The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1882-11-25

Weissport Letter.
Carbon county has two candidates for
legislative appointments. One for Chief
Clerk and the other for Transcr bing Clerk.
Our county, by virtue OF its Democracy and
prominent men contributed as much to the
party triumph as any other set of men o.
the sane number and should be recognized
in some manner. Mr.. Cassidy who aspires
to the Chief Clerkship, is intellectually and
morally fitted for the position. II Carbon
is to be recognized, we trust that he will SO.
cure the position. II Cassidy should fail in
his aspiration, then our Representatives are
in duty bound to supprt, with the determin-
alton of winning, P. j. Meehan for the
Transcribiug Clerkship. Meehan is we'll
fitted for the position and ifsuceessful would
no doubt fill the place with satisfaction and
credit To aspire is always in order, but TO
loi,i is where the tug Of war comes in.
In looking over the County returns last
week we noticed that the Frohibitionists
only polled 80 votes in the County. This is
surprising, for we expected that they would
at least poll $50 10 400 votes. Last year they
had 275, which shows that instead OF gain
ing they lost. THIS seems to have been the
case all over the Union. For instance the
is the greatest misfortune that has overtnk
en- this embryotic party. II is defeat is in
deed bad and poor omen for the future.
