OUR POTTSVILLE LETTER.
No Eventful Happenings i'm the Political
Field Thus Far.
Special correspondence to HrRALD.

in the field so early this year that the can
didates theron remind one ofthe traditional
bird that arose with the dawn of day TO
catch the worm which had no business to
be 'gallivanting' around at an hour when
honest insects are better off in their holes.
So it is that it is too early to catch votes
and our standard bearers of the G. o. p.
wander about seemingly at a loss where or
upon whom to commence hostilities, You
can recall the lines:
"Call me early, mother dear,
For I'm to be Queen Of the May, mother
I'm to be Queen Of the May"
Noticing the ever-busy Schuylkill
Haven statesman with his necktie bloom
ing, healthful, handsome face, getting off
of first arriving trains these mornings Of
the flower grower days, reminds me that
Mr.. Losch, one of the candidates for the
Legislature in the Fourth district must be
called early because he wants TO be king Of
the turf in his tree-for.all race for Legisa-
tive honors, 1t is pretty we'll understood
that Mr.. Losch will not bo shut out at the
quarter-pole this year, since he will hold
many Democrats are known to be willing
to throw for him. Messrs. Kennedy and
Cooper are likewise in it, with both feet
this year, unless there shall be too much
trading between the start and finish.
The Senatorial fight, as was touched
upon slightly in my last, will doubtless be
Keefer VS.. Quinn, with the chances in favor
of the present member, because he knows
the district so we'll now after three con
secutive triumphs Yet Quinn is hustler
and will give the Cressona man no free
pass to the upper chamber at the state
capital. The reason it seems so certain
that Quinn will receive the Democratic
nomination for Senator is that he is believed
to be the only aspirant. Col. Henry
Roger, that prince of good citizens, has
been mentioned as prospective candidate,
but without his authority, the knowing
ones say. And Major Levi Huber that
noble patriarch of the Loyal Legion and a
dozen other societies. who has now reached
the age of three score years and thirteen,
and who is the youngest old man in forty
eight states, gave up running after political
| forlorn hopes many sdmmers ago. So
what is there in the way of the aspiring
Mr. Quinn to prevent HIM from browning
his recent triumphs with Democratic
nomination in Republican district2
There are two prospective county tickets
aud the unterrifed can take their choice
c. L, Pershing- -JUDGE-John W. Ryon
j. b. Reilly-CoNGREss-W F. Shepherd
b. Cumming, Jr-DIs'T ATToRNEY-J. w. Ryan
VIM, c. Smith-ooRoNER-H G.. Donahue
Perhaps DR.. Smith will be no candidate,
yet he is spoken of. Perhaps DR.. Donahue
is not, yet he is talked about for Coroner.
There is no doubt of the candidacy of all
the others named for the offices. 1t is
hardly likely that the Democratic conven-
tions in Schuylkill will be held until July,
after the national ticket shall have been
named in the windy city.
No, dear reader, Chicago is not called
the windy city because so many political
conventions are held there. 1t is called SO
because a breeze is usually on tap there,
either from lake Michigan, or from the
broad prairies so proximstely adjuncts of
the great city. could not help volunteer
ing this information. 1t was in me and
had to come out. Like unto the Ancient
Mariner who told the young wedding
guest:
Il pass, like night, from land TO land
have strange power of speech
That moment that his face 1 see,
know the man that must hear me;
To him my tale teach,
Like unto him, whose tale of wanderings
and troubles Samuel Taylor Coleridge, the
poet, so pathetically describes, your cor
respondent must tell that which be knows
when he kno IS who to tell it to and the
opportunity is presented.
Your correspondent has not, nor does he
seek, any controversy with the Miners
Journal, or any other paper. So when it
was thought necessary by the owner of the
Journal in tho issue of that paper of April
29th, last to call your correspondent to
account for attacking it for "its support of
an independent judiciary" it caused sur
prise; because in no letter TO your paper or
elsewhere, has the scribe written a word
about the Miners Journal and the sup
port referred to, l merely called attention
to the lukewarm manner in which that
paper is supporting the nominated Repub-
lican ticket this year, and in the article
charging me with attacking it, it charac-
terizss that lukewsrmness as positive by
beiittling the ticket as the work Of a
''machine' crowd.
There is little that is new in the political
world TO send you in this letter. All is
quiet along the line. The boys are
simply picking their aints, as it we're, and
waiting to see the whites Of the euemys
eyes before they shoot. N.
We wish every one of the readers of this
paper would give DR.. Coxe's Wild Cherry
and Seneka trial whenever Cough or
Group remedy is needed
