gates whose duty it is will meet in their re-
spective districts and choose delegates to the
state convention. The latter body meets at
Harrisburg on the 2sth inst In only one of
the four districts of the county has there
been anything like a serious contest, and
that one has never been in doubt so far as it
effects Senator Quay's interests.
FIRST DISTRICT.
In the First district the contest has been
between Horace E. Dengler, Of town, and
II. J. Ball, of Mahanoy City, and Charles o.
Smith, of the same place-two delegates to
be chosen. The contest has been spirited
one. Notwithstanding the personal popu-
larity of Mr.. Smith, he has been handi-
capped by some of his supporters to such an
extent that his chances were never very
bright and it was announced this morning
that in the interest of harmony he has CON
cluded to withdraw from the contest.
SECOND DISTRICT.
In the Second district Hon. D. d. Phillips
will have very little opposition and will be
elected without any trouble, the opposing
candidate, John II Rowe, of Ashland, having
been brought out in opposition to Mr.. Phillips
on personal grounds only. The latter was in
the field before the Quay-Gilkeson contest
arose and was induced to run for reasons re-
lating only to county politics
THIRD DISTRICT,
In the Third district it is rather hard to
keep tract of the contest as the candidates
have been changing rather frequently, and
at this writing it is somewhat difficult to say
who they all are. Francis c. job appears to
have the inside track, while the opposition
have divided their forces and are supporting
j. d. Kershncr, of Tuscarora Albert Ellis,
of Ryan; c. w. Clayberger, of East Union,
and Charles S. Shindel, of Tamaqua 1t is
probable that by the time the convention
meets they will unite on either Ellis or
Shindel
FOURTH DISTRICT.
The Fourth district is the field upon which
the fight has been made and it has been a hot
one. The Quay candidates are c. II. Haeseler,
Pottsville; Reuben Barto, Pinegrove, and
DR.. Chas Z. Quail Auburn while Samuel
A. Losch, Schuylllill Haven; w. j. White
house, Pottsville, and Joseph Millington,
fremont favor Gilkeson. With two old
hands in political affairs like Losch and
Whitehouse, good fight was to be expected,
and they have fought hard. The sentiment
of the district, however, does not favor the
Combine, and it looks as if the Gilkeson fol-
lowers will be completely showed under The
followers Of Senator Quay are on the alert
for any last card" tricks that may be played
by the willy statesman from Schuylkill Haven
and are prepared to see that the sentiment
of the district is properly represented at the
state convention. OF the three Gilkesor
candidates in this district, WhitehousC
probably will have the largest vote in the
convention.
In the First, Second and Third districts al
the candidates are outspoken Quay men, and
they also favor Governor Hastings fol-
president of the state convention. There i:
no opposition in this county to His Excel
lency, and those who are trying to make il
appear otherwise are doing so for theil
personal gain. There is, however, great
opposition to the Martin Porter -MaGee-Gil
keson combine, and to-morrows conventions
will show it,
Schuylkill county will send seven delegate
to the state convention favorable to Senate
Quay for chairman of the state COMMITTEES
and Governor Hastings as president of tn,
state cnyention.
For any of those unexpected emergencie,
common to children in the summer, DR.
Fowler's Ext. of Wild Strawberry is an un
failing cure. 1t is natures specific for sum.
