The political campaign in Schuylkill county
is practically closed. The candidates are put
ting the finishing touches upon the work
they have done during the past two months,
and will rally their forces tomorrow for the
final charge, and then await the verdict of the
people. The Republicans have every reason
10 believe that their efforts will be crowned
with success, because their candidates deserve
it. They present a solid front, while in the
ranks of the enemy there is chickering's and
charges of treachery. Usually, these charges
are made for political effect, but most of
those circulated in this campaign, so far as
we can learn are well authenticated. Watch
carefully the movements of some of the DEM
ocratic leaders, and you will doubt no more.

Recognizing the great importance of hav-
ing the Commissioners office managed by
men of ability and integrity-men who have
been tried and found capable and trust
worthy, a number of prominent citizens of
Pottsville on Saturday Joined in petition to
the taxpayers of the county. A perusal of
the names shows that the signers represent
every channel of business and work, and in
cude the representatives, of the heaviest
property interests that our county possesses.
Among the signers is W. l.. Schaefer, execu-
tive officer Of the Taxpayers Association;
Heber S. Thompson, of the Girard Estate;
officials of the Penna. and P. & r. railroads,
the Coal & Iron Company, leading bankers,
merchants and others of Pottsyile. The
petition is headed as follows
| I'VE, the undersigned citizens of Potts
Vile and vicinity, do hereby endorse the
candidacy OF Horace f Reber and Frank r
Kantner for County Commissioners, and, be-
/ heving that their election will be for the best
| interests of the people generally, we call
upon the taxpayers of the county to throw
aside partisan politics next Tuesday and vote
for Messrs Reber and Kantner, who are
pledged for continued Reform and Lower
| Taxes"
Dear reader, you will receive "confdentia
circulars from candidates during the CLOSING

for those candidates who make an open fight

the Taxpayers Association. in the letters
printed below, comes to the defense Of Mr..
Charles f. Berger, the Republican nominee
for District Attorney, respecting the attack
made upon that gentleman by the Chronicle
in its issue Of Saturday last Mr. Sheafer's
FIRST letter follows:
GARD
"Ny attention has been called to an article
in the Chronicle of Saturd y, Nov 4th, 1892
concerning Charles L. Berger. as solicitor Of
the county, during 1897, at which time the
County Commissioners were convicted of
misdemeanor in office.
1T should be remembered in this instance,
as is well-known to the Chronicle, that the
principal prosecution was brought against the
Board of Commissioners of 1894, 1895 and
1896, consisting Of Messrs. Allen, Rentz and
Martin.
During the time the contracts were made
and most of the payments made on them,
and when other illegal payments were made,
for which they were convicted, the Solicitor
was Mr.. Ulrich, of Tamaqua, who was nom
mated by Mr.. Martin.
THE Chronicle also remembers Mr.. Ulrich
on the witness stand in his memorable con-
flict with Judge Pershing's statements, and
that frequently IN the trial he accepted re-
spOnsibility for these contracts and payments.
1t was not until January 4, 1897, that Mr..
Berger was elected his successor. Mr.. Martin
voting against Mr.. Berger.
Mr.. Bergers connection with the Office
was only after this time and we have no
evidence in any case that Mr.. Berger ap-
proved of any Of the payments made during
the few months of 1897 that the Commits
sioners acted on such bills. We have direct
evidence that he objected to such payments
and Mr. Berger had such objection entered
oD the minutes. Refer to the minutes of
January Il, 1897. Solicitor Berger advised
the County Commissioners that the payment
of any money as demanded by Mr.. Ulrich
(extra attorney fee) was illegal.
'Our investigations have been entirely
outside of politics, not confined to defects OF
one political party, and we object to any mis-
representation Of statements for political ef-
feet.
