[Special Correspondence.] Philadelphia, Sept. 19. | There has been a clearing of the po litical atmosphere in the last few days, i The Republican managers have every reason to be elated over recent devel opments. The substitution of an en tire new set of iooal Republican candi dates, after the voluntary withdrawal of the original nominees in the interest of party harmony has had a far-reaeh j ing influence toward cementing and I strengthening the Republican forces ir l j this city. I The selection of Dr. Neff, a promi i nent member of the Union League and I medical director of the Jefferson Hos pital, for sheriff, the renomination of Coroner Dugan, in response to the re quest of many citizens, the naming of William Einsiey, an ex-department commander of the Grand Army, and Howard A. Chase, another leading member of the Union League for com missioners, has given the Republicans a ticket of which they may well be proud. Steps will be immediately taken for an aggressive local campaign, and there Is no doubt of the election of the entiro Republican ticket by a large majority. Disappointed Office-Seekers. From the interior counties Chairman Wesley R. Andrews, of the Republican state committee continues to receive the most gratifying reports. The so-called Lincoln party has been demonstrated to be little more than a combination of office-seekers. Their ef forts to draw votes from the Republican ticket will not have substantial results. An idea of the character of the men in the movement may be formed from the fact that H. C. Niles, of York, who figures as state chairman, was twice defeated for the Republican nomina tion for superior judge. When he pre sented resolutions in the York county convention In line with the platform of the Lincoln party he got but three votes in favor of them, and one of these votes was his own. George E. Mapes, the secretary, has been voting against Republican candidates for years. For mer Senator Emery, of McKean, was defeated by the Republicans when he ran as an independent candidate for j congress, and he has never forgotten or forgiven the leaders of the Republi can organization who defeated him. He is out for revenge. Charles Heher Clark, of Montgomery, who presided over the Lincoln party convention, is disgruntled because President Roose velt declined to appoint him to a po sition in the department of commerce and labor. Clark has been fighting the Republican party for years. He Is a pronounced free silverite. Former Con gressman P.rumm, of Schuylkill, an other conspicuous figure among the Lincolnltes, has a record as an origin il Greenbacker. He was an applicant for position under McKinley and Roosevelt and was turned down. He now, too, wants to reform the Republican party. Former Congressman Thropp, of Bedford county, who was chairman of the committee on resolutions of the Lincoln party, is a disappointed and | disgruntled office-seeker Ho was turned down for re-election to congress by the Republicans of his district, and he has ever since b<>en working against Republican nominees, but he has no following at home. These are but a few of the men who ere running the Lincoln party. Their only hope for recognition in the future line lies in the disruption of the Re publican party. The loyal Republicans of Pennsylva nia will no* permit them to succeed in their party-wrecking campaign. They will snow them under in an avalanche of Republican ballots in No vember. The Triulemnrk. American owners of trademarks have a right to complain of their unjust j treatment in Culm, where the old Span ! ish law on the subject still prevails.

I Hon. John T. Khoener, a former Clerk of the Court,B of Schuylkill 1 county, was found guilty the second time on Friday for retaining $7.24.''- :!N belonging to the county. While Clerk of the Courts he collected the above amount of fees on license applications, and failed to turn it over to the county treas urer, claiming that he was entitled to it. He was tried for this in 190.'] and found guilty and sentenced. The case was appealed and the Su preme Court overruled the lower court and he has been at liberty since that time. At the trial in l'ottsville last week, his attorneys brought in a plea of the expiration of the statue of limitation but Judge Bechtcl would not have it that way and the case was given to the jury, which resulted in his conviction for the second time. The case w ill now goto the high er court. Mr. Shoener is well known throughout the state, hav ing served two terms in the Legis lature, and afterwards being Ser geant-at-Arms cf the House. Siuec he got into his trouble about the money he retained he has spent more than the amount in litigation, or in an effort to save himself from the extreme penalty of the law in his case. W. K. Shoemaker, one of the .State special fish wardens, was held in ijSOn bail for his appearance at the ne."?term of court by Justice I hompson, of Towanda township. The complainant is Charles Liljcdal who alleges that he shot at him with intent to kill. Shoemaker made no (left-use at the hearing, but it is understood that his version of the affair is that while he was arrest ing Tiiljedal he tired his revolve; - in the air to attract the attention of a deputy lie had 011 the shore, in or der that the deputy might come to the place where Shoemaker was. Vt 10' o'clock Wednesday night, after having been out just one hmu the jury in the case at Williamsporl where James Salerno was charged with murdering his step-daughter, brought in a verdict of guilty of murder in the lirst degree. The verdict was expected by all who heard the evidence. Salerno's de fense of being drunk and that his mind was a blank at the time was completely demolished in every par ticular by the rebuttal, and to the general public it was only a ques tion of how long the jury would be ■>ut. There could not be the least loubt after hearing the evidence that Jim Salerno is guilty of one of he most brutal murders Lycoming 'ounty has known.
