Special HERALD correspondence.
POTTsvILLE, July 19-Brumm's vigor-
ous fight for the Congressional nomination
has added new life to the contest and as
Hon. 5. A. Losch has not been seen
around here for several days past it is pre-
sumed he has been getting in his work in
new pastures. am certain Sammy has
not taken to the woods he is not of that
kind
Shoeuers form is seen almost daily on
Centre street and from this | have come
to the conclusion that he has finished his
tour and is now content to lie on his oars
and await results.
The legislative fight is getting still
more interesting and a number of new
candidates have appeared this week
There will be many disappointments and
| hope those who get left will swallow
their defeat gracefully.
The many friends of Controller Severn
are sorry he has been obliged to walk the
chalk by order of the Supreme Court He
made very conscientious official and in
the social circles of this city he became
very popular. 1t is the opinion of many
that very graceful act would be the
unanimous nomination of Mr.. Severn for
the Legislature in the First district.
Lawyer Wilhelm has received credit for
llt ItSulb Vi lllt tbuht6b DtltEt but
supreme Court. He carries the honor
meekly.
The fight for Sheriff seems to be over
shadowing everything else just now.
Davis still claims to be away ahead and
sure of the nomination. Mr.. Scott was
here on Monday shaking hands with
everybody. He, too, feels confident of
winning and If he doesn't say so his
friends do.
DR.. Sallade is leaving no stones un-
turned to secure the Democratic nomina-
tion for this Office and feels as certain Of
it as if it was already made. Higgins, of
Shenandoah, comes down almost every
day, en- route for some of the farming dis
tricts and from appearances one is obliged
to concede that everything favors him.
But Frank p. Spiese is not dead, but
sleeping: and he is willing to accept the
nomination for Sheriff on the Democratic
ticket, and it need not be surprising for
one to learn that his friends have been
working quietly and successfully for him
in that direction. Frank should try and
bag better game than this. Those who
expected better things from him are dis
appointed.
Hon. Malachi c. watson's candidacy
for the Senatorship in the 30th district
has caused the chills to run down the
backs of Franey's friends Malachi owes
Franey "a grudge for assisting in knocking
him out four years ago and he intends to
get even, no matter at what cost Elk
Senator Watson is in the fight to stay and
his German friends this side of the noun
tain, who are legion, will stand by him
this time.
Graham, the china dealer of this city, is
the latest candidate for the Legislature
in this district. The Republicans have
enough good material on hand to enable
them to make up winning ticket with
out the slightest trouble.
The friends of ex-senator King, who
are quite numerous down this way, feel
confident that their favOrte will win.
There is a great electric railway scheme
on foot here. The Schuylllill Electric
Railway Company wants rights of way
which will enable it to extend it's lines
through more populous sections of the
city and abandon places where the grades
are not desirable If the rights are
granted it will revolutionize the system
and greatly enlarge and improve It,
In my opinion the Republicans in this
district will make a mistake if they do
not nominate as one of their candidates
for the Legislature, DR.. Coke, of Schuyl
kill Haven. He is worthy of their conf
dence and am sure will make one of the
best representatives ever sent to Harris
burg from this district. With VIII e
Haring, of Palo Alto, and some other
worthy gentleman on it, the ticket would
be very strong one.
