can party, who, building upon the recent
success of their party in the last campaign,
believe that that success will be continued
next year and consequently are pluming
themselves for contest, which they hope
will be successful in landing them in the
offices to be voted for in 1894, The most
prominent among these people may be men.
toned our fellow townsman, Mr.. William II.
McQuail, the West Virginia coal operator
Having become a rich miner, and like unto
the silver bonanza kings of the West he
aspiros to shine in the halls of Congress-
William is good fellow, social compan
ion a kind and indulgent father and house
holder, but there is not much danger that he
will be the nominee of the Republican party
next year, because already plans are being
laid to send one of the brightest legal lights
of the Bar to Washington, if the thing can
be accomplished by the defeat of the Demo-
cratic nominee as easily and as surely as the
majority of the Republican ticket was elected
this year.
On the other side of the house we hear
that Hon. James b. Reilly will not again
enter the field for Congress. He will grace.
fully retire at the close of his term and take
up the thread of his legal practice where he
let 90 of it q few years ago, leaving the fight
for Congressional hOnOrs to be made by
Senator Bryan Monaghan, of your town, and
ex-senator King, of AIahauoy City.
Following close upon the heels of this
political gossip comes the intelligence that
John A. Reilly, Esq, also of your town, will
aspire to succeed Senator Monaghan in the
Thirtieth Senatorial District Mr. ReiIly's
nomination will be sure if he makes the
fight, but many Of his friends fear that he
will change his mind before the time comes.
1 am in position to know that Mr. Reilly
means to make the effort the supreme one of
his life, and it is expected that the Demo-
cratic convention of the Thirtieth district will
give him nomination by acclamation. If
Mr.. Reilly goes in to win, having come out so
early and with his legion Of friends, he will
lead in the race from the start, and the
nomination will be his. He is a thoroughly
competent man for the position and a con-
sstent and party flowing Democrat and it
will take the strongest representative Of the
Republican party that can be found to make
any inroads into the large Democratic
majority at his back
The report of the cases prosecuted by John
Broenoeski against John and James Higgins
and Thomas Boland, as published in your
edition of Monday last, is pretty generally
correct, so far as it goes, but it doesn't go far
| enough.
The story as published is like the play Of
Hamlet" when Hamlet is left out. 1t
should be known and appreciated by your
readers that John BroenOeski only arrived
in this country, and in Shenandoah, on the
14th Of last March. He had only been four
months in this country when he was so
roughly handled by the constable and his as
sistsnts and $500 gouged outof him for taxes
| for 1892 which he could not have owed, not
having been even resident of this county
until March of this year. That fact was
proven by the prosecutor himself and sub
stantiated by two other witnesses, and should
have gone in published account Of the case.
In justice to the Polander, l now make it
part of this letter. This poor greenhorn had
| just as much right to be protected by our
institutions as any other man in this country,
be his nationality what it may. N.
