Sullivan republican. [volume] (Laporte, Pa.) 1883-1896, 1895-11-15

At the spring election in 1884 we
elected a congressman-at- large
GaIusha A. Grow. Sullivan county
at this election gave 40 majority for
the Democratic State ticket. At the
fall election of '94 our county gave
Q Democratic majority OF IS votes
and at the recent election Sullivan
went 80 Democratic.
While we know its an awful poor
excuse, yet all will admit that the
vote in Lopez was only half out.
last year We received majority in
Lopez of 6S votes on the state ticket
this year it is only l3, hence the
stay at home votes were evidently
Republicans. This would not have
changed the complexion of the re-
suit, but would have lesened the
figures to about the same as last
year. Even Streby of the Dushorc
Gazette is fearful that Sullivan Co.,
will, in the future, be placed in the
Republican column. Streby is right
in this prediction. The Republicans
have nothing to fear, because in each
of the Democratic strongholds the
entire vote was polIed. Cherry
rolled 800 votes and it is claimed
that Davidson polled every vote to a
man. The number reached here was
276, the largest number ever polled
in this precinct. Knowing this to
be a positive fact, how can the Dem
ocrats expect to do better in the
future !! In Fox township, the Re
publicans only polled 7S votes this
year as against lOl in '94, this with
the stay at home Republican vote in
Lopez would have given the Repub'
lican State ticket a small majority
The Republicans of Sullivan county
will make fight on the National
issue in 1896 and have every reason
to hope for success.

Three cheers for the grand Re-
publican victory Tuesday.
The majorities are unprecedented
for an off year.
We are thankful for favors wher
received, if we did not elect the
whole county ticket, we elected one
of our best Republicans for Proth
onotary and cut down the Democrat
ic majority to ninety. Little Sulli-
van will be in the Republican column
next year.

Ninety Per Cent of the Output in the
Pool
Fair Price Is to Be Set and Wines VIII
Remain in Private Cellars

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2O.-The Sweet
Wine association of California has been

chase, when they will be shipped direct to
the buyer. Along with the bills of sale
made by the wine producers the trustees
will give certificate OF the amount
decided. Statements of the amount sold
are to be delivered on the 10th

ling, freight and delivery have been de-
ween the members of the association. The

INDIANA'S LOYAL LEGION

Associated Press Special Wire.
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Dec. 20.-The annual
meeting OF the Indiana Loyal Legion was
held here last night. Almost full attend
ance was present and thirteen new candi-
dates were accepted. A. banquet was held
at the st. George hotel with 800 present,
at which the following resolutions were ad.
opted with deafening applause:
Resolved, By the Indiana Commandery
OF the Military Order of the Loyal Legion
of the United States, that the position as
sumed by this government with England
on the Venezuelan question is indorsed.
Resolved, In the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine we are not members of
political organizations, but Americans,
jealous OF Europern agRrandizement and
determined to resist all monarchial en-
croachments on the western hemisphere.
Resolved, That we demand that our gov
ernment recede not from its position With
England, but firmly and with force, il
necessary, compel recognition OF the
Monroe doctrine.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tions be forwarded to the president Of the
United States.
General Lew Wallace was vehsmently
applauded when he said: "The Monroe
doctrine is the gauge of challenge thrown
to all the great powers OF Europe. If one
accepts the gag it will in all likelihood
be with most of the others in the alliance.
That Lord Salisbury took six months to
compose his response, it is reasonable to
believe his lordship consumed three
months looking for allies in case he re-
fused to arbitrate. England in arms
against us is one thing; all Europe, with
the exception of Russia is another. Here
is the conclusion: If we must fight l
wish it could be with England alone. Not
that it would be an easy affair if the duel
was single-handed, but that it would be
complete aifair-a finality. 1t would be
hard with us at first, but we would not be
idle. Before a year there would be no
British commerce. the Interpretation Of
which is simply British bankruptcy and at
the end, as l see it, we would own every
thing on this side of the globe, from the
Gulf of Mexico to the north pole; second,
Russia would be established in Constant-
nople and hurrying the conclusion in
British India. 1t all depends on the con-
stancy of our people. If they endure and
go grinly on the hour will come when We
can effectually wake the democracy Of
England.'

FINANCIAL FLURRIES
Wall Street Presents Scenes 1uch Resemb-

Wall Street Presents Scenes nuch Resemb-
ling a Panic
New YORK, Dec. 2O.-This was a day of
excitement on Wall street and matters for
time bore the resemblance of q panic.
But this condition of affairs had not been
unexpected and in measure the dealers
had prepared themselves. Before the
opening of business on the stock exchange
it was announced that $3,4O0,O0O in gold
would be sent out of the country and later
in the day the export of 100000 was an.
nounced. This, together with the cable
advices from London announcing extensive
sales of American securities and the tenor
of the war news from all quarters was re-
sponsible for the general feeling of un-
easiness that prev allied, even early in the
day. The spirit of the market was to sell
and in the big exchanges this was done to
an extent rarely before surpassed. In this
stock exchange the sales for the day were
775,76O shares. New York Central, ST.
Paul, Louisville and Nashville, Wabash,
Missouri, Kansas and Texas preferred,
RDading, Atchson, Illinois Central and
Canadian Pacific were the principal suffer-
ers by the International listing.
AS a result of the decline in stocks the
failure of number of firms was an

