T WAS not nt all liko a
Itopubllcnn convention
of "yo olilon time;" it
was too turbulent, un
raauagoablo find ontlro-
ly too Democratic. Yet
ll brought forth good
fruit, and no Itcpubllcan
has good causo to refuso to support any ono of
tlio thirteen good nominees.
Tho credit of naming such an excellent
tlckot, if it can bo said to belong to ono ti.an
more than another, is duo to tlio leadership of
Counselor W. J. Whitohou c, who organized
a crusado agaiust un-ltopublican politics a
fortnight boforo tho meeting, when tho spoe
tie of folly first mado its appearanco in an
attempt to play into the bauds of tho enemy
by making no nomination for Judge, and
theieby surrendering beloro a single guu was
fired.
This movement was hatchod by tho peoplo
in chargo of tlio party orgauizatiou, aided by
cx-Congressman Bruuiiu, Hepreseutatlvo
JiOsch, ox Chairman Phillips aud others, and
it was a wiso move on tho part of their an
titgonizors, Messrs. Whitehouso, Koch, l'otts;
Job aud others when they decided to make no
lost fight on tho chairmanship and suggested
to 'Mr. Koch that ho nominate Mr. Bruunu
and ask that ho bo chosen by aculamatiou
Heads had been counted hours Leforo aud th
anti-openers knew they had the convention
body, boots and breeches. They know Urumtu
would mako a good chairman and they know
they could crlpplo him aud tho schenio he
nurtured by houoriughiiu with tho prosidiug
role, and Koch wanted not tho labor or dis.
tinction and felt that lie could bo more effect
ivo in tho body of tho convention free and
untrammclod. JJrutum Yt as thero foro harnessed
to tho chair and got iu but ouq good speech
(which ho can alway inako) and presided
with dignity, grace and tiroleas energy.
OPISN1NO THE 1!AI,L.
After tho morning session, which wasprin
clpally devoted to considering tho party's now
rulos which were adopted as reported with
few alterations tho ball was oponcd after io-
loss in tho afternoon. Delegato John W.
Kocse, of St. Clair, was selected to throw iu
tho firo brand aud ho did it by otfering a
resolution to leavo tho olllco for Judge open
Delegato I'otts at ouco moved to amend by
Including tho oilicea of Treasurer, I'rothono
tary, Court Cleik aud ono Commissioner. Tlio
vcnerablo ex-lcgislator supported his amend
ment by showing how ridiculous aud unbe
coming it would be iu a Republican conveu'
tiou to retire beforo tlio enemy had fired
gun and ho advocated a full ticket as tho only
nervy thing open to tho convention. Mr.
Reoso followed and made an unfortunate al
lusiou to tho purposooftho leaving the judge
ship out of tho fight, naming it as an cllcctual
way of bottlingup a certain corporation which
would not Bpend money iu tho campaign if
Woidmau was not opposed. This drew all the
tiro of Mr. Koch's hitherto pent-up guuB and
ho blasted all the hopes of the pro owners by
a speech which was characterized by good
sense, sound argument and solid points. Then
stepped down from the platform Mr. Chairman
llrumm and he, too, mado a telling epccch,but
misquoted history iu saying that tho Hon. C.
Ii. Pershing, a Democrat, wa brought bore
byRcpublicans in 1B72 to run for Judge,
when every student ot bcuuy.kill county poli
tics knows that he was brought hero by D. K
Nice, (who wroto him the first letter), P. W.
Hughos, Guy E. Faiquhar, Mason Weidman,
James B. Eoilly aud John A. Nash, and also
that his first nominatiou was by a Labor Ho
form convention, thut ho got left by the Demo
cratic convention and was endorsed by the
Uepubliotus, whoso convention was held last,
