The Somerset herald. [volume] (Somerset, Pa.) 1870-1936, 1882-10-11


Dental Rooms at the Glade House.
That Boss Coffroth was badly winged by
the HERALD's expose of the manner in
which he BETRAYED John II. Uhl, Esq.
bossed and tricked the late Democratic con-
vention and sold the sutfrages of $500 of
his friends and brethren that he might be
returned TO Congress, is sclearly evident from
the manner in which he foams, bellows and
charges around in the last issue of his Som
erset Democrat. The truth always hurts and
as the HERALD got its information largely
4 from Democratic sources, it lent an addi-
tional sting 1t was to be expected that the
Boss would pour out the vials of his wrath
upon the head of the HERALD in his usual
grammatical way; that he would use his
choicest billingsgate and employ few OF
! his sterotyped phrases, but he did not con
fine himself to this; his wrath was kiHdled
not little, and inoifensiye men like Fred
erick Zimmerman aud Daniel Mosteller
came in for share of his reviling and abuse
/ But this is scientific politics, and we
dare not complain. The abuse of IA man
who would barter away the votes of menu
bers of his own party for selfish ends falls
lightly on the heads Of honest men. You
have sold your brethren for a price, Gen
eral Can you deliver the goods?
4 Coon MEErING.--The Republicans of
somerset North opened the campaign in
Somerset county for General Beaver, by a
rousing meeting at Edie, Saturday.night. In
point of numbers, enthusiasm, and the
character Of the men who composed the
audience, it was one of the best meetings we
have had the pleasure of attending for years.
The solid farmers of that section turned out
almost 10 a man, and there was no mistak-
ing their determined manner and conversa-
tion. They are Republicans in the full
sense of the word, aud ifthe old-time enemy
and their Independent allies are notsoundly
rebuked by the voters of Somerset North on
the 7th day of November, we miss our
guess. Hiram Beam, Esq, was elected
President of the meeting, with Mr. Isaiah
Bell and Mr.. Josiah Ankeny as Vice Presi-
dents. Hon. A. J. Colborn and +. W. Bic
seeker Esq, made ringing speeches. The
meeting adjourned with three rousing cheers
for Beaver and the whole Republican ticket.
The Republicans of the north have given
the ball such start that it will keep on
rolling until the day of the election
