The Races ana the Candidates

The Races ana the Caudiuates
The horse races at Dusbore on
Thursday and Friday of last week,
was complete success. Saturday,
however, was to be the big day, as
the free for all race was to have TAX
on place on this date, but owing TO
the rain they were postponed indeli'
nately. There was some little aus
satisfaction over the awarding of n
heat by the Judges to Daisy G., on
Friday Dclavan came in ahead but
it was claimed by the driver OF
Daisy G. that the driver of Delavan
ran into his gig" and intertered
with the speed of his horse, hence
the decision. Mr.. Davidson OF Will
Transport the owner of Delavan was
some put out about the decision.
Lawyer Dewitt of Towanda, was
one of the Judges. Those Of our
people who know this gentleman, can
hardly credit him with doing wrong
When horse race is very close,
as this one was, hard feelings by the
loser is most apt to follow. We DO
not mean to say, however, that Mr..
Davidson did not have good prov
ocations for saying and doing as be
did in this instance. Others are of
the same opinion.
Notwithstanding this, the races
were good, exciting and entertain
ing. The gathering was large and
among the list were nearly all Of our
candidates. NJ Ii. Kulp our candi-
date for Congress was there and met
large number of our Sullivan coun.
ty voters. He was highly spoken OF
by all, and is genial good fellow,
Oar Democratic friends had not
at this date selected their candidate
for Congress, or disc we presume he
would have been there, There is
buJ li5lle doubt, however, bat that
our old friend, Hon. C. r. Buckalew
vii. receive The conference nomjna-
ton.
Hon, L. n, DuGham our candidate
for President Judge joined Jhc list
and made himself busy among the
voters. He was cordially greeted
by his old friends and came away in
the best of good humor.
Judge Sittscr the democratic can
didate for President Judge was there
too; enjoying a hearty hand shake
with old friends. The Judge smiled
and looked pleasant.
OF course Worth Jennings the re,
publican candidate for Member was
among the party. He was happy
and laughed three times in a
while. 1t is evident that Worth has
a host of friends in the county.
Amby Farrell the democratic nom
inee for Member took in the situa-
ton and was on the ground and met
lots of new friends.
Jury Commissioners, Kilmer and
Swank were not on the ground, at
least we did not see them.
Ed. Mullen the democratic nomi-
nee for Dist. Atty, has no opponent
and gave his time to the Association
selling tickets &C. Ed. isn't in Il
peck of trouble like the other fellows.
Quite fortunate, indeed Mullen is
also chairman Of the Democratic
Standing Committee. Our chairman
Mr.. Vincent was there too. They
are two good headlights.
AS whole, our candidates and
chairmen, irrespective OF party, are
pretty good looking lot of people.

sisted in making law to increase
the price on q household article that
the poor as well as the rich must
have. The doings Of The Democrats
who have run things in Washington

reasoning can conscientiously vote

OWING to lack of time and an excess
of matter coming in late in the week,
We are unable to put in type the full
opinion of the supreme court in the
case of Alfred l.. Willard VS.. Jerome
Truax, involving the validity OF tax
titles. The opinion will be given in
full next week. However, the vital
points and fatal objections are these;
First, that the items of taxes, fees,
ch argos and expenses were carried out
in figures only, with nothing TO indi-
cate whether money was meant. or il
money, Owhat denomination. Second,
the county treasurer made no report OF
the sale, the only record of the sale
being in the tax record. The fact that
the same defective blanks were used
all over the State, and the same methods
pursued relative to recording decree in
court record prior to the law of 'S9,
these objections of the court practically
invalidate all the tax titles of 'S7, 'SS
and prior years. The tax of 80 is not
yet past redemption, so that the titles
for the tax of 1889 are really the only
ones valid.

LITERARY NOTES
Care of Curtains and Portiere

When any cleaning or sweeping is in
progress the heavy curtains and por-
there's should be removed, and after
being thoroughly brushed and shaken
should be allowed to hang in the air
until the rooms are cleaned and ready
for their return, writes James Thorn
son in a very practical article, "Artis
tic DOorways and Windows" in the
March Ladies' Home Journal. Heavy
hangings will absorb the door from
cigar smoke or from any food which
may be cooking, and the greatest care
should therefore be taken that they be
kept well aired. The doorway cur
tains may be so easily removed and
placed in position again that there
should be no excuse for any unpleasant
odor being attached to them.
