The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1876-07-29
Letter from Mauch Chunk.
July %, 1876.

so far as known, for every Office in the
gift of the voters of Carbon county.
Its composition imposed, as you may
readily believe, an arduous task, and it
was only at the expense Of much time,
and more consultation, that l am to-
day enabled to present, what may be
accepted as a complete list of those
likely to enter prominently into the
coming canvass. Many others, we're of
course, mentioned to the writer, but be.
ing for the most part small potatoes,
with no earthly chance of show, their
names do not appear in the, already al
most sufficient, announcement Of
names although no pretense whatev-
er is made that the present list contains
the names of all who may conclude to
sacrifice ease ard comfort for a consid-
Grafton. Indeed the impression prevails
that there will be more, and that many
worthy men will yet have to be added
to the list. AT any rate, it will not be
for the want of candidates to select
from if the people Of Carbon should
not be well served for the next three
years to come.
The writer might, and, perhaps
shOnld, eXpatiate upon the merits or
dement's of individual candidates, but
for this the time is not yet. There will
be plenty for this after the meeting of
the several nominating conventions,
when we may enter upon this business
mole clearly and understandingly.
Monday last was a grand gala day
among the craft, and candidates were
thick in town, when bluff, of course, was
the principal game INDUCED in. With
men of sense such things won't Ia Ike, of
course. There is certain standard by
which men-especlally those aspiring
to public honors-are merringly judged
and that this standard will be adhered
to during the coming political contest,
all may rest assured. True, the people
as well as individuals will, at times,
make mistakes, but, generally speak
ing, they make less in their collective
than in their individual capacity. And
it Is to this very discrimination we may
safely trust. He who knows nothing
but party-he who has neither forgot
ten nor learned anything, will. natural
ly, always "stick up" or "hold out"
for party, but with men gifted with a
reasonable share of good, sound, com.
mon sense, mere party amounts to but
little, and although in National politics
we may disregard the manor sink
him, if you please--for principles, in
the narrower sense we never should,
and that the people of Carbon will pay
due regard to both, at the coming elec.
ton, is but to expect that which is Jea-
sonable, for he who has nothing but
parry for passport, is rarely man tn
be trusted with the administration of
public affairs. But vox populi vox Die,
and to the people we may safely trust.
Here they are; "you pays your money
and takes your choice"
