tarrh, being constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.

acting directly upon the blood and mu-

stroying the foundation Of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by build
ing up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprie'
tors have so much faith in its curative
powers, that they offer One Hundred
Dollars for any case that it fails to cure

The tub factory of NJ. l.. Stearns was
destroyed by fire early Monday morning
together with all its contents, consisting
of machinery and a large stock of tubs
ready for market. The fire originated in
the engine ROOM caused by the draught
forcing the door to the furnace open and
blowing fire into pile OF shavings near

tinguish the flames, and before the alarm
was sounded the building was all on fire
at the north end and in the dry house.
The fire company were not slow in
responding, and soon had three streams
playing upon the building with great
effect. Although strong north wind
was blowing they succeeded in checking
the blaze betoreit had done much damage
to the south end of the building, in which
was George Shorey's grst mill, contain
ing 800 bushels of grain, which was
damaged TO quite an extent by water

Clara NJ. Lee, born May II, 1S49,
died Oct. s, 1895. Such is the brief
record of the earthly life OF one who has

intervening years have given the world,
a loving daughter, faithful wife, a de-

the price is verify "above rubies," and
their loss manifold.
Mrs. Lee was the only daughter of the
late Brigham Underwood and Nancy
(Wison) Underwood; and wife of our
townsman, Ira Lee, who with their son,
Ernest d. Lee, mourn Tor the first time
their broken family circle. Taken i'll
three months since hers has been heroic
battle with disease, until in the midst OF
apparent recovery, the message suddenly
came to cease the conflict, end the STRIFE
and enter the eternal life
On Thursday afternoon large con-
course of friends met at her late residence
with expressions OF sympathy and sor-
row, bringing many beautiful floral
tokens OF faith and hope, to perform the
last sad rites as they laid away from
sight the earthly form of their respected
and well loved friend.

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

Henry e. Eawcett the defeated
Republican candidate for Sheriff, il
an honest, upright man, but he will
go down in history as being the
poorest political worker ever placed
on the Republican ticket. Had he
called on the voters Of the county
aud made anything of fight for his
success, he would have won easily.
He visited Laporte twice during the
campaign and on both occasions
stopped at a private house. Now,
whether his love for saving money
or his love for the people he stopped
with, prompted him to take this
course, we are not prepared TO say,
but if this was his mode of cam
paigning throughout the entire coun-
ty, we are only surprised that he gave
his opponent such a close shave.
Yes, Henry E. Fawcett should retire
from politics, now and forever; he
hasn't the nerve of successful polls
tician.

II the County Remains Demo-
cratic Some Heroic Measures
Must be Taken.

A large vote was polled in all sections of
the county except in Lopez where the vote
was very light.
Morgan Gavitt polled big vote in the
Southern end of the county His defeat
is due to the slump in Dushore, Cherry
and Bernice 1t is sad state of
affairs when the Democratic party can no
longer elect its entire ticket in Sullivan Co.
when it places in nomination as good i
ticket as it had this fall. 1t is very evident
that there is something wrong somewhere.
What are the causes of our defeat What
can be done TO stem the tide which has set
in against the Democratic party in Sullivan
county?
If the county is to remain in the Demo-
cratic column, some heroic measures must
be taken. The party must be reorganized.
The rank and file of the party must be
made to feel that they all stand on equal
grounds before the party. Democratic
politics has reached pitch where few
men cannot dictate to the voters. ***
Important officers are to he elected next
fall: Two Associate Judges, three County
Commissioners and Representative are to
be chosen, and if the Democrats wish to
win they must do better work than they
have been doing of late ars.-Dushore
Gazette.
1t Mr.. Streby can suggest any way
by which ito stem the tide which
has set in against the Democratic
party in Sullivan county," his service
will not only be sought in Sullivan
county, but in every county and
state in the Union. The tide has
been going in this direction for sew.
eral years, during which time nearly
every Democratic Statesman and
politician in the United States have
given it their time and thought with
reference TO "steming the tide" but
with no avail.
Yes, Streby, were you to suggest
something that will ''stem tue tide
in this direction you will have invent.
ed remunerative patent, and one
much sought after by your Demo.
cratic brethren. We have poor
hopes of your success, however.
