To the Editor of the HERALD.

Inc pOuilchl campaign IN ocnuNlhlll
county is nearing close, and it might be
well just at this time for citizen who has
the best interests Of the county at heart, re-
gardless Of party affiliations, to express
through the columns Of your valuable paper
a few facts regarding candidate whose
record we deem worthy Of consideration
Three years ago the Republican party
nominated for the responsible position Of
Recorder Of Deeds a young man from the
west end of the county. who was generally
supposed to have little or no practical busi-
ness training. he having gone to work in the
mines alta very early age and continued in
that occupation till he was elected Recorder
in 1895 During that campaign the friends of
his opponent used it as an argument that he
lacked knowledge Of business principles
that he had little executive ability, and that
il he were elected he and his appointees
would be incompetent to fulfill the duties re-
Quired Of them.
But having had occasion to visit the court
house frequently during the last nine years
and being acquainted with the management
of the Recorders Office during that time,
can truthfully attest that Emanuel Jenkyn
has proven himself to be one Of the most eff
cient and faithful officials this county ever
self, he has encouraged a like punctuality
among his clerical assistants thus rendering
prompt and obliging service to all patrons
Of the office. In spite of a steadily increas-
ing business, the force is always up to date
with the work, making it no longer neces-
sary to wait several weeks for the recording
Of legal instruments; and from a converse
tion with one of the clerks in the Treasurer's
of Loo hat ha fe ha -af do
since the enactment of the salary act whose
administration has earned balance over the
expenditures of the office, and at present
there is nice balance to his credit in the
treasury, which will become a part of the
county funds at the end Of the present year.
Another marked improvement is the system
of doing business by mail, through which
people living at distance are treated with
the same consideration as those calling in
person.
The people should justly feel proud that
one of their officials has given such satisfaction
to the people at large Indeed, in the absence
of his deputy or clerks he is reedy to perform
any duty of the office, showing that he has
mastered all the details, an unusual accom-
plishment among our officials. While the
working class from which he sprung ought
and no doubt do admire his conduct, l am
convinced from the sentiment expressed
among the business people that he has given
them entire satisfaction, for which reasons be
should be reelected in November next by the
largest majority given any candidate in late
years.
Faithful servants deserve to be rewarded.
That is so in public as in private affairs. Nc
one will deny this. No one cares to lose a
good servant a faithful agent. or trusted em.
ployee. The wise and prudent employer
clings to those in whom he has confidence
and to those who are cOnscientiously and
faithfully studying the bests interests Of the
employer, and who are discharging the duties
imposed on them with fidelity, and with
prompttude and alacrity. There exists q
satisfaction within the mind of the employer
when he is confident that those in whom he
trusts are faithful and true, and hence art
deserving of that confidence. These state
ments are self-evident truths proven by tn,
experiences OF ages.
Why should the electors Of Schuylkil
county ignore historyp 1t is important to the
common veal that public servants be faithful
to their trust, and work with the same yea
and industry that is demanded in privat,
business. The Republican party of thi
county has given to the county officials, nov
serving, who measure up to that standard
Among them is Emanuel Jenkyn, the Re
cOrdsr of Deeds, who by reason of his WORTH
ness was re-nominated by the Republican
delegates, and that party submits his nam
upon its ticket for a reelection.
