GOODS, After Election Echoes. Little Jack got an awful smack. John C. Weller got it right on his smeller. Some of the knowing (?) ones say that a postmaster has no right to hold a primary. Oh, indeed! Well, we happen to know better. Geess again, gentlemen. The license hold-up that was intended to kill J. A. Berkey politically and personally has acted as a boomerang on the heads of “little Jack” and his friends. Owing to conditions over which “little Jack” the “Little Giant” killer has no control, “little Jack’ has decided not to go to Congress on the 4th of March next. It’s a pity there wasn’t another silly license decision to spring on the eve of the primary, as was the case last year. That would have made the anti-Scull majorities larger still. What’s the difference between Hen Walker, Enoch Plough and A. E. Rayman? Plough and Rayman are walkers only in politics, while Hen is a walker both in politics and by name. The “Frosty Sons of Thunder” put a heavy coat of frost on that Congressional ambition of Jack Ogle’s. The “Frosty Sons” are not yet ready to make congressmen of degenerate sons of il- lustrious sires. Holding the primary, last Saturday, was the most fun we ever had in a half day. It was great sport to fix Jeweler (?) Mec- Dowell’s own clock and behold the great ladies’ man, R. S. Johns, pawing the air. Little Dan Horner sits in a corner eating his black crow pie. With his fingers and thumbs he finds there no plums, and oh, how it makes him sigh! But Horner is a good fellow, just the same. The voters just thought he had office enough, that’s all. When Ogle was Republican county chairman, he was unjust, insolent and unfair in the matter of publishing the candidates’ announcements. He used but two of the straight Republican pa- pers for that purpose, and even the two favored ones turned against him. Such chickens always come home to.roost, “John- ny?” The Republicans had about forgiven General Koontz and J. G. Ogle for their bolting back in 1882, but they have given them to understand that they won’t stand for any more of that sort of foolishness. Koontz and Ogle are politically dead and damned, and they ought to be. They are always “ferninst” the Republi- can organization, no matter in whose hands it is. The Herald thought Critchfield was frightened by the shad- ow of Enoch Plough. We don’t know how big and ugly Plough’s shadow is, but the vote he received is too small to make a shadow of any kind. An old rusty Plough is a poor thing to roll out votes with for State Delegate, and we hardly think Critchfield or any other Republican ever was afraid of the shadow of an old Plough. The vaccination issue was born in THE STAR office, and three of the candidates for Assembly declared themselves in favor of repealing the present odious vaccination law, championing the is- sue fathered by THE STAR. Compare the votes of Knepper, Ends- ley and Horner with the measly vote cast for Duncan, whose cam- aign was managed by a vaccination crank of a doctor, and who refused to declare against compulsory vaccination. Carry the news to the Connellsville Courier. Vaccination must go. = Jealousy is a green-eyed monster, and it can’t be denied that their insane and foolish jealousy of Hon. J. A. Berkey has placed Gen. W. H. Koontz, J. G. Ogle and a few other would-be “high muckemucks’’ so deep into the political scrap pile that they can never extricate themselves therefrom. And it serves them right, for Berkey has done far more for them than they have ever done or could do for him. Berkey has them all skinned to a finish when it comes to doing something for the people.

These two cities have been torn with factional struggles and ripper bills for the past several years. So numerous were the one-horse political parties thus created that few persons outside of those cities and not directly inter- ested in their local politics were able to keep track of them. The sore spots caused by these con- ditions are so numerous that no man named from either city for Governor could command the united and earnest support of his party, not even though his name be Weaver. The coming State convention will not submit to dictation, nor will it for obvious reasons favor a candidate irom Pittsburg or Philadelphia.

