SOME POLITICAL DOINGS The Aspirants fur OHlce Cnre Gradually Coming Out anil luti of Them IIbt Already Had CanvRANes MCabe It tlie Latest Candidate for Uherlfl'. Special IIkrald correspondence. Pottsville, March 19. At the present time there Is more activity In the Repub lican circles of Schuylkill county than has characterized their movements at a similar period in any preceding year. The contest for Congressional honors is attract ing the most attention and, as previously reported, it lies between Shoencr, Brumm and Losch, the two former being princi pally considered. Ono thing may bo put down as a cer tainty : the rank and llle of the party will not submit to any outside interference, and Mr. Losch may as well give up his Quny-Magee-Gllkcson notion, for It won't work and he hasn't got a ghost of a show for nomination In that direction. It must bo gnlling to Mr. Losch to And himself crowded out In a pussy-ln-the-corner gnmo. First it was the Legislature ho yearned for, then it became a state ofllce, now it Is Congress, and he may, after all, get nothing. The St. Clair Splinters doesn't think the Republicans aro bound to put Sammy into every posi tion his whims may lead him to reach after. Hon. John T. Shoener, of Orwigsburg, "Our Johnny," seems to be the coming man. He ha been making a good can vass and finds a great many people who want him because they know he will fill the position with dignity and attend to the business of his constituents. Ho has never been mixed up in any fnctional lights, nor has ho ovsr antagonized the leaders in any way. His Republicanism has never been questioned. As to Mr. Brumm very little can bo said at the prcs-ent time. Whatever ho is doing he keens to himself. His close friends keep their mouths shut and all are sawlmr wood. - Milch Interest is boing manifested in the light, between lion. .JneK" i(nljlns.on and lion, waiter L,yons for tlio Lieutenant Governorship. It Is likely that the former will get the Schuylkill delegation, oecauso nu is netter Known in tlie county. It has been suggested that J. Ilnrrv James would make a most excellent can didate for Senator in the 30th district. Harry Is very popular and knows that district bettor thnn anv other man in it. There is a lull In the Legislative fight in tins district, npparenuy. i lie quietude is making some oeonlo suspicious. It is rumored that tho Democrats will attemnt to havo Commissioner Martin ousted. In tho language df the people who are responsible for the rumor, ho is "no good" he isn't giving tho uuterrilled whnt they want. I think they ought to bo satisfied with what ther have received. which certainly amounts to more than they were entitled to. In tho event of tho court failing to con firm the appointment of Mr. Dunkel- berger as warden of the Jail, and this seems very probable, it would be good policy to nominate Will Carter, the pres ent acting warden. This is tho opinion of many influential Republicans. Mr. Carter seems to lit in the position and wouiu unuouuteuiy give n Clean adminis tration. Controller Severn and his deputies are not much concerned over tho ouster oro- ccedlngs. Last year's Legislature was composed 01 n goou many sensioio men and must have known what they were doing. Tho flght for Sheriff in both parties is Belting very interesting, un tuo uepun can side tho lines seem to bo marked out and you can almost point out the coming man. The latest name mentioned is that of ex-Sheriff McCabe, who was defeated by J. M. Hoyer when ho was n candidate to nil tno vacancy occasion oy .Mcuahe step father. On tho Democratic sido M. D. Malone, of Shenandoah, mid "Hilly" McCarty, of St. Clair, aro tho most prominently mentioned. Had Cnpt. John T. Higglns, of Shenandoah, remained allvo ho would certainly havo been tho nomlneo nnd McCarty would not have been in tho field. Tho conclusion is that McCarty will stand n good chnnee.
