Thoro was a second outburst of cheering

Ho spoko In substnnco as follows:
"Mr. Chairman, ladles nnd gontlomen,

as to whether tho powers of this govern

not differ. It is ono of morals and of jus

FACTIONAL FIGHTS SHOULD CEASE
Tho Appointment of Secretaries by Chair
man Edwards May Cause Trouble That
Should by All Means be Avoided.
Major Losch's Greed for Power.
Special Heralii Correspondence.
Pottsvii.le, Aug. 18. In my last letter I
had to deal with our friends the enemy and
their household troubles. This timo wohavo
troubles of our own, at least 0110 or two al
leged Kcpublicnn newspapers aro trying to
caii90 dissatisfaction, assisted materially by
monwhohavo not occupied a scat on tho
party bandwagon for so long, that now that
they luivo been allowed a llttlo authority aro
willing to sncrifico tho party's interests to
satisfy a personal animosity.
This is all wrong. It is neither fair to
County Chairman Edwards nor to those
candidates whoso names appear on tho ticket
as the party's standard-bearers. I know
from personal knowledge that Mr. Edwards
accepted tho position of county chairman
wUh great reluctance. Ho fully realized,
and does so to-day, tho responsibilities ho
assumed, and ho asks tho co-operation of tho
party newspapers and workers. Tins ho
should recelvo, but ho should not be dis
appointed because the l'ottsvillo Republican
tho very naino of which is a misnomer
has gmsicd tho opportunity to display its
spleen against ono of the party's nominees.
Tho Republican has not supported tho
party ticket for so long that it now finds
itself in tho position of n political outcast.
In its endeavor this year to assume tho
position of tho prodigal sou, it found tho
fatted calf wanting. Tho candidates and
voters doubted its sincerity, and now the
editor is trying to create dissatisfaction
within tho ranks on tho very evo of the
opening of tho campaign. My advice to
Chairman Edwards is to pay no attention to
tho pscudo Republican sheet. The battles of
tho past have been won witli tho paper ar
rayed against tho ticket, and he can do the
samo tbiug this time. Hush money will
prove a useless expenditure in that diiection.
A great many Republicans appear to bo
surprised at tho promptness of the bald
headed statesman from Schuylkill Haven,
now that ho has himself been permitted to
"ride in tho band wagon" once more, in
endeavoring to provido good scats in tho same
vehiclo fur his followers. Samuel, like the
immortal Sairy Gump, has 'opes. In fact,
he has been lUing on hopes so long that any-
0110 of a less sauguiuo temperament would
have died in despair long ago. But, however
that may be, ho lias carried ins point
in tho naming of the county chairman
thereby scoring a point against hi
quondoui adversary, Coiigicssiuau Ilnimm.
aud his friend, Senator C'oyle, who
have had tho county orgauizatiun just
as they wanted it for some time past. But
tempora mutantir, aud people change with it
Tho chango in tho present case lands the
Hon. bam on top. Not satisfied with captur
iug tho county chairmanship he wants to
name tho secretaries also. This, too, would
be all right, if tho selections ho made wero
such as to commend themselves to tho mass
of voters. But unfortunately they do not,
and tho Hon. Sam should, profiting by his
past experience, get into line at once, drop
tho men he has endeavored to furco into tho
positionsand select others who will be ac
ceptable to all factions, more especially accept
able to all tho candidates.
Whilo tho selection of Chairman Edwards
is a victory for thoso who oppose tho Iirutmn-
Coylo faction, and is recognized by tho latter
as a bitter defeat, the fruits of that victory
should bo deferred and set aside until after
November, The Republican party lias a con
test to meet that will require tho united
support of all factions of tho party if victory
in November is desired. This cannot bo
'accomplished if tho party is divided. Roth
factions have representatives upon tho ticket,
and that fact should bo an incentive for each
to lay aside their "pruning kuives" and work
together in harmony.
Chairman Edwards, too, should not permit
himself to bo led Into making such a mistake
at tho beginning of his career as to allow him
self to bo used ns the creature of any one
man, whether that man bo tho leader of one
faction or another. As to tho twaddle pub
lished in some papers about the capture of
tho organization by tho anti-(Juay wing of
the party, that is hardly worth noticing
further than to say that if Mr. I.osch had
not been acceptable to tho friends of Senator
Quay he would not have been on the slato
for Senator. Hut tho lion. Sam should, of all
tho politicians of Schuylkill, be tho last to
lose his head over his first success in many
years to rido rough-shod over his opponents,
as It appears ho is now disposed to do.
The gentlemen named for secretaries are,
no doubt, estlmablo men, but ono of them
is entirely unknown and of 110 weight rolitl
cally and of no experience, whilo tho other
is, I am Informed, unacceptable to several of
the candidates.
Chairman Edwards should go slow, very
slow-, as there will bo more campaigns to
handle, after this one, and his appointments
should bo such as will cause no friction nor
add to tho difficulties of a campaign that will
bo difficult enough to handle without adding
mora to them. Hex.
