the roseate hue of health and ready and
eager to begin fight to the finish against
the corporate power which interfered in his
RYoN's PETITION FILED.
On Monday the petition of Mr.. Ryon,
over seven hundred Democratic |
sgners, was fled at Harrisburg and thus all |
that was necessary to place his name on
the ticket as an Independent candidate for
Judge was done. Upwards of two thou.
sand names we're obtained for the different
petitions sent broadcast over the county,
but it was only necessary to file three
hundred and thirty-three of them, which
is three per oentum of the vote cast for
Ebling for Poor Director last fall, he hav.
ing received the Largest entire vote for
any officer elected at the last preceding
election" Thus the 3rd section of the
Ballot Reform law has been more than
complied with and Hon. John w. Ryon
becomes q full.fedged candidate.
WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE?
Every one has his right to conjecture and
prognosticste. This is an unalienable
right, lust as the right to think, and every
one who can think generally exercises that
privilege, but there are very many who
c)ngregate around the gossip marts who
think they are thinking when they are
only voieing the sentiments of others who
have heard some one else talk in barber
shop or cigar store or possibly in that great
reservoir for news and the expression of
opinion, the library room Of the court
house, where the wiseacres on all subjects
air their knowledge or ignorance as the
case may be. The prevailing sentiment is,
however, that Mr.. Ryon has enough votes
pledged to secure the election of the Repub-
licsn candidate. 1t is wise, therefore, to
stick to the calculation set out in a former
letter in your columns. Only about one
third of the names signed were sent to
Harrisburg and it Is claimed that there are
as many more than those who signed who
will cast their votes for the great lawyer
when the time comes to do so. Surely, if
the election were held to-day the result
would bear out the prevailing opinion as
have stated it. After this week Mr. Koch
will enter actively into the work Of his
campaign and you may look for some very
positive indications about the middle of
October.
RESULTS OF THE AUDITORS WORK.
The County Auditors having concluded
their investigation into the malfessances Of
the County Commissioners, the contractor
and architect Of the new court house and
other minor officials, their report was
presented to Court and yesterday Judge
Green charged the grand jury and that
body has acted. You may look for the
trial of the most celebrated cases of their
kind ever tried in Pennsylvania in short
time and be not surprised if history does
not repeat itself in the case of the County
Commissioners of Sehuylkill.
WHILE I WRITE
A gentleman, representing T. and j. W.
johnson. law book dealers of Philadelphia,
is here examining the law library and
noting the books which are lacking to
make up this necessary adjunct of the
courts. He has just expressed himself Of
the opinion that ours is the finest court
house in the state and he has seen them all.

cost $4,000 more than it could have been
