I'OTTSVILLK, March 10. The political cauldron Is beginning to bubble and In a few weeks it will boll over. Activity Is niore especially notlcenblo In the contest for Congressman, i which ex-Congross-mnn Bruium, lion. S. A. Losch and Hon. Joha T. Shoener tire tho lending contest ants. All threo are ranking an ernost right nnd at this time it is hard to predict wha will get on top. It ha been suggested. In order that there may bo no friction, that tho candi date who shall head tho county ticket bo selected uy tue state lenders, namely, Sen ator Quay, State Chairman Gilkys.n nnd Hon. Christ Magee. Should this suiries- tion bo adopted, l.osch would no doubt be choien, through tho Intercession of his Irlenu, Jingeo. To make I.osch's chances more certniu everything is being done to urge the nomination of lirutnm for Congressman nt-Largo ns n mate to Mr. Grow. In case of success In this connection the field would be left to Losch nnd Shoener, with chances in favor of the former. But will the Republicans of the county permit this nomination to bo left to the dictation or ontslders However, Iosch wants tke nomination and wants It bad. He will leavo nothing undone to make his point. He is a shnper of no mean nblllty nnd is better known in the state than any other Schuylkill couutian at tne present time. Hou. John J. Covle. of Mahanov Citv. has decided to bo a candidate for Senator in the 30th district and will make a des perate light for the nomination. His ouly opponent now is Mnior John 1. Finney, of Shenandoah. If both rumnin in tho Held it will be a llvelv contest. lion. 11. 11. runups, or liordon. should hcbe a candidnto for the Legislature this yenr, will linve a competitor in Mr. Hunter, or Ashland, sou-m-law of W.

" Since my last letter tho fight for tho Hopubllcnn nomination for Sheriff has become quite interesting nnd the contest is now on lor mood. lion, kilns XMvls. of Hrond Mountain, the workingiueu's irieuo, wnounst,erveii anumucror terms in the Legislature, made an early cnuvnss nud is pretty well entrenched, lmt he must be very watchful If he doesn't wnnt some of his outposts enptured by Alex. Scott, of Fraekvillo, who is making n stubborn light for the nomination. There is little to be said of the candi dates for the Legislature In the Fourth district. There are only a few who aro showing results, among them being Will K. Haring, Palo Alto ; Hon. Ramsey Potts, Pottsvllle. and Karl Whitman. Schuylkill Haven.

Preliminary steps to n contest of the recent borough election in Shennndoah were taken In court here to-day. J. w. liltoliouse, Msq,, presented a potitlon signed by twelvo citizens of Shennndonii and sworn to by John L. Hnssler before Justice Wllllnms. The petition sets forth that the election officers of tho live wards of Shenandoah failed to mako duplicate returns of the vote cast, in encu ward tor the olllce of Chief Burgess. And also sets forth that they are contestants for that ofllce. The petitioners also sav that the filing of the duplicate return will expedite mntters and savo costs to mem. The court granted a rule that all the election ollicors of the borough of Shen nndoah show cause why the duplicate returns shall not bo filed. The rule was made returnable on the 2tlth Inst. Although tills petition is tiled there are no contest tinners on record and It Is nre- sumed that the application for the rule to show cause is merely a preliminary step to contests which will follow tho tiling of the duplicate returns, should that be ordered by the court.

It Is evident that the Kepuiillcans Have iiecome tired of and disgusted with the Citizens business nnd will have no more of it. Of late years it has simply been made a whin bv desmi ing politicians. Democrats have mode the nominations at the primaries and cut the ticket at tho polls, nud Republicans nave not lelt themselves Mound Uy the nominations.
