and Frew assure them Paradise Martin s.
Frey and Seltzer; Pierson NJ. Eberly and
others in the northeast are counted ON
and though they have lost McMellen they
claim that his henchmen Ben. Hockey,
John Strohm jr., and the forces of the
Goods and Amos Croft in tho lower end
are with them and powerfully weaken the
effect of McMellen's detection. Geo.

ing through. They expect from 500 to
1000 majority in the city, and have it
well set for that. From Manor to the
Maryland line and back to the Welsh
Mountain, they will likely carry
every district, except perhaps, Fulton,
the Lampeters and a chance ON Strasburg.
Salisbury will be far better fought by the
Examiner party than three years ago.

had paid his tol, to the gate. keeper who
had waited up for us. Jack Hiestand
has handled his paper better than ever
before. He has been goadcd up to it by
the young blOods on his side and by tho
desperate chances Of his and it's political
existence staked on this fight. but his as
saults on Geist and the coalition with Sen.
