POLITICAL POINTS.
The Democratic Primaries on Saturday.
Probable Winners.

From this time until next November
politics will occupy more of the atten-
tion of the people of Luzerne than any
other topic. on Saturday the DEM
ocratic primaries We're held, but there
was much less excitement than Is GUS
tomary on such occasions. and In ma
jority of districts light vote was
pollei. The county offices to DE filled
this year are judge. sheriff, recorder OF
deeds. controller and some minor ones,
William $. Mclean appears to be the
favorite candidate for the tudgeship.

mon cause against him and bring about
his defeat \ powerful element in the
Democracy have an old grudge against
Mclean and they may improve this
opportunity to crafty their revenge.
The contest for the rominatlon of
sheriff will be hetweon Dotter and
Sutton. with the chances about equal.
For the other offices there are q num-
Der of aspirant:, but there is little In
the result Of the delegate elections to
indicate who the favorites are. In
fact, the primaries attracted little at
tentlon. Many Democrats are opposed
to making Comination for judge in
asmuch as two Of the judges are DEM
ccrats. and they seem TO think that
their county ticket would be materially
st; enlightened by conceding the third
judge to the Republicans without a
contest.
The Republicans are warming up as
the day for holding the primaries APP
breaches. The adherents of Senator
Quay are greatly dispirited by the sue
cesscs everywhere of the Hastings men,
and appear to have practically given
up the fight except in the Second Legis-
la,ive district, Whore eX-Congressman
Shcrk is exerting himself in the inter-
est Of the senator, and is said to be
doing earnest work. All the indica-
tiOus, however. point to a solid Hast
ings delegation from Luzerne. The
latest scheme of the Quayites Is the
putting forward of the threat that II
Quay is beaten he will defeat the pas
sage of the bill for government build
ing In Wil';es-Barre. That threat will
make more votes against Senator Quay
than for him. 1t has already injured
him materially in Wilkes-Barre.

The pressing need of more hotel ac-
commodations in this city is felt more
and more every day, but there is no
move IN the direction of a new hotel.
If q large convention of any kind should
be held here the influx of strangers
could not possibly be provided for. This
is a remarkable condition of things for
a city of 10000 people. 1t is a fact that
the city Of Carbondale. with less than
third the population, can provide
more people with good hotel accommo-
dations than Wilkes-Barre. The same
is true of such towns as Allentown
Bethlehem and Easton.

turpentine, resin, pitch, and other by
products. During winter n squad OF
axmen Is sent out TO box the pine trees.
The box IL cut three 10 four inehesdeep,
