LANCASTER-Ledger, September
II: Lancaster owes Chester nothing.
For eight years we voted for Chester's
CONGRESSMAN. We voted for three
solicitors for Chester-Brawley, Cas-
ton and Henry. And Chester now
has judge Gage, the attorney gen.
eral (Barber) and the superintendent
of the asylum, DR.. Babcock, and wants
everything in sight. No, vote for
Finley-the equal, if not superior OF
Chester's candidate, and pay the debt
that Lancaster justly owes in York.
.........Last Sunday night the home OF
Mr.. w. B. Culp was broken into by
thieves who carried off all the con-
tents of his pantry-consisting of sew
eral plates of butter, meal, meat, etc.
There were at least FIVE or six per-
sons in the party of robbers, as was
evidenced by tracks in the vicinity OF
the house. Several are strongly sus-
picioned and a strong chain of circum-
stantial evidence has accumulated.
.........The friends of the two candi-
dates in the second race for congress
are at work for their respective candl-
dates. The present outlook is that
Mr.. Finley is the preference and will
come out in the lead. His splendid
record in the legislature, the very fiat
tering vote of 1882 given him in his
home county in the first race, and the
fact that Chester had the congress
man for years and now has both the
Judge and solicitor, and had the attor-
ney general the past four years, while
York has nothing, makes Mr.. Finley's
chances very good, to say nothing OF
LancasGer's Indebtedness to York for
the fact that York's vote is what gave
Lancaster the congressman and has
helped her to hold him for three terms.
We believe that Messrs. Finley AMI
Barber are both good men, able and
competent, and that the district will
be proud of either as its representative
but to US it seems that York has the
best claims and unless something
should occur to cause US to change
our mind, we shall vote for Mr.. Fin
ley. Review, September 7: T; F.
Mellow, Esq, of the Yorkville bar,
was in town Monday and Tuesday
......."Mr. Richard Mellow, of the
Liberty Hill section, is visiting his
brother in Yorkville, Mr.. T. F. Nc
