think the defeat of Mr.. Gallagher by
the Fifth ward Democrats at their recent
primaries was one of the most glaring
samples of ingratitude that has come
under my notice for some time. They
defeated a man who had given the best
years service on the Borough Council
durlng the past twelve months ever given
in that body by any individual. Few
people having no knowledge of the trans
actions attending the construction of the
public water works during the past year
can form an idea of the great RESPONSE
bility that devolyed upon the chairman
of the water committee, and a still less
number seem to realize the personal
sacrifice Mr.. Gallagher must have made
to acquit himself of the responsibility
with so much success. In his enforced
retirement Mr. Gallagher has consolation
in his record Of the past year.

one of the primaries the other day and in
some way the subject of labor disputes
was brought up. Mr.. johnson was at
home on the subject. He said he well
remembered wnen a colliery in the viein-
ity of Shenandoah couldn't operate day
without having three or four strikes and
they were looked upon, as among the
course of events in the regular operations.
He recollected that one day he had seven
strikes at his eolliery, The most trivia

that time the men held the balance of

Very few Innovations have been ac
corded the favor that the introduction of
the Crawford county system of conduct
ing primaries has met with at the hands
of the Republicans of town. 1t is COM
mended in all quarters and there is not
the remotest possibility of the old system
being revived. Many prominent Demo
Gratis have also strongly endorsed it, and
it would not be surprising to see their
party adopt the system next year. J. NJ
Kalbach said yesterday, "If the
Citizens primaries had been con
Quoted nnder That system in the
spring of 1894 l would now be Chief Bur
gess of Shenandoah" One of the best
features of the system is that candidate
for an elective Office in the borough Sc
cures his nomination by direct vote of the
people and all danger of the misrepre
sentation, bribery or juggling that
attended the conferree system is avoided.
The man who fails to get nomination
cannot turn and cut the ticket on the
excuse that he was sold out in caucus,
and if poor selection of candidates is
made the blame rests solely with
the majority of the voters. The
printing of the names of all can
didates upon one ticket is another
excellent feature. Every voter who can
read Qt is regretted that every voter can
not ready has complete list of the candi-
dates presented to him before he prepares
his ballot. This does away with the old
time excuse that the voter did not know
better man was candidate, or could
not find the right kind of a ticket. The
system is also remarkable for neatness
and simplicity.
