SprOut VS. MInts.

The decision of the Supreme Court
on Monday last finally ana the equity
suit brought in 1885 against A. NJ.
Mints by A. r. Sprout. The suit
arose over a lumber contract. Sprout
claimed thab Mints had disobeved
orders and Mints insisted that the
orders could not be obeyed and that
Sprout had not done his part toward
carrying out the contract The case
was referred to John II. Cronin, Esq.
of Dushore, as Master and Examiner,
who, after q thorough investigation
of the case, filed an able opinion ON
the law and facts, both OF which he
found to be in favor of the defen-
dant, Mints and he recommended
that the bill be dismissed ut the cost
of the complainant. The case was
next heard before Judge Sittser on
exceptions to the Masters Report.
The Judge filed a carefully written
opinion in which the exceptions were
sustained and the. injuction made
permanent, the costs being placed
upon the defendant, the Judge find
ing both the law and the facts in
favor of Mr. Sprout. The ease next
went to the Supreme Court and was
argued last March. After taking
the whole summer to consider it, the
Supreme Court, in an able opinion
by Justice Williams, finds that the
report of the Master was correct
both as to the law and the facts
reveIses the decision Of tie Common
Pleas, dismisses the bill and puts
the costs on Mr.. Sprout. Mr.. Cronir
no doubt feels repaid for his careful
work as the Supreme Court adopted
his opinion on the legal and equita
BILE questions involved, and it is high
ly creditable that so young a lawyer
should have laid down the true rule,
of law and equitable principles ap
phcablc TO so complicated case.

The Gazstte says: at is \ we'll
known fact that the Republicans in
Sullivan county have been running
whiskey and temperance campaigns
more or less for the last FIVE years.
This is one of those slurs on the
Republicans which the Ga
sette continually makes without any
regard Tor truth Having already
compared them TO "dumb cattle, J"
it seems to suppose they will truely
submit to wholesale lying. If
Streby had head enough above his
ears to hold Newell's plug hat on
he would not call attention to whiss
key campaigns at this stage of
the game. John Utz may well cry
out save me from my friends. The
Democrats Of Sullivan county do not
run whiskey campaigns; but how is
it with Utz ? If Streby can't an~
swer let Grim take the floor. The
Gdxette asserts that if Utz is elected
Sheriff, he will do more for those in
financial embarrassment than the
Republican candidate is able to do.
This is taunting Mr.. Lawrence be-
cause of his lack of wealth. Elect
Utz because he has money: Defeat
Lawrence because he has none.
What is the meaning of it? But
where is the evidence that John Utz
will help those in financial embar-
rassment /? Give him good security
and big bonus, and John will help
YOU; but it is that kind of help which
finally eats into the marrow of a
poor mans bones.

The frantic squeals in last weeks
Gazette over the action of the
Prohibitionists in refusing to pun
Democratic Chestnuts out Of the fire
were exceedingly refreshing. The
whislley soaked coteric which just
at present seems to be running the
Democratic councils, were in hopes
that the Temperance people would
nominate a candidate and thus boost
their man into office. Just why the
Temperance people should elect Utz
and beat Lawrence is not very clear
to any one. Utz is notoriously in
temperate and is the most adept
and dangerous in this county in
handling whislley and whiskey in
terest at elections. Lawrence is Il
temperate, steady, hard working
honest man. While not a Prohibi-
tionists, he is Temperance man,
and he would be an honor and q
credit to any party. We ask Streby
to state if he knows Of a mere hon
orable sober, quiet, efficient intelli-
gent and decent minded man in
Sullivan county than viii Lawrence? !?
It was natural therefore that the
friends good government in the
Prohibition Convention, those who
favor a sober and impartial officer
rs Sheriff, united to vote down the
scheme of the Utz clique. Why
shouldn't they do 50 Mr.. Streby? ?
Honestly don't you think that
friend Of sobriety would prefer
sober man TO an Incorporate one
OF course every one knew that
nomination for Sheriff by the Tenn
perance Convention would help Utz
just that much. Grim and Scouten
Cvin roses IRON single stem) well
knew that "no nomination meant
injury to Utz. They evidently ex-
pect no temperance votes,
else why so fierce for nomination
As far as our own action is concern
ed we abide by it. lfit is sin to
vote for a Temperance man we will
su1er accordingly. We think Mr..
iIuckell can also stand the attacks Of
the Utz party. Is thirty years of de-
votion TO the principles of Temper
ance, advocating it in the rostrum
and practicing it in private life, do
not give Mr. Huckell the right to
take part IN council ofTemperance
men, it is high time that Mr..
Grim, Mr.. Scouten and Mr.. Utz be
recognized as leaders of Temperance
people This attack of Grim and
Utz upon Mr.. Huckell IS merely
shameless enrontory. Mr. Huokell's
Temperance is of the sterling quality
and is not hypocritial sham.
But we are giving altogether too
much space to the gazette howl,
for every one knows that the action
Of the frohibitionist Convention
has almost surely settled the Sheriff
fight, and will result in giving SulIi-
van county sober, rel BILE and fair
minded official. In the meantime
brother Strehy you just keep on
squealing if it hurts.

The election IS Only about two
weeks of, but little attention is
given TO it by the voters. This
apathy is caused largely by the fact
that tie voters have made Up their
minds to support Lawrence. he is
accepted by the people as the man

the Office TO which the people have
nominated and viii receive their
votes. lie is a man Of superior
ability, with clear record and

have secured their nomination like
