The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1882-10-07

Iu George W. Esser, the Democracy oi
Carbon county has a candidate Of whom the
party moy we'll feel proud. He isa man
who deserves the united and unhinching
support Of every person who is democrat
aud Of every citizen who believes that abili-
ty and experience should characterize the
occupant of the resi- onsble position for
which he isa candidate. Mi. Esser has
been weighed in the balance and not lound
wanting. He has been and still is faith
ful public servant, aud 1t would be most
unfortunate move, il by soihe strange hall
lucination the people should, by defaulti
permit his opponent, who is only CATS
paw Of The Republicans To draw Irish Votes,
slip into the Pruth onatory's Office But the
people are wiser and more ssgaeious than
to allow change OF officer, when the oc-
cupant who is a candidate for reelection has
trrven himself 10 be one of the most elfi-
cient and accommodating officials that the
county ever had. II the lower end Of the
country is tn be taken as criterion, than
Easer is decidedly the strongest man on our
ticket, and bis majority will rahge any
where from 4uO To 200. In such u candid
ate the democracy have a wholesome in
centive to work, to activity and enthuse.
