with John ]. Gallagher's name
printed John q. Gallagher,
the democratic candidate for
county commissioner losing So
votes thereby, which were not
counted for him being decided
irregular"
1t was Joe Lynn, Of the AZ;
G. Democrat, who made an
insulting personal attack upon
Rev. Father Heihen, pastor
ofthe German Catholic church
of East Mauch Chunk.
1t was this same Joe Lynn
who a few years ago ehdeavors
ed to betray the democracy of
the county by trying to get up
a mixed ticket OF democrats
and republicans.
1t was Joe Lynn, of the M.
G. Democrat, who but several
years ago was sat upon by the
democratic convention of old
northampton county for try
ing to foment trouble and dis
sension in that assemblage.
1t is this same Joe Lynn
who has been casting cold
water upon the present county
ticket, furnishing information
to the Gazette to be used a.
gainst democrats, and is secret
ly working for its defeat and
for the success of the republi-
can ticket, simply because he
cannot use certain candidates
or exact pledges from them for
his own personal interest and
profit, and who now, like a
pulling, babyish treachcrous
political demagogue, returns
to his vomit, and at the 18th
hour, through the medium of
postal cards, shows his des-
picable littleness to the utter
disgust of every one.
Democrats; do not be de-
ceived by anything that emen-
ates from Joe Lynn, the poll
tical somersaultist Of the coun-
ty, but gird on your armor and
fight until election day with
greater energy, vigor and per-
severance than ever. Thank
fortune that time sets all things
right; a day of retribution is
coming that will be far more
searching and whitening to
such political apostates than
Benedict Arnold, the traitor,
ever experienced. Having
sacrificed every particle ofhon-
or and political principle, he
will be kicked into that insig-
nificance which his continuous
trait6rotis conduct SO richly
merits; let him be so branded
and marked that he may do
us NO injury hereafter. 1t is
useless to waist further anu
milton on such a political "dead
duck" When Gov. A. H.
Reeder turned traitor to the
democratic party, IN the Buch-
anan campaign. it was imme-
diately telegraphed to State
Chairman, Col. John w. For
