d. B. Green's death and temporarily filled by
appointment by the Governor of Hon. Mason
Weidman. So far as legal learning and at
tainments are concerned both of these gem
tlemen are capable of filling that position and
Mr. Seltzer claims better right to the pre-
ferment by his party because of whole gem
erations labor performed so willingly and
without compensation for his party. If Mr.
Lyon has any counter claims other than his
attainments which are conceded, the little
sparrows have failed to inform your cores
pondent what they are. Yet either of these
gentlemen would make an acceptable can
didate of the party and the only question for
the coming Republican convention to find out
is: which would be the strongest candidate
on the ticket to draw votes from the domi.
nant party, the other party's convention
having previously named its man?
MR.. R. H. KoCH's POSITION.
Leaving that question to be decided by the
convention when it conyenes, am con-
strained to look little into position occu-
pied at present by the last nominee of the
Koch who made a gallant fight last year and
was a standard bearer, who, though defeated
by recreant Republican voters, came into the
campaign with greater personal popularity
than he ever had. His position might be put
in these few lines
He's watching and awaiting,
While the Others are aDaiting
For the whale;
But he'll soon take up his line
And cast IL out 50 fine
AS to get the tsh, head and tail.
Better illustrated, perhaps, would be Mr..
Koch's position by a recital of the following
fable:
Two vOracious and ambitious lions from
the jungles of Africa followed the footsteps of
a certain Professor Dick who armed with
only sun glass, perambulated the country
in search of knowledge. To avoid being
chawed up the Professor climbed tree un
der which the lions, who we will name Bill
Lion and Tom Lyon, took a snooze after futile
efforts to coax Professor Dick to come down
and be done up, Taking in the situation
Prof Dick swung his sun glass and got first a
focus on Bill Lions tail, setting it on fire
tail he had soon dehagrated that appendage
and Tom woke up with sudden pain and
looked at Bill in rage. Bill blamed Tom and
Tom blamed Bill for each others disaster and
they set to and chawed each other to death
then Prof Dick slid down from his perch,
skinned them both and carried their hides to
his boarding joint in triumph.
Apply this little story to the situation and
keep your eye on the professor when he comes
home to dinner.
IN THE ENEMY's CAMP.
The contest in the other party is progress
ing pretty WELL thank ye, considerin' the hot
weather. Judge Weidman's friends, encour-
aged by the reports of the candidates for other
offices that their delegates will be asked to
head the ticket wi Woidman as the sure
winner in the race regarding it suicidal to
put one ON the ticket who was once beaten
for the same Office, are taking the situation
quietly and coolly, while Mr.. Wadlinger and
his ieutenants are working like beavers to
build dam which is intended to stop the
flood of delegates in the direction Of his op-
ponents camp Build it as high and as strong
as he may, some Of the fish are likely to get
through the wickets or jump over the en-
bankment and swim into the Weidman
stream. Yet Mr.. Wadlinger may win the
nomination. He is working against big odds,
is said to have lost his biggest working officer
Senator King, who though friendl ly prefers to
keep out of the fight, a I'd yet he may get the
nomination. 1t all depends ON the enthusi-
asm he can create when the boys come to
town on the Both. Many delegates will be
elected for him who wll be Weidman when
they get here and many will come here for
Weidman who can be persuaded to be for
Wadlinger if the right man sees them. With
out two or three good lieutenants who will
put in the fine lace work at the proper mo.
ment Mr. Wadlinger's name is Dennis
HENRY OF NAVARRO.
The bold, iashing and popular Henry of
Navarro of this campaign is Harry Muldoon,
the solid man,
Mr. Muldoon will not be too soon
II be is here by noon,
Anu his delegates Will follow
On sunday afternoon.
The handsome Knight Harry entered the
lists for Treasurer last spring, His leading
opponents for the same nomination are
George Folmer sr, of your big town, and
Michael Duffy, Of Minersville, both good men.
There Is another aspirant- an aspirant-
