OUR COUNTY
SEAT LETTER.
From Our Regular Pottsvllle
Cor-
respondent.
0LITICAL AND OTHERWISE.
The Applicants for the Factory Inspector
ship are Making a Spirited Fight
PhllllrsWlll be the Han.
Pottbville, Nov. 29. To-day Is set
apart by the President of the United
States as one of tbnnksglvlog for the
many blessings bestowed upon ui as a
nation. As Individuals there are many in
this "neck of the woods" who have very
little for which to give thanks, so far as
the things desirable are cincerned. This
Is especially true of the politicians, and
the same may be said with equal
truthfulness of the recently elected
county ofllclals. The majority of the
former are on the anxious bench wait
ing for something to turn up In
the shape ot a snug political birth,
while the lite of the latter Is made almost
unbearable by the persistent ofllco-seekere
and their unlimited supply of Influential
friends. The new county offlolats may
with much earnestness exclaim, "3ave
us from our friends I"
So far as the appointments announced
by the Republican Poor Directors art con
cerned, they appear to give gsneral satis
faction, with the p-obsble exception of
those applicants who were fondly hoping
to be selected for tbeie places and got
left. Messrs. Day and Deltrlch undoubted
ly did a wise thing in retaining Warden
Ilartman and his wife la their present
positions, but It is questionable whether
the Democrats would have been as
magnanimous In this respect.
Warden Hnrtman, although handl
capped by the Democratic board, has
proved himself during the past year
worthy official, and, if I mistake not the
man, will continue to Institute reforms
during the coming year, This will re
down to the credit of the Republican
party and its representatives upon the
board. 1 haven't the least doubt but that
Messrs. Day and Deltrlch will give the
people a clean administration, and will
second overy effort on the part of their
subordinates along the line ot genuine
reforms,
Clerk Connor has made nn obliging and
efficient official, and will retire from his
present position with the kind wishes of
all, Irrespective of party affiliations. For
tunately be will bo succeeded by a most
acceptable young man In tho person of ex-
Deputy Controller George P. Walker.
So far as heard from, there are now
throe applicants from this county for the
position of Factory Inspector, The men
who have their eye on this desirable politi
cal plum are Hon. D, D. Phillips, of Gor
don ; Hon. John T. Shoener, of Orwigt
burg, and Gen. J. K. Slgtrted, of this town,
The contest between these three proml
nent politicians Is a spirited but a most
friendly one.
W, F. Richardson, of Uahnnoy City, a
prominent member ot the Grand Army,
Is another Schuylkill countaln who is
anxious to be a subordinates under Gen
Hastiugs. The position he seeks is super
intendent ot the State Arsenal. Should
the former plum 'come to this county, Mr,
Richardson will be left out in the cold
and tho position he seekB go to some other
portion ot the state. This, In the opinion
ot many Republicans, will ba the case.
for it is generally acknowledged that the
Factory Inspectorship will come here and
that Mr. Phillips will be the man selected
for. the position
Senator, Quay appears to have consider
able to say in reference to the distribution
of the offices under the Governor-elect,
but an usual he Is strictly following th
admonition he sent ex President Harrison
"Don't talk," But, however, I have it
fro li pretty high authority that thestates
man from Gordon will be the man, and
no one in Schuylkill county stands closer
to the Junior Sen itor than Mr. Phillips
The epidemic of typhoid fever at Mt,
Carbon Is excitlnr much attention here,
and the benevolent are doing nobly I
supplying means to assist the afflicted
Assistance is coming from all parti of the
county,
The excessive water rates Is now th
absorbing question agitated among the
residents ot the county seat. If there
not n large reduction in rentals by th
watercoinpany very soon, It looks like tho
people of Pottsvllle will have occislon to
vote for increase indebtedness fur the pur
pose of constructing a plant to be owned
and controlled by the borough. Should
this be the case, the same tactics will no
doubt be employed by the old company as
were adopted by similar corporations in
other places, namely, Injunctions, law
suits aud delays. We will not make the
same mistake, ho vrever, that Shenandoah
did. Sufficient money for the oompletlon
of the works will be asked for at first
aud not make two bites at the cherry
Mr. Shumway, of the Evening Chronl
cle, is making a losing fight, I fear, for the
postmastershtp, Ex-County Chairman
Stoflregan Is down on the list for that po-
sltlou, and I cannot see how Mr. Relllyl
can go back on him. Between the two
men, Mr. Shumway Is tho most deservlug
'and competent. Taking the view that
Mr. Rellly will be of no use to the admin
titration nfter this year, pressure may be
brought to bear upon Postmaster General
Blssell to name Air. Shumway In prefer
ence to the man of the present Congress
man's choice. The newspaper fraternity
of the county are a unit ill favor of Mr.
Shumway.
A movement is on foot to erect a hospi
tal at the county Boat, and the probabili
ties are It will be Kuccessful, Pottsvlllo
has long been In need of suoh an Institu
tion. Fresh oysters opened evory day at tho
White Iloune. Oysters In all styles pro-
