The position of Messrs. W. II. Koontz,
J. A. Berkey. Cl.as. F. Cook, D. J. Hor
ner, and others in the present campaign
presents a fetrange anomaly. All of tne
gentleman named, with othersfrom Som
erset county, attended a political gather
ing in the city of Philadelphia fouie ten
weeks ago at which it was agreed that un
relenting w ar fchouid be declared against
alleged corrupt management of State and
county offices. W. H. Koontz presided
at the meeting and made a vigorous at
tack upon the Republican State Organi-iition.-
A call was issued to millionaire
John AVauamaker asking biin to lead the
dissatisfied hosts to battle against the al
leged corruptionisls. After mature de
liberation the Merchant Prince accepted
the call and has since been going up and
down the State calling upon the people to
overthrow the Republican organization,
which he alleges bas been guilty of all
manner of corruption, and to deliver the
management of State atlsirs to gentlemen
to be dictated by himself and tboso who
composed the convention which placed
him in nomination.
It is only fair that Mr. Wanamaker
should be meaaurod by the mine rule as
those who are proclaiming that the Re
publican party can only be saved from
utter ruin by placing him and bis follow
ers iu charge of State and county affair.
The attention of the reader is directed
to the conditions confronting the Wana
maker advocates ia Somerset county.
Two of W. H. Kootuz's most devoted
friend and political followers are Asso
ciate Judges Horner au.l Black. A glance
at their record f-hows that they have util
ized their official positions in order to fat
Ion their private purses. The compensa
tion fuey have revived for their services
is largely in excess of the compensation
paid other associate- Judges iu other coun
ties in tiie State, and in a majority of in
stances more ttan double the compensa
tion received ly Associate Judges in
counties having more legal business than
the county of Somerset. Inspection of
the deed records in the office of th" Regis
ter aud Recorder shows that both Judge
Horner and Judga Black have acknowl
edged deeds for which it is fair to pre
sume they have charged the State of
Pennsylvania uii.l indirectly the county
SiOO, whereas a Justice of the Peace
or other offi xr empowered to administer
an oath would have performed the same
service for fifty cents ; the Associate Judg
es have met Jointly for the purpose of
discharging a prisoner, heu thepresenc o
of one of them would have boeu suffi
cient; the Associate Judgos have contin
u xl Court in session from day to day un-
n (cessarily, charging ?li) pr d iy for their
servicss ; but why multiply tl.u short
comings of ollicials whosejudicial conduct
has become a reproach not only to the
people of Somerset ouuty, but to the
State at large. ,
W. II. Koontz has been a practicing
attorney for a pariod of more than 10
yours aud no muu in the county is lietter
able to Jaugd tiiaa he of the amount of
labor the law itupxes upju Associate
Judges, but he has stood by and watched
his frioad Horner gobble up $l.0 a year
for Jive years, w hereas Hon. O. P. Shaver
discharged similar duties for a period of
five years for less than f K( a year, while
Associate Judges Mussclman and Stuffi
received only f M per year for their sr
vis. Has Mr. Koontz's political friendship
for Homer blinded him to that judicial
officer's faults, or has be been willing to
remain silent and see the laypayers im
posed upon in an unprecedented aud
wholly indefensible in inner, w ithout
sounding the alarm until Judge Homer
is ready to retire from the bench and he
himself is a candidate for legislative
honors.
Will Messrs. Wanamaker, Koontz, and
Berkey repudiate County Commissioner
Geo. F. Kimmell, who is the Vice Chair
man of the Republican County Com
mittee organized by Messrs Berky,
Kooulz, et al., only a year ago, and who
is one of the warmest advocates aud most
loyal followers of their political fortune.
Commissioner Kimmell is boldly ac
eused of having taken $otW of county
funds on the 1 II la day of August IStlT, aud
on the same day making a payment of
foOO on his Somerset property. For near
ly nine months Commissioner Kimmell
had this money in his possession before
restoring ail that he had misappropriat
ed to tbe treasury of tbe county.
Will Mr. Koontz, who is tho chairman
of the Wanamaker campaign committee
communicate the tacts of Commissioner
Kimmell's misconduct in offi oe to John
Wanamaker that he may hold him up to
public scorn as a specimen of machine
politics? or will he tell the peopleof Sjui
rset county, whim be is asking to send
him to the legislature fjr the purpose of
eradicating abuses that are alleged to
have sprung up in the State and counties
that Mr. Kimmell has betrayed the trust
imjosed in him by the Republican
voters.
Commissioners' Clerk John G. E.uert
procured fS0 of county funds in July,
IS IT, and kept possession of it for six
months before reluruiug it to the county
treasury just before the Auditors met in
January, lsiH, for the purpose of audit
ing the accounts of the Commissioners'
oCi'je. Mr. Emort has been closely iden
tified in politic with Messrs. Koontz
and Berkey aud ia in full tympathy with
the Wanamaker movement. It is not
probable thai either Koontz or Berkey
will ask for Mr. E nerl'a removal from
office or that they w ill direct tbe atten
tion of tho taxpayers of the ciuuty to
the risk they are running by having him
continued iu bis present importaut posi
tion. Samuel U. Shober, who litis been one of
the lead3rs of the political "ombine"
with which Koontz, Barkey, Kimmell,
Emert, Gjod, Birron, Cook and -others
are identified, at various times during
bis term of office as Couuty Commission-'
er secured county funds for bis personal
u . He has lioen accused by the coun
ty Auditor of grave irregulariiias and
misconduct iu office, and bus been sur
c'aarged by the Auditors for .profligacy.
