Politics in L-uzerre.

Considerable interest is being mani
Tested in LuEerne county over the ques
tion whether ConEre essman LeisenrinS
wants a second term. Until recently we
had supposed that the breeze upon this
point was agtihtlal. but Inquiry has
since convinced MS that there is real
uncertainty among leading Luzerne Re
rublicans; and it is now apparent to US
that Il positive expression from him TO
the effect that he expects to he a cam
dtdate again win be the only thing
which can much longer keep the field
free from other entries.
While there is no dangerous disposi-
tion to antagunizc Mr.. Leiscnring, there
are several Republicans of standing and
influence who argue that if he doesn't
desire to retain the congressional
mantle, he ought frankly To say so,
thus opening the way to q fair contest
among those who do have ambitions
in that direction. In the upper end the
name of County Chairman W. :. Tomp-
kins has been presented as that of Il
nussible candidate: while further down
the valley there is talk of Gaius L..
Iialsey uf White Haven; and beyond
the mountain, Hazleton. as usual. has
round half-doZen of congressional pos
sibilities. Under the surface there has
already been quiet movement toward
the forming of combinations in the
event Of Mr.. Leisenring's withdrawal;
and it has even been whispered that
Frank willing Leach stood ready to
h, lp any man who might wish to make
war on LeiscNrigg-this, as requital
for the conEressman's recent champion
ship Of Flkin. Whether true or not, this
story has added piquancy to Il situation
which was already fun of interest

mite answers. The inference from them
