ELECTION REFLECTIONS.


comments ON Tuesdhy's Display Of the
Peoples Wrath
When properly interpreted the result Of
Tuesdays election means, Don't monkey
with the tariff"
The walls of Schuylkill county's Tam
many Hall shook to their very foundations.
The Democrats Of schuylkill county must
now realize that nothing is certain even for
them in politics.
David B. Hill can very properly say now
81 am a (defeated) Democrat"
Where was Kirk when his light went out ?
We have thus far failed to hear any of our
Democratic friends make any remark about
the present condition of the weather. I'M
mediatey after the close of last falls election
they had much to say about snow.
A First warder worked for long time on
Tuesday trying to convince young man no
met in the Third ward that Bierstein was no
good and it would be worse than crime to
vote for Pole. The bysauders enjoyed the
scene immensely, as the young man, who
patiently and good -uauredly received tho
lecture, was none other than Bierstein, whom
the First warder had mistaken for a German.
And even the Fifth ward gave Republican
msjorities. "Whooda thunk it?"
The German Democrats had their little say
on Tuesday in town, aud they don't try to
deny it,
There is still much marveiug over Fol-
mer's defeat Few men in his party had any
idea that DR.. Dechert would develop such
strength
There is no smile on the face of the local
Democrat who build his hopes ON the straight
ticket 1t is too chilly to smile.
Frank Chew Osburn was the name of tho
Democratic candidate for State Treasurer.
He was defeated because the people didn't
care for a chew.
Some very funny errors were discovered by
the Judges of Election and many Of them
were really occasioned by too strict com.
pliance with the intructions on the ballots.
For instance voter ran his eye down the
list of candidates until he came to the space
enclosing County Auditors Mark two"
The voter marked the figure SO" in the space
and in the count the ballot was rejected.
Many who are friends of Controller elect
! Severn will be pleased to hear that the re
port circulated at the eleventh hour before
| the election to the effect that certain p x K.
officials would work against him, because he
had hand in the company store fight in
town some time ago. did not hold water. The
correspondent who furnished the report has
stated that he was misled and he found by
many acts in connection with the election
that it was a false prediction. No such fight
was made and from the statements made by
the correspondent it is only fair to state that
nothing of the kind was contemplated.
George Folmer, the defeated Democratic
candidate, has a number Of Republican
friends, and he can ruthfully attribute his
defeat to treachery in his own party
Bierstein received the full r publican vote
in this town
A change is badly needed i'm the personnel
of several of the election boards
Thomas Van Duseu win retire from Coun-
cimauic honors this spring and several
aspirants have been announced for the re
nomination on the Citizens ticket
That was bad Democratic s,umpiu North
umberlaud couuy-it having gone Repub
lican by a large majority.
If our townsman, George Folmer, was not
elected County Treasurer, through compli-
mentary votes of his neighbors, he must put
the blame ON his own party, Hundreds Of
Republicans in town voted for him.
! The Polish and Lithuanian voters are not
discouraged. They will be better organized
in the spring Our Democratic brethren had
better not underestimate their intentions or
their strength.
Charley Aliens big complimentary vote in
the staid old borough of Tamaqua should
make him feel proud.
Dr. Dechert, who was only Figure head, p"
mot in it," etc, as the Chronicle tried to
make its readers believe was really the
strongest man ON the Republican ticket, be-
cause he had one of the most formidable op-
ponents.
If our friend Doyle, Of the Nsigs, is not
elected County Auditor it was not his fault.
He made a gallant fight and the board will
be the loser He is an auditor that can
audit
AS Lincoln said. 'You can't fool all the
people all the time"
Mckinley graduated quite class from his
campaign of education, after all.
1t seems that there were people who hadn't
had quite enough of a change.
