PoTTsvILLE, Aug. 1.-THE Republican
conventions are over, the delegates have
pressed the buttons and the voters at
large must now do the rest. Much has
been said concerning this and that candi-
date, representations have been numer
Gus (the majority being wide of Che mark
and the pyrotechnical vocal displays have
been dazzling, but the delegates have
withstood them all. Most of the predic
tions were undermined by the exposure of
the plans of certain combinations which
went out of business.
regret the defeat of certain candidates
because l know they were worthy men,
| vet | must admit that all the nominees
| on the Republican ticket are also worthy
and will receive the united support of the
party. Some may differ with me on this,
| because have heard it said that one OF
the nominees will fall an easy victim to
the Democratic candidate, but that does
| not alter my opinion. | believe that time
will make the ticket stronger than it is
even to-day.
I supposed at one time that all the
| cuckoos were in the Democratic ranks,
but have learned that in this l was mis-
taken. Not many days since there were
| several loud-mouthed Republicans who
declared they would 90 to Salt Lake
before they would swallow this or that
man, but when other opposition to the
| man they denounced loomed up the loud
mouthed people wilted and swallowed the
medicine nauseous as it was, and were
| the first to desert new friends and again
90 to the rescue of those they had so
! vehemently condemned. But such is the
nature of politics.
| In nominating Hon. Charles n. Brumm,
l Of Minargvilla hiipun
tion adhered to the wishes of the people
/ This was clearly shown by the primaries,
but in saying this | do not wish to be
understood as saying that the other can
didates would not have filled the bill.
Mr.. Losch has been roundly abused, but
D l am convinced he deserved it less than
other Republicans who have been FIRE
Iuuently rewarded in the recent past And
| / Will also say that were the whole truth
known it would perhaps be discovered
/ that Mr.. Losch had excellent reasons for
? kicking. 1t is my firm belief that he is
!, still as true and loyal a Republican as
any in the country, and 1t may be de-
= pended upon that he will be found at the
, front next fall battling for his old enemy,
Brumm, and the whole ticket. ] Will
also predict that it won't be long before
Losch is at the head of the Republican
party in this county again.
o The nomination of Orme, Schriuk and
I Stuck for the Assembly from this dis
a trict over Haring, QuBU Coke and others,
6 was somewhat surprising. CoXe's name
was not mentioned in the convention.
He evidently forgot to get some friend to
shout it at the proper time.
Hon. J. j. Coyle's nomination in the
30th district with so little opposition was
e a surprise to many down this way. 1t was
I expected that there would be an eleventh
d hour astonisher that would doom the eX
k Representative. kantner evidently wa'
2 not as strong as some thought he was
2 The opposition presented a very weak
4 plant from so much quiet gardening
= With so much kicking in Shenandoah
and Mahanoy City outsiders were justified
in indulginR in great expectations.
6 Mr.. COyle's friends must not think that
> gentleman will have a walkover in his
E contest with Mr.. King. The latter gen
tleman has won more than one campaign
and has many influential friends among
the Republicans who will no doubt do
;, turn for him. 1t is true Mr.. Coyle viii
|. receive many Irish-Democratic votes, but
4 he will need great many to make hi
! election certain. Mr.. King is as wiley a.
! he is strong, and the Republicans vii
D have to hustle to elect Mr.. Coyle, and no
e depend upon the latter'5 pull from thu
f other side.
7 There is lively sentiment in favor of
Il change in the method of the Republican
party of this county for nominating can
. didates and the establishment of tht
| Crawford county system. The system
would no doubt meet with popular favor
as it would do away with the election o
delegates and the people could vot
e directly for their choice, 1t would saw
annoyance, chickering's and money ant
Q has long been declared the only fair anC
i safe system in existence.
