DEMOCRATIC WAR
IN THE eighth.
Fears Of Republican Success Cause
an Attempt at Peace.
ALL AGAINST NORTHAMPTON.
Monroe, Carbon and Pike Said to Con.
template an Arrangement Against
the Other County.

the Other county.
There is report that the Demo-
Gratis in the Eighth Congressional
District are endeavoring to patch up
their difference in view of the pros
poets of Judge Kirkpatrick being
elected to Congress. A bait has
been held out to the Monroe county
people in the shape of an offer from
Barber, the Democratic candidate OF
Carbon county, to combine Monroe,
Carbon and Pike in an alliance
against Northampton in future cam
paigus. This information comes
from Monroe and is authentic. The
Monroe and Pike people are opposed
to allowing Northampton more con-
ferrees in Congressional conven-
tions than any of the other counties,
and it was that led to the bolt, the
nomination of Hart and his subse-
quent withdrawal.
The Monroe people, led by ex-Col-
lector Staples, DR.. Shull and Editor
Morey, of the Stroudsburg "Demo-
crat, T" were not ready to give up
the fight when Hart withdrew, and
they let it be understood that they
were still fighting, A day or two
ago Barber had a conference with
Staples and proposed that these
three counties enter into an agree
ment whereby Carbon was to have
two terms, Monroe two terms and
Pike one term in Congress before
the counties would agree to give
Northampton another term, this
proposition being based on Monroe
stopping her disaffection and turn
ing in for Barber. 1t is said Staples
rather inclined to enter into the
agreement but asked time.
1t is now said he fears that Barber
is only playing for points, and that
Monroe will be left out in the cold,
as Congress Mutchler has big
pull in Carbon and might be able to
influence the conferrees there in fu-
ture to break the proposed agree
ment, in which event Mutchler
would have no mercy on Staples and
Shull.
Mutchler is recognized as figh-
ter. He is still hurting hot shot at
Staples and Shull through his news
paper, showing that he does not be-
lieve their strength is sufficient to
effect the result this Fall. At the
same time. those who have been in
Monroe know that the Shull- Staples
following is large and is up in arms.
1t is also just possible that North
ampton has some friends here in
Pike who might not be agreeable to
this arrangement, and if made it is
questionable whether the parties to
the bargain can deliver the futures,
There are some men left in Pike
who have had enough of unfulfilled
promises, and the taking advantage
of accidental situations who might
make it exceedingly interesting for
this sort of a combine.
If Barber is attempting to play
Hottentot with Mr.. Mutchler he is
only following the lead of his illus.
trious predecessor and may like him
feel at some time in the future that
he would like some convenient OF
soft spot on which to light.

Looks Like wmful Waste.

A German friend who recently
drove over a good part of the coun-
try, and noticed the thousands of
bushels of apples going to waste up
on the ground, remarked to us that
he believed the American people TO
be the most wasteful ON the face of
the globe. This fruit in the old
country would have been carefully
picked up and either made into cider
then vinegar, or fed to the cattle,
calves or hogs. There is a great
deal in what our friend says. We
may not always have a good apple
year like this and if you don't want
this fruit, let some poor man gather
them for his hogs. "a wilful waste
makes a woeful want. DECKER

The Fourth Congressional district
should repudiate Augustus w. Cut
ler, because he is a repudiator,
q man who does not be-
lieve in paying honest debts in
honest money. 1t should reject him
because he is not the equal of his
opponent, Mahlon Pitney, in any of
the qualifications for Representative
in Congress. For selfish reasons and
patriotic reasons, the district should
elect Pitney. And we believe the
citizens of the Fourth know a good
thing when they see it. To prefer
Cutler to Pitney would be a folly
which would make State and coun-
try regard the voters of the Fourth
as incompetent.-Newark Sunday

The Popocrats of this township
held grand rally at the Brick
House Wednesday afternoon Oct. z.
The meeting organized by electing
that old time Democratic Godifried
Wieland, chairman, who introduced
ex-Congressman Fowler. This gen
tleman proceeded to make a school
boy speech, mixed with considerable
blackguardism, and two or three
stories. Then Augustus w. Cutler
was introduced, by mistake as our
present Congressman, Mr.. Pitney
holding that place at present and
likely to so continue we think.
"Gus" the honest talked for an hour
and told the wonderful things he
had done when in Congress in 1875,
and what he expects to do when he
gets there this time and how he
will start everything booming by
aiding the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. The house shook with
applause at this sentiment. There
were just forty-five voters present
in the room one-third of whom were
Republicans, and these with a dozen
small boys made up the large and
respectable crowd. Pike county
