The judicial contest court adjourn
ed on Thursday oflast week and will
convene IN Tunkhannock on Mon-
day, June l7th, when the court will
hear the Wyoming story for the
contestants. If it don't show up
more favorable for the Sittserites
than Sullivan has, we would suggest
that brother Day call halt of the
proceedings. On Tuesday June %,
the Judges will sit in Laporte and
take up Judge Dunham's side of the
case, when it is believed that whole
lot of Sittser votes will go down to
the bottom of the sea, and a
number of boodlers will meet their
fate. The alleged Republican bood-
lers of Sullivan county We're on the
witness stand Wednesday of last
week and proved their skirts as
white as January snow; not single
iota Of evidence relative to illegally
paying out money, was proved
against them. We sincerely hope
that the boodlers on the other side
can equally sustain their movements
in this direction, when they are calls
ed upon the stand. We are given
to understand that the boodlers
both in Sullivan and Wyoming on
the Sittser side. will be given a
thorough examination and the ques-
tions will be equally as piercing as
we're those asked by Mr.. Piatt on
Wednesday. It is believed that we
have the evidence to prove the
charge. In this respect the Sittser>
ties were, as Judge Rice remarked,
on a fishing expedition.
Thus far the Sittserites have ac-
complished nothing and it is folly
and nonsenoe to say otherwise. 1t
is rank shame that the people OF
Sullivan and Wyoming counties are
called upon to pay the exorbitant
bills that will follow, From the
general opinion of people in this
vicinity, 1t is believed that Judge
Dunham will continue to preside as
our Judge and that his majority will,
owing to the contest, be increased a
hundred or more votes.

II the Democrats of SullivUl coun
ty who voted for Kulp last Tall will
Join hands with the Republicans,
Sullivan county could be me de Re-
publican at this falls election. It is
worth while for thinking, intelligent
men who do not approve OH Demo-
cratic tariff notions to take an active
stand with the Republican party in
this county. They would be gladly
welcomed, given high seats, In the
synagogue and treated with the
best fatted veal in the market. 1t
would only be short time when the
county would be in the hands OF
the New Republican party. A great
many Democrats who voted the
ticket are at heart, very tired of the
present Democratic management and
in the accession of the would be
leaders, they see no relief. Why
not then forsake the sinking ship and
come to one where there are no rings
and no leadership, except as the
hour demands. Where all the town.
ships have fair chance to be heard
and man can get on the ticket, if
suitable, without reference to the
locality in which he resides?
Now is good time to come to
the Republican party. The past is
dead and all the old time issues are
buried. The great question of to-
day is, how taxes on imports shall
be levied, to give protection or mere
ly to obtain revenue. The Repuhli-
can party stands fair and square for
Protection. If you believe in Pro-
lection for all, and are Democrat,
why do you not leave the party
which openly says it is for Free
Trade? What other pills will you
have to swallow if you become a
Republican { Well you ought to
believe in the support and maintain,
ance Of our Public School System as
q non>sectarian institute. Also
you ought to believe that the Ameri-
can flag flies for big nation and
shall be honored abroad and at home.
That is about all. Very likely many
Democrats will say, I have believed
in these from my youth up. If so,
you will have less far to come and in
truth the tariff to-day is about the
only point of contention and if
voter believes in q Protective tariff
he ought to be Republican. If
any of our Democratic readers feels
as if there was truth in this article
let him declare himself openly and
frankly with his Republican neigh-
bors. If a question of Office getting
stands in your light, be not afraid,
We need new recruits and some of
you will be captains and we shall be
winners in snug and happy little
Sullivan,

We know that the people of Sulli-
van county are we'll satisfied with
the record of our Representative in
the State Legislature, Hon. B. w.
Jennings. lie is faithful member,
and can always be found at his post
His vote is uniformly recorded on
the right side. No member from
this county for years has taken the
pains to find out the wishes of his
constituents that he has, and no
member has ever, when he has ascer.
tanned the will Of the people, been
more willing to carry it out. We
do not recall an instance, on any
important question Of legislation, in
which his vote will not be heartily
indorsed by great majority of our
people. We know of no better man
in the county to succeed him in the
next Legislature than Hon. B. W.
Jennings, himself.

Bert Jones, the convict who was
placed in our new county Jail in
February last, charged with forgery,
escaped from our new castle for
correction on Saturday last. His
freedom was gained like this: The
prisoners, four in number, are only
confined in steel cages at night time,
and during the day the cages are
thrown open and they are allowed to
go about and enjoy themselves. in
both the female and male wards.
On Saturday by request Mrs. Sheriff
Mahafiey gave Jones some news
papers and thoughtlessly left the
dinner door unfastened through
which she had handed the papers
and passed into the front room oi
her department. Jones took advan-
tage of the open door, which is, per-
haps 20 by "a inches in size and
made good his escape. He passed
through the kitchen of the Sheriff's
department and out the east door
and over the hill back of the GENES
terry. The remaining three prisoners
gave the alarm but before the Sheriff
had been acquainted with the ''slip,' D
Jones had hid himself in the forest
east Of town.
A number of men went in search
of him, but at this writing he is still
enjoying his freedom.
Jones is the man who forged the
names Of B. Meeker of Dushore and
Clint Lawrence also of Dushore on
checks and successfully negotiated
both papers. The check of $l7
forged on Lawrence he passed on
Meeker for silver watch the price
of which was $ll, the balance S6
was given Jones in cold cash. The
other check forged on Meeker was
given Lawrence to off set board
bill.
Following is description of the
escaped convict. Owing to his un>
usual heighth he is thought to be
an easy sucker to catch
Height-6 feet, I inches, dark hair
and complexion, slim built, age about
% years, had on dark coat and vest,
blue overalls, slouch hat and gum
boots.
