ty politicians at the delegate election
last Saturday. That they are justified
in doing as they did is evident from the
fact that the victory has been so COM
plete. AS we predicted the principle
exhibited by class of politicians who
intend to "rule or ruin" has become OBJ
noxious to the majority of Democratic
voters, and in justice to themselves and
the safety of the party they represent
they deemed it but consistent with their
past actions to defeat these men at the
polls. They defeated the opposition TO
Mr.. Klotz honestly and fairly, and in
view of the fact that the total disrup-
ton Of the Democratic party had been
threatened by DR.. Gillespie and his
friends in case of any factous opposi-
tion to Mr.. Cassidy. They defeated the
Honorable Michael Cassidys delegates
because they represented the principles
that imbues that honorable gentleman.
Nothing more! nothing less. That the
Democracy has been basely imposed up
on by politicians of the Reber- Cassidy
calibre is evident, and their defeat last
Saturday was plain, simple and decisive.

The Carbon county Democracy has
recognized the claims of the Knights of
Labor in The nomination of Daniel
Bachman, of Weatherly, for Assembly,
also in indorsing DR.. j. G. Zern, of this
place for Senator. 1t will now be in
order for that organization to advocate
his claims in their different assemblies
and help to make his election a certain
ty. That he is capable of filling the
high Office to which he is nominated is
concluded from the fact that his nomin-
alton was ADVOCATED by the organization
of which he is a prominent member
just how strong the Knights of Labor
are in this county is not definitely known,
but men who are supposed to know,
place the figures at about twenty-five
hundred. OF this number at least FIVE
eights are of Democratic persuasion,
which, with a solid party vote would
make Mr.. Bachman's majority between
four and FIVE hundred without counting
the three-eights vote supposed to be
Republican. That Nj. Bachman will
poll the full vote of the organization is
more than can be expected, but being in
sympathy with the cause of labor his
election is undoubtedly a certainty.
What will Mr.. Craig do in this matter?
Not being Knight of Labor will he be
sacrificed by the Democracy? 1t IS hard
ly fair to suppose that he should meet
with such fate, and yet judging from
the fact that the Knights of Labor, also,
have Republican seeking the nomina-
tion for Assembly, his defeat seems ap-
parent. Such a state of affairs would
be laInentable however, and the actions
of the Knight of Labor delegates who
voted for Mr.. Craig could hardly be
classed as honorable either to their or
ganization or TO Democracy The late
convention was conducted honestly,
fairly and impartiallY. Messrs. Craig
and Bachman were nominated because
they represented the foremost principles
of the Democratic party, as such it is
the duty OF every Democratic voter to
support and work for them. If they do
not, they fail in doing their duty as
Democrats, which event would portend
much in Carbon county politics, even
more than the ablest politician can
fathom at this time.

Your attention is directed to the ad-
vertisement of NJ. A. Oswald in another
column of days ADVOCATE. Some
time ago Mr.. Oswald was compelled to
move into a larger building in order to
better facilitate his growing business,
anc if present indications are synoni-
nous of greater things he will soon have
to enlarge his present building. Mr..
Oswald is one of the most enterprisng
young business men in this place.

We are reliably informed that if the
aspiring Franklin statesman had not
put in his appearance at the delegate
election last Saturday the Hoaorable
Michael Cassidy would have secured one
of the delegates from that place. This
strikes us as rather strange, as we were
laboring under the impression that
Frank was working for the interests OF
the Honorable Mike,

Rather tough on Franklin Demo.
cracy if true.--A enthusiastic KIot7
man last Saturday hired horse and
carriage and drove out in the countr,
about three miles in order to have cer.
tain individual deposit ballot in the
interest of Klota delegates. At the
polls, however, a Cassidy spirit tool
possession of him, and up to the poll.
he goes and drops his vote for Michae
much to the discomfort of the Klot,
man.

last Saturday Mauch Chunk club sue
