Where Utz is best known he will
be cut the worst. For proof of this
! assertion we only need to call the
attention of the voter to the Dele
gate election when he only received
seven majority in his own Boro.,
over a candidate ten miles dis
tance. His neighbors with the ex-
ception Of Scouten, say he is not
the person for Jhe office. Owing to
dissipation. We have this from
taxpayers of Dushore boro, and if
you doubt us, we insist upon your
writing to some disinterested party
residing in said boro, and obtain the
desired proof of our assertion. A
thirty dollar whiskey bill is a good
deal to pay for whiskey
consumed in one month. Such con-
duct would cause dissipation to any
man and in time would render him
mserviceable to public administra-
ton. Reader whether you be q
temperance man or drinking man
you desire that when YOU place
legal documents in the hands of a
county official that the papers have
due consideration and that they be
properly looked after. His friends
may call your attention to his term
Of 1877, this is all right, but ten
years of continual dissipation has
caused big ckange to overcome
John Utz.

At the election next month the
people of Sullivan county will have
an opportunity Of voting ioT poor
or rich man for the Office of Sheriff.
Mr.. Lawrence the poor man and Mr..
Utz conceded to be one ofthe wealth
lest men in Sullivan county. Mr..
Utz was not the choice Of the Demo
cratic party. Mr.. Lawrence was
placed before the people in square
and proper way, no chicanery OF
bribery WAS used to nominate him
For whorc will you vote?
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1889-10-25

Hundreds of Democrats all over
the county refuse to support utz
for Sheriff, because he is a wealthy
man and has had the Office once.
They condemn him also because he
is head of II corrupt ring in the
Democratic party. Will Lawrence
is a poor man honest man and well
qualified to do the business, has
never saught Office before and is the
peoples choice for Sheri1t-Giye Il
poor man your ballot-Do not
thrust riches upon riches but vote
for a man that is obliged to work
for his daily bread like yourself.
Utz is a retired gentleman with lots
of cash by his side. Examine the
recording books in the Prothono-
tary's Office if you doubt our asser-
ton and see the thousands of dol
lars entered up against poor men of
the county in his favor. If none
but rich men can be elected to coun-
ty offices when will your chance
come. Consider this gentlemen and
we feel sure that you will give the
poor man your support, on the 9th
Of November.

J. w. Mansfield an old time Demo,

j. w. Mansfield an old time Demo-
crat of Lopez, previous to delegate
election, received a letter trom
Mr.. Utz containing money.
The letter requested Mr.. Mansfield
to do all in his power to elect his
(Utz's) delegates. Mr.. Mansfield
refused to accept the money ana
handed it over to an associate
To-day Mr. Mansfield says he Will
not support any man who can not
get the nomination of his own party
without the use Of money. He says
if his character and veracity is not
sufficient for him to gain the dele
gates he is not II fit man to repre-
sent the people Of the county. This
is a very important question to be
considered. Shall the rich man be
King. This use of money is what
defeated F. NJ. Crossley in the Con
yention and if tolerated will have
the same effect upon every poor
man who comes before the Conven-
ton. Voters, vote it out OF eXis-
tence.

This is no accounting for tastes.
Here is what three good citizens of
Laportc Boro, say in 4 card to the
Prohibitiouists OF Sullivan county:
1--WE selected Mr.. Grim and employ
ed him for this work because we be
lieved he was true man and well
qualified; expected and offered to
pay HIM AS we would any other per-
son who would work for us"
They might have added that Grim
was paid money for making speeches
IN favor Of the Prohibition Amend
ment last Spring, and Immediately
after the election went off on big
drunk" They might have added
that Mr.. Grim went straight from a
consultation with John Utz into the
Prohibition meeting and took a
leading part in favor of the nomina-
ton of Prohibition candidate for
Sheriff. AS it is now proven that
Mr.. Grim was selected and employed
for him to assist in getting up the
Convention it is fair inference that
he was working for pay in the Con
vention. 1T was not John Utz S
money that paid his bills, whose was

