THE SCBAKTON- TBIBUNE-WEDNESDAY DECEMBER 25, 1895. CARDONDALE. ' FRANK SMITH'S CANDIDACY. It la Charged That Ho Broko Failb with Kobert Carter. A new turn has been taken In the mayoralty fltrht by the assertion of the friends of Kobert Carter that Frank Ktnltli, thu so-called "harmony" candi date, has deliberately broken faith with them. It is specifically asserted, and names and dates are said to be accessi- Me. that Smith repeatedly assured Mr. Carter of hia Intention to support the latter's candidacy, and that, under cover of these repeated promises, made not only personally to Mr. Carter, but also to Mr. Carter's prominent friends. Smith trained a knowledge of the plans of the Carter campaign which he now proposes to utilize In advancing his own ambition. . Had Mr. Smith re mained loyal to his pledged word it is said by Mr. Carter's friends that he could have been nominated for city controller; but It Is now their belief that he not only cannot, on a record of political perfidy, make the nomination for mayor, but also cannot make any other nomination within the Republi can party's gift at the municipal elec tion. Friends of Mr. Carter alHo charge that the petition which Is being circu lated In Mr. Smith's favor does not represent a bona fide public sentiment, but that signatures to it are obtained through a. misunderstanding of the fucts. They allege that Smith Is really a substituted candidate of the faction which saw that with C. K. Kettew as their candidate they would be beaten overwhelmingly. They profess to be coniident that the Uepubllcur.s of Cnr bomlule. when they once learn the facts ns to Mr. Smith's breach of faith with Carter, will refuse to be drawn into the effort to put him In nfllce and to -n-thrune the coterie of local bosses who pull the strings behind him.
