DON'T spoil the Record.

No regular republican candidate has ever
been elected in Columbia county, except
commissioners, auditors and jury commits
sioners as provided for by the new con-
stitution. With these exceptions no re-
publican has held a county Office except
by appointment of republican govern ors to
fill vacancies. For 33 years we have had a
democratic President Judge, except one
year when Mr.. Peckham was appointed to
ill the vacancy caused by Judge Wood
wards resignation. For longer time we
have had democratic associate judges, with
the exception of Judge Monroe who was
appointed to fill vacancy caused by the
death of Judge Mann, in 1870, and who
was subsequently elected as an indepen-
dent. Judge Hughes was appointed in
1876 to fill the vacancy caused by the death
of Judge Monroe.
Since 1889 no republican has filled the Of
flee of Prothonotary except r. ii. Ringler,
who was appointed in place of W. II. Ent,
deceased. For forty years and more this
office ha been filed only by democrats, ex-
| cept few months.
No republican has ever held the office OF
Sheriff, or Register and Recorder by elec-
ton. No crookedness has ever been charg-
ed upon the party in any Of these offices in
all these years.
| With this record, what excuse can there
be now for the attempt on the part of Ger
tain democrats who are uniting with the
republicans to secure the election of ID. NJ.

thonotary? Having kept the republicans

A democratic Rally.


The Opera House was well filed last
Thursday night to listen to Hon. r. 4.
James Of Easton, and j. II. Fow, Esq, of
Philadelphia. Both Of these gentlemen are
fine speakers aud the constant outbursts of
applause indicated that they had the audi
encc with them from the start. Their tell
ing hits were right from the shoulder, and
their discussion of the tariff question was
clear and convincing. They showed how
republican protection has failed to protect,
and that not one of the promises made by
the republican party four years ago, has
been kept. The audience sat until half
past eleven, and would have gladly remain
ed longer. There was no torchlight pro-
cession to enthusc the crowd. There was
enthusiasm enough without it, The meet
ing was organized by the election of G. G..

Die d Of dphtheria, Oct. 6, Charles Jo-
seph Snyder, aged 13 years, 2 months, and
days. Died, Oct. "a, George r. Snyder,
age 1 year, 10 months, and 81 days. Died,
Oct. %, Jennie c. Snyder, age 16 years and
few days. The melancholy intelligence
of the death of these three children of Will
liam II, and Sarah Snyder has cast gloom
over our little village. Scarcely had the
earth closed upon the little boys and the
golden gate closed after admitting them,
until it opens to admit the sister, the only
remaining child. We mingle onr tears
with this bereaved family aud if the death
of these three are so deeply felt and so SIN
cerely mourned by others how robbed and
desoute must be the hearts of the father
and mother. Desolate but not without
comfort that the five little ones are all
''Safe in the arms OF Jesus
Safe from corroding care
Safe from the worlds temptation,
Sin cannot harm them there"
Thanks for the com mforts of the Gospel
and faith in Jesus Christ, the children's
Friend and Savior. They perceived like
Eli of old that the Lord had called them
and they were willing to go. They felt
that the eternal God was their refuge and
that underneath were the everlasting arms
OF love. May the vacancy thus made in
the hearts of these parents be more than
filed by the indwelling of that same heav-
enly Father who has seen fit thus to bereave
them. Sister Jennie was young lady of
very promising character. She gave her
heart to the Savior few years ago. She
was received into the Reformed church by
the solemn right of confirmation and has
ever endeavored to lead a useful and con-
sstent life. She was an active Sabbath
school teacher and regular attendant
upon the means of grace. She was one of
the few who regularly attend the Wednes-
day evening service.

that great care is given to this branch from
the first day in school. The interest and
proficiency of these children in Map Draw
ing, Arithmetic and Composition, branches
generally detested, are remarkable. When

are offered for twenty-five cents a week, II
is not surprising that wide awake parents
in our neighboring towns are improving

halliday there, sometimes with so much
interest that she spends the other hall
there also. This visitation by parents, es.
pecially mothers, stimulates the children to
better work, encourages the teachers, and
not only allays that anxiety every mother
feels for the welfare of her children, but
also cheers her, gives direction to her ef
forts in helping at night, and contributes
powerfully toward good understanding
between her and the teachers.