Vet Mr. Bruunu made a strong speech for his
sido and if the couveutlou had not beon un
favorable his ellort would havo beeu rnoro
kindly greeted. Tho uon-uomiuation of
judge was snowed under by a vote of 171 to
CO, more than three to one, and it was at once
apparent that the WhTttthouse party would
select most of tho ticket.
BEITZEIt FOBJUDQE.
Tho winners of tho chief contest at once
went to work and marshaled their forces for
Seltzer with so much success that tho Potts
ville-Shenandoah lawyer won by 1551 to 100J
for Mr, Lyon, 'the successful Seltzer owes
his streugth as much to tho Hkkald as to his
own individual canvas and he owes his uom
Illation totho wiso manipulation of his cap
tain, Mr. Wultohouse and Lleuteuauts Pom
oroy and Potts, with a littlo credit duo to the
unpopularity of tho scheme to let thbuomlua'
tiou open, which had a direful downfall. Mr,
Seltzer Is a dtaerviug wlnuor and will grace
tho head of your ticket. Ho will mako a good
cauvass for Sel'zer but he will also inaVo tho
bucccss of others on tho ticket his especial
care. Republicans will find in Mr. Seltzer
caudidato who is unselfish, fair and honest.
Uo will trade nobody to got votes for himsolf,
This tho whole Republican party can roly on,
and If bo is ouly treated fairly by the others
on the ticket aJhe will treat them some of
the Democratic nominees of July 31st will
fall by tho wayside.
Judge Weidman, against whom Mr. Seltzer
will urge a manly campaign, on the principle
that minority representation on the bench
should bo always conceded, baa' no mean an
tagonUt in William D. Seltzer. The latter
has a faculty of making friends who remain
as true to him as the needle to tho pole, aud
In sajing this I mean no pun if the Poles are
true to Boltrer. I will not say that Mr, Selt
zer will bo olected,bcoauso donbtfulthingsaro
uncertain; but it can ho said Uiat straugcr
things havo happened than tho overturning
f n majority such as confronts Mr. Seltzer
to day, and it may be that in tho long cam-
algn beforo oiectlou thoro will a great chango
comoover tho spirit of tho droams of a goodly
number of voteis who may bo mado to bellovo,
as is claimed by Mr. Koch and othors of Mr.
Soltzor's warmest advocates, in, this that a
non-partisan Judiciary was sought to bo do
Btroycd when Governor Pattison iguorcd tlio
claims of tho minority in tills couuty by ap
poin ing a Democrat to a Republican Beat.
TUB LITTLK LION WINS.
Mr. Seltzer's nomination was followed by
what proved to bo tho strongest nomination
of tho day. No ono had soriously thought of
Bonj. R. Sovcrn, of jour town, as Controller,
ut it was always conceded that when tho
ticket was mado up ho would bo found to bo
soinowhcro ou It. Theso lotters always prog
nosticated that, as tho reader will attest. So
when it cauio to bo bo well known that lleti
Severn was not only neoded on tho tickct,but
that ho would fill tho bill better as Controller
than in any other position, and sluco C. N.
MtGlnness could not bo Induced to enter pol
itics under uny consideration (always a com
meudablo resolution) all eyes turned to tho
littlo lion, Ben. Under tho management of
.Messrs, Whilchouso and company (although a
littlo inlerfeied with by Mr, Koch, who
named his client John Kauflmau, of Spooky
Hollow, or Hellangono, or Sumsuchaplatz,
who don't oven slzo up with Mulhollaud) Mr.
Sovorn was an easy wiuuor against Hon. John
T. Shoener, of Orvvigsburg, on tho second bal
lot aftor Koch bad been notified that Kauff
man couldn't win by tho roceipt of only 10
votes on tho first call. Amoug tho bo lid del

