NO FREE TICKETS,
But Every Earnest Republican Who
Can Ought to Go to Canton.

The local free silver organ intimates
that the only way to get crowd to
&c to Canton from this community is to
furnish free tickets. Well. there will
be no free tickets for the excursion
which will leave Scranton for Canton
next Friday evening; and it remains to
be seen whether there is enough en-
thusiasm among the Republicans of
Scranton at $G.75 apiece to supply a
representative attendance.
A good way to reply to the jibe of the
Tines is for every earnest Republican
to arrange to make the trip. 1t will be
q trip worth taking.

1ered Major Darling and the rest of
he officers of the Fifth artillery to
proceed Immediately to their new sta
tionS in the eastern states. Their de-

destand our laws and neglected to take
out a marriage license. He made the
discovery Sunday that such a paper
was necessary and he also learned that
the county clerks Office would be
closed yesterday. it being a legal holi-
day. In very unhappy frame of mind
DIR. Grinnell chartered hack and set
out in pursuit of a deputy clerk But
he could find none at home. and for

postponed. Then somebody suggested
the name of william S. Barnes as a
likely man to solve the difficulty. So
