JtelnlieM Pressing fadiiiiiui, nllh Iieiir- netker mid Ills Chief lUrkcni mi Tlirlr Haras In Slrk Het. Tlie Hcptlbltcnn primary olcctien Is less than three weeks e!i, and the bosses liave done llttle r nrjiklug ler iheir rospectlve vnndldntes for the principal officer te be chosen recorder of deeds. All of the work thus far has been dene by the candidates thomselves. llolnheld headH thellst se far ns travellng the county Is concerned nnd Bays It lias paid hlni te de se. He claims that he has met with great cneouiagemont, and that If nothing unforeseen happens he will secure the nomination. Lehman has net been Idle, and for the past two weeks has been getting his work in. Moero lias net travoled much and Is sensible in Raving his money, for he is net in the light and never was. His strength Is in ene or two townships In the Southern district, nnd all told would ninennt te only a few hundred votes. Sammy Allen, who claims te control the colored vete et the city, it Is said, called en Moero and began negotlaUeuslbrthodollv- cry or that vete te the Third ward candidate, but did net meet with much encouragement, Moero telling him very plainly that he did net want their vetes. Hen Lengnccker is still confined te the house, and Is dopendingen ex-Shcr!ir llreneinan nnd Frank Musser te koe him through, In the ubsoiice front the Held of Bess Levi, who is also confined te the house nnd will net be able te command his forces in person. Sammy Allen's account of the Intcrview Is that Moero said tehlin that If he couldn't get the nomination without the coon vete lie didn't want the office. Sammy is ery in dignant nt the oppression of Moere, nnd Is net slew In circulating the story. in Tin: city. The recerder's light In the city will be reasonably close, and irem a clese observer and ene who has been an Important factor In many a primary election, It Is learned that the following tesult may be looked for in the city: Iteinheld will carry the Second, Fifth, Sixth nnd Ninth wards ; Longneeker the First and Seventh, and Lehman the Third, Fourth nnd Eighth. Lehman's wnrds will give him large majorities, and he will carry the city by n majority ranging from liO te 500. None of the Republican papers have ns yet announced their choice It is known, hew ever, thattheiiifluirerisfricndly te Lehman, the jVew Kra leans te Iteinheld, because of his com se in the national convention, us a supporter of their pet candidate, "The Plumed Knight," and the Kxuminer would like te be for Den Lengnecker, but can't take nny part en account of certain complications ami premises made. Of the M)liUclans, Lew Hartiiiau is ler Iteinheld, Mcnl7er for Lehman, Suusenig for Lengnccker and Mc.Mellcn Is en the fonce, le.idy te drop te any of the nbove named can didates. a travki.ihi'h BTOIlV. A Republican who has travoled the county rocently has this te say of the rocerdor's tight : "There Is a great deal of sympathy for Lengnccker, and If his canvass was prop erly handled he could succeed without much difficulty, regardless of the politicians. Lehman has the must extended acquaintance in n number of sections of the county, and that is an advantage, but in some sections he is net known te any extent. Kx-Roglster Umble and candidate for the State Senat'j Kurtz me for Lehman. lleth are from the Southern henateri.il disti let. t'mble is strong hi the Eastern and it Is said wil.l have great hilluenee In securing the Auilsli vete for ids friend. On the ether hand It is claimed that Iteinheld will get this vete almost solid through lamily influence. Iteinheld Is very strong in the townships surrounding his home." HKNATOIt ST1IH MAN'S POSITION. Senater Stehmnu is Inn bad box as te the recorder's light. Ilisdistrict Hohrerstown is solid for Lehman, because he hails from tliore. The senator won't be nble te light hlni nt home, hut in the ether sections of the township his inlluence will probably gote Rolnheld. Stehiuau Is net going te hurt him self in the tight, hewever, as he wants te go back te the Seimte. The anti-discrimluatien bill is bothering him new mero than the pri mary election. 1 le wants te vete against the bill,hIscoustituenlaare for it and he will get out or the dilemma by dodging, if that Is lM)snible, and trusting te luck te satisfactorily explain te his constituents why he was ab sent after the oxcltement has blown evor. JUAY-5l'l)CVITT. The ixilltlcians would llke te see oither Quay or McDevitt withdraw from the stnte trcnsuier contestant! are In hepes that the light between the great bovses, Mageo nnd Quay, will be compromised, if It geos en Irem present appearances it will result In u drawn light In this county, with the delcga delcga tiens equally divided, although it is probable that Quay may heud the necessary cash into the county nnu capture a solid delegation. It would be the shortest way for him te end the i;oi)test. for it' McDevitt can't get the vete or his "adopted " county he may as well letire. If the contest is te remain botweou these two the "brainiest" boss Quay will have the tiuqualitlud endorsement of the A'cw Kra, while the Kxamxner's hands ure tied. This eoutest would divide tlie politicians mero than any that lias ever taken place in the county. The knowing ones nre divided na te whether it will nfl'ect its Interest for recorder. Some contend that the slnle will be Quay and Lengnccker, ethers McDevitt nnd Iteinheld, and btill ethers say that Lehman's strength can't be ignored, and that he will be in one or tlie combinations. A few days will do de do termino the matter. The only candidates spoken of for dele pates te the state convention thus far nre Percy Sheck, tlie auburn-haired youth who runs the Marietta Jieyister, Jacob Landls, of Kpluata township, and Prothenotary Skllcs.
