Some of the People Who Seek Nomination on the Tickets to be Named In the Near Future Their Chances Reviewed. Special Heualii Correspondence. Pottsville, Aug. 10. Wo have met tho enemy, and lie is ours. This expression Is brought forth by tho result of tho state dele gate tight in this district. One of the most hitter political fights within tho ranks of the Itepublican party was that of Saturday last, and in looking over the field and count ing thi dead and wounded I cannot see what benefit it will do tho party. No stronger Quay advocate resides in tills district than your humble servant, yet I am opposed to entering into a personal encounter with my neighbor simply because ho may ditfer with mo upon a question of party policy. It does tho participants no good It breeds more dis cord in our ranks than years can heal, in fact, it has opened wounds that may never heal, and which, in my judgment, will drive party workers from our ranks. Tho sentiment of the people in this dis trict, it niu'st be acknowledged by all fair minded men, is strongly against the city combine; this same sentiment, too, was just as strong in the other districts, yet their con ventions were orderly and the business trans acted in a gentlemanly manner. What is the result? In the First, Second and Third districts the Gilkeson adherents quietly sub mit to the will of the people and there ap pears no wounds to heal placing the party organization in its proper position to light tho enemy. Down here a handful of politicians, regardless of tho wishes of the rank and file, enter their personalities into the contest and obliterate tho real issues. This is wrong; and I say it with a desire for party success. I have been on the ground Moor in this fight, but thoo who came in con tact with mo know that I used no abuse, dealing solely with the issue as I saw it whether or not it was advisable to place (Juay in Gilkcson's present position as stato chair man. I still believe it is; and mark tho pre diction, the accredited representatives to the state convention will so decide. Tho delegates-elect to the state convention from this county held an informal conference here on Thursday. The meeting, I under stand, was merely for exchange of views, and from the conversations I had with several of them you can count on a solid delegation from this county on all questions before tho convention. Think you that the' will be solid for Gilkcson? The question has often been asked me lately what the Governor will do in reference to the Controllership whether be will adopt the same policy he did in tho Luzerne case: wait until the nomination is mado and then appoint the nominco of tho party. I believe lie lias ileciueu upon that plan, inasmuch as Losb, who was otl'ered tho position, failed to deliver "the goods." The local statesmen aro now gradually assuming their normal stato since the battle of Saturday, and aro giving the complexion of the county ticket some consideration. Our Democratic friends appear to bo in as much of a dilemma in this respect as wo are. The greatest fight on tho Itepublican side of tho houso will centre on tho District Attorney There aro now three pronounced candidates, and either of tho three would bo a creditable and ablo olllcial, but which would make tho strongest fight against his Democratic com petitor is another and very important ques tion for Itepublicans. S. llurd Edwards, whoso personal following at this his home is strong in many ways, is an indefatigable worker and lias rendered the party good service in tho past. Ills ability is unques tioned, and his social qualities of tho highest order. I'ottsvillo has another can didate for this ofilco in the person of Arthur L. Shay, who has many friends throughout tho county. lioth aro popular, but it looks as if Kdwards has a shade the better of it at home. Tho Controllership fight will bo dead easy, on both sides. Severn will be tho IJopubli can nominee, and his Democratic competitor will bo M. II. Muster, of your town the man who carves tombstones and if he floosn't cmbellsh a political head-stono for his op ponent at tho polls his friends will be greatly surprised. Wo arc often disappointed in our ambitions, howevur, and as Severn has served tho people well in this position once, they will naturally feel inclined to give him an other trial especially so sinco ho was ro movod from ofilco before his term expired be cause of tho unconstitutionality of tho act creating tho olllce. This will cut a big figure in tho campaign. Master's naino is mentioned in connection with the position in almost overy slate, so we may concludo that it will bo Sovorn against Muster for Controller, While I make this prediction, I realize that there is room for a dlll'oronco of opinion. Many astute politicians claim that neither Master nor Severn will get tho Controller nomination. As to tho latter, they claim that Shenandoah, as often in tho past, will put a Meh of candidates boforo the convention and linvo her forces divided. She now has two candidates in tho field in addition to Severn Lawrence Mangam and Michael Graham, whoavo seeking the nomination for Director of tho Poor. Shenandoah ceitainly eunnot secure both nominations, and with divided forces is in danger of getting nothing, ltoth Mangam and Graliam are reported to be in d,eud earnest, claiming that they are entitled to the .position on ac count of liaviug stepped out of pre vious fights for the sake of harmony and general service to the party. Severn's claims to tho olllce are generally known and they arc such as to lead somo to the conclusion that ' tin" Controller and Poor Directorship will load ton nasty fight. Tho talk about Losch being a candidate for Controller seems unfounded. Many of his intimate friends say ho would have accepted tho appointment from the Governor and used it as a foot-stoo in tho convention, but since tho plum has failed to fall he will mako no fight for it. Tho report that llurd Payne will bo a candi datoiSreiiiaiiis unconfirmed. to the Judgeship, it seems to bo gen erally conceded that Judge Lyons will bo the nominee. Those who predict that Master will not bo the Democratic nominee for Controller seem to figure solely on a geographical distribution of tho nominations. They claim that Edgar Hcchtel, of I'ottsvillo, will bo the nominee for District Attorney and 1. M. Dunn, of Mintrsville, Judge. This would leave the Poor, Director, Controller and Coroner to bo agreed upon. There sceins to be a general sentiment, they say, that Shenandoah shall retain a representation at the Almshouse, and thW would knock out the Controllership reaching that town, throwing it south of the mountain, as tho nomination of Dr. Marshall, of Ashland, for Coroner is quite sure. lichtel and Dunn seem to have clear fields at the present time. A. W. Schalck and Nieb. Heblich have been mentioned in con nection with the Judgeship, but it is well understood that they v. ill mako no fight for itjahdas there is one in the field with a coiiderable following and to whom the party islloroor less indebted, and who stands ly to battle, it is not likely that the silver or will bo passed around. am inclined to believe that James Smith, anjpx-Cliief liurgess of Shenandoah, stands a pretty good chance for the nomination for r Director. At present he is the only candidate in the field fiom Shenandoah and has but one opponent, Keegan, of Mabanoy City. I do not look upon tho latter as for midable, for tho reason that Ills town has the liecorder and there has never been a disposi tion to let the town hold two county ollices at ono time. ltovever, tho whole phase of tho situation on both side's may be changed during tho next 'week. The state delegate elections created so much apathy in connection with the approaching Itepublican county cam paign that at times the latter was almost wholly losf to sight, and now that interest is being revived there may be occasion to change opiu'ons in many respects. The Democratic coimty couimitteo will meet here to-morrow to elect a new chairman and fix a date for the county convention, and the Itepublican exec utive couimitteo meets here on Monday next, to fix the date for their convention. The in dications aro that the Republican county convention will be held somo time during the second week of September, but this will de pend in a great measure upon what tho Dem ocratic county committee will do to-morrow.

AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CHOSEN This Commltteo Will Select a National Com mittee, and the Work of Organizing for the Democratic National Convention Will ho Pushed In All States. WASHINGTON, Aug. 16. Tlio silver Dem ocrats continued their conference at tho Metropolitan hotol nt 10 o'clock yesterday. Tho committed on resolutions and pro- Brain being uunblo to report whon tho meeting was first called to order, the ttma was spent in listening to speeches. Tho speakers gonerally scored President Clovo land for his "opposition to Demoorntlo doctrine." It was almost 1 o'clock whon tho com mltteo on resolutions tiled into the con ference room, and Senator Dnutol was recognized to mako tho report of tho com mitteo'g proceedings. This was dlvidod into two sections, ono consisting of an ad dress to tho Domoorats, and tho other a plan of organization. Ho said tho address in most respects was tho saino na that adopted by tho Democrats of Toxas, Mis souri and Mississippi. Tho address was read by Governor Stono, of Missouri. Tho address disclaims speaking with party authority, tho assomblago bolng o voluntary ono, but strongly reprosonts tho opinion of tho conference that tho party should deolaro for free coinage of silver. Tho address concludes as follows: Duty to tho peoplo requires that tho party of tho peoplo continue tho battlo for blmotnlllsm until its efforts nro crowned with success; thoroforo bo it, Kesolvod, thnt tho Domooratlo party in national convention nssemblod should do mand the freo nnd unlimited colnago of silver and gold into primary or redemp tion monoy at tho ratio of 10 to 1, without watting for tho action or approval of any other nation.

Believing that n largo majority of tho Democratic voters of tho United States nro In hiinuouy with tho sontimouts ex pressed in tho foregoing address, nnd knowing that a full nnd freo expression of tholr viows can only bo ascortnlnod nnd mado offoctivo through proper organized offorts, wo recommend tho following as a plan for such organization: First There shall bo a nntlonnl com mltteo of Democrats who aro iu favor of both silver and gold as tho monoy of tho constitution, which shall be composed of ono Democrat from each state and terri tory and tho District of Columbia, and tho oxooutlvo commlttoo horolnaf ter pro vided for.

Hlnrlchson of Illinois nnd Casey Young of Tennessee bo tho oxcutlve commltteo, and shall havo full power and authority to appoint n national commlttoo. Tho report of tho commltteo was adoptod without opposition, and aftor listening to a fow brlof speeches the conference ad journed sine die. Sountor Danlol mado tho last spoeoh of tho meeting. Ho said: "I will only say that I am n Democrat, and boing a Demo crat, I could not holp bolng for solid, honest nnd ancient gold and silver money of tho Domocratio party. Tho party of the peoplo must stand for the monoy of tho pooplo. Whom God hath joined togethor plutocraoy shall not put nsundor." Tho executive commltteo held a meet ing Immediately after tho conference closed, but ndjournod without selecting members for the national oommitteo ns authorized by the conference. It was an nounced to bo tho purposo of the commlt teo to organlza tho national commltteo at tho earliest practlcablo dato, but It was thought best to dofor action until sugges tions could bo received from states which wore not represented at the conference.
