tiop etc:
Well, to begin, the check has arrived,
The Happy Family wear smiling faces
I don't, They are not posted. / am.
Who'll carry the purse, that's he question?
know who could use it to the best ad-
vantage, but my modesty prevents me
from Just mentioning the person. 1t is a
position much sought for. It is a position
chat requires man capable of knowing
how TO take care of the spoils, Who'll it
be? The south wing claim it must be
used there, or defeat will be the result
The north wing claim they must have it.
What's to be done ? would suggest that
it be used in establishing whisky shops in
some of our Republican districts where
such institutions are not known. Happy
thought! Didn't half think like I can,
either. will report further in regard to
this matter again.
Next comes the appointment of Anna
for Co. Auditor, vice Kennedy, who de-
clined. Does said appointment suit US
Echo answers no ! no Another man on
the ticket who does not suit the Masses
Defeat comes buzzing around my ears like
mosquito on hotsultry night. But such
it is. If man from Ebensburg or Johns
town could not have been prevailed to ac-
cept the position, why not urge Jehueay
Wickerhoff to be the coming man, who, it
might be mentioned stands six foot in
stocking feet, wears his suspenders eros
sed, as you know all great men do; has an
excellent capacity for whisky he knows
no South, no North, no East, no West,
nor no nothing. Such are Jehueays claims
on the party. But, like watermelon, he
was squashcd.
1 am informed your Convention will
meet in a short time. I've been thinking
all along that it would. Our party are
afraid ofyour nominations. So am |. There
is no use in keeping it a secret any long
err. l hear it whispered that the sum of
$4,000 is to be used to secure the elec,
ton of your county ticke.. l know how
the slate reads. Few do. though.
The political situation from our stand
point of view is everything but pleasant
one The Happy Family are at work
The county has been secured, with very
unfavorable reports. Dissatisfaction pre-
walls everywhere. Wiekerhoff is dissatis-
fed So am [. What Democrat isn't
Heretofore Porter's election was consider
ed certain, but now put down as doubtful
Kennedy's Withdrawal has created great
5 deal of excitement Some think he has
: lett the party and taken Washington
: township with him. Such subjects L dc
c not Ike to dwell upon. Believe me and
n don't believe anybody else. OBSERVER.
