PoTTsvuLE, Aug. "a Thursdays re
gatta at Tumbling Run was a big thing |
so far as the crowd was concerned. Out |
side of that it was a failure. The regatta |
was commonplace affair and many |
people expressed disappointment. Fully |
six thousand people were in attendance |
and all the facilities of the electric rail |
way company were taxed to handle the |
TRAFFIC, The hotels and refreshment |
stands did a rushing business. BY next |
year Tumbling Run will be 80 mnch inn ,
proved that it will be the most popular |
resort in the county and the extension of |
the electric road will cause big increase |
in the patronage.
The failure of Rice, the dealer in fancy
notion, fireworks, etc, was great sur
prise and much sympathy is expressed
for Mr.. Rice. He is very popular and the
hope is expressed on all sides that he will
soon recover from the embarrassment.
The green truck business recently
started by Morganroth & Snyder
has been closed by the firm deciding
to 20 out of business. They were
carrying on a good trade, but twice the
amount of business was required to meet
the heavy expenses they were under and
they didn't have the capital to undertake
it.
Advices from all parts of the county in.
dicate that the whole Republican county
| ticket will be elected. The Democratic
| farmers and miners are outspoken in their
determination to vote for another change.
| Two years ago they voted for change
which they were assured would be tor
/ the better, but they were deceived and
will not be hoodwinked again.
Next week the Republican county can.
didates will meet here and select a county
chairman. In this they must be extremely
| cautious, as upon the selection much of
the future welfare of the party depends.
| A good chairman is half the victory. All
| jealousies must be set aside and full con
| tidence must be placed in the head of the
| county committee, who can hardly fulfill
this mission if he knows that he is mis-
| trusted.
OF the names mentioned for County
Chairman those of Losch Davis and
Shoener seem to be the most favorably re
ceived Either would fill the bill. 1t Is
| understood that Mr.. LosCh will only
accept a unanimous appointment and Mr..
| Davis, / believe, stands in the same light
They want an unqualified expression of
confidence. AS to Mr. Shoener, | have
my doubts that he would accept the posi-
tion under any condition.
After the selection of the chairman,
work for the election of the ticket will
begin in earnest A large amount of
perienced heads. ] believe that much of
the quarrelling which LAS taken place in
the ranks can be easily avoided this year,
because there seems to be disposition on
all sides to take advantage of the Demo
cratic dissatisfaction and make clean
sweep. To turn over a new leaf as il
were.
A prominent Democrat from above the
mountain, whose business compels him to
travel over the county, said yesterday
81 believe the whole Republican ticket
I will be elected this year" When asked
if he was considering the senatorship and
the six Representatives, he replied "Ges
% sir; | mean everything. You would be sur
prised if you heard the expressions of the
2 Democratic farmers, many old anC
hide-bound ones, who never voted any but
{ a Democratic ticket at that. They
declare they will not vote that
! way again, or at least until there is
very radical change in the methods of the
, Democratic party They have had theii
eyes opened at the expense of their pocket,
and 1t is with them rs with the most o
8 ihumanity-Wheu YOU touch their DO keti
! you touch their heart-strings and play tn,
1 chords of discomfort as happiness, ac
cOrding to the touch. ! am as sincere al
! / have ever been in anything in my lif
o when l say | believe the Republicans will
d make a clean sweep" The gentleman
- who thus expressed himself has alWay
e ! estly proclaiming the sentiments of other
+ he did not say what he would do himself
l. but that strengthened my confidence IL
y his statement. Had he committed him
$ self against the Democratic ticket nigh
e have been inclined, as many Others Il
e personal feeling and little farsfetChed.
d EX-Cougressman Brumm is the busies
man this side of the mountain He is plan
= ming one of the most effective campaign
OF his life and does not propose To TAX
o any chances. His defeat this year wOul,
n mean his retirement and it would be
! pity TO see such an able man on The bench
as the base ball fraternity puts it. He i
in the prime of life and the country need
men of his calibre. If the Republi
cans get into power by the reversa
of the existing majority and Brumm il
among the winners he will be among tn
foremost men in Congress and will acquir
a distinction that will make him the Ton
Reed of SChuylkill county
The Borough Council failed to act OF
the electric railway ordinances at its las
e meeting. Under a rule of the COuuci
| they must 20 over until the next meeting
and this necessarily causes a postpone
ment of the work OF extension. The op
position has not given up hopes, but /
l. may as well save its money and wind
7 The old company won and will remain ol
r deck.
Z schemers as any place of its size in tn
Il county and the people are becoming dis
s gusted with the numerous raids mad
q upon them by irresponsible agents. Th
d only remedy is for the merchants an,
+ others to patronize legitimate newspapers
Z They are the only channels througI
:. which a return for the money investe
y can be secured.
Minstrel troupe will be either at Hig
