The Selinsgrove 7tmes can curse
Quay with one breath and in the
next lick the hand ot one of His sup
porters. The battle between Profs. Bower
sox and Walborn for the county su
perintendency is now on in full force.
Speeches at publicmeetingsare quite
a prominent feature of the canvass.
A vole made with a lie by B jwli
tician after office in considered a
cheaper vote than the one purchased
with a five-dojlar bill. The only
difference is, the polltitioian pays for
the latter while some one else pays
for the oilier.
The Selinsgrove lima charges us
with being one of the men who in
dsted that Senator Hummel should
Ixi a candidate tor Congress against
Malion. We have also learned quite
recently that Senator Hummel in
ilia last campaign had concocted that
story and used it to gain votes. He
I old it wherever he thought it would
help him. It did him no goo! and
it served him right as it was a false
hood of the first water. Senator
Hummel needed no encouragement
to be a candidate for Congress. At
the opening of the last oompaignj
Senator Ilu el called at the Post
printing office two or three times a
week trying to get us to consent to
support him, which we refused to do
as Senator Hummel well knows. It
is now time for Editor Lesher to lo
sure before he makes a charge ol
that character.
The Election of Quay's Successor.
The election w hich most interests
the politicians of this State at pres
ent is as to the manner in which a
successor to Senator Quay is to be
chosen if the Legislature adjourns
without effecting an election. One
view of it that is frequently taken is
that Governor Stone will appoint the
man to fill the vacancy that has ex
isted since March 4th, but this is
OOm batted by some able constitution
al lawyersand apparently with sound
reasoning.
The Constitution of the United
States provides that "if vacancies
in the Senate happen by resigna-
turn or otherwise .luring the recess ,
. . , . i . ,
ot tl.e legislature ot any Mate, the
Executive thereof may inaketcmpor-
ary appointments until the next
meeting of the Legislature, which
shall then fill such vacancies."
The Constitution ofthis State pro
sides that "in case of a vacancy in
the office ot United States Senator
from this Common wealth in a rc-
cess between spinas, the Governor BARRELS OF SAMPLE ,
shall couvene the two houses by j
proclamation, ou notice not exceed- Qver Two Hundred Thousand Tr al Bpt
Sag sixty days, to fill the same." tej Sent Free by Mail. ;
