When it IS known that the appointment:

IS George R. ScGll. ESQ. and that sss Di-

csu not appoint an Enumerator, one
wonders THAI the editor OF tbs Democrat
wouid give circulation to 80 strpid a lie.
Not single appointment Of Census Emu
merator has yet been made in the l3.h
Penn'a Census District, nor VIII any be
made for week OF more 10 come We
doubt if any have yet been made in the
entire State. When they are made for
this distries they viii Be appointed By the
Supervisor who certainly viii not be in-
aueneed in his selection by Mr.. Joseph
E Thropp. The effort OF Mr.. Thropp
and his Democratic allies to make it ap-
pear. in their effort to make political cap
ital, that Mr.. Thropp will control these
appointments Is childish. What appoint
ment. Of any kind, did Mr.. Thropp ever
give to Somerset county? II he has con-
trolled any Federal appointments they
certainly have not been given to somer-
set county. Judging from the result Of
the recent primaries in Bedford county
Mr.. Thropp had considerable trouble in
controlling his own vote He certainly
did not eontrol or receive the votes Of
many Of his neighbors. nor can he con-
troll OF influence any votes in Somerset
county in behalf OF his proxy candidate,
Mr.. kOoser, By willfal misrepresaata-
tion and claiming to control appointments
that he has absolutely nothing to do with
and can not possibly influence. We re-
peat, no appointments OF Census Fnu-
me.ztors have been made for any county
in this censas district, and when they are
made they viii be made BY the supervisor
solely on the merits OF the applicants,
entirely free from dictation By Joseph E.
Thro3p or his proxy candid ate, F. J.
Kooser.
aud while on this subject, what ap-
pointments. Federal or STATE, have
Messs- Thropp. KoOntz. Kendall or
Kooser ever procared for any OF their
supporters They have been most pro-
life in their promises. Ills true, but their
promises have never msterialized. II

published time aud again statements of
FEDERAL positions that Mr.. Thropp was
going 70 control and how they we're going
10 fall into the ever open maws of the
faithful Insurgents in Somerset county.
Every Insurgeat nav Is stia open and
pi1mless. When Ko0nfz and Kendall
we're elected 70 the Legislature, they had
promises Oas that would have filled twice
over ali the positions in the gift Of the
