POLITICAL POINTERS.

The Democratic rules governing poor
district conventions need revision. The
present system of making nominations
gives too much latitude to the clique
which usually controls the conventions.
The candidates named on Monday are
probably worthy men, but the manner
OF selecting them is un-Democratic.
The new committee on rules should
abolish the antiquated system now in
vogue.
Freeland Democrats and Republicans
will elect delegates on Saturday even
ing. The former will nominate their
ticket on Monday evening. The Repub-
licans will nominate their borough can
didates Monday evening and ward can
dldates Tuesday evening.
The Republicans of Halle township
will nominate their ticket at Hazleton
on Saturday evening.
There is nothing like having a care.

Tuesday completely destroyed by fire.
1t was only by the hardest kind of
work that the fire was prevented from

Savings and Deposit bank, on one side
were threatened, and Oberrender's
restaurant on the other side. All these
were somewhat damaged by the heat
and the rear OF Brennan's was grutted
and damaged to the extent of 81, 200.
The court house roof caught fire from a
spark, but the blaze was quickly extin-
guished.

tate, building valued at 100000, insur-
ance $4,000; Joseph S. Coons & Co.,

did not suit all the delegates, and two
of Eckley's representatives, John Craig
and Condy McCauley, returned home
without waiting for the convention.

also somewhat dissatisfied with the
program arranged in the caucus, but
they went into tho convention and took
