The Kind You Have Always Bought
POLITICAL POINTERS.
Ex-Attorney General H. W. Palmer,
of Wilkesbarre, who in past years
made a brilliant record for himself by
ids consistent and Influential opposition
to machine politics and corruption in
his own party, Is now the laughing stock
of the state. Somebody hung up the
judgeship bait before him as a tempta
tion to remain loyal lo Quay and Stone,
and, In spitu of his grand record as a
reformer and as one of tho Quay's stead
fast enemies, he nibbled and fell an easy
victim to ambition. First, is an un
delivered speech at Philadelphia on the
15th Inst., which by mistake was printed
next day, he said some tilings regarding
leglslailve abuses which grated harshly
upon the nerves of Quay I tes. For this he
was promptly checked, and to redeem
himself In the eyes of his new bedfellows
he delivered another speech In the same
city Friday ovofiing and In It roudly
berated the Palmer of old, lauded Quay
and Stone and all the isms they stand
for. lie outdid Senator Penrose, who
spoke the same night, in Ills love for the
Boss, and them waited for his reward.
And "Hank" got it—where all traitors
to principle get it. On Tuesday llalsey
was made judge.
The Philadelphia Prexx says that "a
conservative estimate of Montgomery
county shows that Jcnks will carry it
by at least 2,000 majority and t hut
every Quay candidate for tho legisla
ture will bo defeated." McKinley car
ried Montgomery "by 7.944. The same
paper says tho indications in Chester
county aro that all of Quay's legislative
candidates will lose, that Jonks' vote
will be larger than Stone's and that
Swallow's majority will bo about 2,800.
Tho county gavo McKinley a majority
of 8,174. These sample estimates from
tile foremost Republican newspaper in
Pennsylvania tell their own story.
Tho oflicial ballot will contain nine
columns, tho Republican, Democratic,
Prohibition, People's, Liberty, Honest
Government, Socialist Labor, Citizens'
and a blank. Rev. Swallow's name
heads tho Prohibitionist, People's,
Liberty and Honest Government tickets
for governor. Judge Trickett is on tho
Democratic, Prohibition, People's and
Liberty tickets for superior court judge.
JerrytN. Wollor is on tho Democratic
and People's tickets for congrcssman-nt
largc. Justus YVatkins is on the
People's and Liberty tickets for lieuten
ant governor.
If a little more ginger is injected in the
legislative contest Sheridan will win.
Evans, tho Honest Government candi
date, is going to poll a largo vote In the
South Side districts of Ilazle township,
and a fair vote iu Hazleton and Freeland
and is not without friends in Foster.
As nine-tenths of Ids vote will come
from Republicans who want Quayism
overthrown, tho Democratic voto is
large enough to elect Shlridan, if Ids
friends go to the polls.
McGlnty, being the strongest candi
date on tho Democratic county ticket,
lias been selected as tho target for all
the venomous shafts of the Republican
press. Tho days are gone by, however,
when scurrilous vaporlngs from organs
which can swallow Quay aro given con
sideration by honest pcoplo. Not a
word darn bo said against Joe McGlnty's
private or public record, and tho froth-
Ings of the scribblers will not cost him a
vote.
Bernard Ferry, of Butte, a brother of
School Director Jamos B. Ferry, is a
candidate for the Montana legislature
on the Fusion ticket in Silver Bow
county. Barnny is a young man who
has taken good care of himself since
going West, and ids Freeland friends
hope lo hear of his success in tho politi
cal arena.
Charles J. Boyle, of Plymouth, who
made many friends last summer during
his canvass for tho Democratic nomina
tion of recorder, died at Ids homo on
Monday from typhoid fever, aged 38
yoars. He was a prominent business
man and politician of Plymouth, and
had many friends throughout tho
county.
Independent Republicans in town
consorvativnly estimate that Swallow
will poll 200 votes in thn borough. They
claim that his voto will largely exceed
Stone's in the Fourth ward and prob
ably in tho First, and oxpect to give
him a close chase In tho Second and
Third wards and Second district of the
South ward.
In a lengthy editorial yesterday tho
Philadelphia Time*, Swallow's leading
supporter, concedes that Jenks' election
is not only posslblo but vory probable.

DRIFTON ITEMS.
After continuous service of a quarter
of a century, less one year, John Cun
nfngham, foreman of the machine shops
of tho Coxe Iron Manufacturing Com
pany, has resigned his position and the
same will take effect on the 31st inst.
Mr. Cunningham is one of the foremen
of the old school, uow so few in Drifton,
for whom men took a pleasure iu work
ing because he treated them as human
beings instead of the latter day style of
driving them like slaves. Drifton shops,
with his departure, lose an able super
intendent and t.ljo town a citizen esteem
ed by all classes. Mr. Cunningham, it
is said, has offers of three similar posi
tions, and while he lias not yet decided
it is likely he will go to Boston.
UalseyV appointment to tho judgeship
of Luzerne county fell like a thunder
slap on the political clique here. Whea
ton iiad received the unanimous en
dorsement of what in certain circles is
known as tho "Drifton gang," and the
news that the governor failed to obey
their "request" tu place their favorite
on the bench stunned them. Since
Hastings favored the Drifton crowd
with the new county veto they have
talked very confidently of their "pull"
at Ilarrlsburg and acted as though they
ownod tho chief executive of the state,
but yesterday's announcement rudely
awakened them.
Sulphur fumes from a locio in No. l
mine yesterday nearly suffocated Robert
Gillespie and Frank Gillespie, an engi

William Raskin, who is recovering from
a similar attack. The recovery of the
young men was in doubt for awhile.
The sulphur is caused by the dirt which
the company insists being burned in the
locies instead of providing coal for the
purpose.