woro Shenandoah, his own town by adoption.
and Pottsville, his birtli place, tho latter giv
ing him all its votes but ono, Mr. Potts, of
tho South ward, who nevor can forgot that ho
was born in Orwigsburg.
Mr. Severn enters tho coutest for Con
troller with a thousand majority from Potta-
villo alone. Let me in thU connection notice
that Mr. Sovcrn fills tho bill in all tho re
quircmcnU mentioned iu former letters from
your scribo and those mentioned by his Honor
Judgo Pershing, who is quoted as rising above
supporting Mulhollaud and his mauagors,
who supported him so faithfully last year iu
an earnest effort to secure a competent man
irrespectivo of party. A Pottsville piper last
Saturday quotes Judgo Pcrshlugas follows:
The Judge said ho did not know Mulhol
laud and When told that ho was
man of gonial naturo aud plenty
of friends, ho said: "ihe control'
lcr must bo something better than a good-
natured man. Ho must be a man of strong
mind and executivo ability, a man who will
not let his good nature lutertero with tho re-
sponsible duties which he has to perform.
Governor Pattison, while controller of Phila
delphla, saved to that city hundreds of thou.
sands of dollars. A man who can take tho
olllco in this couuty and perform tho work
successfully will bo worth $4,000 a year in
stead of $2,000."
Tho Judgo must havo had just such a man
as Sovorn iu his mind when ho uttend tho
foregoing words and ho Is endorsed in the
opiniou by thousands of Democrats,including,
it is believed, Judge Woldman, tho hcadnom
ineo of Mr. Mulholland's ticket.
A BORAMBLU FOB X'LAOE.
After Emanuel Jonkins, of Porter, aud
Thomas Samuels, of Mahanoy City, two very
reputablo citizens, had been nominated for
Auditors, and Ja-ob D.iy, of Palo Alto, had
bee'u named for Diroi tor of the l'cor, Joseph
W, Geary, Jr., of Pottsville, was nominated
for Surveyor by acclamation and then a rogu
lar scramble for placo on tlio Commissioner
ticket began. Frank Rentz, of Ashland, got
first podtion on tho third ballot and Charles
F.Allen, of Tamaqua, secured second on the
fifth call. Stevo Mlddletou, of Gllberton
was a close second to Rentz for three ballots
and was withdrawn on tho fourth iu the iu
tercst o( Ivor D. Joues, of Mluersville, who
contested with Alleu, who cast his lines with
Whltehouse and party from the lirst, an
Allen won agaiust Jones by bO to 70, Middle
ton's rise to favor Jones having reacted on
the latter.
It was a close race aud hotly contested, tho
floors being cleared time aud again of candi
dates, Democrats and all but delegates. Chair,
man lirunim waxed wroth and grew hoarse
iu tho effort to maintain order, several times
relinquishing the gavel to a vice-president to
get relief. It was during this contest that the
convention resembled tho enemy's camp in
oue of its most turbulent pow-wows. The
outcome was a very good one aud tho peoplo
now have four cxcellont candidates to select
three Commissioners from. The people can'
go wrong on this office, no matter what threo
aro selected.
Charles C. Matten, Borough Solicitor of
Pottsville, is another good nomination. His
victory over James O'Brien, of Mahanoy City,
and Sid Shaw, of Pottsville, was easily ac
complished by tho anti-openers of the judicial
nomination, Matteu having wisely joined
these forces last week.
Dr. Dauiel Dechert, of Schuylkill Haven
was named for Treasurer by acclamation, as
were A. J. Shortall, of Pottsville, for Court
Clerk, and James R. Deegan, of Ashland, for
P.othouotary,
The convention closed Its work witli
graud wind up for Recorder, in which two
Shenandoah men were tho principals, P, W.
Blersteiu and J, J. Dougherty. Never be
foro has a bout in a political convention be
tween a Lithuanian una an irishman ever
taken place, and when Dougherty was bested
by tho accomplished business college manager
thero were mauy who niarvellod aud uttcrt'
strange language. Dougherty was only beaten
by four votes, but candor compels me to Bay
that had there been more delegates present at
the late hour when time was called for this
last engagement of tho eveniug, tho victory
would have been more pronounced. Mr. Bier
stein 1b no dummy aud If he could havo boe'a
iu full view of the assembly so that It coul
have been demonstrated that no woro no
horns and was not clovenfooted ho would
have captured a greater following.
And by this I mean no disparagement to
hit worthy compoUtor, who ot&ltns to havo
always been a consistent Republican.

