Tom Cochran's place at Harrisburg and
his political future are staked ON it.
He is excited.
People outside of the district ar, taking
an interest and hand in it,
1t is pretty we'll understood that Senator
Thomas V. Cooper, of Media, who wants
a third term as senator and who is to be
the Republican candidate for Governor in
1852 and wants Lancaster county's aid to
make that nomination. is expected to con-
troll Snowden to make the census appoint
ments in the lower end in Mylin's inter-
est.
Cochran has been ready to ..hook up"
even with j. W. johnson in Mylin's in
terest.
Eberly, the Bull Ring candidate for dis
trlct attorney, has no strength to speak of
i'll the lower end and can do Mylin no
good.
This is where the shoe pinches, and ex-
Sheriff Harry Breneman says that Eberly
will only be a milestone to Mylin's neck.
How the Hog Ring saved themselves
from Cochran's project of joining the forces
of Mylin and johnson will be told further
OH.
Mylin can expect no grace from Smith,
SO his friends are generally for Griest
Altogether $4,000 was put into the
pool for Mylin's benefit.
His friends hope to hold Reinoehl even
in the city.
Their contest is the most uncertain of
the uncertainties of this campaign.
Mylin is scared and Reinoehl hopeful.
When Hay Brown and Mylin return
from their interview with Quay in Phila-
delphia, to-day, the sky may show differ
ent weather signs.
For District Attorney
When the Bull Ringers got together at
the County house, yesterday, they had
what one of them tells us was "a h-ll OF
a time, y settling a candidate for district
attorney. Fred Smith, Harry Breneman
and some others who recognize the impos-
sibility of electing Eberly, and had Undue
ed Clay Brubaker to become u candidate.
insisted that in his name only could John
son be beaten. Jack IIiestand and Frank
Eshleman insist on sticking to the Cincia-
natl bargain in Eberly's behalf. Eberly's
friends were willing to put up the stuff
and finally their contribution to the pool
was accepted. Rumor puts it at $500.
Some of the Bull Ringers left the confer
ence swearing it would be of no good, and
the money would only be spent in vain, SO
far as Eberly is concerned. Those who
are most interested in Mylin, however, are
satisfied that it may enure to his political
benefit, and would rs soon spend Eberly's
money as any other mans.
In the councils of the Hog Ring party
there was like trouble over the district
attorney candidate.
McMellen, Amos Croft, Mertzer s. Co
want Davis, but they are afraid of john
son.
johnson has the greater individual
strength: Davis has more politicians for
him.
Yesterday, after a cOuntryman w: S
given $50 with a Hog Ring ticket bearing
Davis's name, he was called aside and in
structed that if he could not make vote
for Davis he should make it for Johnson
johnson is the second choice of Hog
Ring.
Do you understand what this means:
johnson and Davis are to be both run.
each taking the chance of beating the other
and both to be run to beat the Bull Ring
nominee.
Next Saturday night if they lead all the
others they are to take the chances be-
tween themselves. If either Eberly or
Brubaker leads the one of them
Davis and JohnsoD that is
lower is to be counted down, and
the votes taken from him to be transferred
to the other to run him up to winning
figures, the Hog Ring winner to pay the
Hog Ring losers campaign expenses.
1t is a neat arrangement. 1t may count
in one of the Hog Ring candidates.
McMellen is a host on election day.
Davis will carry the town, as it looks now,
and is formidable candidate.
With the Smith tide, however, reaction
may set it for Brubaker, and if his boom
starts Dy Thursday it may land him in
port.
Lower End Assemblymen.
For Legislature in the lower end, PeO-
les, Brosius and Landis continue to be
the leading candidates, the chances being
about in tha: order, since Davis's friends,
the McMellen wing of the Hog Ring, are n
little averse to giving Landis any support
after his submission to Don Cameron and
his vote for Don's reelection. All par
ties seem anxious to capture Peoples to
give strength to their combination. Tho
politicians have fellow feeling for Cat
chell, which may get him many votes, but
he can hardly win, even with their support.
Legislators from the Upper District.
In the upper end the Hog Ring feel pretty
certain of eleeting d. ID. Courtney and T.
NJ. Eberly, with a good complimentary
vote for johnson Miller. The Bull Ring
will concentrate all possible effort, with
good show of success, on John B. Eshle-
man. They will also run A. w. Snadcr,
and in Warwick township will make di-
version on Elias Becker, mainly to Grip
pie johnson Miller. Gantz is too heavy
load to carry, but he and Raymond are
both to be encOuraged-tO the end that
they may work to defeat each other and
thus be prevented from doing harm in any
