It was Cicero, think. that exclaimed upon one
occasion 20 tefnpord, o mords r. and IL appears
that this expression at present would not be un
appropriate, inasmuch as the times are truly
the most lamentable that we have ever expert

how true 1t is that the times In q large measui !

little enthusiasm manifested in the DO itlca,

people are neverl rlheless preparing them selves
In quiet way. to cast intelligent and effective

the Democracy Of Parryville are &C. ong for
your honored townsman, Hon. A. ]. During, fol
the Legislature. Nit, During has served one
term very acceptably and creditably for his
constituents and thaJ fact constitutes him SUI
perfor in point OF practical qual ations for the
position and while we would not thus argue
for an indefinite number of terms, we can readi
ly see very good reason for returning him q
second term, as it would afford our county a
more thorough and ef1cirnt repi esen taton tina n
could otherwise be secured. The same areu.
ment will apply to Mr.. Harvey. And, indeed,
1t 10 exceedingly Y doubtful whether the Conven.
ton which convenes next Monday can do any
better than TO place both these gentlemen in
nomination egain. Mr.. Durling's strength seems
to be growing in the lower end and present In.
dica' ions point to his nomination with no uncer.
Tain finger Our Republican friends here are
highly pleased with the selection from your
town made by the late Republican Convention
We refer to Meesrs Thos Kemerer and w, NJ,
Rapsher. There is no denying the fact That
these Two gentlemen contribute more to the
strength of the Republican ticket chan perhaps
any other two that might be named. Both are
gentlemen highly qualified for the respective
offices with which their names have been oOn-
nected, and what Ia more, they are men Of hon.
OF and sterling inteerity. Thouyh Lehighto ton
hSV be said to be getting rather more than
her shave OF political honors. 1t must be admit.
ted that all Of her nominees thus fer, present
and prospective are unexceptionally good.
By the way. while am reporting the poll ii
cal status might add that there IA a strong
feeling here, in Democratic circles, in favor Of
Mr. Joseph Lynn Of Mauch Chunk, for the As
sOciate Judgeship. Mr.. Lynn is n geutlema q
admirably qualified fer the position to which he
aspires and while there are others who aspire
70 the position. equally well qualified, the
claims Of Mr.. Lynn are certainly greater IN
view Of the services he has 90 commendably
rendered his party as the editor and publisher
of the party orRan-the Democrat In award
ing the nomination to MT. Lynn it will be but
paying a Just compliment to most worthy
member Of the party which he has faithfully and
ably served tor manr vears
OF course. We have neither rilden nor a
Hayes cub in our town but you may rest as
sured that our people Will none the Iess .xer.
