Special HERALD correspondence.
PoTTsvtLLE, Dec %.
The Allen Martin "slatc" by which the
Tamaqua man was to get four, perhaps five,
appointments, all from the town Of Tamaqua,
and Mr.. Martin was to have three or four of
his particular friends taken care of, was
shattered Saturday evening by Allen him
self assisted by several Republicans whose
assistance he craved and who assisted him to
the best of their ability in dealing to the
deal its deadly deserts. Mr. Allen came here,
for once, with no followers Big John
Young, the brother n.law and partner of
Dunkleberger who Allen must make Warden
of the Jail or go back on his promises re-
peatedly made, was conspicuous by his
absence, and Attorney Ulrich, who wants to
be County Solicitor, was nowhere to be SEEN
None of the fellows who have heretofore
composed Mr.. Aliens bodyguard were in
town and left to have his own way, unin-
hueuced by doubtful Democrats and designing
spoismen. Mr. Allen sought out company
and advice of representative Republicans
who have only the welfare of the party at
heart and care nothing for the sp1ils Of office
He sought and found good advice and good
backing and the outcome will take shape t o.
morrow when he promises to he amin i'm town
and while still sticking to Dunkleberger will
try and break with Martin and like the Prodi
gal, return home to his own peop G again. A
meeting and understanding with Rent will
likely he efIected and if fine two can come to
an agreement. and il is believed thew can. all
the documents referrinp to tbe Allen Martin
bargain will be DESTROYED and that yerv tired
and ronndIv amused Commissioner.elact from
the town of many strifes will or with the old
love and on with the new.
THE CAUSE OF TT ALI
Mr.. Allen has been sorelv cepsured for his
action in eptering into a deal with fine
Democratic minority man of the new Board
of Commissioners and he has about come TO
the conclusion that he had bfttar he dead
than trv and i've in peace in his new Office
with the disgrace of tbi. disreputable deal
hangipg like q miIl-sto around his neck.
lie has about concluded that this question in
NV last letter was worth considering. viz
4 n
taynarers before he has taken the oath of
otHceg" Tho tratb is Mr. Allen. since he
agreed with Marlin. 10 be- treacbergus. has
had taste of the tormepts of beII-tbat hell
which wolId be his dfreful fate if bepersieted
in being upflithfuI TO his party and friends.
He has also found ont that johnny Martin
didn't tell him the frutb when he said the
pending criminal eases AGAINST Clerk Phil.
Connell were wiped out. He has discovered
that it was asking too much for the appoint
ment of so many Tamaoua men, one of whom
was a Democratic LAWYER, IL has been proven
to him that in this fight of Tanaoua against
the rest Of SchuvlziU county. the turbulent
town of the Tuscaror,- must surely be down.
ed. and above all he found out that he had
committsda a grave error, and away from the
poisonous influence of that truly Democratic
twain-Yonng and UIrich-be had the nerve
to be man again. and undo the wrong com.
mitted before it was too late to be saved
That accounts for the crack in the slate.
STUPIDITY RAMPANT.
! While awaiting the result of tomorrow S
caucuses in the deal matter, other more
! importapt matters will demand the attention
of the Commissioners elect. They will be
asked TO get down to honest work and make
ready for Controller. However distssteful
this new office NAV be to them, they will be
made to look the law sauarely in the face.
Most people are naturally stupid but the
dullest ass is the fellow who wont learn when
the golden opportunity is given hia. All
the sense some people get is knocked into
their thick skulls with a sledge banner OF
