The Democratic Heads Are Not Resting
on Roses.
WHY MANY LEADERS FEEL SORE.
The Party Will Have Plenty of Trouble With
Curran, Brennau, McGInness, Kennedy,
Erapf, Rltz, Mullahy and Their
Friends Kicking Over tho Traces.
Special Hkuald Cnrrc-pmidenee.
1'ottsvii.lk, Aug. 1 1. Somo of our Demo
cratic friends urn indulging in considerable
misleading and empty enthusiasm. 1 could
havo said this immediately after tho closo of
tho Democratic county convention, but fol
lowing tho advico of soino conservative and
knowing politicians I concluded to wait until
ttio heat of victory had cooled somewhat
before putting my impressions in black and
white. Having done' tins I find tbo im
pression still remains and tho Hi:u.u.li
readers can pin their faith on tho picdlction
that tho rays ot tho sun on the niurnlug of
November 4th, noxt, will beat upon tho de
funct bodies, figuratively speaking, of many
of tho Democratic candidates who look upon
their nomination as an election. Many a
now enthusiastic Democrat will havo occasion
to turu as Julius Caesar did Just after being
punctured in tho back by llrutus and ask
"Who did mo dirt?"
I say this knowing that in somo paits of
tho county thero aro prominent Democrats
who aro satisfied that they will carry this
county for both tho national and county
tickets by from 3,000 to 5,000 majority. They
feel confident that tho Greenback element
will bring about this result. Hut allow mo
to say that whatever cll'ect this element may
havo in assisting Shepherd and his (lock will
bo fully counteracted by tho disgruntled
Democrats who will rally under tho ltcpub
lican standard, and that tho Ifepublicans will
at least elect u majority of their county
ticket.
It may bo interesting to fomo peoplo to
know tho foundation upon which my belief
and prediction rest. I havo no objections.to
making it known, but to do so must repeat a
little of recent history. It touches upon tho
deal by which many of tho most active Dem
ocratic workers of the county wero laid cold
and low, but not so low that their cries of
vengeaneo cannot bo heard. When W. J.
Kennedy, of this town, got into tho fight for
l'rothonotary Watson 1 Shepherd kicked.
IIo was boss and had promised tho uomiua
tion for llecorder to Fred. I'ortz, also of this
place, and ho argued that to kill Kennedy
and mako his promise to I'ortz good it would
bo necessary to mako somo man north of tho
llroad mountain l'rothonotary. I!itz, of
Ashland, was persuaded to get Into tho fight.
Ho entered it a strong man, as it was any
thing to down Dcegan, as well as to mako
good Shepherd's promise It was also claimed
that If an Ashland man was not nominated
to fight Dcegau tho Democratic ticket would
loso thrco hundred votes in that placo. Not
withstanding tho plausibility of these argu
ments tho statesmen from Shenandoah and
llutlor township and Postmaster O'Connor, of
Mahanoy City, cauio down hero and lm
pressed upon tho wall paper syndicate tho
necessity of putting Harry llradlgan, of
Shenandoah, on tho ticket for l'rothonotary.
They urged that llradigan's brother was tho
superintendent of mines at Shenandoah and
could wield a powerful influence ; that Harry
could hold tho American clement and his
brother would seo that tho foreign element
would too tho scratch, and thus Dcegau
would meet with overwhelming odds. Shep
herd thought tho matter over and finally
concluded to throw down Thomas J. Mullahy
tho Shenandoah candidato for llecorder, and
let llradlgan come forth ns candidate for
l'rothonotary. Of course, this also meant a
throw down for Ivitz.
Dan llronnan, Harney McGInness nud Tom
Mullahy got wind of what was going on and
thoy made a demand in a body that, if
Mullahy was to bo side-tracked, Urcnnan and
McGInness should bo given a fair show to
fight for tho County Commissioncrships; but
their pleas wero of no avail. Mullahy, Me-
Glnness and Iireuuan m.ulo a light for six
months and spent a combined sum of $1,800
only to nominato tho 12-hour candidato
llradlgan, who did not havo his cards printed
until 8 o'clock on tho Sunday morning pre
ceding tho election and did not spend u cent
in tho campaign beforo arriving at I'ottsville.
Is it surprising that tho defeat of Urcnnan,
Mullahy and McGInness under theso circum
stances has aroused their friends nud that
thoy positively refuso to support any of tho
slato ' candidates?
Hut tho bitterness is not restricted to this
trio and their friends. Thero is poor Curran.
