10000 ELECTION BEER NIL.
More Than 1000 Kegs Distributed Free In
ARecent Judicial Contest.

aRscent judicial Contest.
READING. Pa, Aug. 15.-Ths Rev. VI. II.
BreDsinRer. one OF the leading young German
Reformed preachers OF a country circuit in this
district. In his sermon In the Mertztown
church. referred on Sunday to the recent heated
judicial campaign in this county. as follows
The recent judicial contest was a disgrace
to our county. Young men wore so filled with
beer that they reeled In the gutter. What will
become OF us when those ut the head OF our
courts are elected with beer and whiskey2"
This declaration caused an inquiry to be
made in this city and IL was learned that the
factionnl Democratic managers OF both con-
testants had run up beer bill OF more
than $4,000. This was entirely in tho hands
OF the managers with which tho two candi-
dates themselves had nothing to do. Both the
Democratic contestants for the judgeship had
no connection with that part OF the
campaign. and when they heard OF It,
were disRusted that modern political
warfare in Berks County required wagon loads
OF beer For the past month oil the country
stages used extra horses to haul kegs OF beer
into the various townships. and It was said
that boys and young mon who never before
had INDUCED in strong drink were made drunk
on several occasions by this free distribut ion
OF political beer. On Sunday. dozens OF groves
in various parts OF the county. contained many
men. all indulging in beer that had been sent
out a. gift by one or the other OF the political
managers. Several churches and Sunday
schools complained OF disorderly conduct Of
men'made drunk by beer that flowed free as
water.
The money that paid for the beer was con-
tributed by friends OF the two candidates. for
legitimate election expenses" but they had no
idea the country districts would be flooded
with free beer. especially on Sundays. 1t is
estimated that 1900 barrels we're drank. This
beer was in quarter barrels. making 5000 free
kegs Of beer for tho sixty election districts, or
about 100 quarter barrels for each district
Where the kegs could be tapped at country
hotels, the landlord charged 30 much for
the use OF his glasses and for the SER
vice. Where the beer was drunk In the
woods few tum blers were enough to serve all
hands. The country was literally deluged with
beer and 1t Is likely the State Temperance So
cieties will take It up. The wagons OF various
breweries are now out In the country gather
ing in the empty kegs and there may be move
started among politicians OF all classes to
mutually agree that this free beer campaign
ing shall cease.
