andoah Voters This Evening.
For the first time during the present cam
paigu, the Republicans will hold a mass
meeting in Robbins opera house this evening,
beginning at 1880 o'clock. The meeting will
be addressed by Genl. Adam L King. of
Baltimore, Md Hon. Charles n. Brumm and
Charles A. Snyder, Esq. The town has been
pretty thoroughly billed, and the indications
are large crowd will greet the speakers.
Genl. King. who will be the principal
speaker, arrived III town this afternoon, and
was greeted by many of our prominent citi-
zens at the Ferguson House, where he is
registered during his short soiourn here. He
is a polished orator of national reputation.
and in every presidential campaign since the
Inauguration of Lincoln he has participated
as Il campaigner; has served as a member of
the Republican national committee several
times and is recognized as one of the Repub-
lican leaders of Maryland. He was warm
personal and political friend of the late
James q. Blaine. There are few more elo.
quent platform speakers than Genl. King,
and wherever he appears creates great en-
thusiam. He will conine himself to ma
tional issues and point out the duty of
Republicans in that respect.
Congressman Brumm and Charles A.
Snyder Esq. the latter candidate for County
Controller, will confine themselves to state
and county issues. The latter will no doubt
successfully combat the argument of the
Democrats as to the so.called extravaganza
of Republican administration at the court
house and almshouse.
Turn out and hear the issues of the day
discussed.
POLITICAL NOTES
Chairman Meyer of the Democratic party.
is reported as having said in public that the
Controllers Office doesn't amount to any
thing anyway, and therefore the citizens
may as well vote for the Democratic candi-
date, who must have good lawyer employed
anyway to run the office Republican.
Hon. Earl Whitman, who was defeated
for denomination at the Republican conven-
tiOn, has succeeded in having his name
placed upon the ballot as legislative candi-
date in the Fourth district, with the two
Democrats, d. f. OBrein and Harry 0.
Haag.
The Republican meeting at MahanOy City
last evening was attended by about two hun
dred people, and the speakers were greeted
with much enthusiasm. Brumm took occa-
sion to say he was in favor of expansion.
An effort is being made by the Honest
Government party to have Hon. John Wana.
maker deliver an address in this county be-
fore the close of the campaign.
There is said to be an 'estrangement' be-
tween one or two of the Democratic candi.
dates. Charges are made that some of them
are being sacrificed.
W. A. Marr, the Democratic candidate foI
Judge, is said to be SO years old, while his
opponent, Judge Koch, is just in the prime
of life. The people have already experienced
a CT .ppled judiciary and il is not likely they
will vote to further emtarrass that branch O
the government, but will see to it that Judge
Koch succeeds himself.
Charles A. Snyder, the present Controller
has been in office but a short time, but dur
ing that period has saved the taxpayers NOR,
than the expense OF running his office. He
has the courage and legal training to success
fully conduct the office, one of the mos
imIDrtau in the county. He is making
friends wherever he appears among tn,
vOt, RS.
Senator David NJ. Graham sounds well
looks wei and will be-after November sth
/ We can sec his opponents finish now.
There will be an important meeting OF til
Fifth ward Independent Club, at 1858 Wes
Coal street, next Monday evening.
The Democrats should bottle up thei
. county chairman if they desire success in thi
: ampaign. He is neither fair, truthful no
convincing. Mr. Meyer is making votes 70
the Republicans.