IIo, too, was in tho campaign for months and
was as suro of nomination for Clerk of tho
Courts us any man who ever allowed his
namo to go beforo a convention, but ho died
at tho hands of his friends, tho wall-paper
syndicate, nud to thorn alono can ho nttributo
his defeat. Their duplicity, avarico and
stubbornness so disgusted and enraged tho
Med innoss, Urcnnan and Mullahy factions
that when they saw tho syndlcato was de
termined to push tho eleventh-hour deal
they positively refused to vote, and Curran
fell. Somo may think that Curran blamed
tho Shenandoah trio, but ho didn't; ho
understood tho situation well. After his
nomination Gcorgo Foliuer, tho candidate for
Treasurer, walked up to Curran and ollered
to shako-hands. Curran not only bluntly re
fused to accept tho friendly oll'oring, but also
supplemented tho rebufl with violent
languago and would havo assaulted tho caudl-
datoif it wero not for tho iuterfeienco of
soino cool-headed bystanders. No member of
the wall-paper syndicate or any ouo who had
gained by its machinations, could shake
hands with Curran, and ho is ns hot to-day as
ho was at that time.
In justico to tho old cattle dealer from
north of tho mountain, It should bo stated
that at two o'clock in tho morning on tho
day of tho convention ho said that if tho
snydicato wanted to get a mato fou him from
Shenandoah ho wanted either Mullahy,
lirennan, or McGInness. Ho had positively
refused to attend tho syndicate's meeting on
tho previous Friday night at I'ottsville, when
tho slato was tnado, saying that he was de
feated a year ago aud could not afford to bo
defeated again,
I have it froni excellent authority that
thcio is no way in which tho trouble can bo
healed. Tho feeling is exceptionally bitter
for tho reason tlifCt tho disappointed and dis
contented factions feel that a irreparable in
justice was douo by not making up tho slato
from the candidates who made tho fight for
the first threo or six months and had tho
strength to win if given a fair field. Meyers
was not a candidato until tho Wednesday ho
foro tho convention, and was brought into the
field by telegraph.
An influential Democrat says tho party
cannot afford to elect tho ticket. It would
simply mean that candidates must either bo
of the eleventh-hour kind, or a kicker, as
I. J. l erguson, of Lost Crock, was thrco
years ago.
This informant tells mo also that Shepherd
has as much show of defeating llrumm next
fall as a school boy has to bo elected to Con
gress next June, and that tho responsibility
for tho results that will follow next fall will
lie with Shepherd, ex-Senator King, of Potts-
villej C. J. (Julim, of Shenandoah; Post
master O'Connor, of Mnhanoy City; Mlko
Geary, ot lSutlcr; John V. Whalcn, of I'otts
ville, and M. P. Qulnn, of the same placo.
Theso ho classes an tho principal ornaments
of tho wall-paper syndicate. Ho goes farther
with tho prediction that tho Kcpiibllcans will
elect their two candidates for County Com
missioner nud that Martin can take things
easy, as Ferguson will bo knifed In all direc
tions, for the reason that he bolted tho ticket
threo years ago.
I havo information from another rcllablo
source that the feeling at Ashland on tho
Democratic sido of tho houso is so Intense
that lientz and Dcegan will get 1,000 majority
in that borough. An Ashland opponent was
wanted against Dcegau, nud it was for that
reason that Krapf and UiU got into tho
fight.
I boliovo I havo given sullicicnt hero to
show that tho Democracy is united in this
county nit. And I will give tho Hkiialu
readers another pointor. Many of tho most
prominent leaders who weio in attendance at
tho county Democratic convention when tho
Chicago platform was endorsed aro blowing
gold-lined silver trumpets. Among them aro
George J. Wndlinger, Esq. and ex-Senator
King. It is only recently that Shepherd has
becomo a freo silver advocate and I doubt
that ho is seriously ono now. John F.
Whalcn is a pronounced gold man. IIo could
havo had tho nomination for Congress, but
ho would not tako it on a free-silver platter.
Time is file that wears and makes no noise.

His Accidental flectlnp With Arctic
Explorer Jackson.
A JOYFUL GREETING ON THE ICE
Tho Norwegian Explorer Had For a Long
Time Been Living In a Hut Quite
Closo to One of tho English
Explorer's Stations.
Vauik), Norway, Aug. 15,-Thocnptnlnol
tho Windward, tho llritish steamer which
has just returned from Fnmz Jnsctlnnd af
ter tnkinp; suppllos to tho Hrltlsh North
I'olo oxpedltlon commanded by Jackson,
and known ns tho Jackson -Hnrmsworth
oxiiodltlon, filed a telegraphic mossago here
describing tho Joyful meeting between
Jackson nnd Dr. Nansen, und forming one
of tho most remarkable incidents in tliohls
tory of Arctic exploration, for It npponr.
that tho Norwegian explorer had lieen liv
ing in a hut quite closo to ono of tho En
glish explorer's stations for n long time
previous U tho meeting of tho two men,
yet not either of them was aware of the
other's presence in that vicinity.
