The Mahanoy City votes was divided a,
follows For Coyle aud Wyatt William
Shoener, William Rudge and William r
Clifford. For Stmughn and Brill-Milton
Musser, A. Mengle, Thos. Harper, V. W.
Medar, David Beddow, Owen Jones and
Charles Bauseman. It will be observed that
Senator Coyle's town was against him by
over ? to 1, Notwithstanding his boosted in
fluence and power and reckless promises of
appointments.
The contest was one Of the most stub
borny fought that has ever been known in
Schuylkill county. Promises of post office
positions berths in the public buildings at
Philadelphia, and the more substantial ele-
ments Of war were used indiscriminately by
the two candsdates who suffered defeat at
the hands of the convention and, while they
succeeded in seducing several of their op-
ponents' supporters, enough remained true
and loyal to sound the death knell of John
j. Coyle as a factor of any account in the Re-
publican party Of Schuylkill county.
It will be interesting to note further on
how the promises of post-oilices, positions in
public buildings, etc, will be fulfilled, now
that Coyle has been so decisively whipped
Shenandoah didn't cover herself with
glory I'm the convention. 1t is to
be regretted that men who had made
solemn promises were so easily induced to
break their word, and it is to be hoped that
in the election Of delegates next Saturday
the voters will exercise their choice to better
effect than they did in the selection of some
of the delegates who attended the convention
just ended
There were men who stood manfully in
spite Of the great inducements offered, and
voted their convictions like good citizens
NOTES.
The convention was of the usual kind an
parently though suppressed excitement was
plainly visible
1t is too bad to lose after spending so much
hard cash
Slippery Tom, Of Shenandoah, has fonnd
that it is little harder to handle delegates
than to trade schoolmasterships
You can fool some of the people all of the
time, and all of the people some time, but
you cannot fool all of the people all of the
time.
lingo Jack is in the soup. SO is Slippery
Tom.
Somebody suggested Tom Joyce for Ser
geant-at-Arms, but Tom was modest and
would not accept
Capt. Comrey is the happiest man in Maha-
noy City tonight with Harry Ball close
second
And Johnny Finney got through all right
with Congressman Brumm, Jim Muir and
Funkel Moore.
Finney elected, Coyle defeated, is gall and
wormwOod indeed.
How much does Coyle owe the Republican
party now 1t is easy to tell how much the
party owes him.
Ex-senator Kings smile over the result
was all wool and yard wide.
Whom the gods would destroy they first
make mad. Coyle was mad clean through.
Too bad for Joe Wyatt, but he was in bad
company.
The brownsville delegates vote was il
legal but it did not help them out and
therefore was not challenged.
Although Coyle does not control them the
delegates to the state convention are organi-
zation Republicans
Poor Tom and his post Office are slipping
farther apart
1t was as lovely a day as the other Waterloo
many years ago.
American Hospital, State Delegate and
next State Senator A consulship at Tim
buctoo or Terra del Fuego is still open, pos
sibly.
