Presidential year, so that news gatherers
are put to their wits ends to collate what they |
do get. In all my experience 1 know Of
no calmer period four weeks before election !
day. There is plenty of talk and coniec'
ture in private circles, but it seems to be |
understood that there will be little or no
paradng and that the flash and fuss Of the
torchlight parade is gone forever.
THE JUDICIAL CONTEST.
Yet there is always something new to say
politically. AS soon as it became TO be APP
parent that Mr.. Ryon's boom had come to
stay and that the Democracy had much to
fear from it, friends of our candidate, Mr..
Koch, took heart and from that time for
ward he was considered more than posi-
bility and that his chances we're in the as
cendancy. This is still the situation of af-
fairs as 1 regard it, after considerable NOV
ing about and many talks with many peo-
pie. Here and there one is met who
expresses the view that Mr. Ryon is lead
| ing in tho race, while there are many who
think that Judge Pershing will succeed
himself. How Mr.. Ryon can take any
considerable number of Democratic votes
and leave Judge Pershing anything to
build hope on, is beyond comprehension,
unless the old boast that the Republicans
will rush to his support and leave man
they have every reason to stand by.
| BRUAIM AND REILLY.
| In the Congressional race there is much
activity. Mr.. Brumm is making one of his
old time canvssses, speaking frequently at
meetings and strenuously working a still
! hunt ut the same time. His meeting in
your town this evening is looked forward to,
it is learned, with great expectation. The
opinion is expressed that Relly's action in
not accepting his challenge to take the
stump with him has injured the latter very
materially. The old time Democracy who
always support Reilly no matter what his
1 hCLlbu may Dui cpulA bLAp llSd VI ule Dtluk
injured at all, but it is we'll known that
| Mr.. Brumm's past successes have been won
| by the inrosds he made in the ranks of the
Democratic workingmen and they do not
like Mr.. Reilly's action in not accepting
his opponents challenge and will IN many
parts of the county fly Reilly and go to
/ Brumm if the present member does not
before long take up the challenge.
THE DISTRICT ATToRNEYsHIP.
j. H. James, Esq, won before in a con-
test for District Attorney with the aid ofI
Mr.. Brumm. If Brumm is successful
again you may put it down that James will
win also. James has many elements of
personal strength himself that no candidate
on either ticket possesses. He is not only
very able, but kind and affable at all times
with many OF the talents which men
socially inclined like in an official He has
no vices, large or small, and can at
once be the most lively man at
| gathering of friends while he main
tains the dignity Of a well-read, good law
yer and genial gentleman. AS a general
| favorite no man in Schuylkill county is his
peer. We predict for Mr.. James enough
votes to carry him through. But he has
no mean antagonist in james W. Ryan,
Esq, The latter is also good lawyer and
well-liked. Ho differs greatly from Mr..
james, particularly in his way with the
men most met with in the courts. But he
is quiet, unassuming and cordial and by no
means candidate unworthy Of contesting
against.
He has a large acquaintance and host of
family connections who will all make it
their especially concern to give Jimmy a
good boast 1t will be tidal wave that
will beat, him if beaten at all, added TO the
shortage in the vote under the Baker ballot
law, which is as sure to come as the day of
election is sure to dawn, and in Democratic
counties such as Schuylkill this shortage
will hurt the dominant party more than
ours, This is conceded.
PERSONAL.
If that genial and accomplished gentle
man and speaker, General Hastings, fails
to connect at Shenandoah tonight you will
miss u rich and rare treat. He is one of
the best in the political rostrum.
l note that John A. Sullivan, Esq, of
this town, lawyer and insurance agent, is
in Shenandoah soliciting insurance John
is a hustler and will succeed.
r. IL. Koch, Esq is making an un-
usually good canvass. He understands it
better than any of the others.
Expect to hear one Of Mr.. Brumms best
efforts at your meeting tonight. N.
why weary your throat and patience with
