POLITICAL NOTES.
Politics here are red hot; of factions
well, the office seekers are praying to
| be delivered from battle murder and
sudden death" and everybody who
| knows even a thing or two can tell
you what is on the slate. Yes! some
| wiseacres could have told you a year
| ago, and perhaps truthfully. This
year in Susquehanna county the fol-
lowing offices will be presented to the
| suffrage of the people. One congress-
| Eiftaantb CT Ri wv ran nj n
| tives, register and recorder sheriff. two
| county commissioners and a county
! auditor Locally the present scene Of
| action Is enhanced by the fact that two
Montrose men are looking towards Har-
| rsburg with a yearning like unto the
| parched traveller for distant brook.
| j.. H. True and c. A. Van Worm
| er are both anxious for the NOM
| ination of representative. Van Worm
er has made his county canvas so has
| True. AS they are both residents of
| Montrose Van Wormer said to True,
"You name one delegate. I'll take the
other. it will prevent discord and we
will both give Sam Wright, our del
| gate, which will make combination
of unity, peace and concord" True
said nit" so Van is out with an open
| letter to the voters and will endeavor
to secure both delegates. Sam Wright
will not refuse the nomination for reg
lister and recorder. and no one can
blame him. Everybody likes him and
the only excuse those Who are "agin"
him have to offer is machine" Tom
Kilrow. from Great Bend, SIR" Is
called a machine man, in fact he don't
deny it. and the writer has faint
suspicion that he is vastly proud of 1t.
There lives in Brooklyn a man named
| \ e;,,,i iInp ,nt e,i
lar numbered name, of our common
progenitor, will undoubtedly be the
first man when representative is bal
loted for. Probably Sam Wrights
heaviest competitor will he C. S. Page
| of New Milford Mr.. Page was his pre-
decessor and received nearly as many
votes as Mr.. Wright when they clashed
| in the convention twelve years ago.
| OF the minor offices little can be said
save that the first one up will he the
best one dressed, and he who trades and
runs away will have an Office here some
day. The attitude of the press in this
county regarding candidates is decid-
edly amusing. it observes the Differ
stare and has a marble heart until the
convention is over, then as a father
upon finding his lost child It fairly goes
| into paroXysms of JOY over the sue
cessful men, yes. that but family eX-
presses it. Before the convention its
columns are open (supposedly for con-
sideratiom to Mr.. Pro Bono Publico,
An Old Voter, Mr.. The People. Mr..
Fair Play and many other men whose
| composite nature to candidates are
locked in the secret heart of every
editor. To a rank outside the local
situation might be compared with his
