In looking over the political horoscope
we nd everything calm. But there was
one suggestion made to US by prominent
citizen, which struck your correspondent
viewing IL from Democratic standpoint, IN
very favorable manner. The suggestion
was that Hon. A. ]. Durling, of Lehighton,
would make very good and strong can
didate for Associate Judge this fall. The
idea is good one, and we doubt II better
or more qualified gentleman could be select
ell by the Democracy for this position.
Mr.. Durling has good sound Judgments a
proper appreciation of that which is right
and the faculty of giving justice unto whom
|
not become a tool OF circumstances, but
would act upon the principle OF individuall
tv and honor. Such man is''wSnted in
that position and we hope aud trust that
the suggestion will become a reality and
make the candidacy Of Mr.. Durling fixed
fact. What says Mr.. Durlingf
The rage, the frenzy, now s-days is
"Did you get your gems takeuR" "Wili you
exchange with me2" &c. This is the cry OF
the small and largej the young and agilei
and the old and hoary headed. Some oil
our folks have had as manv as IL settings

full indeed
