Special HERALD Correspondence.
Pottsville, July 2G-Now that the Demo
cracy has named their county ticket, the at.
tention of the political leaders and ward
heclers is turned toward the Republicans
The date for holding the convention has not
been announced, and until that is definitely
decided upon there will be little active work
on the part Of the party workers. 1t is safe
to say. however, that the convention will not
be called before the latter part of August or
the first week in September This is the
opinion expressed by one who is in touch
with Chairman Shay, and the plan to make
the campaign a short and aggressive one will
be carried out unless some unforeseen CON
tingency arises to change that program.
THE DICTATOR.
Since the adjournment of Congress, the
present member from this district started in
to secure his denomination by assuming unto
himself the position of Dictator, and his
emissaries at once started at work in the out
lying districts feeling the public pulse.
Fortunately enjoy the confidence of sew.
eral Of Mr.. Brumm ardent supporters and
learn that the result of these emissares is
the report that the denomination of the
present Congressman is looked upon by the
rank and file of the party as a political
blunder. For this reason Brumm assumed
the position of Dictator, and gave it out, in
language more forceful than elepant
that under no circumstances must
Judge Koch, Controller SNYDER nor (
b. Edwards be placed upon the ticket. that
he would not accent nomination with those
gentlemen as his colleagues. And 10 and
behold, the change From the dictatorial
position Mr.. Brumm suddenly blossoms out
as a suppiant suing for peace. Anong oil
his friends he selects Burd PAYNE as
