their salaries, and this is the service
they get:

months. He was absent 147 days. The

| three times in the last six months. He |
spends so little time in Harrisburg |
| that it is doubtful if he would recog-

You claim it is the duty of the chair-

you held out there was to be an elec-
election officers could not have got the
blanks. A—That is easy to answer.
(Q—Did you send out any tickets? A—

did not intend to have them printed.
Q—When you put the announcement
in the paper on the 9th of June, did you

didn’t take thought then whether there
would be an election,
Here we find this “brilliant” gentle-
man of “spotless integrity” admitting
under oath that he called an election
that he had no intention of holding;
calling it only that he might call it off
three days before the date fixed, and
thus fool the people and give the Scull-
slated candidates the open field with-
out opposition.
Indeed it is not surprising that the
Bazoo should attempt to run Harvey
for Congre on his father’s record,
against which no man will say a word,
ut Harvey will be required to stand
on his own record in this case.
The Bazoo wants to reward Harvey
for his service to the ring in 1897, and
it is asking the people to help it pay
the debt, but we rather guess not.—

General Koontz is the son of a farm-
er, was born in Somerset in 1830, was
educated in the public schools, studied
{ law and was admitted to the bar in
1851. From the very start he was sue-
cessful as-a lawyer; was elected Dis-
trict Attorney in | on the Whig
ticket; made an unsuccessful race for
the State Senate in 1857; was elected
Prothonotary in 1880, and was sent to
Congress in 1864 and was re-elected in
1866, after which he resumed the active
practice of his prof n, in which he
has met with continued and excellent
success. General oonts is a man of
wide experience, clear-headed, pains-
taking and always 21% fo the inter ests
of his clients, while socially he isone of
that pleasant class of gentlemen whose
good fellowship, fondness of anecdotes
and comradeship make him a marked
man at any gathering. He is open-
hearted and pleasant to meet, and im-
presses the stranger by his dignified,
yet unassuming manners.
General Koontz is one of Somerset
county’s Republican nominees for the
general assembly, at the present time,
and his election by a large majority is
assured. It is somewhat unusual for a
lawyer of his eminence to appear in the
lower house at Harrisburg, but there i
ample r
m there for him to exercise
his legal knowledge and forensic abili-
ty, and his constituents may confident-
ly look forward to his taking an active
part in the deliberations of that body.
While General Koontz is well and
widely known as an able attorney and
eloquent pleader, he is also well-known
as a political spell binder, and his voice
has been raised in many campaigns in
