will not again ask his Democratic friends
to cut their ticket, or in other words, that
he will not endanger his health by going
into bard canvass, it may be pretty fight
between two new men for the Legislative
honor
There is no denying the fact that James
Handwerk is laying his ropes for fourth
term. This fight may be between the same
contestants as last year--Lentz and.IIand-
werk. In that fight Lentz was beaten
principally through the opposition of DIR.
Kramer, who believed himself deceived by
Lentz at the nomination, in not getting the
Mauch Chunk delegation. For this Lentz
was not to blame for the reason that Geo.
Dolan's friends made it nigh impossible to
eeiyer them against him. To deliver this
delegation for Kramer Lentz would have
endangered his own chances. Handwerl's s
majority after all was but 1876, and that with
Labor ticket in the field.
