As there seems to be considerable
criticism, concerning the circular
distributed by the Independent Re
form Club of Lackawaxen, on the
day of the Democratic Caucus, Jan.
25th last, l owe it to myself and
friends, to make the following state
ment inasmuch as certain parties
feel inclined to make the assertion,
that l am the Author of the same.
While | do not wish to criticise the
contents of the same, or depict the
wrongs, which those parties feel,
have been done them, do positively
deny of having anything whatever
to do with the same. If there is
anything unjust or wrong in the
language of the same, tits not for me
to judge.
The affairs Of this township
have in the past been handled very
neglectfull, nobody will deny.
In conclusion l would say: Should ]
be elected Town Clerk. shall en-
deavor to serve the interests of the
taxpayers to the best of my ability

What nm Ex-Meinber Of the Republican
club Of Matamoras says-A Hint to
Take the Press"
MATAMoRAs, Feb. 3, 1896.
To THE EDITOR OF THE Press Al
low me little space in your valua-
BILE paper for the members of the
club, known as the Republican
Club of Westfall, of which was
formerly a Member and one of the
organizers. The Republicans of
Matamoras are men to be proud of,
always wide-awake andactive in the
campaign, ] am interested as to the
result of the spring election because
they have nominated a very strong
ticket, one that fills the Democrats
with despair The men elected last
spring have done well, and fully sat
iched their fellow w-citizens, and
those nominated to be elected this
spring are trustworthy and qualified
to do their duty well and to the en-
tire satisfaction of all. The Demo-
Gratis nominated men who have been
in Office before. Why should they
be elected? Is it because those who
vote for them want to go back to the
same old way? The Republicans
are more modern in their ideas and
will do the best for the people. Now
let me advise my fellow -Republi-
cans to take the Press. Why take
the Port Jervis papers? Is it because
it is your habit and hard to break
the same as the tobacco habit, 1
have been accustomed to reading
papers which contained only New
York State politics for twenty years
and nothing at all of what has been
going on at the capitol of our own
state. If you read the PRESS you
will find that it prints the national
news up-to-date and the politics and
news of our own State as well as
other items of interest. The Repub-
licans of Westfall are taking the
Press in goodly numbers, and there
is every indication that others, who
are still ignorant of its merits, will
also subscribe for the best paper in
northeastern Pennsylvania. Why
take papers which contain only po-
litics of the States across the river ?
l have broken my old habit and
now read the Press with the great
est interest. predict for the Re
publicans of Westfall this spring a
very handsome majority, and this
means that the Republicans have
been sensible and wise in reading
the PRFss and also have nominated
such splendid body of men to look
after the interests of that township.
Yours truly,
THE Color BEARER.
