The Cortland Democrat, Friday, November 17, 1882.
Here and There.
We
print for pay.
Sneak
thieves are operating about Freeville.
The
first snow of the season came last Monday.
The S. & B. [railroad] pay car
passed over the road last Tuesday.
Last
week, F. N. Harrington, of this place, sold his fine bay gelding for $550.
Arthur
Hoyer, of Taylor, was severely bitten by a colt, a few days since.
M. W.
Conger gives a New Year's party at his hotel in Marathon, on the evening of January
1st, 1883.
The
Democrats and Independents of Marathon celebrated the people's victory last Thursday
night by a grand torchlight procession.
A. G.
Smith, Esq., President of Marathon village, was slightly injured, a few days
since, by falling through a trap door in his store.
John
Kane, who resides on the Taylor farm, between this village and McLean, threshed
one hundred and forty five bushels of wheat, raised upon four acres of ground. Can
any of our farmers beat that?
The
Utica Herald, one of the ablest
Republican papers in the State, has this to say of the [election] result in
this county: "Cortland county expressed its opinion clearly of the forged
telegram by which Mantanye became Smith's proxy, and of little county boss rule.
It overthrew the whole gang."
Mr.
John S. Park, who resides about two miles south of this village, built a handsome
farm house the past season, and moved in last week. Last Friday night his
friends and neighbors, to the number of over one hundred, made a raid on his
premises and gave him and his family a genuine house warming.
What the DEMOCRAT would
Like to Know?
Just
how much of the filthy, Dickey Duell Jr. had left when election was over.
If Mr.
E. C. Carley, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, lacked the ability to make
out the list of committees.
If the
Independents of Marathon won't be pleased to know that Judge Smith made out the
list of committees of the Board of Supervisors instead of chairman Carley.
If E.
Clark Carley will be his own successor in the Board of Supervisors.
Why a
Democratic Supervisor should pledge himself in advance of the meeting of the
Board, to vote for a Republican Clerk.
If
the fragments of the busted Cortland ring are to be gathered up by anybody.
If those
Democrats who voted for the Republican candidate for Sheriff are pleased over
the result.
If
there is a member of the Board of Supervisors with back-bone enough to favor paying
a reasonable compensation for publishing the session laws.
If it
doesn't tickle the “little twinkling star" just about to death to have the
privilege of running the Board of Supervisors.
If
"Twinkle & Co." don't think it would have been better if Cortland
had held no caucus whatsoever.
If
Robert Bushby's delegates received 906 honest votes at the Cortland caucus, what
was the reason that he received only 478 in the same districts on election day.
If
the ring methods of controlling caucuses are to be kept up.
Still Another Burglary.
Last Monday Mr. Reuben
Davis and family who reside about four miles west of
Cortland on the McLean
road attended the funeral of Mr. James McNish, a near neighbor. They were gone
but a short time but when they returned they found that the house had been
broken into. On examination it was found that Mrs. Davis' gold watch and a
heavy plain ring were gone. We understand that parties residing in Tompkins county
are suspected as they were seen to stop at the house, during Mr. Davis’
absence. The crime has not been proven upon any one as yet, and it is somewhat doubtful
if the burglars are ever brought to Justice. This thing is getting to be quite
unbearable and it behooves citizens of this town to see to it, that their houses
are provided with every protection necessary to prevent thieves from carrying
off their goods.

Cortland county at the recent election, according to the official canvass made by
