NOT GUILTY.


The case was submitted without argu-
ment and the jury promptly returned tho
verdict Not guilty." as the evidence
against Smith applied equally to Gowens.
The Jury was then resworn and then de-
clared Gowens not guilty.
BOND SoLLR Prosecuted.
No evidence having been introduced
against Bond his case was n0te pros quied.
This trial, on account of the interest ex-
cited. the vast amount of evidence. and the
rapidity with which it has been concluded,
is probably the most remarkable ever held
in this county. The lawyers on both sides
worked with entire unanimity. Noadvan-
taee was taken on technicallties no OBJ
iections were offered TO any evidence.
The trial occupied but two days and was
perfect, the lawyers both for the defence
and for the prosecution simply trying TO
determine the facts OF the case.
no MORE TALK OF LYNcHISG.
As result the people are perfectly salts
fed with the verdict, as there Is no longer
any talk of lynching. Many persons be
lieve that Gowens and Smith murdered
Treasurer Caddall, but think that a case
was not made out against them.

Personal Experiences Illustrating tn
Reality of the Situation.


Reality of the Situation.
During the war we used to read OF
companies falling back, regiments Civ
ing ground, and brigades becoming de-
moralized, and the average reader took
it for cowardice and openly expressed
his contempt. No man ever went into
battle twice alike. No company, regiment
or brigade were ever situated twice
alike. A man may be very brave in ono
battle and very timid in the next. His
physical and mental conditions have
much to do with it. A private soldier
knows the position Of his entire brigade
in fight. II the position is strong
one he is encouraged; if the fianks arc
exposed or the defenses are weak he Is
nervous and apprehensive.
1t is grand stake the soldier plays
for in battle. If he wins he may live
on until the next fight. If he loses he

But the wrong being acknowledged,
the remedy obvious, the cause nothing
less than the restoration of the whole
people to their right Of self. government
with free choice Of public servants,
shall we abide the grace OF the bo 49, and
the pleasure of monopoly, or will we
take and enjoy our rights at oncei
The road is open and straight. No
one can mistake 1t, and no one does
mistake it. The election of the reform
candidates for the state offices and of
a majority of the reform candidates
for the legislature will produce a call
for an immediate constitutional
vention to eliminate the
marked ballot provision from our con-
stitution, and to establish the Austria
lian system of secret voting, making
every man his own master at the polls.
With this free and secret ballot we
need have no fear for the future,
Whether Pennsylvania thereafter shall
be Democratic or Republican, or nei-
ther, it will, al least, be a free state,
and the Democratic societies, inspired
by the faith of their forefathers. may
look forward with confidence to the
completion of their selfimposed mis-
sion, when there shall be no longer
either political or an industrial slave

For Congress, Hon. S. p. Wolverton
OF Sunbury, was nominated. This
gives him two of the four counties of
the district and he will be nominated
by the conference, as he Is the second
choice of Montour county and will
probably receive the instructions OF
Sullivan when they hold their county
convention. The district Is from three
to four thousand democratic, and of his
election there can be no doubt. SEN
ator Wolverton is so well-known to
the people of this county that it is not
necessary to tell our readers who he is
as he is acquainted, personally, with a
majority of the people of the county.
For many years he has been one of
the most prominent attorneys in this
section of the State. For ten years he
served in the State Senate, leading the
Democratic side of the house. He is
in everyway qualified for the position
and we predict his election by the
largest majority ever given in the dis
triot and his holding a position in
Washington among the leaders of his
party.-iSunbtsry Democrat.
