Another Richmond is in the field for
State Senator in the person of Shenar-
doah's progressive citizen, Mr.. James j.
Franey. His name rhymes well to
brainy, and that is the kind of man he
is known to be. Report came mere from
Mahanoy City that last Monday, while in
that town, Mr.. Franey announced him
self TO friends as a candidate, in to the
finish, and almost cOntemporaneously
came the intelligence that Ex-senator
King was also out again for the same
thing. kraney is a little ahead, though,
say a neck, and he may be like unto the
Dr. Rice horse in the last Brooklyn handi-
cap, laying low and ready for the jump.
If Mr.. King is in earnest for himself, and
he generally is, look for a good heat in
this contest with Spiese as a probable
favorite like Clifford was at Brooklyn,
but far in the rear,
Mr.. Franey largely interested in the
Columbia brewery as he is, knows more
about politics than he does about beer
He has always been temperate man who
attended to legitimate trade and he never
prided himself on any particular accom-
plishment in discerning different brands
of beer. So it was he was so easily fooled
when joker in Mahanoy City the other
day palmed off kaier's beer on him for his
own Columbia liquid and as he quaffed
few very small ponies and eXtolled the
bNNNAaEN W bllN ShlEht DtlltNlllB tue DdT-
tender to be thorough gentleman who
wouldn't play tricks on travellers, he was
simply and unConsciously exhibiting him
self as an innocent and occasional in
dulger in the frivolities of life, who did
not aspire to be known as an expert on
drinks. He cares more for the substan-
tialitles of success than such minor and
inslpid things as sampling beer.
Mr.. Franey will be a strong candidate
mark ye, if he takes off his coat and rolls
up his sleeves, as he is very apt to do.
SCOTT OR DAVIS, wHCH'
The sudden, untimely and regretful
death of citizen j. M Click, of Girard-
vile, removed a man of uniform good
character and standing from the business
and social world, as it did a very prom
inent candidate for Sheriff Always a
stalwart and earnest Republican, Mr.,
Click would have been a worthy candi-
date to name had he lived, but his death
has turned over the field to Mr.. Alex.
Scott, of Frackville, and Hon. Elias Davis,
of Broad Mountain p. o. 1t will be Scol
and Davis for it now with few varia-
tions in the shape of a few political
pigmies who might as well Withdraw.
How happy the Republican party could
be with either were the other dear
charmer away. Mr.. Scott appreciates
printers ink and its uses and Mr.. Davis
will have to hump himself if he wants to
outdo his antagonist in getting his name
before the people, But then Elias has
been so well known so long that he does
not need, he thinks, cards of such great
variety. He should remember, however, !
that he is kind of job lot printer him |
self and he ought to have a few simple
cards from every printing
office in the county. Variety is the space
Of life you know
sENPER IDEM THOMAS.
While all these changes have taken |
place in the political arena, the genial, .
Democratic, always-the-same Thomas j. |
is saying nothing, but saving
wood. He has distanced the other aspir- |
ants in the race and all he has got to do !
Is to keep up his present very creditahle !
actions and he win carry off the prize in !
-he Democratic convention. With Cant !
we'll and Langton bucking against each
other and McKernan in the wrong locality
10 win, Mr.. Higgins has nothing TO fear
am told Israel Applegate has flown the
track and will not be out, or in it, just as
you please, This will give the Unions to
Higgins and his opponents may as well
know it now,
