PoTTsvILLB, Feb. 49, General Joshua A,
sigfried is the latest mentioned candidate for
Congress on the Republican side, and it is said
Hon s. A. Losch is sponsor
Hon. Charles n. Brumm has at last an
nounced his intention of entering the ranks
of the expectant ones for his old seat at the
National Capital. 1t is too early to predict
what effect this announcement will have upon
the rank and file of the Republican party
There can be no question that Brumm is the
brsiniest man yet announced.
More interest is taken among the Repub
lican leaders and workers here in the Thr
tieth Senatorial district election than was at
first supposed Whoever undertakes to carry
the district will have a big job on hand. OF
all the names mentioned none seems to meet
with more favor than that of MsiOr John f
Finney, of Shenandoah, snd l have heard
many say that if any Republican in the dis
triCt can win, he can.
Seth Orne, the st. Clair postmaster, is
making a warm canvass for the Legislature in
this district / would not be surprised to see
him one OF the three nominees.
Itis more than likely that this will he the
last year for the election of three members
of the Assembly for the Fourth district as it
hasn't a sufficient number of inhabitants,
according TO the last census, for three repre-
sentatives.
At the same time time l may say it is not
generally known that the First representa-.
tive district is entitled to two members in
stead Of one.
OF course the people Of the Fourth dis.
trict won't like it, but one of the first acts Of
| the next Legislature will he the passage Of a
| new appointment bill which General Hast
| ings, as Governor, will sign. Under this ap
| portiOnmeut Schuylkill county will have but
one Senatorial district, and as Senator Keefer's
| term will he the first expiring his district v i'll
| be abolished.
Should Judge Pershiug resign, an event
| " hich is expected, Congressman Reilly will
not be a candidate for lie election to Con-
gress next fall, but will cast his lines for cleo
| ton AS successor To Judge Pershing. None Of
| the many other Democrats who have for
years cherished the hope of stepping into Mr.
Reilly's shoes have the hardihood to oppose
him for the Congressional nomination, or o
stand up and be knocked down by the work
ingmen the Democratic party has So grossly
deceived, so Mr.. Reilly has the call
1t has been intimated t6aJ ex-District At.
| tOrney Koch would be strong candidate for
| Congress aud would make his mark there
| should he be fortunate enough TO secure elec
| tion, With so many able men available the
| Republicans will have no difficulty in select
ing the right man to battle for Republican
| principles. Shoener Brumm, Koch, LOsch
and Wilheln--take your Choce.
Alex. Scott, Of FraCkville, who wanted
| to be County Treasur or last fall, but for some
unknown reason failed to step up to the
scratch, has expressed willingness to be a
candidate for Sheriff. Mr.. Scott has many
warm friends and is an excellent gentleman,
but fear he will take water as the time for
| action approaches. The early birds, Davis
| and Reed, have been around fixing up fencGl
} and at last accounts Davis seemed to be so far
ahead as to make il very doubtful that he
can be locked out.
