The Convention Can Come Here
The Amendment to Single
Rule all that is Necessary.
SENTIMENT IN FAVOR OF LEHIGH-
TON CONSTANTLY AUGMENTs.

The Rules of the Democratic party fix
Mauch Chunk, the county seat, as the place

ings ands conventions. - Mauch Chunk
Democrat.
What Of IL; an amendment to the rules
and regulation can easily, quickly and sat-
isfactorily change all this; and most GER
tainly 1t should be changed. Lehighton
Democrats ask for the Convention because
they believe In all spirit Of fairness they are
justly entitled to it. They gave Cleveland
more than one hundred mvioritv out of five
hundred votes cast, and later on they gave
Chauncey Black majority of one hundred
and fifty out of the total vote cast. They
will do their duty doubly well this year, so
let us haYe the Convention. The change
is heartily endorsed by Democratic leaders
all over the county and many committee
men have expressed concurrence in the
sentiments expressed. With all respect TO
the County Seat, its sterling Democrats and
the magnificent tickets nominated and plat
forms formulated in years past, we must
say candidly that they have no one partic-
ular claim that can legitemately be advanced
for the Convention being held there. Not
so with Lehighton.
Lehighton waits the coming Democratic
Convention held in that thriving borough.
We see no reason why 1t should not be held
there and several reasons why it should

GUS to hear the orations and essays of the
graduates. The large stage was occupied
by the graduating class, Faculy of the Col
lege, Board of Trustees and Board of Man
ayers. The orations and essays were prac-
tical and instructive, giving evidence to the
work done in the institution. Among the
graduates were two Carbon county men.
e. o. Nothstein, of Normal Square and

honor men were 4. o. Nothstein, first, and
