EDITOR REPUBLICAN. Dear Sir
Nothing | have seen for a long time
has afforded me the pleasure as that
of the information that our old
friend and former townsman, W. ID.
D. Green, was candidate for County
Treasurer in Bradford county, with
excellent prospects of success.
Mr. Green came to our town as a
boy when his father was elected
County Treasurer of Sullivan county,
living here until he went into the
army as member of company X,
l4lst Regt, Penna. Vols.
He attended school at this place
when Rev. Hallock Armstrong
taught school here, and obtained q
good common school education. He
was always favorite among those
with whom he was acquainted, both
old and young. He came of good
fighting stock his father being SOL
dier in the war of 1912, and he has
well kept up the reputation of the
family as he served during the war
with great credit. He was unfor-
tunate enough to be Captured by
the Rebels during the Chancellors-
vile campaign with great many
more and from that time until the
Spring of 1865 suffered all the hard
ships, privations and cruelties OF An
dersonyille. For almost two years he
was kept prisoner at Anderson
vile and during that time no pen
can portray the sufferings he en-
dured.
Upon his return from the army
he again resided with us until he
moved to Bradford County, and
was the same kind genial courteous
and obliging person, respected and
liked by all. No man in any COM
munity was ever more kind to the
sick or needy than Mr. Green.
If the Republicans of Bradford
County mean their professions of
love and gratitude TO those who
have sacraGced and suffered in
behalf Of their Country they cannot
possibly show 1t better than by NOM
mating and electing Mr. Green to
the office he aspires to gill and Ger
tainly they cannot possibly find one
who has suffered more for his
Country or one who will make a
more honorable obliging and com.
petent officer.
1t would be exceedingly good
news to hosts of his friends in little
Sullivan TO hear that he had been
nominated and elected.
A REPUBLICAN.

We publish in this weeks issue OIL
the REPUBLICAN q statement OF the

prise is enjoying good solid busi-
ness. The deposits, as will be seen
are 1927, ,636,06, and the profits are
thus s6,Sls,99. This bank has
proved of great service to the busl-
ness men and commercial interest OF
the town in which it is located, and
the surrounding country. May it

Boys may laugh at this statement
but it is fact that deaths are occur
ing every day as the result of smok-
ing cigarettes. George N, a son of
the late Gen. Thomas Hoxsey, of
Passaic, N. j., died the other day
from habitual cigarette smoking.
He had been in an insane asylum
over year, bis mind having become
unbalanced. Every day pale-faced
sickiy looking boys are seen ON our
streets inviting death through the

The poor jealous Blatherskite OF
the Dushore ReUie,c comes to the
back door again and whines that the
Auditors of the several townships
did not give him the work Of print
ing their tickets at the recent cleo
ton. This mystery is easily solved.
The Auditors know the bird. 1t ls
plainly observed that Blatherskite is
wolf dressed in lambs clothing.
For instance, he quotes that he would
have printed the tickets for the
entire county for $l.50 less than the
REPUBLICAN, did eight of the several
precincts. Let's see how this state
ment averages up with the charges
he made for doing Colley township.
Each of us know that there are 10
precincts in the county and that
Colley the precinct that Blataersklte
did the work for contains about the
average number of voters. For this
work Blatherskite charged $6.33.
Now if he was to have received the
printing ofthe Is precincts the total
would be this:

When Harris Blank and Isaac
Rosenweig were arrested in Montreal
Canada, for the murder of Jacob
Marks of Towanda, there was found
in their possession, besides the
goods belonging to the murdered
man, some personal effects consist
ing of jewelry, gems, etc. After
their trial, conviction and sentence,
the court ordered their effects to be
delivered to them, which was done.
Blank having a desire to make a re-
mittance to his family in Russia who
are in destitute circumstances, turned
his effects over to deputy Sheriff D.
1. Thompson, who converted them
into money which has been remitted
for the relief of his family.

F. M. Crossley's team on the
Nordmont stage line ran away on
last Thursday evening. Frank was
delivering an express package to the
residence Of Mr.. Downs, when the
horses took fright and ran down
Muncy street to Main and thence
home by the way of King and
Cherry streets. The sleigh turned
over while making the turn at the

packages, seats and in fact the entire
contents of the sleigh were enptied
in the street opposite of Mr.. Keeler's

rhe actual cost to the county OF the
printing of the tickets was $93.36
hence, $l.59 less than Blathersklle
would have done the work. This
proves him to be a falsifier. Blather-
skite has become proof hardened to
these statements and he thinks
nothing of them, but the people
have got on to him and the truth OF
the matter is, the future OF the
Reuieao appears very dark.
Here is another of his dirty little
schemes. The printing of the
Dushore tickets was done by the
Reporter-Jour1,al of Towanda and
when this bill was handed TO the
County Commissioners there was
also another of 5000 for services
rendered by the Auditors of Dushore
borough. Blatherskite is one OF
them and the bill was made out in
his beautiful handwrite. This bill
was to pay the Auditors $50 they
said) for the time spent in putting
their signatures on the ballots. This,
however, did not strike Blatherskite,
as he had an old fac-simile which
was placed in the job and printed
with the tickets, hence, he spent no
time and was not entitled to one
cent or three dollars. The bill was
ignored. However, 1t shows the
disposition of the man. He is rotten
but would have the public believe
him lamb.

a POpulist Plan.

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Slnce the close of
the silver convention George +. Wash
burn of Boston. chairman Of the eastern
division of the national committee of the
peoples party, and Col. A. +. Fisk of
Denver, president of the Pau American
Bimetallic association, together with
other prominent populists of the west,
have been in consultation with the
bankers, capitalists, and railroad men of
the west devising gigantic railroad
scheme Of government ownership. 1t is
alleged the money str,ngency has effected
transportation so greatly that the re-
ceipts of many western roads have fallen
off fully onethird and receiverships for
some of them have already been asked
for which would also mean the ruin of
commercial and industrial interests in
every western and southern state.
Washburn states that most of the stock
of these roads is held in New England.
they being Boston enterprises, and the
loss of dividends and threatened ruin is
rapidly changing the sentiment in that
section IN favor of government owner.
ship of raih Dads, as well as for bmetall-
ism.
The plan proposed is: That the ma
tional government issue bonds for all
legal and Just Indebtedness, being gov
erned by the same tenure and contracts
which now exist. Tne amount is esti-
mated to be about two-thirds Of the
value Of the railroads, and the issue of
legal tender treasury notes or silver GER
tihcates for the remaining third.
Objection was raised to the populists
plan to pay one-third In treasury notes
which would greatly increase the price
of products in the country, but it is
claimed this issuance of treasury notes
would afford Immediate financial relief
and inaugurate Il period of prosperity
unparalleled in the history Of the world.
1t is claimed that the plan would not
antagonizo existing railroad interests,
and if the government owned all the
railroads west of the Mississippi river
instead of being competitive to eastern
roads they would be distributive, and
could be used by the government to
move crops to market at cost and in
this way develop the resources of the
great western country and thereby s,im-
ulate trade. The uninhabited section
would be cOlonized. thus relieving the
cities from their present congested state.
