Carbon county gives Robert E. Pattson
majority of no and elects the entire
Democratic county ticket with the single
exception of Mr.. Frank p. Semmel, Of
town, who is defeated for Register and
Recorder by James II. Handwerk, Of
Mauch Chunk. Semmers defeat lies pri-
marlly with the Representative Young
Democracy" of the County Seat, and It is
also said from the free distribution Of
Doodle at the last moment in districts
where Semmel was assured large vote
If there is any truth in the accusation the
guilty party or parties should be ferreted
out and punished as the law pTescribes
II there is any truth, we said, and we may
60 a little farther and add, if it is true
that Lafayette Lentz, Robert Kloiz and
others Of Mauch Chunk used this means
of defeating Semmel the law wants to take
hold of them and punish them as tho cor
ruptors of honest elections deserve to be
punished.
The ADVOCATE is no respector Of per
sons in serious matter of this kind and
condemns the contemplate actions of a
set of disappointed place seekers who, Ia
be specific, live in Mauch Chunk, when
they stoop TO anything TO defeat an honor
able gentleman, a staunch Democrat and 0
good citizen. Frank P. Semmel goes
down but il is with the satisfaction o.
knowing that il took the combined effort
of Obediah's Gazette, Rauch's Democrat
the Representative young Democracy, "
Bob Klotz and the whole gang Of Maucf
Chunks disappointed place seekers and
did some one say "boodle,' to bring /
about, Here at home where he is known
he is complimented with a majority of 26S
because his friends, neighbors and towns
people appreciate his ability and condemn
the examinations of the mud singing op
position organs.

VOLUME XIX. NO. I.

We cannot well pass oyer this issue of
the CARBON ADvooATE without making
brief resume of the past. Eighteen years
ago, when this journal was presented TO
the public for consideration, Lehighton was
comparatively in its infancy, having as
sumed the gsrb of borough only a few
years before, and at the time was wrestling
with the usual difficulties that the transit
tion period originates, The town, then
scattered village, is now an enterprising
little city; the population then scarcely
more than a thousand, now number three
thousand; with scarcely dozen business
houses then, we now haye more than half
a hundred; with only two edifices of wor-
ship eighteen years ago, now six handsome
churches tell the morality OF our people;
with one or two industries then, Low
dozen; with little order and contempt, now
decency and respect; with poor schools,
now an unexceled faculty; and so OH here
and there throughout the town hundred
aud one improvements force themselves to
view,where eighteen years ago all was in a
state of chaos. The CARBON ADVOCATE,
too, has prospered from a small six
column weekly we have from time to time
made VIGOROUS advances, and to-day lead
in Carbon county journalism-our bona
fde circulation being greater by several
hundred than that of any other weekly
newspaper published between Allentown
and Wilkesbarre. But this prosperity has
not come to us without effort We have
labored to give the people newspaper
that would tell the truth in an independent
way, without fear or favor, and from this
dates our success. The people take to the
ADVOCATE as a duck takes to water, be
cause we give the news and give It in tn,
right way We go into every town, village
and hamlet in Carbon county, and II kinC
expressions of opinion are a criterion, W.
are more than welcome visitor TO tht
fireside. As the ADvoAcTE has been in tht
past so it will continue to be in the future
"a first-class independent local newspape
and the price will be S1.0O year or fift.
cents for six months. In connection will
our newspaper we have fine job printing
plant, to which we invite the attention o
business men and others needing anything
in this line. In conclusion we desire Il
thank our patrons for past favors ard asl
continuance in the future.

oHArRMAN- oAssIDY's GLORIOUS

ChAlHmANa -CAbSlDA'S 6iOhiOhS
-- WORK.
The result of the campaign in this coun-
ty is no doubt great surprise to many
people, but to those who watched the pro-
gress of the campaign closely and saw the
skill and ability with which the Demo
cratic side vas managed, the result is what
was expected.
When the Democratic party in the coun-
" held It's convention, nominated its can
dldates and placed its ticket in the field
the overwhelming opinion freely expressed
was that the whole ticket would be defeat
cd, and this opinion was based upon the
facts that the party was rent by factions,
the party organ in open revolt and the
county full of disappointed, - defeated
candidates swearing vengeance on the
whole ticket. The Democratic County
Committee met on the evening of the con-
vention and elected Michael Cassidy, Esq,
Chairman, and he accepted, this was a
fortunate thing for the party. No county
chairman in this county ever entered a
campaign Win SIGhtol ullilCulJlCo w aui-
mount, and no county chairman ever ac-
quilted himself better than he did. Chair
man Cassidy knew how to go about gain
ing victory when every one was predict
ing defeat. He displayed good diplomacy
in spending the first three weeks quietly
visiting the leaders of the party, and as he
left, each dropped into line, until mostly
all the leaders were working in harmony
with the Chairman. From that time to
the end of the campaign he was aggres.
sive, untireing, actively and continuously
at work, and we haYe no hesitation in say
ing that to him more than to any other
man is due the credit for the Democratic
victory In Carbon county. The defeat of
enc candidate on the ticket is no fault of
his. He did his duty to all the candidates,
The defeat OF Mr.. Semmel was caused by the
treachery of some and the spleen and spite
of others who have been highly honored
by the party in this county. Michael
Cassidy is safe, clean and honest leader,
who has earned the respect and gratitude
of the Democracy of Carbon county
