These letters are from corporations in his state, and he proposes to read them in the event of the Quay case being taken up.

How Salishary and Elk Lick Voted. The result of Tuesday’s election in this borough is somewhat of a surprise, as the whole Republican ticket, with but one exception, was elected. Al- though the borough is strongly Repub- lican, our people have for a number of years been electing as many, if not more Democrats to office than Repub- licans. Last year almost the entire Republican ticket was defeated, and the same result was expected this year, but with all the hustling and h.rd work that 8S. R. McKinley, D. O. ile- Kinley, A. 0.

The old gang of kickers is sorely disappointed, while the public is actually surprised that they accomplished so little after work- ing so hard. We knew that the kickers had ! much of their old-time prestige witi: the people, but we had no idea that the voters would be as thoroughly | onto the tricks of the old gang as the vote indicates.

The purpose of the Inquirer to-day is to destroy the Republican party in the | county so that Democrats may again come into power.

If publicar should serve Mr. Reynolds as his co- adjutors did Mr. Thropp, he might easily be beaten as badly as was Mr. Thropp. The men who are coaching Mr. Reynolds were bolters and kickers in 1898. If the same measures should be meted out to him as his friends did to Mr. Thropp, Mr. Reynolds would be smothered under a bigger defeat still, but the men who stood by Mr. Thropp were true Republicans and supported the whole ticket.