The charges which the Gazette
makes against our candidate for
Sheriff in It's issue last week are about
as follows:
William Lawrence is member of
the firm of Lawrence Bros. The
firm have established Il furniture
store in Dushore. Therefore they
must he rich. Again the firm of
Lawrence Bros. are contractors and
builders and employ 10 or y men
Therefore they must be rich. Again
Lawrence Bros. have built two
dwelling houses in Dushore for their
families TO live in. Therefore they
must be rich. 1t is not our purpose
to depreciate the circumstances OF
! awrence Bros. As we have said
heretofore they are young active
business men and are putting forth
their full strength in business en-
terprises. They are the kind of
men who do the people good. The
profits from the office of Sheriff Will
do them good. Should William
Lawrence be defeated because he is
in business? Should he be defeated
because he has built house in Du-
shore to live III We do not know
that there is any reason why a man
who has built a dwelling house in
Dushore should he condemned.
Should Lawrence be defeated be
cause he employs men to work with
him in his business as a builder
Yet such are frivolous objections
made against him by the Gazette.
1t says: "This does not look as if the
voters Of Sullivan county ought to
vote for Mr.. Lawrence on account
of bis poverty" No one has advo-
Gated his election on the ground Of
poverty. The Gazctte shirks the
point of contention. We have said
that William Lawrence has no
money to spend to cary the election.
This is true; and further he is not
the kind of q man to corrupt voters
with money if he had it.
We have said that his competitor
is rich man, and the Assessment
books in the Commissioners office
prove it. He has thousands Of
dollars drawing interest. He does
no work; he shaves notes, and
speculates.
He can command ready money in
large amounts any day. That he is
using it freely to assist in his cleo
ton is not denied. That the lovers
of Doodle are training in his ranks
is certain. All who are acquainted
with both candidates must admit
that Lawrence is morally and in
tellectually so far above Utz that
they cannot be compared together.
We shall be amazed il the good
people of Sullivan county do not rally
10 the support Of Lawrence end
elect him by a rousing majority.

What John s. Wise Thinks?

In reference 10 the 'pretended compro'
mise" as the Valley Virginion denominates
it, between the Republican factions in this
State, John S. Wise is reported as saying
in New York that "that compromise is all
turkey for Malone and all buzzard for the
ants, AID that it will practically give Ma
hone entire control of the republican State
convention and OF the republican organiza-
ton in Virginia"
In the lengthy interview published origin
ally by the New York Mail and ErpresS
last week, John S. Wise said that the Ma
hone State Republican convention would do
exactly what Malone wanted to &c done
that it would nominate Malone for Gov
would amend the organization if he wanted
it done, and if not it would not be done
that he had beer given control Of 30 many
appointments as to make it impossible for
the opposing faction to have fair chance,
and that he did not think they should take
any part in sending delegates to that Con-
venton, for by SO doing they would merely
bind themselves to the action of the Con.
ven ion without having the power to con-
troll it in the slightest degres-that they
should stand off and await the action of the
Convention, and then determine what they
should do, and not go TO the Convention to
be manacled by Alahon ; for that would be
their fate, for whatever Malone wants that
Convention to do, that will it do. This is,
in double sense, Wise counsel.

The Charleston News and Courier says:
''The southern policy of President Harri-
son so far as it has been developed in South
Carolina, bears very close family like.
ness to the southern policy of his republican
predecessors in Cffice. The carpet-bagger
appears to have tha Inside track--the ua-
tive republican can crawl under the canvas
and see the animals go round"
Yes, adds the Atex- Gazette" it seems
that wherever native southerner, not only
in South Carolina, bat throughout the ell
tire South, has had for a rival, in his appli
cation for al ofilca, either a carpet Dagger
or negro, he has almost invariably been
turned down. But that auch is the case is
by no means unsatisfactory to southern
democrats, as it necessarily strengthens
their determination to maintain their solid
ity, as long at least as existing circam-
stances shall continue.

How DID MALONE PULL THE Wool
OVER THE EYES OF THE PREsIDENT?-The
Richmond Dispatch asks the question and
answers it as follows
allow has Malone succeeded so complete
ly in pulling the wool over the Presidents
eyes? Not BE- glib tongue, nor by appa-
rent sincerity in his representations, nor by
cajDli1g NJ. Harrison, nor By assumed de-
votion to his fortunes The little General
has simply employed Quay as his go.be-
tween. FIR months and months Malone
has remained in Washington, seldom see
ing the President, never obtruding his COM
pauy upon b,ru but always having Quay at
the White House to speak good word for
Malone whenever he could do so "acc;dent
ally.' Tia President would not listen to
Malone in person, but he suffered himself
to be totally deceived by Quay, who was
nothing mlre nor less than Mahone's proxy
Surprising that he was couferring with q
confidential friend of his own, tie President
was in reality holding converse in regard to
his most secret purposes with tool Of Ma
homes. Thus it was that Malone through
third party accomplished what he could
not possibly have complished in person.
W hat is he remedy? There is but one
thing fer the Yosts, the Lewises, Wise,
Cameron, Bnwden, Pendieton. Berkeley,
and the ra t Of the anti Maboneites to do.
And that i, to convince the President that
Quay played him false in pretending to be
his conf ieatial adviser as to how he should
treat Mahoqe. Let these gentlemen satisfy
the President upon this point and their
troubles will be over; for they will at
once ba ass'gued the place in his esteem
which @ Tag has secured for Mahone."

