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

make first-rate Sheriff. We doubt
if the people of Sullivan county will
J give him an opportunity to show his
skill in this capacity.
The Republicans OF Sullivan coun-
tv are invited to be present at La
Porte on October 10th $50 at 2 p. M,
at which time and place Hon. Henry
X. Bower and Hon. VIM III Andrews,
Chairman Republican State Com
mittee, will be present and will pre-
sent to the Republicans of Sullivan
county the BANNER won in the
'SS campaign. The meeting will be
in conference. The visitors desire q
full house. Come by all means.
Remember the date, Wednesday,
Oct, 10th.
The motives which have induced
John Utz to oppose such men as
Hon. Bryan S. Collins and Michael
Mcdonald are too well known to
make it necessary for us TO state
them. It is a motive which he may
now wish to deny, but it is too late.
The bitterness is still in his heart
and only hides the time when he
can make it felt. Let those, and
those only, who share his hatred
for such men as B. S. Collins and
Michael Mcdonald vote for him.
The GAZETTE says ''nearly every
one" admits that Utz would make a
better Sheriff than Lawrence. We
have yet to hear of the first man who
has said that. In what way is Utz
better than Lawrence. Is he more
sober ? Is he more honest ? Is he
more careful? Is he more intelli-
gent? Is he more active? Is he
more free from political corruption ?
Is he filter man? VIII the
Gazette please answer these queries!
But the Gazette says that Utz has
helped more men financially embar-
rassed than any other man in the
county. This may be true and
the Judgment and mortgage docket
proves it. But is it favor to loan
4 man money on interest on n cut
throat note or mortgage. amply Sc
cured ? The payment of interest is
generally considered to be fair re-
turn for the lean of money. But Of
course if rich man loans poor
man money and secures 1t on little
farm and gets !, high rate of interest
he is a wonderfully good fellow and
has right to own the poor mans
body, vote and breeches. That APP
pears to be the Gazette doctrine,
but we venture to say it will not
be approved by the poor men of
Sullivan county. VIII Lawrence
gets his living with plane and ham
mer and dosen't have any coupons to
cut or interest to draw, but we don't
believe a man has to be rich to make
a good officer.
The Sullivan county Fair held
at Forksville last week was attended
by much larger gathering that for
the past two or three years. On
Thursday two thousand tickets
were sold which was from one to
two hundred more than has ever
been sold in one day. to previous
Sullivan county agricultural ex-
hibitions.
The exhibits with but few eXcep-
tions were not noticeable for their
superiority but was very fair and
equal to the standard. The display
in the main building was very good
and was visited with interest. The
exhibit of horses was not noticeable
for its number although in this de-
partment centred an attraction by
the appearance of yearllng colt,
color sorel weighing in the neighbor-
hood of $50 lbs. In the cattle de-
partment was stalled many valuable
cattle. The chief attraction here
was Holstein bull owned by l.. b.
/ Speaker. This Animal weighs II
hundred pounds and was an i'm
mense sight. The swine subdivis-
ion was good. We remained here
