Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1889-10-11

A notable trio, with their heads
together at the Forksville Fair, were
John Utz, John Scouten and A.
Logan Grim.
The sharpest and most incisive
talker among the Democrats at the
Forksville Fair was William Hotten-
stein of Forks. He kept an interested
group around him most of the time.
He showed up the character of John
Utz from sway back" In the light
Of his rem eniscences the Democratic
standing of John Utz "grew small
by degrees and beautifully less, un-
til not Democrat in the crowd
could say word in his favor Hot
tenstein says he has nothing against
Utz personally but it makes him tir-
ed to hear them call Utz Democrat.
'If fighting the Democratic party
makes a good Democrat" he says
"then Utz is n good Democrat, for
he has done more to destroy the
Democratic party in Sullivan county
than any other man."
A friend of Utz tried to silence
Hottenstein by saying they would
fight him if he ever wanted any
thing. Hottenstein replied "when
| ask for anything you may fight
me if you want too, but if you do
for me as you do for Utz the more
| fight the nominees OF the Demo
cratic party the surer | will DC OF
your support" The crowd cheered
and the Utz man departed without
further remarks.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1889-10-11

Considerate men are asking "why
does John Utz want to be sheriff.
Who can tell. He has been Sheriff
once and can gain no honor by
holding the office again. He has
business enough now, and the leglti-
mate profits of the office are not
much to q wealthy man like him.
He must know that his election If
elected, will cost him more round
dollars than the legitimate profits of
the office will bring him. Why does
he want it? Some people think that
he and his smart son-in-law have
in view some cunning scheme to make
money out of unfortunate debtors
at Sheriff's sales. 1t is said that
for ways that are dark and for
tricks that are vain the heathen
Chinee is peculiar, but John Utz
knows more about shaving notes
aid managing executions than John
Chinaman ever thought of, and
when he gets his head along side of
that smart limb Of the law who is
helping him run his campaign it will
be wonder if the legal squeezer
is not worked with such deXterity
that filthy lucre will run into their
pockets like apple Juice from a cider
press.

John Utz VS. William Lawrence is
the case on trial before jury of all
the voters of Sullivan county. The
issue is shall n rich mans money be
stronger to win votes than an honest
mans intelligence and integrity.
The rich mans money nominated
him. The rich mans money pushed
honest Frank Crosslcy off of the
track. but it was done suddenly and
secretly that the people had no
chance to save him. They can sus-
tain him hereafter if the moneyed
man is rebuked by defeat. The
issue is now clear to all. What
shall the verdict be? Can tie ma
jority of the voters of Sullivan coun-
ty be hired or whipped in to elect
one unworthy rich man, and defeat
Il worthy poor man. William Law
renee is a hard working, clear headed
mechanic; good citizen competent
and worthy of the office. He did
not seek the nomination; it was
urged upon him. He said before he
was nominated that he could not
take money from his business to eX-
pend in the election campaign, nor
did he believe III eXpending money
in that way even if he had it. He
was assured that the people wanted
lust such man That it was time
bribery and corruption should cease
in this county, and they wanted a
man not able to spend money, in
order that the voters of the coun-
ty could have fair chance to show
that they are sound to the core and
will uphold true man, who comes
before them with clean hands and q
pure heart. Men of Sullivan county
we say unto you this is not a trifling
issue. 1t is not merely Utz or
Lawrence to serve writs and attend
Sheritf's sales. This issue is far
deeper and more important than
that. The question is, will you toll
crate the buying of votes? Are you
content to see Tom Dick and Harry
running around electioneering with
the price of their manhood in their
pockets? Can you rest easy to see
l. X. Y. and u calling up crowds and
treating them with whiskey pur-
chased with the candidates money I
Can you wink at political prostitu-
tion as you see it carried on by
| hired runners and their dupes and
slaves ? These are not Hypothetical
Iquestlons, but as oil men know they
are sad solemn questions based on
lexisting facts. Now is the time oh
honest men! Now is the time to sci
the seal of everlasting condemnation
on the vile political methods, which
are endangering our republican
form of government.
Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1889-10-11

