Woiesp0rt Lettor'
The result ol Tuesday is los glorious to
be commented on, both in stata and Ma
tien. The people did the work and not the
bosses.
Docs W. Z. Weiss deserve the bitter CAL
umy and abuse that is hesped upon him by
the StalwRrts and Webbs supporters? Their
bitterness and spleen is against reason and
ouly emenales from little misds that con-
tain nothing but ignorance OF principle and
not tie conception of the requirements OF
conscient ious duty. Mr.. Weiss pursued the
only course consistent with his principles
and profession. He gave nc.;rs to the Re
publican rulers and Masses. before the Re
publican convention met that lie ahd his
fellow laberers in the cause Of temperance.
could under no circumstances support
Webb for Sheriff. The warning was spurn-
ed, repudiated and trampled upon as though
it emsnated from q contemplate lick spit
tic and foul gutter snips unworthy oi reccg-
nitiou. After due warning the gauntlet
was thrown down and Weiss notified that
he amounted to nothing and was not to be
noticed. In the face OF his pleadings and
notice he pursued the only path consistent
with his principles and stand taken before
the Republican convention, consequently
the spleen, bitterness and caumy is misdi-
rected and only worthy Of the men who
wake it. Their answer to reason is calumy,
and to the performance ofa conscientious
duty, slsnder and abuse. Weiss comes out
of this contest more honorable and cousis-
tent than be would, il he only had notified
Webb and bis friends of doing certain
things and then acted the craven, abject
coward in refusing to do so. He has main
taned his good word and proven TO the
world that there is a fixedness Of purpose
about him which is Of infinitely more value
to him than all the praise sn1 glory that
could have been bestowed upon him by the
would be big, but mighty stHall politicians
o. the Stalwart persuasion. Their praises,
in any event, would have been condenna-
ton, and their cendemnations are praises Of
glory that you have the animosity of these
Stalwarts, so do not dcsl air at their side
lugo iets, for your honor, character and good
rePute rises above them as phoenix does out
of her ashes, and as the essence oftruth con-
trasts favorablp with the essence Of deprav-
ity and wickedness. All praise to him who
has the courage to follow the path where
duty leads.

Charley Lentz was elected Sheriff, not
withsthnding the bitterness and meansSt
opposition that any naR ever encountered
heretofore in this county. The many gal
lens of whiskey that were distributed In
Tswamensing, Lower Towanlensng and
East Penn were OF some avail, but not
enough to defeat the young meu's repre-
sentative-LeAiz.

plurality Of 10000 in Philadelphia was not

Some OF the bays hnye been damning the
"Red headed" chairman just because they
arc short some odds.
The elections were attended by very
little excitement on Tuesday and the re-
suits are full of surprises, especially in

gratulatlons on his .ucccss. ALIEN.