Since that time lie lias closely scanned
every set of harness ho saw anil notified
the saddlers of the region to keep a look
out for his property. A week ago
George Wise reported that the harness
had arrived at Ills Freeland shop for
repairs. Mr. Scliwabe then began a
search for the guilty party.
It was learned that tlio harness was
considered the property of Joe Itirkbeek.
The latter promptly proved that he
purchased the goods from Louis Snyder,
of Butler, for sls. Mr. Snyder, in turn,
furnished evidenco that ho had traded
the harness for another set with Fred
Horn. Mr. Horn alleged that ho bought
it from a Hungarian in Upper Lehigh
swamp on Ills way homo from the Grand
Army celebration hero.
Failing to produce the Hun, Mr. Horn
was askud on Monday cvonlng by Squire
Buckley to furnish S3OO bail for his
appearance at court. This he also
failed to do, and the next day lie was
taken to Wilkesharro. The council

HALSEY IS THE JUDGE.
APPOINTED BY GOVERNOR HAST
INGS ON TUESDAY.
The White Haven Fumlidnte for the Late
Judge liennett's Seat, on the Item-h
Kasilv Wun Against Attorney Wheaton
and u Few Dark Horses- His Career.
Governor Hastings on Tuesday after
noon appointed (lanis L. Halsey, of
White liaven, as common pleas judge of
Luzerne county, to lill the vacancy
caused by the recent death of Lyman H.
Dennett.
The contest for the appointment was
short but a sharp one. During the past
w-oek It narrowed down to Attorney
Halsey, of White Haven, and Attorney
Frank Wheaton, of Wilkesbarre. These
two wore before the public as candidates,
but it is known that others were fondly
hoping they would bo accepted as com
promise candidates if tho Halsey-Whoa
ton struggle continued much longer,
and It Is asserted iu political circles that
ox-Attorney General Palmer was not
without a promise that the plum might
be his.
Hotli Halsey and Wheaton were
strongly supported by their fellow at
torneys in the county. Among the
business element iu the upper end they
were equally favored with Indorsements.
11l the lower end Halsey was almost the
unanimous choice of these people.
With the corporations, however, Whea
ton had a tremendous advantage, and
their power and Influence was exerted in
his behalf in a manner which made his
appointment seem imminent. His affi
liation with tho Quay faction of the
party, and tho report that the governor
and tho senator had settled tho differ
ences, further strengthened the belief
that Wheaton would be named.
Nevertheless, tho aiitl-Quayltos and
anti-corporation citizens of tho county
continued to battle for Halsey, and on
Tuesday tho governor announced his
decision as above.
Sketch of Ills Cuieer.
Gains Leonard Halsey was born at
Nesquehoning, Carbon county, on July
12, 1845. His ancestors wore English,
the lirst of his branch of the Halsey
family coming hero in 1U37. Thoy set
tled at Lynn, Mass., and later at
Southampton, in the same state, where
many of them still reside. Others live
in New York state, whore a village lias j
been named after the family, others j
drifted to New Jersey and some to I
Pennsylvania. Mr. Ilalsey's great
grand-fathers were soldiors in the rev- !
olutionary war and one was rewarded
by the continental congress for bravery.
Among the prominent descendants of
the llalsey family was Roscoo Conkilug,
of New York. Tho father of Attorney
Halsey was Dr. Richard Church Halsey,
who was married to Miss Anna Sprowl,
of Chester county, a member of the
Society of Friends. They (irst located
at White Haven, hut aftor a few years |
there removed to Nesquehoning.
Mr. Halsey was educated at Wilkes
barre academy, Clinton, N. Y., Institute
and Tuft's college, Modford, Mass. Ho
taught school at Canton, Mass., and at
White Haven. In ISGO lie went to
Washington, where until 1809 lie was
engaged as a stenographer. In 1870 he
was a stenographer for the Legiehitire ;
Record at Ilarrisburg and in the follow
ing year was assistant scrgeant-at-arms
in the house of representatives. Later
he filled tho position of transcribing
clerk in the house. He studied law i
with Lyman Hakes and Charles E. Rice, j
and was admitted to the bur or Luzerne !
county, September 9, 1872. Mr. llalsey
was married on April 17, 1882, to Snraii
Elizabeth Levan, a daughter of John
W. Levan, of White Haven. In politics
Mr. Halsey is a Republican, but not a
partisan. His rocord as an attorney is
clean and commendable, and the same
Is expected of him while ho occupies a
