AS the time approaches for electing,
janitor of tho Cherry street school build
ing, interest increases in the question an to
whether our Democratic school board Will
elect q Democrat to tho position, or
whether tho present incumbent, ltepub
lican, will DO reelected. MIR. klingboll IL
accused of having worked actively against
the Democracy at tho last election, and II
tho Democrats of tho board believe this,
then off goes his head. lie, however,
denies the charRs. The action OF tho Re
publican county commissioners IN refusing
To appoint Demo o a,ic tax collectors, even
when they are tho lowest bidders, and the
Examiners endorsement of that policy
seem to Justify the Democratic demand
that tho Republicans must go. There is
no question about the proprioty Of giving
the collection of tho borough tax to the
Democratic bidder, who is competent,
oifcrs ample security and is tho lowest
bidder.
The school board will meet to night to
pass action on tho diplomas OF high
school graduates of this years class.
