The Carbon advocate. [volume] (Lehighton, Pa.) 1872-1924, 1891-11-07

The result of last Tuesdays election,
what does il mean ? The vote cast for
the Combination candidates is hardly
more than 500 and in a measure it
shows the full strength of the gang Of
political lepers who for ten years past
have had their fangs fastened to the
throats of the honest voters of Carbon
and placed them in the position of
slaves to the will of such men as Bob
Klotz, Mickey Cassidy and others of
their inl, and allowed the perpetra-
ton of some of the most contemplate
political work ever encompassed. But
there time has come-Tuesday they
showed their hand, and 5000 voters re-
pudiated the pretensions of the gang by
voting against them. With this large
number of loyal, honest, intelligent
people voting against Cassidy and his
gang there is abundant hope for a
Democratic party in the future that
will have at its head leaders, not Bosses,
who will be credit to the party and
the people of the county, This will be
the out come of Tuesdays election and
the Combination will be heard no more
of. The people of Carbon county can
now sing praises of thanksgiving, they
are forever relieved of Klotz, Cassidy
and scattering few men just as politi.
cally debauched in every particular.
A combination of men who place them
selves in the position assumed by the
leaders of the late burlesque are only
deserving the contempt of honest peo-
pie. In their whole campaign there is
scarcely an honest act, from gagging
the will of the majority to bribing a
candidate This is the record they
have made and it is only in full sym
pathy with their lives and characters
The people are we'll rid of these up
starts, and though Mr.. Esser is de
feated it is gratifying to remember
that the 5000 voters who we're with him
still live and condemn the actions OF
such would be Democrats as the
Cassidy ilk. This is why, though de
feated, we still find cause for congratu
lation. Phoenix like, the New Demo
cracy will grow up, but purged of con
temptible upstarts; it will be strong
and viGOrous in it's elements and full
capable to fight winning battles from
year to year. Victory has been but
temporarily postponed but the Bosses
are rebuked and will be no more hearC
Of. The State organization which pros
tituted decency in recognizing the
Combination need only look to the
vote cast in the county for Wright anC
Tilden. Does it show that George
Esser. or his friends traded on it Not
much, but can the Combination say the
same, certainly not if reports are al
true and their scarcely 500 votes SHOW
exactly where they stand. But nov
the people of Democratic faith have {
duty to perform, they must get to
gether, perfect strong organization
determine upon clean and pure leaders
by doing this 1892 will find the party il
good fighting condition and a ticke
can be nominated that will win. Viii
you do it? By getting together earl!
is the means, and County Chairman
Sharkey should not let the opportunit,
go by in default. The result will b.
what we have predicted, and thel
victory will be worth the fighting for
Don't waste time in angry pickering
or useless argument with Bobby Klot
and his lackeys. We have had enougl
of the 'stuffed prophet" and his sid
show attraction. Now is the time t,
get to work. Don't delay.