haunts. Sotloy'a departure was not unex
pected, as ho told his friends ho would leavo
for Bloomsburg on tho 2.08 a, m. train. Tho
disappcaranco of the girl caused a sensation
because, tho c ircumstaucos strongly indicate
an clopcniout.
According to tho lady with whom Allco
lived, tho girl caino in tho house at a lato
hour last night and all retired. Tho nolgh
bora say that just beforo entering tho houso
the girl was iu Sotloy's company. Somo timo
between 1 and 2 a. m., according to the mis
tress of the houso, Alico left her bodroom,
(omplaining sho was ill, and went into tho
lcar yard. Tho neighbors say that just boforo
this a young man appeared in tho alley and
gave a whistling signal. They claim to havo
beon watching the whole affilr and say that
tho girl, with a bundlu In her hands (presum
ably her clothing) hurriedly joined tho flgnro
in tho alloy and both disappeared.
Yesterday morning neighbors found a dross
and a hat in tho yard through which Alico
passed, and wbVdi evidently dropped from
tho bundlo in tho hurried flight, Alice's mis

At noon to-day Detective Amour arrived in

at Sunbury this morning, for boatiug tho pro

bill. Aftor a hearing before Justice Williams
they woro committed in default of three hun

Tho men are short, dark couiplexionod and
dross moderately. They bocamo guests nt tho
Ferguson Houso and stated that they had
come to this town to rehearso a theatrical
company beforo opening tho fall season at
Pottsville. Somo of our townsmen recognized
one of them as a momber of the "O'Flyun in
Mexico" company when it was hero aud the
recognition gave the pair a littlo prestige.
Alter a stay of several days they disappeared,
each leaving an unpaid account of $10 05 at
tho hotel, lhey wero traced to auubury and
Detective Amour went after them yesterday
afternoon.
It has been learned that the pair beat Louis
Ulasa at Girardvillo, Mansion houso at Ash
land, Central and Clement hotels at Sunbury,
and a hotel at Northumberland. In some
places they registered simply as "advance

Tho Shenandoah pooplowill not stand dirty
ball playing and tho player who indulges in
it may as well pack up his grip and go west.
Tho Pottsville peoplo say their club will
play tho Shenandoah team at tho Orwigsburg
Fair on Scptembor8th, provided tho Lakeside
$75 guarantee is paid ovor. No indeed-eo i
Pottsville is not entitlod to tho guarantee,
which was oil'orod for a game of ball, not for
a riot. Threo thousand peoplo wore disap
pointed solely through tho dirty work ot
Pottsvlllo players, who wero given ample op
portunity to earn tho guarantee, but pre
ferred to breaking the gamo up with a
wrangle rather than suffer a Waterloo.
Tho plan of tho Pottsvlllo players to break
tho Lakeside gamo up witli a wrangle In case
defeat should threaten them was concocted
whllo they wero at dinner in tho Mansion
houso at Mahanoy City, aftor tho gamo with
tho club of that placo. A reputable gentleman
of Shenandoah was near the players at the
timo and heard tho whole conversation.
Pottsvlllo may yell about a technical deci
sion of 9 to 0 iu thoir favor, but tho poople
who wore ou the grounds know that it was
Shenandoah who got tho decision and the
record of the gamo showed an actual score of
G to 0 In favor of tho coal cutters.
Mr. P. J. Ferguson says ho is so confident
that Shonandoah cau defeat tho Pottsville
club ho will give $10 towards a $100 purse to
be played for hero.
Tho Pottsville club played dirty work on
tho Pottstowns and tho latter wero obliged to
stand it because they woro among straugors
and an appeal for fair play would have been
useloss; but whon Pottsvillo tried dirty work
on Shonandoah it overreached itself.
Whether or not tho Pottsvlllo and Shonan
doah clubs over meet again tho event of last
Tuesday demonstrated that tho hitter's claim
to tho championship in preference to the other
club was a good ono.
Pottsvlllo papers are harping on decent ball
playing. Why, bless their hearts, honest aud
fair playing alw.iys moans dosceut for tho
Pottsvilles and that is tho reason they don't
deal in It.

For months you made u bogus claira
And said you were the "chumps;"
