PoTTsvILLE Aug. 2i-The meeting of
the Democratic Standing Committee held here
on the 18th instant, was called together for
the purpose of naming the chairman and the
time and place for holding the county con
vention. At this meeting Chairman b. j.
Monaghan, of Shenandoah, resigned from that
position ON account of business engagements
and Hon. Watson L. Shepherd, of Pottsvillc
was elected to succeed him.
The members of the committee, however,
decided not to select the date of the convcn-
tion until the Republicans named theirs.
This would give the Democrats an advantage.
By holding their convention after that of the
Republicans any mistakes made by the latter
in unpopular nominations and localities could
be improved upon and their ticket strength
ened where their adversaries' was weak
The action of the Republican committee,
however, in selecting the last day (Septem-
Der 30) upon which nomination papers can be
filed, has caused the Democrats some diff
Guilty in selecting date for the convention.
The leaders of the party have been in CON
sultation during the week, and there have
been so many conflicting opinions among
them that it was no small task to convince
the committee of fifteen that the date named
was the proper one.
The meeting of the committee this morn
ing was held at Rattigan's hotel and was
presided over by Chairman NJ. J. Monaghan.

The committee was well represented, and
after deliberating the question of date finally
decided upon Monday, September 23d. The
convention will be called together in Union
hall, Pottsville.
The action of the committee has met
with considerable criticism by prominent
Democrats, while the Republicans are in high
glee, They can now profit by the mistakes

A Letter From Mother.
Chicago Tribune.


Dear little mother said the young
man who had been away from home for
six months. as he opened a letter ad-
dressed to him in the well-known hand
writing of his maternal ancestor, II
wish she could go out into the world more
and enjoy herself. She is such domes-
tic little body. I'll get all the news now
about the last housekeeping. and how
the cat and canary are getting along. and
all about having the kitchen painted and
buying new rugs for the back parlor, and
so forth"
Then he opened the letter and read:
Dear Harry: l have just returned
from seeing ball game between our col
lege nine and the team from Miggsville.
Our boys were all crippled up. Burnham
had a glass arm. Hawkins was almost
laid up with a Charley-horse, and Spicer
had a game foot. One of the stiffs from
Hankinsburg had spiked him three days
before. But it would have done you good
to see how they fell on that Miggsville
pitcher. They pasted him all over the
field for six runs in the first inning, all
of them earned, and Trick Jackson made
one of the longest hits ever seen on the
grounds. II was a corking thrse-bagger,
and IL Fudleston had been doing his duty
I'm the coacher's position, II would have
been a home run. In the fourth inning
they knocked the Miggsvine twirler out
OF the box" etc.
