Matters Political.
Special HERALD Correspondence.
Pottsville, July 3O.-Among the politicians
Of the county seat during the present week
the principal subject Of conversation was the
expose" given in this correspondence on
that now famous harmony deal in which
Burd Payne played 50 prominent part, aud
which proved a colossal failure. Mr. Payne
is a man of much ability and Controller
Snyder is fortunate in the choice of his
deputy but as political strategist the gentle
man from Ashland is placed in the category
Of the "has-beens"
True it is that every political campaign
develops a small army of so-called leaders
who imagine that the destinies of their re-
spective parties are, Atlas-like on their
backs They assume an air of authority that
would be impressive were it not so absurd.
They are fruitful in advice, ana try to con-
vince their hearers that they know it all.
But what they do not know about politics
would fill a large book. OF course, | do not
mean to infer that my friend Payne is in that
class. He is necessary adjunct to the Re-
/ publican party, in more ways than one; but
he is travelling in bad company.
One thing is certain, there will be no more
sham harmony deals this year, in the in
terest OF a favored lew at the sacrlhce OF the
many. nS1 was nippeu iu Siio pIG' anu iT, yo

While it is true that Mr.. Brumm and his
friends are by no means friendly to the nom
ination of County Controller Snyder, the
latter has developed such strong personal
strength that all efforts to defeat him in the
convention will likely prove of no avail.

r THE CONVENTION DATES
Pottsville's morning contemporary ha
I worked itself into frenzy because it canno
D induce Chairman Shay to look at matters il
q the same light that the political writers o
the journal do The latter, for some un
[ known cause, is anxious that the convention
e be held on the 10Th of August. The county
! chairman says his inquiry in different sec
/ tions of the county leads him to believe tha
the Republicans do not desire an early con
vention. especially in the warm season. The
convention will be called in due season. an6
, the date selected will probably be the las
, week in August or the first week in Septem
ber. So nv friends of the Journal shoulC
, console themselves until that time arrives.
