A GLORIOUS DEMOCRACY


ana are Happy Again" MutehIor Gets
the ConfsreeS,
Peace, gentle, quiet peace once more
controls, moves and governs the un-
terrified Democracy in Carbon county.
For almost or quite three long years
the party had been rscksd by discord |
and dissension and it looked very mnch |
as if the permansncy OF Democracy
In this county was a thing of the past.
The deaths of the late Hon. VIM.
Mutehler and Of Samuel S. Dreher
brought about complication of events
tnst still further threatened the party
interests. 10 try to open up way
for the adjustment of the difficulties
aud to bring about long and much
desired peace meeting was held at
The County Seat ON last Friday,
Joseph s. Fisher, Esq, was chairman,
aud IL. s. Rinker, was secretary. This
meeting did no hsrm--even if it did
40 good. The situation was talked
over in an earnest waV and finally DR.,
Latham, of Weatherly, moved that it
he the sense of the meeting that Hon.
Allen Craig be sndoIs sed for Judge and
that Michael Cassidy be given Csrbon's
three conferees for Congress. The
motion was "red flag" and was finally
withdrawn and the meeting adjourned
without apparently accomplishing
any good, though perhaps it is safe to
say that the proposition then made by
L. Ii. Barber, Esq, of Mauch Chunk,
III behalf Of the Esser people gave way
to much thinking and ultimately
brought about the desired re-union.
This proposition was that the en-
grOssional conferees be divided be-
tween ShArkey and Cassidy, that the
delegate election officers, county com
mittee and state delegates be divided
evenly throughout the county. At
any rate when the regular annual
county meeting was called TO order
Monday afternoon by the county
chairman, the court room in the Valley
building at Mauch Chunk, was jsmbed
full Of people, nine out of every ten
of whom expected to witness a repeti-
tion of past disgraceful occurrences.
But the leaders had compromised
and the character of the peoples party
not again to be dragged to the dust
and trampled upon. Generous con
cessions were made on both sides for
the people called loudly for peace and
harmony, and the will Of the people
prevailed.
1t seemed like old time Democracy
with discord and factional feeling
buried. That invinsible, staunch and
vigorous Democrat, Lee Stiles, OF
Packerton, named Michael Cassidy, for
chairman, and he was elected without
opposition. Mr.. Cassidy took the chair
nd expressed himself as fully pleased
with the reunited party and hoped
that it meant a continuance of Demo
cratic victories in the future.