Weller Beaten by More Than Two to One. The Republican primary of last Sat- urday is now a matter of history. The usual “off year” vote was polled, and as usual the predictions of the “Scullions” failed to materialize. They always used all the booze and boodle at their command, then after being thoroughly “licked” they always made themselves ridiculous. by shouting “booze and boodle” at the anti-Scull people. This year, however, they cannot make use of their old howl, as a law passed by the last Legislature effectually put a stop to the corrupt tactics of the “Scull- ions,” sa.well as all others who dared to follow their bad examples. Their cry now is that they were de- feated by the disfranchisement of hundreds of good Republicans all over the county, who were refused the right to participate {in the primary. But their assertion is as false as it is ridic- ulous, and it’s only a case of drowning men grasping at straws. In some of the districts not a vote was challenged, and we are informed by one of the watchers at the Elk Lick township polling place, that not a single person was turned away who ap- plied for a ballot in that township. In fact men voted at the Elk Lick polls who openly boasted that they voted the Lincoln party state ticket and the Cit- izens Union and Orphans’ party county tickets, at the last general election. Such men were clearly not entitled to vote at the primary, and they laid themselves liable to arrest and a severe penalty for even attempting to vote at a Republican primary under such cir- cumstances. But the committeeman being a good-natured, easy-going fel- low, permitted them to vote rather than to have a wrangle with them, and thus was the ballot outraged. But with all the illegal votes cast for the Scull candidates, the true Republicans won an easy victory, just the same. In Salisbury borough the rules were enforced to the letter, and all whom any Republican believed were not en- titled to a vote, were promptly chal- lenged by the committeeman and re- quired to make oath as to their right to vote, as required by the rules govern- ing Republican primary elections in this county. The committeeman did not allow personal friendship or any- thing else to stand in the way of his gworn duty. but treated all alike against whose votes objections had been raised by a duly qualified Republican voter, and as a result the following named persons were challenged : 0. W. Boyer, Grant Dean, Harvey Fogle, R.S. J6hns, W. N. Lenhart, E. McDowell, C. M. May, S. O. Newman, I. M. Rayman, M. F. Smith, Oscar Wag- ner and James Winter. Of the twelve voters challenged, nine refused to be sworn and make answer to the customary and necessary ques- tions todetermine their right to vote, hence were lawfully and justly refused the ballot. The other three (Harvey Fogle, M. F. Smith and James Winter) took the oath. According to the sworn statements of Smith and Winter, they were clearly entitled to vote, and were promptly given the ballot. Fogle’s case, however, was a different one, and according to his own sworn statement he voted against Plummer, the head of the Republican ticket at the last gen- eral election, and also against nearly all of the Republican county ticket. Yet, when he first presented himself at the polls, and before he was put under oath, he declared that he had voted for the head of the Republican ticket, and for the majority of it. As Fogle’s first statement was proven false by his own sworn answers, he was refused a yote. Of the nine wrathy citizens who ob- jected to being sworn, and who left the polling place without voting, one would have been willing to swear that he voted for more Republicans last fall than any other kind of people, but as he said he would refuse to answer cer- tain questions that the committeeman felt that he had the right to ask, it was plain that the voter wanted to count candidates on the Citizens’ Union and Orphans’ party tickets as Republicans, and for whom he had undoubtedly voted while they were running in di- rect opposition to and for no other pur- pose than to defeat the regularly nomi- nated Republican candidates. That voter was Oscar Wagner, one of our old-time personal friends. When Os- car found that evasive answers would not go, and that a full investigation of his case would be made, he refused “fer to vote,” as Grant Dean would say, and left the polls saying: “The great I AM hath spoken.” It was also ob- served that the little “i t” who went away angry, excited and nervous, had also spoken, even if it was to no por- pose. The fact of the matter is, every one of the men who refused to be sworm when their votes were challenged, knew full well that they were not en- titled to a vote, and their refusal te take the oath was almost positive proof that they did not vote the Republicam ticket last fall. They wanted to vote where they knew they had no right te vote, but were not quite willing to per- jure themselves to accomplish their ends. The irate ones threaten to bolt agaim at the next general election. Well, let them bolt their bellies full. They bolt- ed when they did participate in the Republican primaries, and why , wouldn’t they feel like bolting whem they were refused participation in the primaries? None were turned away af last year’s primary. yet the bolters’ vote in this borough varied from 50 te 63 votes at the general election last November. Whether you give them the ballot or not at the primaries, it is plain to see that so far as the bolters are concerned, it is a case of “be . damned if you don’t and be damned if you do.” The Republican party hes something to gain, but nothing to lose by barring out bolters at their pri- maries.
