Owing to the bad weather, drifted rouds and tin attack of tl e "grippe" myself, I have been unable to get around to see many Bepublican friends in the county. I Iioj)e, however, that should I fall to visit you, you will re member to vote for me at the Primary election next Saturday. Why should Snyder County not have a President Judge once? Must Union county have all the offices, all the time ? If the Re publicans will stand up for the rights of Snyder county at this time, Snyder may have the President Judge. If not, it will never.

It might lies good thing for them t,, publish the up-to-date coinnicnl taken from the Philadelphia Press of the 12th inst : There Is a nio-t interesting contest in progress for the nomination for Judge in the Unlon-Suyder District, Judge McClure, who was elected ten years ago, but h as not met all the i- pectation of those who supported him then, is a candidate for re nomination. He has opposition in both counties, and it looks as if he would be beaten in Sny der county, where A. W. Poller is a candidate. Tlic Snyder County Bepub- lican Committee Qxed the primaries for February 2:t a month earlier than whs asked for in Judge McClure's interest, and the friends of Judge McClure com plain that this does not give him time to make a canvass among the people. There are sonic districts in the State where a Judge who undertook to make such a canvass would be regarded as unfit for the bench. Bargains at Garman'i Peter Garman, Mt.