q Co., ID. Neufville & Co. and A. Feldman.
With the fall in prices the banks called
in all their loans. thus adding to the COM
plcations of the situation.
Much money was loaned at very high in
terest to carry stocks, and in many in
stances renewals would be made under no
conditions whatever. AS the selling move
ment continued right up to the closing
hour, with slight and but momentary re-
action, the effect was demoralizing in the
extreme. Money was loaned on call late
in the afternoon at as high as 80 per cent,
cent by the banks.
Frederick d. Tappen, president of the
Gallatin National bank, chairman of the
clearing house committee during the last
panic, said today that at the present time
the New York banks are all right and are
ready to face any emergency that may
arise. He added that the surplus reserve
amounted to SIC, 1000, 900, and that, there
fore, there was no cause for alarm on the
score of money. Mr.. Tappen pointed out,
however, that while these conditions now
prevail. the situation is still a serious one,
though likely to be allayed soon. The
ing to secure loan of $50 900 900 on the
continent 10 ridiculed generally.
Addison Eammack, the veteran operator,
said today: "The stock market seems to
! ldicate bad state of affairs, and the
situation is the warrant for every man
taking care of his holdings"
Isaac Seligman of the banking firm of j..
e. w. Seligman, said: "Our gold reserve
is low and the heavy Withdrawals may
aecessitate the issue OF new bonds"

GROSSCUP DISSENTS

From Views of Law Profcssors-f1o
the American Doctrine
CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-Judge Grosscup of
the federal court does not agree with Prof.
Won Hoist and Prof. Wolsey in their COM
ments on the Monroe doctrine, nor does
he find anything wise or tenable in DR..
Depew's published utterances on the SUBJ
ject. He said
'When in this country the word war is
pronounced three classes of men at once
spring into prominent notice,
First the sentimentalists. They oppose
war on any ground, though the country
may be trodden upon and wronged. Just
as DR.. Thon as did when under Harrison,
war with Chill was a possibility. OF course
if missionary had been killed 1t would
have been different.
"Second, the enthusiasts. In this case
they are Anglo.phobists. They are those
who want to rush into hostilities.
sor. hT with ha sher
Two of them have spoken. Neither OF
them comprehends the question really at
issue.
"After all this comes calm, ,dispassionate
judgment of the American people. When
the people of this country thus judge
country and utter decision that decision
is more trustworthy and accurate-neerer
the truth than all the theories OF college
professors and educated students. We be-
lieve, the president believes, the historical
view is true, that England has aggressvely
and scheminqly colonized American terri
tory. Now the Monroe doctrine do not
care what you call it: it might be called
the Cleveland doctrine or the end OF the
nineteenth century doctrine, call it by any
name, is simply the American policy.
1.-The world is divided in two. This con-
tinent, America, for Americans and Ameri-
can institutions and the East for the
European monarchs. That is our policy.
The United States as the strongest nation
on this continent must uphold that policy.
An attempt to violate it anywhere on the
continent is blow to us.

day as to the effect, present or prospective,
on trade of the international situation
precpitated by the presidents message,
the message itself and as to the possibility

as the interviews extend. is war considered
the probable outcome. So far as the effect
on business Is concerned, eastern and
western manufacturing centers and many
of the larger western and northwestern
distributing points report that no effect
whatever is felt.
PREMIUM on GOLD.
The Evening Post says curious condi-
ton of affairs was developed today in con-
nection with the withdrawal of gold from
the treasury and assay Office for shipment
tomorrow. In consequence OF the sudden
tightening of the money market, gold ship
pers were unable to get enough greenbacks
United States legal tender notes) with
which to draw the gold out of the treasury.
But for this much larger amount of gold
would he shipped tomorrow. 1t is only
possible to get a large amount of gold out
of gold certificates or greenbacks of large
denomination. Large amounts of green
backs of small denomination could, of
course, be obtained, but it would take the
treasury officials so long to examine and
count them'that in Withdrawals of millions
of dollars some days would be required.
The treasury would naturally not care to
do the work any faster than was absolutely
necessary. Should the present condition
of affairs continue and sufficient green
backs could not be obtained with which TO
withdraw gold from the treasury, gold, it
was said, would Immediately go to pre-
MUM and specie payments would then
virtually be suspended. Tie rates for ex-
change would be advanced to meet the cost
of procuring gold.
Regarding the trouble today, bank
president said that that was the fault of
the spectators themselves. If they had
called their loans yesterday, he said, their
banks would have come in large creditors
at the clearing house today and so have
been we'll supplied with large bills.
MINING EXCHANGES
DENVER, Col, Dec. 20.-The Wall street
panic did not seriously affect mining
stocks on any of the exchanges in Colo
RADIO. Orders we're received from eastern
holders of some of the higher priced stocks,
to sell at once as the money was needed to
save losses in the market there. The local
market promptly absorbed all offerings
and though such stocks as Isabella, Ana
conda and Union dropped from six to ten
points they quickly recovered and closed
strong at nearly the same figures as yes
terday. None of the low priced stocks
suffered and on the whole the market was
strong.
Brokers are generally confident that the
panic in New York, based as it is on the
shipments of gold, will rather help gold
mining stocks than otherwise.
