Sad Death of Little Guy Robinson

While playing near an exhaust
pipe at the Johnsonburg paper mill
last Wednesday, eight year old
Guy Robinson was badly scalded,
and died ten hours afterward.
The little fellow was playing with
younger brother, when the pipe
which gives out steam several times
a day left off its supply resulting in
his death. Although the flesh was
dropping from his body, he ran to
his home some distance away.
The child is the son of the late
VIM. Robinson formerly of this
place. This is the fourth child that
has died since the father not year
ago. His remains were brought to
this place last Friday, inter-
ment being made in the Catholic
cemetery.

The Democratic judicial confer

Alvan Hall was nominated for

Cameron County's Opportunity.

Cameron county was formed in 1S60,b
taking small slices of contiguous territory
from Mexican, Potter, Elk and Clinton
counties, but it has never had citizen as
representative in Congress-, or Presi-
dent Judge on the bench
Year after year for more than 40 years
have Republican leaders in this county
taken part in Congressional, and Judicial
conferences, and conventions sometimes
with candidates of their own. And year
after year they have been invited to come
again, till the heart grew weary, and faith
sickened and well nigh died. Still few
faithful souls never gave up, and at last
their efforts are crowned with success as
shown in the nomination of B. w. Green,
for President Judg of this Judicial dis
trict, and Capt. Charles f. Barclay, for
Member of Congress, from this Congress
sional district.
Now what is the duty of the voters of
thisEcounty under the circumstances?
To me their duty seems very clear.
Self preservation is the first law of nature.
Our county is young, young and small,
and IT we would not be eaten up alive by
surrounding counties we must stick to-
gether, and work and vote for our own
men regardless of politics.
The beauty Of this situation lies iu the
fact that both candidates are men that
Cameron county does well to honor.
With such men in Office there will no
longer be any question as to just where
Cameron county is located.
Capt. c. L. Barclay, is the peer of any
man this district has ever sent to Con
gress, and as to Judge Green's legal and
forensic ability his confreres have spoke en-
and will speak.
There is no question as to the crying
need for Don-partisan Judiciary. All
parties are agreed on that point, and here
Judge Green has made his position per-
fectly clear. His court will be court of
Justice, and not place to play politics.
Even handed justice" he says, "to rich
and poor alike. And no man who has
know2 B. w. Green for the last 81 years
as | have done will doubt for one
minute that he means just what he says.
There is DO earthly reason why any
Republican should vote any other than
the straight Republican ticket, and it
seems to me that every voter in the county
no matter what his party affiliation may
be, who has the good of Cameron county
at heart will vote for G. +. Barclay, for
Congress, and B. w. Green, for Presi-
dent Judge, to the end that men may
know that we are loyal to our own, and
force to be reckoned with. Then when
men say that Cameron is small county
they may qualify that adverb as did a
friend once who was speaking of our
worthy Chief of Police, when be said
"He is smal! man, but he is one of the
biggest small men that you ever saw"
This is Cameron county's opportunity
to make an iudelible impression on the
surrounding counties, and this chance
once gone may never return.

Add Insult to Injury to Clinton's
Candidate.

Quite a delegation of friends ac-
companied Harry Alvan Hall, Esq. ;.
of Ridgway, to Lock Haven yester-
day to attend the Democratic judi
cial conference, which met in this
city yesterday afternoon. A num-
ber of Remove Democrats were
with the party to help stir up en-
thusiasm for the Hall candidacy.
We understand that George A.
Brown, Esq, Clinton's candidate
for judge, sent written request to
Clinton's conferees that his name
should not be presented to the con-
ference, but for some reason the
request was ignored. 1t is said
that Mr.. Brown had no official
notice of the meeting of the con-
ference and that he and his friends
are very much dissatisfied at the
treatment accorded ClinJon's can
didate. In the first place he was
not permitted to select his own
conferees and to this slight was
added an ignoring of him in ar
ranging for the meeting of the con-
ference. The Elk county Demo
cratic machine manipulated the
whole proceeding from beginning
te end.-Lock Haven Express.