With this issue we enter upon the
eighth year of the publication of the
SULLIVAN REPUBLICAN. When we
bought the plant we did so with some
doubt as to the wisdom of attempt
ing to publish Republican paper
in this county. We determined.
however, to give it fair trial, be.
lieving that Democrats as well as
Republicans would prefer an honor
able and open opponent to q
secret enemy. The result has prov
en- that an out-spoken; fearless
newspaper of Republican politics
can be supported in this county
We have BY hard work and strict
attention to business, paid off al
Indebtedness incurred in the pur
chase and are to-day the sole owner
of the REPUBLICANS, free from debt
and doing y fairly prosperous busi
ness.
During the past we have taken
part in every important question
which has arisen and have expressed
our views fearlessly and not at the
dictation of any one. While we are
publishing a Republican paper yet
we never have permitted PARTISAN
ship to blind our Judgment and our
readers can recall several instances
where the REPUBLICAN showed its
independence of mere party con
siderations. In the future as in the
past, the good of the county and OF
its citizens, shall be our first care,
and will faithfully endeavor to adj
vocate all measures or methods
which will advance the interests of
our county and we will fearlessly
expose any abuses we may discover
no matter where we find it,
As he is a working man himself
the editor naturally is in sympathy
with all movements which have a
tendency to better the condition of
working men. They are the true
bone and sinew of the country and
on their prosperity depends the
prosperity ofthe whole people. We
fully believe that the best and only
hope of relief for working men lies
in the Republican party. Under
whose wise methods the vast in
dustrial interests of this country
have been developed and maintained.
But the time has now arrived for
the great party which has unshack-
led four million slaves to unloosen
the fetters which bind the working
men. That should be done and, if
the workingmen themselves unite,
will be done without disturbing
society or injuring the best interests
OF capitalists. In little county like
Sullivan we can do but little, but
that little should be done. The
REPUBLICAN will be found on the
side of the people and advocating
right measures to the best of its
ability. TO enable us TO continue
our independent and untrammelled
course our friends should assist us
in such ways as they can and we con-
fidently rely on their support. We
hope in q short time to still further
improve ourpaper although it is now
giving more county news, including
the official news, than both the other
papers combined. But with more
space we could give additional value
to our readers, and we hope soon
to be able to announce the enlarge
ment.

If any one has doubts about John
Utz, let them ask Hiram Long, an
honest farmer of Cherry township
what he thinks about him. Hiram
is too honest and retiring to say
much, but the Stenographer's report
of the testimony in the case of Nc
gladden. against Long will tell the
whole story.
We invite the smart son-in-law to
give the details of that suit in oul
columns.

amended so as to read: "Lead ore and
lead gross Il cents per pound, provided
that silver ore containing lead shall pay
. duty of IL cents per pound on the
lead contained therein"
Allison moved to amend paragraph 4SS
Gas to wood pulp by making it read !:
Mechanically ground wood pulp, $3.50
per ton dry weight; chemical wood pulp,
unbleached, Sc per ton; bleached, 81 per
ton." Agreed to.
Gray called attention to the section
which permits the importation in bond,
free of duty, of lumber, timber, ETC.,
necessary for the construction and equip
ment of vessels built in the United
States, for foreign account or owner
ship, or for employment in foreign trade,
and he offered an amendment 30
as to include plates, deck beams,
forgings, composition, metal and
all structural shapes, including ma
chinery and parts of machinery. The
existing law, he said, as we'll as the FAC.
ton named, were intended to encourage
ship building in the United States, but
only affected wooden vessels, while his
amendment would encourage the build
ing of iron and steel vessels.
Sherman objected to including ma
chinery or parts of machinery, as tha
would interfere with American machine
shops. After short debate and withou
disposipg of Gray's amendment, tht
Senate proceeded to executive business
and soon adjourned.

They Prepare and submit a Wool
Tariff.
WASHINGTON, January 12.-This morn
ing the Senate Committee on Finance
heard a delegation from the National
Wool Growers Association, the delega.
ton including J. H. Kirkpatrick, of Cali
fornia: The principal address was made
by Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, who spoke
in support of an incorporation into the
Tariff bill of wool schedule prepared
by committee of the Association.
The schedule proposed divides wools
into three classes-clothing, combing
and carpet. The duty on woods of the
first and second class is fixed at IL cents
per pound, including the hair of the
Alpaca goat, camel, llama and other like
animals; wools of the third class, valued
at II cents per pound or less, 3 cents

composed wholly or in part of wool OF
worsteds, 80 cents pound woolen rags
shoddy, ETC., 20 cents a pound; woods
dyed or otherwise prepared beyond scour.
ing or washing, same duty as manufac.
lures of wool.
Nearly all Of the delegation took a part
in the hearing. President Harpster in
sisted upon the committee recognizing
that President Cleveland made an issue
OF free wool in the recent election, but
that the wool n.en had won. The Sem
ate will consider the schedule next
week, but it is not deemed probable that
any material change will be recon-
mended by the committee.

Morgan sent to the Clerks desk an

ion of Canada or any province thereof,

A few changes as to phraseology were
made in the administrative sections, and
the reading of the bill was finished at
l AS P. M. Then Allison went back to
section 9, Gas to metholated spirits for
use in the arts), and had several changes
made in the phraseology so as to include
other substances for metholating spirits
besides wood naptha.
On motion of Allison, paragraph Z,

amended by increasing the rate of alco-
holic perfumery, including Cologne water
and other toilet waters, from $2 per gal
