The judicial contest court has con.
cluded it's labors and awarded the
election to +. NJ. Dunham, whose
majority is increased to 129. There
were 600 votes thrown out in all on
the ground of bribery and other
causes. $50 Of these we're taken
from the Durham column and $50
from Sittser, leaving and increased
majority for Durham of 100. But
for the votes thrown out by election
officers which were marked for Judge
Sittser in Wyoming county, and the
same class of votes counted for Judge
Durham in Sullivan county, there
would have been no contest.-Wy>
oming Democrat.
The above from the Wyoming
Democrat is SO maliciously false and
misleading that we feel constrained
to state the facts once more. In it's
desire to let itself down easy the
truth has been ignored.
In the first place Judge Dnnham's
majority is not I49 but III In the
second place not 600 votes but $50
were rejected. Third, not $50 but
19l votes were rejected from Judge
Dunham's column. The $50 from
Judge Sittser's column is about
right, the exact number being 34S.
Fourth, Judge Dunham's increased
majority is not 100 bat 14S. The
latter part of the article is, however,
the capsheaf of the false statements.
No such methods of counting were
found. The practice was uniform
in both counties and where the bal
lots made the voters intention plain
it was so counted. Now. Day, don't
try to crawl out, but own up like a
man that it was merely fishing ex-
pedition and you met with the pros
verbal "fisherman's luck"

Those of our Sullivan count,
Democratic friends who refuse tc
consider the hard times Of a couple
years past and place the cause on the
present administration, will do wei
to study the recent vote of old Ken
lucky State. She elected Repub.
lican Governor by handsome ma
jority. When the Democrats of the
Southern states cut lose from De-
mocracy, it is high time for our peo~
pie TO give it consideration. The
people of Kentucky have quit hide
bound party politics and are giving
their own personal welfare a thought
Why should we follow the rut that
our Southern friends have forsaken
The members of the Republican
party are not wicked lot of people
They are just as good neighbors as
are the Democrats, in short, we are
human and we are sure that you
ought not to tolerate that hatred for
the name Republican) as to cause
you to do that which is against your
own interest. Come over in 1896
md lets help to bring the good times
of Republican administration. You
certainly must be convinced of the
times of three years past. Can they
be any worse? You have year to
consider, think it over and vote your
and there will be no fear
as to the result.

With the 1896 Presidential election
over, Sullivan county will be placed
in the Republican column. The
leaders of the Democratic party con-
cede this. Had the voters of Lopez
turned out as they did one year ago
we would have carried the day at
the recent election. The neglect of
this vote being out, was awful bad
politics Oh the part of somebody.
There were only l55 votes polled in
Lopez on Nov. 5, as against nearly
300 in 1894.

Wants $4,000 Damages.

William Kirk Belts VS. Lehigh
Valley Railroad company and the
WilIiamsport and North Branch
Railroad company is the title of a
summons in trespass recently filed
in the Prothonotary's office. Col.
E. Overton, Esq, and William Max
we'll, Esq, are the plaintiffs attor-
neys, and damages in the sum of
$50, 900 are asked for the loss OF his
right foot in June, 1894.
Mr.. Belts is son of N. N. Belts,
cashier of the First national bank, and
is bookkeeper for John Howe, OF
Ulster, taking the 6:25 train every
morning to go to his work. On
Tuesday morning, June 26, 1894, he
reached Washington street just as
the train began to pull out, and in
running to catch it reached the track
just as the W. & N. 3. passenger
train, going in the opposite direction
ran down to the station. The young
man was struck by the locomotive,
received scalp wound and was
dragged some rods before the train
was stopped.
When picked up by persons who
rushed to his assistance it was found
that his right foot was completely
cut off, leaving the member in the
shoe. 1t is claimed that proper
warning of the approach of the train
was not given, and that one train
had no right to run up to the station
until the other had pulled out

Our news columns to-day will
show the result of the election held
on Tuesday last, which was generally
disastrous to the Democrats through
the country. Even Kentucky goes
Republican by small majority. In
this county the Republicans have a
majority on County Treasurer OF
about 275, and on the State ticket of
nearly 400. One third of the Dem
ocratic vote, probably, was not out
in this county, which accounts for
the big Republican majority. Our
candidates for District Attorney and
County Surveyor are elected with
out opposition. Until Democrats in
this county conclude to come out to
election there will be no success for
Democratic candidates. Tunkhan.

Wyoming county has given Re-
publican majority on the State ticket
for the past six or eight years and
on each occasion Bro. Day OF the
Democrat has claimed that the Dem
ocratic vote was not out. This will
be poor consolation for even Bro
Day after awhile.

Charged With Pergery,

Yesterday John Smith Of Muncy
was brought to this city and taken
before Alderman Finley by Consta-
BILE Feigles, on the charge of perjury
in connection with the recent suit OF
Hess VS. W. & N. B. R. r. company
in which the plaintiff was awarded
$40. 900 for the loss of her husband
who was killed by an engine of the
defendant near Montgomery. Smith
was remanded to Jail to await fur-
ther hearing.
Smith was one of the chief witnes.
ses for the plaintiff, and in his testi>
mony stated that he was in the cab
Of the engine at the time of the acci-
dent, that the whistle was not blown
as the engine approached the cross
ing at which the accident occurred,
and also that there were no lights
on the tender which struck the wag.
on and killed its occupant. The
defence has the testimony of the en-
gineer and the conductor of the train
who state that Smith was not in the
cab at the time and of two other
witnesses who were Oh the tender
and who say that they did not see
Smith on the engine. These witness
ses will be present at the hearing.
Messrs. HI. G. and II. s. Mccormick,
counsel for the defense, yesterday
made motion for new trial in the
case.-Gnsette and Bulletin