In this mcssago Jackson dcscrllies his
accidental meeting with Dr. Nnnsen while
tho latter was traversing tho ico pack, nnd
it appears that It was u lucky meeting foi
tho Norwegian oxploror, ns tho latter win
misled owing to inaccuracies In tho map
drawn by Payor, tho discoverer of Franz
Joscfinnd, and also because Dr. Nanson's
two chronometers anil his watch having
stopped, ho was qulto unablo to establish
his position, and was consequently trying
to march westward to Spitsbergen over
tho lco pack, which was not only highly
dangerous, but probably Impossible Jack
son, after meeting Nanson, conducted tho
lnttcr to Klmwood, tho headquarters nf
tho British oxpedltlon, where tho doctor
awaited tho arrival ot tho Windward,
which left tho Thames on June 10 and
Vardo on Juno 2d to tako Mippllos to the
Jackson oxpedltlon, and not to bring them
back, as currently reported.
Jackson, In tho dispatch filed by tho cap
tain of tho Windward, said :
"On Juno 17, I mot Dr. Nanson thrco
miles out cm a lloo, south southeast of
Capo Flora, and under most extraordi
nary clrcumstnucos. Ho had wintered In a
rough hut within a mile or two of our
northern limit In 1S05, and this spring wo
unwittingly camo within a fow Tulles of
his winter quarters.
"Dr. Nansen left tho Frnm with ono
companion, Lieutenant Slgnrd Scott Han
son, a lieutenant in tho Norwegian navy
nml director of tho astronomical, meteoro
logical and magnetic observations, and
reached latitude 11, traveling northeast
from whero ho left tho Frain, which was
in 81 north, KM east
"Dr. Nansen expressed tho greatest sur
prise and tho liveliest satisfaction ut meet
ing with us. You understand how greatly
tho meeting affected mo, and my pleasure
at tho extraordinary chanco which had
thrown it in my way to render him ser
vice and restore him to his friends."
Jackson then doscrlbcs his own exper
iences on exploring tho western parts of
Franz Josolland, tolling how ho had
drawn extensive, accurate maps und has
discovered now regions, adding:
"When tho Windward loft In 189.5 wo
wont on a month's oxpedltlon to tho north
west in a littlo boat, tho Mary Harms
worth, and discovered n largo tract of land
to tho westward, hitherto unknown lim
its, and a magnificent headland composed
of ice. from its summit to Its foot, and
having nt its base a hugo, unnegotliiblo
rampart of ico. Wo named it Harnihworth
capo, and only npproaohed tho base of tho
headland with tho greatest difllculty, ow
ing to surging masses of heavy ice and
furious galos, during which our boat was
upon several occasions nearly smashed to
atoms. Wo landed on tho const as often
ns possible, and ascondod tho highest
peaks and mado numerous geological and
botanical collections.
"Far up Cambrldgo bay wo discovered
another lofty ico headland, and named it
Capo Fritjof Nanson. Thero our boat was
nearly lost, owing to her boa anchor hav
ing carried away, and a hugo block of lco
which was swerving round stovo in sev
eral of her planks, lint we managed to
bale her out and rig nnothor anchor. Wo
had altogether a very oxclting voyage.
"This spring lias been phonomeunlly
mild. Although wo marched north a great
distance, ustng sixteen dogs aud a pony,
wo mot after a fortnight open water,
reaching from tho face of a hugo glacier
oast to tho precipitous end of another hugo
glacier west. Advance by sleds was thus
cut oil. Wo then struck southeast down
Markhnm sound, nnd added greatly to our
discoveries of lb'J5. Hut we wero again
stopped by open wator, reaching entirely
across tho sound, so wo turned westward,
and succeeded In exploring the ontlro
westward shoros.
"During April torrlfio snow storms,
coupled with rKos In tho temperature, en
tirely broko up tho ico and prevented
marching; but wo tooku number of valu
able photographs."
It is believed horo that tho Frnm may
turn up horo or nt Uergen shortly.
Professor Mohn says that tho scientific
results of Dr. Nansen's observations aro
magnificent, and that several Islands havo
been discovered. Dr. Nansen, lu describ
ing their life during the winter of 1805-90,
tsuld:
"When tho bears' flosh had boon ex
hausted wo wore obliged to kill tho wouk
est dogs to feed tho othors aud continue
thus until tho whole pack had been slaugh
tered. My bolf and my companions stnrted
in tho direction of Spitsbergen on May 10.
After that we occupied six weoks on snow
shoes, drugging sledges and kayaks (the
Arctic cuuoo), loaded on sledges, after us.
Wo wont partly ovorlaud and partly over
sen ico. I left tho Fram in good condition
und drifting, locked in tho lco.
"Mr. Jackson proposes to remain In tho
Arctio regions until noxt summor, with
tho lutoutlou of pushing furthor north.
Jackson and his companions are in excel
lent health and spirits und full of hope as
to tho results of thoir oxpodltion."
