Special HERALD Correspondence.

Special HERALD correspondence.
PoTTsvuLE, July 2O-From the very
hour that the days of the meeting of the
various conventions were fixed the politi-
cal horoscope became clearer and the
choice of the respective parties on certain
candidates became crystalized For
Congress the choice of the Democratic
party remains still with Reilly 1t has
never been anything else since the King
crowd were routed by defeat of Murtha
p. Quinn for County Chairman and the
election of Louis Stoffregen by the Reilly
faction. Now King is not in it any more
for Congress and some of his closest
friends, notably the Tooles, are Reilly
supporters since little Jack got the
Minersville post Office plum.
BRUSrM IN THE LEAD.
On the Republican side It cannot longer
be doubted nut that old war horse Brumm,
has distanced his competitors. As / all
along stated Major Losch never was prom
inent in this fight and it is pretty near
time he jumped off the Congressional
horse and prepared himself for a legisla-
tive contest before Graham, Kennedy,
Schrink, or some one else, takes his
place on the ticket. Shoener is still a
veryclose second TO Brumm, but unless
he makes q sudden plunge to the front
very soon, he, too, will have mot in it'
pasted in his hat. For more than ten days
past close observance could note how
easily it was for Brumm to jump into the
lead and he has done it with his old time
celebrity and cuteness. Will he stay there?
That's the thing he must look tonow.
COYLE WILL MAKE IT.
Hon. John J. Coyle, of Mahanoy City,
cannot now be beaten for the Republican
nomination for Senator in the 30th dis
trict. He is a hustler who hustles and
the snail pace of Edwards, his townsman
and principal competitor, has never even
amounted to race. 1t may as well be
recorded now, Coyle will make the nomi-
nation he is after and his enemies in his
own party may as well prepare to take
their little medicine After all IL won't
be a nauseous dose to swallow Republi-
cans can very well vote for Coyle, and as
it is a Democratic district which is 10 be
represented those Republicans who don't
want Coyle may reflect on the possibility
of his certain defeat if the Democrats
don't make too great blunder
FRANEY's FIGHT.
regard the Democratic Senatorial con
test in the 3Oth district, as do the friends
of candidate Franey, philOsophically. No
man ever received anything worth having
without the opposition and envy of some
one. If Franey had not been so far ahead
of his principal opponent, Mr. King, NJ
| G. Watson would not have jumped into
| the arena TO help Mr.. King as he did last
| week. Now it should be the more graft
flying on the part of Mr.. Franey to
'swipe" the two of them and more desira-
| ble on the part of the young Democracy
who are at Mr.. Franey's back to see to ii
| chat the victory goes to Mr.. Franey with
more certainty and positiveness. Mr..
| Franey is none the weaker because of Mr.
| Watson's entry into the field What did
| Watson ever do as Senator which should
make him a formidable candidate and
| one to fear at this stage of the contest
when lines have been drawn between
Franey and King and noses have all been
| counted and Franey found to be in the
lead No, in the opinion of your scribe
there is nothing in Mr.. Watson's candi
/ dacy to strike terror to the hearts of the
progressive Democrats in the 30th district
who want to see Mr.. Franey win. On the
contrary, / can see plainly how the Franey
people can turn this impertinent opposi
i ton of Watson's to good account foi
L Franey.
| The Sheriff s contest remains about the
same with Thomas j. Higgins leading OF
the Democratic side and Davis and Scott
neck and neck on the other side.
You may stick pin here. Your favor

Director of the Poor.
So far as the office of Jury Commits
sioner is concerned both parties are still
