A COUNTY
SEAT LETTER.
Something More on the Present
Republican Situation.
NDIFFERENCE NOW EXISTS
Some People Who Are Not as Active f tf
the Campaign as They Should be
For the Party's Welfare.
Special Herald correspondence.
Pottsville, Oct. 15. My letter in the
HERALD of the 13tU lust, seems to have
stirred up a hornet's nest in some circles
among the Republicans, and in others
find many Republicans who unqualifiedly
endorse my sentiments and who consider
what I suggested the proper thine to be
done under existing circumstnncos. My
bject in writing as I did was to stiffen
the backbones of some who I know are
among the most loyal Republicans in the
county, and none have viewed the Indif
ference among them with more pain
than I have.
The time which must elapse before the
election is very short, but a great deal of
good work can be done and victory
snatched from the Jaws of defeat. Let
the men who are holding back be seen
and given td understand that they should
come out and Show their colors; that it is
essential to rescue the government from
the hands of the present wreckers and
their foreign allies. No American can
afford to let this opportunity slip, as It
means much for the next Presidency,
The claim of the indifferent ones that
they have as much right to bolt the ticket
now as some men now .-mining had years
ago when they bolted and fought superior
men on the ticket, is an argument which
is not worthy of consideration. It is the
welfare of the party and the people that
should be looked to. The hatchet should
be burled, and buried deep. Too much
time has been wasted in slamming doors
in tho faces of those who have not been
inclined to think as others. There should
have been a fair and open understanding
with the leaders of the different factions
two months ago. If this had been done I
would not have felt inclined to express
the sentiments I did in my last letter,
Let me say one thing. If there is one
faction of the Republican party in this
county which thinks it can get along
without the assistance of any of the others.
let that hopeful faction sit down and
think awhile. Think over the experiences
of the past and find tbe lesson. Then let
them think over the situation of to day.
Where aro Whitehouse, Losch, Koch
Seltzer and other brilliant lights of tho
party t No one disputes their shrewdness
as politicians or their ability to help win
a campaign, but where are they today
Where have they been thus far in the
campaign t
I say again that danger lurks in the air.
The ml who aro sulking must bo seen
ana urgvu to fall in line with tho proces
slon. More than this, they must be urged
with diplomacy, not threatened or bull
dozed. You can take any one of the men
I have mentioned and find that his fol
lowing is worth hundreds of votes. Keep
your eyes open for y' Jos in the Republi
can party. Every1 rote you get among
the Democratic voters is a vote gained,
but don't build on the promises of such
votes.1 They are fickle.
The v-uiocratlc greatest-show-on-earth,
with Free Trade Blngerly, has opened on
its second week of touring, but will not
pitch its tents in Schuylkill until the week
after next. On Tnesday, October 80th, the
great adviser of tariff -jugglers will give
day receptions at this place, Tamaqua,
Mahsnoy City and Shamokln, and on the
night of the same day meetings will be
bold in Reading, Pottsville and Shenan
doah. The date has been fixed as close as
possible to election day in pursuance of a
desperate effort to carry the miners by
storm. Mr. Slngeriy will not attempt to
speak for himself. He has already con
ceded Hastings' election by a big majority.
His aggregation of talent is on the road
only to save as many Congressmen as pos
sible. The party travels on a special train.
Business is very dull here at present.
The courts are closed and tho visitors from
Shenandoah and other points north of the
mountain are very few. Shenandoah is a
great help to this place; even the news'
paper men complain of times being slow
when the courts close. The Shenandoah
cases put lots of grit into their mill.
In a copy of tho Sunday News I picked
up this morning I noticed that the editor
expresses some anxiety as to how the
letter carriers will vote at the coming
election, since they are all Republicans.
I Buppose he has special reference to the
Shenandoah force, but he doesn't say so,
I am not acquainted with the force of
your town, but I venture I can tell how
they will vote; but I wouldn't undertake
to say what Editor Doyle will do, although
I have known him for years.

Mrs. Stanawlcz's Assailant.
An account was given yesterday of Mrs.
Martha Stanawicz rushing into Justice
Toomey's office with blood streaming from
wounds on her head and of Constable Gib
llu's inability to find the man who beat
her. Last night GIbliu took up the search
again and arrested William Pukls, who
was tho man charged with having com
mitted the assault, but upon being given
a hearing Pukls proved his innocence.
William Malawltskl, a boarder in Pukls'
house, was then arrested. He pleaded in
nocence, but subsequently Bald he struck
the woman with a club when she struck
him with a poker. The tight was
ia the dark and that accounted for the
woman's uncertainty as to who her assail
ant was. It also transpired that Mala
wltskl had attempted to shoot tho
woman's husband and he was put under
$000 ball for trial at court. It appears
that the francas was the result of an old
grudge.

