Union County Politics.

Hon. b. X. Focht. editor of the
Lewisburg .SatNrtiay Ne,cs was on
Saturday nominated for reelection
as Assemblyman from Union county.
Bro. Focht made many n gallant
fight for important measures before
the last Legislature in the interest
of his constituents. Our Brother
richly deserves the compliment from
the Republicans of Union county
and they show their good judgment
in maintaining au able leader and an
ardent advocate for good govern
ment. David Gross was nominated
for Sheriff. This is remarkable
victory considering that eight can
didates were eager for the position.
They endorsed, Hastings, Robinson,
Stewart, Mylin and Mahon.
1t is with sincere regret that we
learn of the resignation of Rev. 1. p.
Neff az tor Of the Lutheran
v.-.h. He is "a forcible speaker and
ideal christian gentleman whose sole
interests are identical with the
Lords.
The work on the new executive and
Library building is progressing sat
isfactorily and the Board of Public
Buildings aud Grounds fully expect
to have it ready for occupancy on the
first of January. At the present
rate of progress it may be finished
before that time, the mild winter
having given the contractor an un-
expected advantage. Auditor Gen
eral Gregg said to-day that it would
be finished within the time fixed by
the appropriation.
A PERRY County BANK AssIGNs.-
On Monday morning William A.
Sponsler, prominent member of
the Perry County bar and president
of the Perry County Bank of Spon-
sler, Junkin and Co., made au as
signment to EX-Judge Charles A.
Barnett for the benefit of creditors.
Later in the day Ex-Judge Junkin
assigned to John III. Shelby and this
was followed by an assignment of
the bank to Lawyers Smiley and
Seibert. No statement of the liabil-
lities or assets have been made.
Congressman Jack Robinson, of
Deleware county, won n decided vic
tory over Senator Walter Lyon at
the Blair county Republican prim-
aries, and he pocketed the four State
delegates. As there was no opposit-
ion to General Hastings for Cover
nor, the chief fight conferred in the
battle for Lieutenant Governor,
and the local
offices. Grow carried the county for
Congressman-at-Lar and it is be-
lieved eX-Congressman Huff also
won.
The prediction is freely made that
the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress in the Berks- -Lehigh district |
will come from Berks this year, not
withstanding that under an agree
ment between the two counties the |
Democrats of Lehigh should have
another term. Congressman Erd- |
man, of Allentown, is serving his
first term, and naturally expects a
second, but there is now very'gen-
eral belief that the Democrats of
Berks, which is the larger of the
two counties, will insist that thew
shall name the candidates this wear
Several Berks Democrats are itching
to go to Washington, and it is be-
lieved from the developments of the
past few day sthat the determination
is fixed to freeze out little Lehigh
and name Berks man.
