Juniata sentinel and Republican. [volume] (Mifflintown, Juniata County, Pa.) 1873-1955, 1884-04-02
Right and Left.

IHE rlSnt ana lelJ Wings VI sno
Democracy in Juniata have each Sc
lected two delegates to attend the
Democratic State Convention that is
to meet at Allentown, on the 9th inst.
The right wing elected A. j. Patter-
son and William Ulsh, as delegates.
The former is the public speaker for
the delegation. Ulsh is leader that
is not gifted with speech, and per
haps he has often complained OF 1t
as did Moses, the greatest of all
leaders and law givers. The Jewish
leader and law giver was manager.
Ulsh is a good manager, man OF
property, and taxpayer of considera-
BILE amount. He may not be able to
handle himself to seeming advantage
at Allentown. but he will neverthe-
less give efficient support to the right
wing cause, and what Ulsh does not
know of the highland and lowland
politics of Slim Valley and Juniata
Democracy will hardly be correctly
found out elsewhere, and about the
time that the left wing believe that
their polished diplomacy, and high
flown speech has won or annihilated
Ulsh, they will probably discover that
he has Bismarked them all and ap-
pears at his place as unconcerned and
placid as placid can be. At Allen
town it will become necessary for
him to groom up Patterson first-rate,
for the reason, that the talking quail
tiles. numerically considered, are
against him and in favor of the left
wing. Patterson is an able man. a
good debater. and speaks rapidly
like Frenchman and with more
than common emphasis. When he
takes the platform he finds few, if
anv superiors, in Juniata. He is one
of the strong writers for the right
wing press in this county, and there
will be few abler men knock at the
door of the State Convention for ad-
mission. In point of numbers the
right wing of the Democracy have
the largest following, but they failed
to declare n preference for Presi-
Dental candidate. That failure will
prove to be either the strength or
weakness of the Patterson-Ulsh
claim for admission at Allentown
The left wing instructed its delegates
to support Randall for the Presiden
cy, and if the Randall people be in
majority at the Convention, they prob
ably may declare against the admis-
sion of Patterson and Ulsh. The
Democracy are scared over the tariff
issue, and the Randall men say that
Randall is tariff Democrat and that
to nominate him will take the tariff
question out of the campaign. But
that is further on The left wing
delegation is E. d. Parker and D. d.
Stone Parker is the boss of all Of
them. He is the big man in their
coach. They would be a mere pigmy
without him; he owns their press, and
is an able man, gentleman who rec
ognizes the amenities of life, strong,
forceable, pleasing public speaker
There will be few abler men at Allen
town than he. His colleague, of the
Lost Cause, and one of the editors of
the Iribune-D. ID. Stone, is pleas
ant gentleman, an able speaker who
is abundantly qualified to second any
position taken by his chief Patter-
son and Ulsh will have to draw their
coats to hold them level Then, in
addition to these twoable champions
of the left wing, the talking ex mem
ber, the chief editor of the Tribune,
will leave his desk in the State de-
partment, at Harrisburg to take tilt
for Parker and Stone and the left
wing generally. He will represent
Governor Pattison's administration
and be most loyal Democrat, but
will not have it intimated there, that
when they combined at home to elect
Conn, Hench, and Shivery that they
shut the eyes of good many honest
voters in Juniata, by creating the i'm
preston that they were advancing
the interests of the Republican par
ty. Taking the right and left wings,
ali in all, as they will be represented
at Allentown, there will be few ADLER