THE CHURCH
DIFFICULTY.
The Local Evangelicals Determinedly
Denounce the Esherites.
WILL PROBABLY BUILD !
Proposition to Try and Purchase the
Building From the Esherites Carried
After a Warm Debate.
The congregation of the Evangelical
church held a business meeting last night
and took decisive action on its separation
from the Evangelical Association, which
controlled by the Bowmnnltes and Esh
erites. Hereafter the congregation will be
known as the United Evangelical church
of Shenandoah. Justice C. W. Dengler
was chairman of the meeting and R,
Stocker tho secretary.
Mr. Dengler spoke feelingly on the situa
tion. He said thnt he had been n member
f the church for twenty years and looked
upon it as his homo. He was pained to
think that at this late day ho was obliged
leave the church and rellngulsh nil
claim to It.
John L. Hassler spoke and reviewed
the recent proceedings in Reading. He
was In favor of holding tho keys of tho
church until the congregation received
legal notice to quit possession.
M. L. Kommcrer and O. S. Kehler also
reviewed the proceedings at Reading.
They said that If the Esherites sent n
pastor hero the congregation would bo
obliged to accept him, or vacate tho
church, and it made no difference if there
was not nn Esherito in the town, tho
church must be surrendered. Mr. Kehler
Bald he did not propose to go to law over
the matter. That nothing but delay
would be gained and the money which
would be required for n law suit could be
turned Into n fund to build n new church.
He was in favor ot quitting the promises
upon legal notice.
J. II. Kester said he had been n member
ot the church for twelve years nnd he
didn't feel disposed to vacate until he
was obliged to go.
David Faust was called upon as one of
the Trustees of the church, but ho said
he had nothing to say. Somebody then
suggested that on offer be made to pur
chase the church from tho Esherites, but
Mrs. T. J. James aroso and made n vigor
ous protest. Sho said tho church had
already been paid for twice by the con
gregatlon's savings from its hard earnings
and sho was opposed to buying it again,
especially from the Esherites, who are not
residents of tbe town and have no follow
ers hero.
Mr. Stoeker said he folt like Mrs. .Tamo
He didn't like the Hen ot buying tho
church again and putting the money Into
the pockets of the Esherites.
Mr, Hassler moved that a committee of
seven be appointed to seek a site for a new
church and that the same committee bo
authorized to solicit subscriptions for a
building fund and appoint ladles of the
congregation to help them. The motion
was carried.
The suggestion that an offer bo made
for the old church was again revived,
lengthy discussion followed and It waxed
warm when one of tho members Insisted
that if there wero any Esherites In tho
congregation they should declare them
selves. Tho member was warned against
becoming personnl and it was finally
decided that the committee of seven havo
power to see tf the old church can bo
purchased at a reasonable figure; if not
n new church will be built.
The committee of seven Is composed of
Messrs. John L. Hassler, M. L. Kemmerer,
George W. Beddnll, O. S. Kehler, C. W,
Gessler, R. Stocker and J. H. Kester.
Justice Dengler announced that $500
was pledged in his office one day last week
for a church fund.

AMUSEMENTS.
"ArTBK TUB BALL."
This Is what the Sunbury Dally has to
say of "After the Ball" which appears at
Ferguson's theatre this evening : "It Is
almost Invariably the oase that when a
good show comes to Sunbury it is not
very well patronlr.ed and Friday night
was no exception to this rule. An im
pression prevailed In this place that
"After the Bsll" was a burlesque and this
perhaps kept n number of people away.
"After the Ball" is a light comedy, full
of wit and humor from stnrt to finish
with nothing objectionable In it. Emmet
Corrlgan, the leading actor, is one of the
best seen In Sunbury for a long time and
is certainly one of the best comedians on
the stage. His support was superb and
all who seen the play will surely go to
see "After the Ball" if It ever comes to
Sunbury again. It is brimful of humor
nnd the audience did not get their faces
straightened until the play wasover."
"THE LIMITED MAIL."
Since "The Limited Moil" has made
such a phenomenal success, no less than
ten companies have been organized or
have adopted locomotives, cars or similar
effects, but tho people appear to readily
"get on to" the fact that Elmer E. Vance's
ploy is tho Simon pure the "original
Jacobs" so to speak, and while several of
them nro side tracked nnd ready for the
scrap pile, Manager Vance is continually
adding new features to the drama, and
accumulating a larger bank account.
