PoTTsvILLE, Oct. 15.-My letter in the
HERALD of the 18th inst. seems to have
stirred up a hornets nest in some circles
among the Republicans, and in others
find many Republicans who unqualifiedly
endorse my sentiments and who consider
what suggested the proper thing to be
done under existing circumstances. My
object in writing as l did was to stiffen
the backbones of some who | know are
among the most loyal Republicans in the
county, and none have viewed the indif-
ference among them with more pain
than l have.
The time which must elapse before the
election is very short, but a great deal of
good work can be done and victory
snatched from the jaws of defeat. Let
the men who are holding back be seen
and given to understand that they should
come out and show their colors; that it is
essential to rescue the government from
the hands of the present wreckers and
their foreign allies. No American can
afford to let this opportunity slip, as it
means much for the next Presidency.
The claim of the indifferent ones that
they have as much right to bolt the ticket
now as some men now running had years
ago when they bolted and fought superior
men on the ticket, is an argument which
is not worthy of consideration. 1t is the
welfare of the party and the people that
should be looked to. The hatchet should
be buried, and buried deep. Too much
time has been wasted in slamming doors
in the faces Of those who have not been
inclined to think as others. There should
have been fair end open understanding
with the leaders of the different factions
two months ago. If this had been done l
would not have felt inclined to express
the sentiments did in my last letter.
Let me say one thing. If there is one
faction of the Republican party in this
county which thinks it can get along
without the assistance of any of the others,
let that hopeful faction sit down and
think awhile. Think over the experiences
of the past and find the lesson. Then let
them think over the situation of to. day.
Where are Whitehouse, Losch, Koch,
Seltzer and other brilliant lights of the
party No one disputes their shrewdRess
as politicians or their ability to help win
a campaign, but where are they to day
Where have they been thus far in the
campaign
/ say again that danger turks in the air
The mt \ who are sulking must be seer
and urgNd to fall in line with the process
sion. More than this, they must be urged
with diplomacy, not threatened or bull
dozed. You can take any one Of the mer
have mentioned and find that his fol
lowing is worth hundreds of votes. KeeI
your eyes open for " jos in the Republi
can party. Every rote you get among
the Democratic voters is a vote gained
but don't build on the promises Of such
votess They are tickle.
The smocratic greatest-show-on-eart
with Free Trade Singerly, has opened OF
its second week of touring, but will no
pitch its tents in Schuylkill until the weel
after next. On Tuesday, October 30th, tn
great adviser of tariff jugglers will Civ
day receptions at this place, Tamaqua
MahAnoy City and Shamokin, and on tn
L hANA u bAN ooLAC hoJ L4ASSbihkb Will -
held in Reading, Pottsville and Shenan
doah. The date has been fixed as close a
possible to election day in pursuance of
desperate effort to carry the miners b.
storm. Mr.. Singerly will not attempt Il
speak for himself. He has already con
ceded Hastings election by a big majority
His aggregation of talent is on the roat
only to save as many Congressman as pos
sible. The party travels on a special train
Business is very dull here at present
The courts are closed and the visitors from
Shenandoah and other points north of tn
mountain are very few. Shenandoah is
great help to this place; even the news
paper men complain of times being slov
when the courts close. The Shenandoah
cases put lots of grit into their mill.
In a copy of the Sunday News picket
up this morning l noticed that the edito
expresses some anxiety as to how tn
letter carriers win vote at the coming
election, since they are all Republicans
l suppose he has special reference to tn
shenandoah force, but he doesn't say &c
am not acquainted with the force O
your town, but venture l can tell hoy
they Will vote; but wouldn't undertak
to say what Editor Doyle will do, althoug
have known him for years.
