There was q convention OF col.

Wednesday, ostensibly for the
purpose of adopting means and
measures looking towards the
amelloratlon and improvement of
their race. 1t is quite likely that
the meeting was gotten up by the
Republicans for political purposes.

DO you mean to give notice to all who

In 1884 barrel of whisky was
taken to the jail during the campaign
between KrickbGum and Snyder. 1t
was alleged to ave been Purchased by
Krickbaum for use in the campaign.
He made an affidavit which rememb-
er seeing in your paper that he had no
barrel OF whisky at the Jail. A few
months ago in a newspaper controversy
between VIM. II. Snyder and w.
Krickbaum started as usual by the
latter, Mr.. Snyder publicly accused
Mr.. Krickbaum of having committed
perjury in this matter. and invited a
criminal prosecution if it was not so
Krickbaum did not prosecute, and did
not attempt again TO deny it. He
knew that the books at Fowlers distil:
lery showed that he, Krickbaum,
bought that barrel of whisky. Can
such man be trusted to represent
the interests of the peoplei He has
been tried. and found wanting; now
send him to the rear, and give us the

A DEMOCRAT
The Columbian. [volume] (Bloomsburg, Pa.) 1866-1910, 1890-08-01

Through an unlntentional oversight
last week, the card of Peter A. Evans
announcing that he had reconsidered
his intention to withdraw as a candid
ate for Representative, did not appear
in this paper. 1t will be found in this
issue.
Mr.. Evans reasons for Withdrawing
were considered sufficient by him, but
when he found how much dissatisfied
ION was created by his action he at
once yielded to the demands of his
friends, and reannounced his name.
This will not affect his chances for
nomination. 1t simply shows that he
is not au Office seeker, persistently
thrusting himself constantly before the
people for public pap, but that he is a
candidate because of large demand
10. his candidacy and because the
people want men in the legislature who
will represent Mena and not men who
seek the place for the sake of political
prestige and for their own personal
ends, and it is for this reason that Mr..
Evans was induced to run, as we are
informed, by general demand through
out the county.

Peter A, Evans Card.

Two weeks ago | withdrew my
name as a candidate for Memb-
er of the Legislature on the
ground that my personal inter-
ests were such that | did not
feel warranted in giving suffic-
lent time to make a proper can
vass. But since my withdrawal
many democrats from every
section Of the county have ap-
pealed to me to reconsider the
matter. No ordinary pressure
would cause me to change my
decision not to be a candidate.
But | feel that the very general
demand made of me by the de-
mocrats of the county to be
their candidate is too strong for
me to over look, and calls upon
me to lay aside my personal
concerns and announce my
name as candidate. ! will
make every honest endeavor to
secure the nomination, and if
nominated and elected will do
all in my power to serve the
best interests of the people.
Yours respectfully,
PETER A. EVANS.

five candidates announced for that Of

Krickbaum is again booming himself
for re- nomination to the Legislature,
and the way matters look in my Sec
tion it will require a great deal of
booming and fencing to enclose a
sufficient number of voters to renomi-
nate him. From the record he made
for himself, aud his conduct previous
to and since holding seat at Harris
burg, l should think him proper sub
iect to retire. l can call to mind FIVE
Members some of whom are dead, who
proved TO be corrupt and unfaithful to
their constituents of Columbia County,
and they were justly rebuked and set
aside by their respective Democratic
Conventions, while other men possess
ing honesty, competency and worth,
were chosen to fill their places. The
Democracy can correct their mistakes,
and one of them will be To retire Will

His vote on the fence question and his
miserable excuse for the same ought to
completely bury him with the farming
element of this county. He, pretend,
ing to represent the interest of the
farmer How many farmers in Colum-
bia county would have voted for that
fence bill favoring corporations and
injuring themselvesi Not one! Yet
he poses as the farmers friendl The
real effect of this fence law has not
yet been felt. Just wait till the fences
along the railroads rot down, aud the
farmers stock are found on the track,
some killed, train thrown off the
road, and then the fun will commence.
The farmer will lose his stock, be sued
for damages, and compelled to fence
up his horses and cattle, or fence up
the Whole railroad line through his
farm. You farmers, do you ever think
of iti This is only one Of VIM.
Krickbaum's bills, and it was support
ed by the most corrupt element in the
Legislature to final passage.
You have before you, asking your
support, Peter A. Evans, and an in
telligent farmer, in whom you can
safely trust. He will represent your
interests without going to the presi-
dent of a railroad company for advice,
when it comes to voting in the inter-
est OF corporations as against the far
mer. Columbia County is an agricultural
dittrict, and the people engaged in this
honorable pursuit-that of farming
have it in their power to nominate and
elect one of their number if they will
but avail themselves of the opportunity,
Peter A. Evans would be credit to
them and faithful to his constituents.

VINDIOATTON.

As Peter A. Evans of Montour Town
ship has presented himself to the
honest Democratic voters of Columbia
County to represent their interests in
the next Legislature, / hope Farmers,
Laboring men and tax payers will give
him their earnest support. We now
have an opportunity to look after our
interests and vindicate our rights
which were sacrificed by the last Legis
lature in regard to the Rail Road
fence law, which has made much
trouble through the country and put
thousands aud perhaps millions of
dollars in the pockets of Rail Road
Companies. This is evidence that one
of our previous Representatives did
not vote for the interests of those
who elected him. In my travels /
find farmers and laboring men gener
ally are anxious to be represented by a
farmer who will look after their inter
ests. In view of these facts ! now
hope they will give Mr.. Evans their
earnest support.

TO divide the Democratic vote and

"But Quay is no lsboring man him

The newspaper will answer the pur-

it will plead for the poor down-trodden

also urge that the corporations must

As William Kriekbaum is a candid
ate for reelection to the legislature, /
want to ask few questions through
your paper When a man asks the
people to keep him in public Office his
record ought to show that he is enti-
tied to be retained, and if it
does not show that, he ought to
be bounced, regardless of second term.
The mere fact that man has sscured
the nomination for office for the first
term does not entitle him TO a second,
unless ne has served the interests of
his constituents. Now what did Krick-
baum do in the legislaturei Did he
introduce any bills of any importancei
Did he make any speeches. II so, !
never heard of them, all that | know
about him is that he drew his salary,
ten dollars a day, and voted for the
repeal of the fence law, a vote that
was directly for the benefit of corpora
tions, and against the interests OF
farmers. The effect of that vote is to
compel all owners of cattle TO keep
them fenced in, and If they get on an
other mans land the owner must pay
damages, though there be no fenot
about the land. / want TO know what
reason Mr.. Krickbsum can give fol
