L. +. Hughes and Galusha A. Grow. A. j.
Colborn, of this city, has been urgently in-
vited by David Martin and Others to form
one Of the number, and il permitted by
his physician may accept.
Colonel Samuel w. Boyd, Of Wilkes
Barre, is inclined to augment rather than
abate his ire at Collector Grant Herring.
'We have no sympathy" the colonel
writes, with any Democratic officeholder
holding his position at the hands Of his
party who prefers to keep Republicans
under him rather than worthy Democrats.
Herring would have been one OF the most
aggressive kickers had Cleveland kept
Penman in the place he now occupies.
That being so, he cannot feel Rggrieved
because he is criticised by Democrats for
not doing what Cleveland did, kick the
Republicans out. He owes his place to De-
mocracy, and is justly bound to have
Democrats in places under him." Who
would have suspected the chivalric and
amiable colonel could be SO cruel to his
party's plank on civil service reformP
A systematic plan is being pursued by
independent Republicans of Indiana coun-
ty to defeat Judge Harry White for re-
election. Petitions are being circulated in
nearly every town in the Twenty-first
Congressional district seeking indepen-
dent Republican signers and endorsing d.
B. Heiner, candidate for congress In this
district, and the Republican state candi-
date. The object is to place ex.Judge
Blair's name on the nomination papers
and with the strength the state candidates
will lend the movement the Indiana inde-
pendents hope to defeat the regular Re
publican nominee, Judge White. The
carriers of the petitions argue that should
Judge Blair be elected Indiana county will
be given liquor license. Hundreds Of sign
ers hav been obtained.
The Harrisburg Patriot has evidently
been misinformed when it says: "Michael j.
Burke, Of Carbondale, has been renomina-
ted by the Democrats Of the Fourth Lack.
awanna legislative district. His opponent
is Charles p. O'Malley, young Republi-
can lawyer, who also claims to be conf
dent Of election. AS the district has
normal Democratic majority Of 500 and
Mr.. Burke has carried 1t twice, OMalley's
claims are disputed by the most sanguine
Republicans" Mr.. O'Malley's claims are
not only not disputed by the most san.
gune Republicans; they are conceded in
many cases. by Democrats themselves.
The people Of the Fourth district do not
want representative at Harrisburg who
was opposed to free text books.
Reports to the National Republican
campaign committee from the Seventeenth
district now represented by MIR. Wolver-
ton. and in which ex-Congressman Buck
alew is a candidate are OF tue most en-
couraging character. The unpopularity

leved will overturn the 6, 900 majority by
which Mr.. Wolverton was elected in 1892,
and land Monroe H. Kulp winner with
votes to spare. Free wool and free lum-

the timber owners OF the Serent zenith.
