One of our local democratic politicians
is credited with having undertaken a
herculean task, to wit. Going the
rounds among the leaders of the differ
ent factions, trying to pour oil on the
troubled waters to unite the same in one
solid body preparatory to the coming
presidential campaign and concentrate
the entire strength to support Attorney
| o. H. D. Fowler for the office of judge
of probate, and to work together on
other local offices. Judging from the
election reports from other states the
services of such a PATRIOTS democratic
|
Maryland, Kentucky, New Jersey and
other democratic strongholds. At the
| present time the political aspect here
is rather clouded regarding the coming
borough election, and very few candi-
| dates for the position of warden have
| been brought forward. The democrats
| have called caucus to nominate
| borough ticket, but as yet no republican
caucus has been called, and it is doubt
| full if any will be called, as many of the
prominent members of bottle political
| parties are in favor Of nominating, as
| in past years, a citizens ticket and
| placing on the same reliable and trust
worthy citizens irrespective of party.
| H. f. Hall is, as usual, in the field for
the berth of warden on the democratic
/ ticket, but is credited with the state
ment that he will not be candidate if
the present incumbent, Horace Botsford,
| is renominated. But little over a week
| fntervenes between now and election
day, which is time enough to create
| and knock down several candidates for
the position.