Hive Missrs. Koontz and Berkey poiut
ed the righteom fugirof public honesty
at SUobvr.
When less than a year ago it was dis
covered that the Secretary of tbe Com
mm wealth and other State officials bad
given the Stale Treasurer a:l in. la naify
iug bond for ailaries advauced to cr
tan employes of he legislature. Gov
ernor Hastings promptly asked for
the resignation of the members of bis
offi ial household, w ho bad placed their
names to the bond in order that the
Treasurer might n it suffer personal loss.
Governor Hastings' action was applaud
ed by Kooulz and others and it is being
held up by John Wanamaker as an ex
ample of official integrity to guide bis
followers,
But bore in Somerset county public
officials, it seems, are permitted to take
public funds upon which the taxpayers
are compelled to pay a high rate of inter
est, aud convert it to their private busi
ness, without a protest from the Wana
maker followers.
Messrs. Wanamaker, Koontz, Berkey
and their followers tdiould be consistent
in their protestations of purifying politics
in the Slate aud County. After the local
atmosphere h Ikwii cleared there will
be ample lime for thorn to clarify tbe
State.

THE TYKOKE P03IHA5IEaSHIP.
Wanamaker't Cbargei of Corrnptioa ia
Connection W.ta Appointment Denied
by Bjpreisnutivt ESeka.
A dispatch Friday night from Wasbing
tousays: Representative J. D. Hicks, of
AUooub, is much stirred over the charge
made by John Wanamaker that there was
corruption in connection with the recent
!p-'iutGf-iit of a p nt'ii -.! r at Tyrone,
Pn., whii-li appointment was made on
Mr. Hicks' indorsement. Saturday Rep
rcsoMativo Hicks issued the f!Iowing
open letter: - -
To Hon. John Wanamaker Philadelphia. Pa.
IiK vn Sib: Thcstatement made by you
concerning tho sale, or otforiug for sale,
of the appointment of the post mastership
at Tyrone, and my acceptance, or agree
ment to accept, $i,0u0 or any other sum of
money for said office, as published in the
Philadelphia Press and Somerset Stand
ard, is alieolutely and unqualifiedly false.
It has no foundation in truth or in fact.
I respectfully demaud that you give this
denial the same publicity that you have
given your statement; and I request tbe
name of your authority that I may give
opportunity to answer in court. Respect
fully yours, J. D. Hicks.
The Philadelphia Press of Sunday says
editorially :
Congressman Hicks wants an explana
tion from Mr. Wanamaker of the charge
that the post office at Tyrone was offered
for sale for f 5,000. Mr. Wanamaker did
tiot make such a charge. In bis speech
at West Chester be read a letter from a
gentleman, whose name was not given,
about a post office, which was not named,
being held for $1,000 by the Congressman
from the district, and neither the name of
the Congressman nor the number of the
district was given. Congressman Hicks
seems to have been iu something of a
hurry to identify himself with tbe matter.
Clius. F. Cook sat in tho convention
that called upon millionaire John Wana
maker to stand as a candidate for Gov
ernor. Isaiah Good and Heury F. Bar
ron are bis running mates in the interest
of the Philadelphia merchant.
WERE THEY BUNCOED t
A Milford Towcahip Farmer Thinks Com
miaaioner Eimmell Deceived Hint
and Ei Neighbor.
EniToii Hkkalu:
About two months ago I wrote you a
brief communication in which 1 asked
Commissioner Kimmell to publish an
itemized statement of bis account against
the county for the last year, and in the
same communication I stated that when
George was a candidate be told us, bis old
friends and neighbors, that if we vote for
him we would vote in our own interest.
I read in last week's Meyersdale Com
mercial that Goorge had gotten from the
county treasury five hundred dollars
which be kept for some nine months and
then returned it without interest. Now,
If this is true, George certainly buncoed
us when he was a candidate, aud instead
of voting in our own interest when we
voted for htm, it seems that we voted
"without interest!" If the Commercial'
story is truo, that George used five hund
red dollars of the county's money for
some nine mouths without paying inter
est, whiio the county was paying interest
on a large amount of borrowed money,
then he ought to le turned out of office in
the people's interest. If it is not true, be
ought to make the Commercial man pay
heavy damages, with interest. Down
here we are anxious to bear what George
has to say, but are afraid he will not re
ply, as to do so will not likely be to his
interest; but if he does, we hope, Mr, Ed
itor, that you will publish it as a matter
of profound, almost compound interest.
Yours, in bis own and his neighbors'
iuterest.