Mr.. Clarkson is charged by the editor of

with having purchased goods which he

cations for 4th class postoffices in Virgin
ia would be considered unless Endorsed by
General Malone, and with having denied
to the President that he had ever dreamed
of saying anything of the kind; he is charg-
ed by John S. Wise with having made the
appointment Of Mr. Grubbs as postmaster
at Richmond part of the recent ''compro-
mise" between the two wings of the Re-
publican party in Virginia, and with hav-
ing looked him in the eyes in the presence
of the President and denied having done
any such thing, though he, Wise, had his
letter in his pocket, and produced it, at the
time, stating that he had. And yet Mr..

There is, as tho N. Y. Herald says, a
good deal of excitement throughout the
country just now ever the experiments made
BY various American physicians With liquid
which DR.. Brown Sequard. of Paris, de-
clares 10 be rejuveuator of aged men? The
elixir is obtained from the glands of Sdogs,
rabbits. guinea pigs, lambs, and 9th er ami.
mails.
The discoverer of this alleged restorer of
youthful vigor has described in detail
through the columns of the London Lancet
the effects Of sub cutaneous injections upon
himself
Hs is seventytwo years old At the time
he subjected his body to the new tire atment
be was 50 weakened By old age that three
or four hours work in the laboratory would
quite exhaust him. He had to sit down ev-
cry half hour. The Doctors physical pow
ers were generally decayed.
After inoculating himself with the liquid
the Doctor says that be seemed to recover
the strength and energy he possessed a
quarter of a century before. He was able
to work withont fatigue, could run up stairs,
and suddenly developed as much muscular
power as he had in his prime. All sorts of
remarkable and desirable changes took
place in the person of DR.. Brown Sequard.
That is his story. In support of it he cites
the experience of DR.. Variot, who tried the
elixir on three old men with similar results
In order to see whether the effect was due
to Imagination DR.. Variot injected pure
water into the body of one subject. 1t had
no effect. Then he used the rejnveuator
and tho old man became spry aud vigorous.
These statements are supported By the
report Of Dr. Hammond, who recently
operated on himself in Washington and
found his youth returning. Physicians all
over the United States are trying the liquid
and report that it is success.
Somehow the whole thing has an air OF
humbug and quackery. Still, the evidence
Is growing, and there may be something in
it after all.

1t is stated that Charles Gee, of Virginia
has been assigned to duty at Sitka, Alaska
as a timber agent of the general land office
to cooperate with the United States dis
trict attorney in suppressing depredationi
on valuable government timber land. Ac-
cording to this, government believes it tt
be worth while to protect the timber Of
Alaska. The conflicting reports regarding
that country will puzzle any one to tel
what it's timber amounts to. The predomi,
mating wood is Sitka spruce.-NorthweSt.

State Senator Gee, of the Petersburg
district, is the fortunate recipient of the

He is a steadfast adherent of Malone.
The Zimmerman is good authority for
stating the character and value Of the
forest products of any country. Its ex-
pressed conclusions as to the timber re-
sources of Alaska ale evidently correct
The special agent of the Government who
has investigated the timber growth OF
Alaska reports only the kind named in the
extract from the Lumbernaan. There is
neither present nor prospective commerce
in this material from that remote point.

Malone VIII Make Himself the Issue.

In reference to an interview with Col.
VIM. Lamb, of Norfolk-the supposed
choice of Malone for Governor-published
in the Washington Post, in which be es-
says to set forth the principles and plat
form of the Republicans of Virginia, the
Valley Virgiaian, among other things,
says
"The Republican Cow ention may form
ulate any platform it may please-may de-
clare for all the principles of the Republi

that will be made the supreme issue. AND
with it, there is not an intelligent man il
the State, whether he be Republican OF
Democrat, who does not know what the
result will be.
Gen. Malone has made it paramount
and an essential point in his management
and tactics to make war upon every Re
publican in the State who would not veal
| his collar. He has so narrowed the inter
ests of campaigns as to make them cover
and comprehend alone his selfish purposes.
He has planned and plotted, and prosti
tuted his splendid abilities to humiliate
and enslave every Republican who is not
willing to submit to his methods and obey
his orders. He consorts with none but
those who will be subservient to his will
and cover under his authority. He does

nothing for the principles of the party; ex.
cept as their advocacy may subserve his
personal ends, and give him the power tc
prescribe those who are not willing to sub
nit to the yoke he would impose.
Col. Lamb knows these things as well as
any other man in the State, and he knows
| further that there are thousands of Re
publicans in Virginia who will enter al
earnest protest against such despotisn
when the proper time comes to do So"
