ASHLAND PEOPLE BITTER The Mention of Allen's Xmmi Aro una TIhmii to Anccr ami Taiimiim 1a Cumlt'iniietl nn Iho Vt of Conspirator--Patience Ii AtlvUed. HE deal mado between Ccuuty Commissioners elect Allen and Martin Is tlio absorbing topic in all tlio political circles of tho county, In the Republican rauks there is a great walling and among the Democrats thcro is jubilation. Tho lattor claims that Martin has mado a great dlplo matic stroke, notwithstanding Allen carries nearly all the patronago in ills pocket. Tho hot bod of indignation is Ashland Tho Republicans of that placo seem to.havo arisen in a body and aro shouting praises anil sympathies for Commissiouor'olect Bout, who is complaining bitterly of ungrateful and shabby treatment. According to tho state' nients of a prominent gentleman of that place who visited town this morning any man hailing from Tamaqua must givo Ashland a wide berth hereafter and tho namo "Allen' ranks with that of Benedict Arnold, in tho eyes of tho politicians. There aro a low politicians who have not plunged into a heat of passion and who tako a philosophical view of tho situation. They say that tho deal is only history repeating itself, an exact connterput of what Bowes and Reed did last year and it is a natural result of too much slate making and an over supply of applicants. Tho real sourco of tho troublo lies in the fact that beforo tlio election but very fow Republicans had the faintost hope that two Republican County Commissioners would bo olected and 'when tho effects of tho surprise woro oil' and tho Republicans regained their equilibrium ap pi i cm Is for fav6rs arose liko an army. Every plum seeker was convinced that ho was tho only man ontitled to tho particular oilico ho sought and each had an army behind him ready to swear to it. Tho Commissioners elect found themselves In u quandary and as a conscquciico there was a recklees amount of slato making. Perhaps after tlio first effects of tho deal wear oil' aud an opportunity is given others to mako statements it map bo fouud that thcro was somothlng mora on tho table than is now dished up to tho public, It may possibly transpire that it was a caso of diamond cut diamond and Allen's action was ono of those graspiugs for self preservation that figuio so frequently in the politicsof this county. In support of this view tho actions of Com missioner elect Rentz have already boeu cited. One of the questions raised is what look Mr. Rentz to tho countv jail on Monday last? His presence there, and in company with Martin, tho minority Commissioner, stems to throw some color on tho supposition that possibly there was a Rentz-Martin scheme on foot. However that may be, time alono will tell. It will requlro time to securo a calm consideration of tlio ail'airs aud too much faith should not be placed in tho present heated declarations. It will undoubtedly bo found that most of the loud waitings comes from people who were directly interested in tho distribution of tho plums, although not generally known to bo such. For instance, among the sources of most bitter condemnation of tho deal is the Pottsville Journal. Few people knew that Mr. Aeker, of that paper, was an applicant for Mr, Council's place as chief clerk in tho County Commissioners' ofllce. The doal will not have as bad effect upon Shenandoah as somo people think it will. Mr. Frank C. Reose, whom Controllor-eloct Severn has selected for his assistant clerk, is no way alarmed over it. It is true that Commissioners-elect Allen and Martin have docided that tho Controller hhall have but one clerk, but it must be remembered that two Commissioners canuot determine that matter. It is to bo decided by the three County Commissioners and the CentioUer, acting as a joint board, and until such a meeting is held any action such is embraced Id tho deal can have no weight. Mr. Severn will have more than one olerk. It will bo luipossiblo to conduct tho oilico with a smaller force. The celebrated B. & 11.
