Pershing had better keep off the ticket"
So that if the Ryon men keep their people
well in hand the nestor of the bar will grace
the head of the Democratic ticket next
Monday.
And what then? Why, Mr.. Koch wi
lead him a lively dance, you may wager
and with fair prospects for success; not So
bright as he would have if Pershing were
his opponent, but yet bright enough for al
purposes.
But returning to the paragraph reprinted
above. Let me tell you that it is not Ryou
that "has allied himself with certain can
didates," but it is Judge Pershing himself
or his alleged friends have done it for him.
One combination is Pershing, Shepherd
and Jim Ryan. Another is Pershing,
Reilly and Ginning or Ulrich, most
likely the latter.
IT this statement is discredited by any
one let him call for corroboration on Jack
Toole or Jimmy Ryan. If Toole will tell
all he knows about it, he will say how init
mate he and Judge Pershing are; how his
anxiety to make Shepherd Congressman
and Jim Ryan District Attorney keeps him
busy fighting to put Judge PershiDg at tn
head of the ticket. Now, dear HERALD
don't let it circulate in the west end of the
| Unions, or therea bouts, where you have
such wide circulation, that Mr.. Toole is
for Pershing, because it would certainly in
jure the latters chances, and as Republi
cans we are interested in having the Judge
on the Democratic ticket He would make
the easiest meat for Mr.. Koch to chew.
LEGISLATIVE LEAVES.
Major Levi Huber wont take the Sens
torial nomination if he has to go to Tre-
mont and fight for it. So Democrats who
are interested in having full-grown can
didate want John Sullivan and others to
get off the track. Anyhow, what does Sui
livan want the nomination Tor. He cannot
tell in which battle he lost his arm, whether
at Gettysburg, Fair Oaks, or Wrightsville,
and he will place himself in a nice pickle
if he should take the stump, we mean go on
the hustings, and some fellow in the crowd
should ask him to tell all about the war.
He is good fellow and 1, for one, would
not like to see him sacrificed on the altar oi
ambition.
William Kennedy, the prominent mer'
chant, who does business opposite George
w. Kennedy, Republican candidate, is the
latest aspirant for Legislative honors
Should he present himself at fremont he
will be given nomination as a present and
J then there would be Kennedy on both
I tickets. Their first names will have to be
/ printed in large capitals so that the voters
can distinguish one from the other.
Candidates George Kennedy and Cooper
are skipping around quite lively. Losct
has only been home from the West a week
or SO and is resting. He is bad headed
and hopeful as usual. The Democrats oi
Pottsville are focking to Losch's standard
Senator Keefer is making still hunt, al
always before, getting in solid work and
cementing it in advance so that his oppo.
= nent will have to use dynamite to break il
down. Mr.. Keefer is keeping mis- weather
eye on Major Huber.
A clean-cut candidate for Senator is
Josiah LineawesYer, E-q., one of oul
most popular lawyers. L Ike M, jor Huber
Mr. Lineswesver will make no fight for the
nomination, but will accept if given the
place unanimously. So you see the Ire,
mont convention will not go s-begging fol
candidates after all.
