McCLURE'S MISTAKES.
The recon's show t hat forty per cent
of Judge McClure's cases taken to the
higher courts have tiecn decided wrong
by him. Just think of it ! Two out of
five! No Judge in Pennsylvania ever
had such a record. If your doctor
would kill forty per cent, of your fum
ily two out of live, would you not
change dK-tors at once?
When some of the ofHce seekers of
Snyder county, who are now opposing
Snyder county's candidate for Judge,
come to ask Snyder county Republicans
for votes for themselves, they will, ne
doubt, be reminded that they would
better go to Union county for their
votes. Vote for A. W. Potter for
Judge, a Snyder oountxjsjaaugrad H
able lawyer.

The nioxi conclusive evidence that the jfaw Intended to deceive lies it)
the fact that it fails tondd up the figures that will tell the (ruth. In that 1
it would show that McClure was not an economical judge, so our oonioinpoT-
ary failed to add up the Cost and average it for each case tried.
The above figures show that the 78 cases tried during MoClure's si years
eosl almost as nine 1 1 as the 108 eases tried during the corresponding 0 years of
Bucher's irt. If the reader w ill take his pcm ii and add up the columns,
he w ill Hud thai 108 ease- tried ler Bucher cost $20, 120.20 and thai 71) ease,
tried under McClure cost 23,001.32.
Average coal per ease under McClure $324.18
Average cost per ease under Bucher 241,04
A emge cost of each of Met lure's eases over average eosl of each
of Bucher's cases
The lifs 1 whoop going up from til
more jK-r case to try a small numlK'rn
cases, We will grant that. But lei u
11 eosl of $23,001.32 und Bucher, 108 case
Me' .'lure had the chance to t ry 86 eases more so us to he on 11 level w 11 h Buch
er, '.mid he try 1 hose 36 cases for $2666, which is all he has lefl to do it ith
in comparison with Bucher's record. Kor the purpose of closing up this de
ceptive howl, w e will grant thai McClure be given the chance to tiy 36 more
eases alld lei Us see t he eis :
.'."leases at Bucher's average, ($241.04) t 8457.30
s'.'i ijases at Mi l lure's average ($324.13)
The reader w ill readily see thai Mc( 'lure would
$2505. If Mei lure hud to try ''1 more eases, even at Bucher's average, it
would cost the county more than Buclicr's, and if it were figured al Mc
Cl 11 re's own average eosl per case, is w ould make McClurc's pis eases cos;
$8770.56 more than 108 cases of Bucher's. We will drop the latter ligures,
however, so the McClure organs will have no occasion to say the statement is
unfair; but even taking the 35 eases al Bucher's average, McClure's expense
to try the same number of cases i- $5903.00 ra than Bucher's. I foes thai
prove that McClure was an ECONOMICAL J EDGE ?
n addition the McClure organs claim that McCluri saves DOcach term
of court, or a total of $3840 in ten years, by 110I calling 1 he pel it jury until Tin s
day. How can this be? Why docs he not have a better showing'.' lleniusl
have saved at the spigot ami left it leak nl the bung.
Tlicse calculations Imvc been made fttuu the ligures submitted by the
A'eir. We wish to thank our contemporary for snbuiitting data so favorable
