The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1884-06-18

good faith. Such is the record Of our
candidate, andwe boldly aud nnhesitat-
ingly say, that if he should receive the
Congressional nomination iu our dis.
trict, with the Democratic and Green
back support he will undoubtedly re-
ceive in Forest, Clarion and Jefferson
counties, bis election is a foregone
conclusion. and no man will ever have
occasion to excuse his course in the
halls Of Congress, for we affirm it will
be in keeping with his past honorable
and successful business career. We
are Of opinion that Forest county's
candidate is in all honesty and fair
dealing entitled to the nomination,
and in case he receives same, will re.
ceive handsome majority in the dis.
trict.
For Assembly the Republicans
have nominated that Republican war.
horse, Mr.. Peter Berry that outspok.
en- champion Of Republicanism whose
integrity and honor can be relied on
at all times, and If elected whose
voice and influence will always be
found on the peoples side in the halls
of our State Legislature. Mr.. Berry
has done as much if not more Than
any other to develop the rich resourc-
es of our county, giving all Of his
time and most of his means toward
the procuring of that product which
has made our county one Of the great
est oil fields Of the State. He is full
of energy, pluck and perseverance,
and is Just the kind of timber that
makes good legislators, and we have
every confidence that his command.
ing presence will adorn the next
House Of Representatives.
For Associate Judge we have that
hard working, plain old citizen,
Lewis Arner. Many of our citizens
have known him for upward of forty
years, during all of which time they
have never known him to be idle a
moment when there was work to do.
LAUNDERING has been his employment
during these years, and he has won
considerable fame as a successful riv.
erman and jobber, and man of
sound judgment on all questions per-
tanning to affairs Of every day life.
Mr.. Arner is deserving of the Support
Of the laboring man for be is one
right in their ranks.
For Prothonotary, Recorder, &C.,
we have Curtis NJ. Sbawkey. 1t is
hardly worth while to say another
word on this subject, Mr.. Shawkey's
peculiar fitness for this position being
SO we'll known to every voter in the
county. Those who have ever had
business at the ProthonotaTy's Office
recognize the fact that a better man
could not be found, and it would re-
quire considerable trouble to find one
even as good. Those who doubt this
have only to go up and ransack the
Office and take look at the records
kept there. 1t is also a recognized
fact that people who 60 there to do
business are generally assisted in their
wants and made to feel welcome,
which is a wonderful help to those un-
accustomed to the intricacies of coun-..
ty records. In Mr.. Shawkey's election
the county will have an excellent
official.
For Sheriff the Republicans have
good candidate in the person of
Leonard Agnew. Nearly ever since
Forest has been county Mr.. Agnew
has been one of her active and ener.
getic citizens. He is therefore we'll
and favorably known to .he best aud
most prominent citizens We have.
Leonard was one o. the boys who re.
sponded to call in the dark days of
the war, and fought bravely for his
country in those times that try meu' S
nerves and souls. He is now one Of
the Grand Army boys, II member of
Stowe Post, and along with other com
rades wears the badge of horror. Mr..
Agnew has never before asked the
people for their support for political
pre!erment, and since his fitness for the
Office to which the people have nomi.
