PRESIDENT JUDGE.

Is it true that nine years ago, then
H. NJ. Mcclure, Esq, told you that
Judge Rockefeller was partial and that
he had treated him shamefully?
Did he make you promises both be-
fore and after the election, he never
fulfilled?
How could you have consistently
voted at the primary when you were
fully convinced that the Judge is II
NoN-PoLITICAL Office, based upon the
unanimous opinion of II political
parties"
If the Republican party has made n
mistake, do you think they ought to
correct it
DO YOU think that the Democratic
party will profit 10y the mlsfortuncs of
its adversaries and not run into the old
rut that has led them to inevitable de
feat for the last nine years
Do you think they are willing to pay
an honest debt, although barred 10y the
Statute of Limitation?
Is it true that if they reflect, it
should be easy for them to remember

County has had that office twenty
years, Union County has had it twenty
years, and Lackawanna County has
had it ten years.
Some time in the future ! will pub
lsh calculation of what the money
amounts to, at this time, received by
each of the above counties, supposing
it had been invested in judgments and
revived every five years according to
law.
Yes, there is not detail until now
and seven o'clock i. NJ, on election
day that | do not see. OF course ii may
be necessary to make n few changes.
but that will be an easy matter.
You will then be able to exclaim with
many others, "How can any man, in
either Union County or Snyder County,
refuse to support Snyder County can

County will be for Snyder County, be-
cause there is no doubt that it will re-
ciprocate past favors if we give them an

disposed of before will be able to give
the judicial contests my undivided at
tention and as this may take several
weeks, ! am compelled to ask YOU to
be patien. for the answers to all qu"s-
tions.
Other parties are better prepared to
answer some and you will be referred
10 all such.
You should grant me the privilege of
asking some, and when you are set to

t EN-, the truth will be made to appear
and you will be astonished that you
have been laboring and acting under II
wrong impression for the last nine
years.
AS the facts of my case will confound
the most learned and able judges and
lawyers of this whole country and put
them to sea without rudder or compass
as to the law, and the proper theory to
win the case, l will print them as soon
as it will be possible to fully ascertain
them. Very respectfully yours,
