Until we got our last weeks Cresset
We had supposed everything was as
quiet as could be, but after reading il
we found that on account of the trouble
over the recent election Mr.. Cavanaugh
had decided to put in bank. Now we
are Informed that this was arranged
before the election and it is our
opinion that if Mr.. Cavanaugh puts in
a bank here it will be because he thinks
there is business enough for two banks
and not because he is sore over the cleo
ton. The Hazelton State bank took
40 part IN the city fight and hence there
could be no bad feeling on that account
The Cresset didn't know evidently
what it was talking about when it gave
out this information. If Mr.. Cava-
naugh did take an active part in the
election he did it simply as priYat,
citizen and he is broad enough to allow
others to do the same. When the cleo
ton was over the campaign closed an(
the fights were all off. The majority
rules here.
