Special HERALD correspondence.
PoTTsvILLE, April "A political ap- |
pointment, like kissing, goes by favors, |
and we are not surprised that most of the |
citizens of this county who have been |
chosen and honored by this and that
lucrative political berth are those who |
have earned the same by some work done
in the past for the party or parties who
bestowed the favors. Like Familiarity
breeds contempt" personality is often
unkind, if not generally vulgar. There.
fore l will not attempt to call over the
list of those who have been so fortunate
as to bask in the sunshine of the smiles of
Congressman Reilly and the greater and
nearer powers to the appointing throne.
But this | will say, though it may
be looked upon as bad form, that
AS in childhood's hour so in man
| hood's day twas ever thus" The ruling
passion to always grease n fat hogs rump
| is still prevailing and none know it better
| than those who are left out and who see
| "their fondest hopes decay" while the
| more favored ones with longer poles knock
and pocket the political persimmon.
TWO CASES In POINT.
| For instance, note the howls and growls
| of that large army of deferred and disap-
| pointed Democrats who are only pegs for
holes which do not exist over the recent
late appointments, notable that of Hon.
| :. c. Kirk to the position of Deputy
Collector at the Port of Philadelphia. or
| Mr.. Kirk it must be said his is IA deserv-
ing appointment and he is well fitted for
his fat take but if he should die, which
we trust he may not for over three score
years and ten, could there not be found
among Mr. Reilly's friends and followers
bakers dozen of just as deserving men,
any one of whom would fill the bill as
well as Mr.. Kirk And men, too, who
have never been rewarded for as good
work done for their party and party
friends as Mr.. Kirk ever reformed.
And now the many faithful of the
: unterrihed are regaled with the an
nouncement that Mr.. Louis StOtfregen is
to receive the Pottsville posto'lice plum
, as soon as the proper time arrives to name
lpointee of President Harrison by the
grace of the late George W. Childs OF
Mr.. Stoffregen | have not the slightest
personal criticism to suggest, but he is
not the only one who could be selected to
, appease the German ClamOr for recoEni-
ton, and it is well known that there are
hundreds of Mr.. Stotlregen's nationality
Z as well fitted and more deserving than he
to become the postmaster at the county
seat. Mr.. Reilly should remember that
: Mr.. StOtfregen is not in need of any ollice
He has been twice the incumbent of very
lucrative county offices, is well heeled be
, sides with the world goods, and living, a.
= he does, on an honestly earned fortune
can well afford to be permitted to work
| for time for political glory as county
s chairman while some other citizen, jus
as deserving and just as capable, nigh
:, have the grease bestowed on him which
it is said Mr.. Reilly has in store for Mr.
% Stoffregen, in order that some of the Con
. | gressman's fences may be repaired per
l manently and effectively. Methinks
z hear vociferOus amen echoed from tn
l. Flowery Field to the site of the new hote
on Sharp mountain in response to thi
J, sentiment.
l. WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT
The latest name your scribe has hear
for an Office to be be filed this fall is a

a sonage than Daniel Shepp, Esq, of Tam5
