequivieal statement, con
tanning positive facts, not one in which he
screens himself and places the responsible
ity upon his hirelings.
Yours Respectfully,

We would most earnestly recommend to
the public Mr., NJ. F. Eyerly, candidate for
the office of Register & Recorder, one well
qualified in every respect of sterling hon
esty and integrity, possessing also quite an
amount of legal knowledge which would
be of great service in said office; the old
est candidate, a man of considerable ex-
perience and worth, always an honorable
and respectable citizen of misplace. This
is one reason why he should be supported,
besides, in every position Mr. Il. has filed,
he tried to discharge his duties to the en-
tire satisfaction of all concerned, never
flinching when right was in the case, no
matter how distasteful task to perform,
his motto being 'do unto others as you
would be done BY" Mr.. f. will not court
public popularity or votes by the offer Of
free intoxicating drinks Gas remarked upon
by opponents), which should be no detri-
ment but rather an incentive, for men Of
intellect and culture TO support him. He
would rather lose the election than gain
1t in this manner,
This noble principle should elevate Mr..
Eyerly, not crush his prospects or be raised
as an obstacle in his way Just men of this
stamp are qualified for public offices, but
seldom nominated
Let all his friends prove such by doing
and working in good earnest, and wa
would say to him mi Disperandum."

Miss Name Sloan, daughter of the late
A. ] Sloan, died at her home on Sunday
morning. For some time she has been in
i'll health, but was confined to her bed only
for few weeks. Her sufferings were in
tense, but she retained consciousness until
the last moment, and expressed her will
lingness to die. She was young lady OF
lovable disposition and Christian character,
and her loss is heavy one to her associ-
ates and friends. To her aunt, Miss Mat
tie Wells, who for many years has filed
the place Of mother, and to her brothers,
II. w. and w. NJ. Sloan, her death is q
severe blow, and the sympathy of the CON-
munity is with them in their bereavement.
The funeral took place on Wednesday af-
ternoon at two o'clock, at the Episcopal
church, Rev. Mr.. Hall of Danville oficia-
ting in tho absence of the rector, Rev. L.
Zahner, who was unavoidably absent from
town.

The game of ball between Berwick and
Bloom last Saturday, resulted in favor of
the latter by 10 to 8. At the end of the
eighth inning it stood 8 to 0, and on the
ninth the Berwick boys were put out with
out run, by three successive flies taken
by Klechncr in the left field. Bloom went
to the bat and made one run and the game
closed without playing the inning out. Ber-
wick imported pitcher and catcher from
Nanticoke, and came evidently with the
expectation of winning an easy victory,
and were considerably disappointed at the
result. During the game there was too
much fault found with the umpire. He in
tended to act fairly, and did so to the best
of his judgment. The loud talk of specta-
tors and unfavorable criticism of the UNI
pire during the game ought to be stop
red.

that we Internationally adhere to all we

Bloomsbury, and followed his profession
until his removal to Scranton year or two

make the mistake of concluding always
that any opinion different from theirs is

some peoples opinions are just as good as
some other peoples.

Early in the spring the COLUMBIAN an
nounced that Its columns were open to
anybody for the discussion of any subject
proper for publication. 1t has invited cor.
respondence touching the political situation
In this county, but received only two or
three communications, and to these the
writers were unwilling to sign their names.
1t has boldly denounced all political meth
DDS that have a corrupting tendency, and
insisted that the campaign should be con-
Quoted entirely within the law and the
rules of the party. To show that IL was
sincere in this, it offered to subscribe fifty
dollars towards fund to be used in the
conviction Of any person who violated the
election laws, and urged that the fund be
enlarged to five hundred dollars. Not a
single individual endorsed the proposition,
and not cent has been offered by any
body towards such fund. One Of sew
eral things must be true there is no re-
form necessary, or this paper has been
mistaken in its efforts to bring it about.
We have insisted that il any person
know of improper practices on the part of
any candidate, that the fact should be pub
lished, openly, honestly and fearlessly, and
have offered to print anything on the SUBJ
ject that was accompanied by the name of
n responsible person. We have frequently
criticised the practice of circulating char
ges against candidates, and have insisted,
and always will insist, that such charges shall
be fairly made and openly sustained, or be
looked upon with suspicion. We have en-
deavored to be strictly impartial and have
had no regard for persons in the applica-
ton of these principles, seeking only that
which, as a general rule, we believed to be
for the best interests Of the party. All
that can be done now is to urge all
voters to attend the delegate election on
August 9th, and cast their ballots for those
who they believe are best qualified for the
positions to be filled. If you believe any
candidate incompetent, do not vote for
him; il you believe any one dishonest,
vote for some one else; If you believe that
improper means hayc been used to secure
votes, vote accordingly. AT all events, Go
TO THE POLLS AND VOTE.

sworn according to law, deposeth and
saith. That to all of the above questions
except 4th deponent says, No.
AS to 4th question deponent has this to
say Sometime in October of last year, ar
rangements were made with the commit
teemen of Fishingcreek, Benton, Jackson
and Sugarloaf tow aships to meet the coun-
ty chairman and deponent at Benton, for
the purpose of making arrangements to get
out the Democratic vote in the aforesaid
townships; having met at the time appoint
ed and when about ready to proceed to
business Mr.. Everhart of Jackson stopped
in front of the Hess Hotel, and when re-
quested by the deponcnt to come into the
house. replied, that he had barrel of
sweet cider to dispose of first. The depon-
ent wishing him to assist in the caucus,
thought the only way to make sure of it,
was to get rid of The cider, asked Nh Wire
man if he wanted it, and upon his answer
ing in the affirmative the deponent order
ed it to be taken to Mr.. Wireman's and then
paid for it. What Mr.. Wireman did with
it the deponent has no knowledge. AS to
the barrel of whiskcy the deponent says,
that he has not a barrel of whiskey at the
new Jail nor anywhere else.
In answer to slanderous reports circulat
ed by VIM. II. Snyder that the deponent
sent out demijohns of whiskey by the Ben
ton stage to Daniel Harms, James Wiremar
or to any other person, are untrue and
for the purposes of deceiving the voters
