COYLFS DEFEAT. Whnt Our Ilxchnnges Hnve to Say on the Subject, The crushing defeat of Senator Coyle on Saturday is the subject of much comment, especially by the press of the comity nnd state. The American is the only paper that pretends to seen future for its owner. Be low we give a few culltugs from our exchange list: There Is something really pathetic in the. wall of Senator Coyle over his defeat for delegate to the state convention, ns published In the Mahanoy City American of Saturday, ami wc are verv certain that It would nllnlt for him more than tlio ordinary share of sympathy wmoii is accorded to people In misfortune, If ho would mako n clean con fession of tho causes which contribute to it. It may be that these causes are not qutto as well known to Senator Coylo as to every other person in the county who has taken sulllclent Interest in public affairs to acquaint themselves with his political career, I'ooplo of the mould of Senator Coylo are not likely to discovor in themselvos the potent Instrumentality of their own undoing. Ex cessive vanity is a veil that bliuds tho Dossessor only from a view of himself. Hut Coy le's story of the opposition of tho Beading Company In his last fight for state delegate is not credited by any one. It was not necessary, even if there should have been any desiro to engage opposition to bjs. election. Ite was marked for defeat as soon as ho went into the contest. He wantod a vindication and he got it. Miners' Journal. In tho First District the old leader, and Brumm's henchman. Senator Coylo. fell war outside the breastworks. Coyle weighed him self with Wyatt, the Quay 8ergeant-at-Arms of tho late Legislature. Coyle evidently for got that the people had read about the doings of tho Legislature ; ho reckoned on things etherlal, and to-day stands as a commander without a command, and an applicant for place without hacking. It was a torriblo fall for Coylo, but one which was expected. Under the circumstances there will bo a big scramblo to get undor cover. Pottsvillo Chronicle. If tho beaten candidate for state delegato had taken bis defeat gracefully he would havo been entitled to tho credit of having made a good fight, oveu if defeat closed the day, but his elfort to end the convention in a tight and bis miserable explanation of tbe causes of his defeat, deprive him even of the respect duo to a good fighter. TJie true cause of his defeat was that he had at tempted to play tho role of tho absolute boss, riding rough shod over all who opposed him, until he created a determined opposition which relegated him to the shades of politi cal obscurity. Stop wining I Mahanoy City Kocord. The turning down of Coylo and Wyatt is regarded as especially significant as it will have a bearing on Coyle's candidacy for a re nomination to the Senate next year. Coylo Is also known as the Senator who tried to get $10,000 for a hospital in Mahanoy City that had existence only on paper. The Governor vetoed the bill. Harrisburg Dispatch. On the 10th tho "Republican" dwelt at some length on tho character and claims of Messrs. Brill and Straughn, and both were elected, downing one of tho most tricky pair of politicians iu tho First Ulitrlct benator Coyle and ex-Rcprcsentatiye Wyatt. While we have some regrets to express for others de feated, we are supremely happy that at least three of our loading candidates from the county wero successful in tho contest. Re publican. Tho two Senators from Schuylkill county, Covlo and Losch. as well as tho late Sereoant- at-Anns Wyatt, do not stand very high down there, and it is evident tho record they made in tho lato session Is not palatable to tho people. All three of them were candidates lor delegate to the tortucoming state (Jonven tion. and wero beaten by overwhelming majorities. Tho odious character of tho late Assembly will be the political death of more than one promising statesman. Wllkcsbarro Wows-Dealer. SPECIAL REDUCED RATE.
