Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1889-10-04

Athens which was begun by Mr..
Robert A. Packer decd some years
past, was completed recently and
was consecrated to divine worship
on Sept. oath. Our friend S. p.
Kelly was among the clergymen
present at the conservation.
William j. Lawrence is in no
sense politician. Although he has
always been n conscientious Repub-
lican, he has never taken any other
interest in politics except to cast
his vote. He is no "blower," has
never been in any rings, and is no
political "bummer. His whole life
has been spent in hard work and
attention to his business. His
integrity is of the very highest and if
elected to the office of Sheriff he
will give the county Il clean, honest
and impartial administration of the of
fee. He is not so well known perhaps
as his opponent, but throughout the
Eastern end of the county where he
has followed his business of carpen-
rand builder he can bring hundreds
of men, Democrats and Republicans,
to testify to his high intelligence,
fairness and integrity. We predict
for him great popularity in his
manner of conducting the office, if
he Is elected, of which there is
scarcely doubt.
No better qualified man for Sheriff
was ever nominated in Sullivan
county than VIM. j. Lawrence. He
is clean pure upright citizen. He
is not a rich man, but he certainly
is worthy one. No wonder that
from all sides, people are speaking
good words for him. He is man
of the people. He is a man for the
people. a vote for Lawrence is a
vote for an honest, worthy, and
capable man.
The friends of John Utz through
out the county are at loss to find
something good to say in his defence.
The past life of Mr.. Utz politically,
has been of such q character that it
would puzzle the keenest politician
to defend him by quoting the same.
He has been poison to the Demo
cratic party for the past ten years
and he should now suffer the sting
which he has caused many others to
suffer. Democrats isn't this fact
lie refused to support Mike Nc
Donald in 1887 simply because
Mcdonald was successful in recoy-
ing the nomination for Treasurer in
the Democratic convention over
Ransom Thrasher. If John UtZ is
the leader of the Democratic party
of Sullivan county, follow his ex-
ample and when he puts the follow
ing question to you: "Wll you
support me-" say "no, but 1 will fol
low your example"
The only time Utz had an office
he beat Hon. John g. Wright the
regular Democratic nominee, and
only few years ago it was tried by
certain Dushore politicians, to get
the Republicans to nominate only
one candidate for Associate Judge
and it was said John Utz would then
come out as an Independent. This
was when Yonkin and Taylor were
on the ticket. The truth is Utz is
neither Democrat or Republican bui
simply free lance who drives the
knife into any one who will not be
bossed by him. The fair minded
men of Sullivan county will admins
ter suitable rebuke to him this
Fall.
The few so called Democrats who
stick to Utz are saying "Utz We:
fairly nominated, he is on the ticke
and you must vote for Utz or neve.
ask for the support of the Demo
Gratis" Apply this to John Ut
himself. Has he voted the straight
ticket when it was fairly nominated
Ask Jacob A. Meyers, ask JOIN
Yonkin End, ask Sheriff Tripp. asl
