Special HERALD correspondence.
PoTTsvILLE, June 23.-A prominent can
didate for Congress complains that all
other contests are overshadowed north of
the mountain by the 3Oth district Sena-
torial fight. This person told your scribe
last Monday that he could get no salts
faction from the politicians during a
recent visit to Shenandoah, Mahanoy City
and other towns and little else did he
hear but talk about Squire Coyle and the
possibility of beating him with another
| from Mahanoy City. You wouldn't
| such an important office as Congressional
representative was to be filed this year,
| to near them shout over the Senatorial
candidate"
If such was that candidates experience,
who is no less a parsonage than Hon. 5.
A. LOsch, always noted for the faculty of
! finding out whatever i going on, what
must be the experience of others in their
peregrinations Yet it must be accepted
as a fact all other contests sink into utter
| insignihcance contrasted with the Sena-
torial fight and it arises from no other
cause than the prospective great battle on
hand and the
POSITIVE PROMINENCE
of the men who are to be the combatants.
Little is heard here now of Elk Senator
Kings movements, and except that he is
engaged in the stillest kind of a still
hunt he is mot in it" at all AS to his
competitor, and most probable successful
candidate, j. j. Franey, his name is in
every ones mouth During court week,
which always brings prominent people
here, his name and chances have been
canvassed constantly and if that is not

Nothing succeeds like success they say,
/ and from the time Franey's name was

tricts that once were strOngholds for King
and his friends, it was found that the
people wanted Franey and would listen to
the claims of no one else. From this point
of view, and all positive information
centers in the county seat / regard the
outcome of the two conventions as sure
for Franey on the Democratic side and
Coyle on the Republican so that who
ever is elected, his name will commences
with the same two winning letters, j. j.
There is, l am informed,
A SURPRISE IN STORE
for us all to be flashed on us in very
short time. What it is ard where from il
emanates, if | know it correctly, it is not
mine to divulge at present, but it refers
TO the Sheriff s Office candidacy of some
one not yet in the field, whose coming will
not be trumpet-tongued or loud but will
bring terror, all, the same, to the several
ones who claim TO be ahead and on top in
the race just at present.
Speaking of this Office to one who is
away up in political wisdom there came
the information that Frank p. Spiese's
tiuundering in the mire of innocuous
Is.at, 40, 20 n .
Cleveland's terms, has reduced him to
the ranks in the army of office aspirants.
He has now no command as neither
man, mouse or long-tailed rat. 1t should
teach him, and all other 1Ounderers, that
when they get stuck on an Office they
should go for it and not become wan
derers and graspers after too many. |
regard Spiese as neither a possibility as
Senator or possibility as Sheriff.
THE ALLEN CASE
The political persecution of Commis-
sioner Allen, which eliminated in the
trial now going on in the Quarter Sessions
is becoming ranker and ranker as the
trial proceeds. Whether guilty or not of
the charges of which he is indicted there
seems to be a strong feeling amongst the
people in his favor and against his convic-
tion on the testimony of heelers unworthy
of belief. predict that Mr. Allen will
be acquitted, And if he is acquitted will
it not retire some people who have high
aspirations to private life Most likely
we shall hear very little of some men who
only a few short months ago took the
great credit upon themselves of be-
ing great Warwicks, and very likely
there wont be so much laughing in Shaef-
erstown as there once was. The ac-
quittal of Allen will make him popular
official He will be regarded as a man
who had the nerve to do and dare. Our
people are great hero worshipers, and Mr..
Allen will be a hero If jury of his coun-
trymen say mot guilty" to Clerk Short
all's query to-day or Monday. n.
