I- THE LOCAL SITUATION Aa iBftilssI Ms sting Waa Held at Pretter Ome Last Might at Wasah the raUewwg fflsls Was Fixed We, "Want They Are. The Democratic County Convention, which will be held In PottsvlU next Monday, promises to be one of the largest and moat Interesting In the history of that party. There are any mount of candidates in the field, and each and every one of them is confident of uc-ccsa.

At no time ha there been such a quiet but earnest canvas tn any political party a that which ts now going en In the DeroocratlJ ranks. It la conceded, by old veteran in the party be the greatest battle for years. There ia, however, a diversion of opinion aa to whom th honor of a nomination will be placed on Monday. As a step In that direction- an important meeting waa bcl-i last night at Deputy Internal Revenue Collector Dan Freller'e offlce In th Esterly building, at which tbe following late was fixed, aad which, it is sup posed, will be successful on Monday! For Congress, W. F.

Shepherd. Potts vllle: -Treasurer, George Folmer. Shen andoah; Prothonotary. Harry Br-adl-gan, Shenandoah; Clerk of the Court John Curran, Can township: Recorder, Fred. Ports, pottsvllle; Register.

Martin, the present incumbent, of Pinegrove: Poor Director. T. M- anyder. West Penn. Whe War Present.

Daniel Fretler. representing Wl F. Shepherd; John Curran and his cousin, -Charles Jr Qulnn, Shenandoah; Postmaster T. C. Connor, Mahanoy City: -Fred.

Ports, John Martin. Commit- sioner, and John F. Whalen, PottsvlUe. It is understood that Mr. Martin was recognised as a sore winner In Monday's convention, and he was' brought into the meeting at tbe last moment.

It will be noticed that Candidate for Treasurer George Folmer, of Shenan doah, was conspicuously absent from this meeting. Mr. roimer very positively aaaerted that he would neither sanction, nor become a party to any; -deal prior to the convention. He was a candidate zor tne omce ot Treasurer, and would make the' fight on his own and the merits of his friends, but would not go into any caucus or deal for the purpose of defeating any particular candidate in the field. It is openly asserted that tbe purpose and object of last night's meeting was to se-cure the nomination of John Curran.

of Cass township, for Clerk of th-. Courts over Phil ConnelL There to be a strong movement on foot In favor of Curran, and nothing will foe If ft ur.done to nave ham nominated. In. the lace of the action of last night's caucus Mr. Connell's peace of mind Is not disturbed, and.

like Mr. Folmer, will make an honest aod conscientious fight for the offlc of Clerk of the Courts, and lf he loses wllLbov tn humble submis- sion -to the will of the convention. His fight, however, goes on all the same. and will be kept up until the last mo- ment, The slate, aa above given, will create surprise among other candidate, who are equally as confident of success as those named at last night meeting.

Th Republican nominee will be called together next Saturday, (within ten day after tb last nomination the party rut provides), to select the Chairman who La to manage thia year's campaign.

Owing to the fact that the Brumnt "i and Loach actiona control about an equal number -of the nominees moch interest is being centred in the contest new on for party leadership. The Bruram people are actively at work, while Loach. Sc brink. White bouse et L. are at th seashore.

The talk Is that lirumm first requested Arthur Shay to let his name be need. Shay formerly was a political protege of Dick Koch's, but of late years has been somewhat of a follower of the MtnersvUIe office "There are -other," however, and they tell Brumm that Shay Isn't tbe man, and these ar in town advocating Reuben Barto, of Pinegrove. Some people may have thought that all the "Reubens" were Populists, and Silverite. but th -Pinegrove Reuben Is still a follower of Brumm' poUtical aggregation and aa such would make a strong candidate for Chairmen. S.

Kurd Edwards has been advocated by some of the nominee, but Brumm plainly Intimates that can't twist Edwards a he is too close to Pete Helms. The truth of the matter Is that Brumm thought he bad Edwards solid when he agreed to the latter being made chairman of last Monday's convention, and Edwards was instructed by Brumm to appoint a silverite committee to look After tbe financial resolutions, at least so the story is. but the Middle Warders at- euceeeot a delegation headed by the veteran A. B. Cochran.

to Edwards telling him that he should stand by hla ward and do hla utmost to have the convention pass a gold resolution Edwards appointed bis committee accordingly and against fininn'l wishes. That's how tbe County Convention resolutions were made so nice and pointed, and that's one cT several reasons why lirumm Is crone at Edward. So Burd will hardly be selected Chairman this time. Among the other possibilities for selection aa chairman are Geo. M.

Washington, D. Aug. 8. The proof sheets of the first part ot the Republican campaign book nave been received at headquarters. The sheets comprise 145 pages, and the book, when completed, will form a volume of about' 400 pagea It is probable that It will be ready for distribution early next week.

The title page contains two quotations, one from Mr. McKinley.s- aa follows: "The Republican stands for honest and a chance-to earn The other Is from Lincoln, and reads: "That some may be rich shows that- others may become rich, and hence is just encouragement to industry and- enterprise. Not him who is homeless pull down the house of another, but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built." The subject matter of the book, so far as it appears tn print, deals with a great variety of the topics, and is presented in an attractive manner. The committee believes that the whole volume will be valuable as a reference book for speakers and aa a guide for those who are endeavoring to acquaint themselves with the current questions of the day. Among the latter thus presented under appropriate heads are strong quotations from leading Democratic giving the reasons why they do not support the Chicago tickets; an article on American Advancement, with argument against a change in the financial system; quotations from the message of President Harrison for Dee.

Des Moines, la, Aug. t. After a brief rest, hardly sufficient for rest from fatigue of yesterday. Wm. Jennings Bryan rose at 6-M o'clock thia morning and at (:50 left Dea Moines over the Rocky Island for Chicago, a journey of thirteen hoars ahead of him and the prospect of being obliged to deliver a speech after bis arrival in the Western metropolis.

Th day's programme called for the hardest work laid out by the candidate and in connection with his progress to New Tork. The train which be selected runs on a schedule for a stop at every stand between Des Moines and Chicago, and th short stop last night and early rising this morning hardly left Mr. Bryan In oondition for doing thirteen hours of campaign work on a summer's day. Mr. Bryan Is very much pleased with last night's demonstration in his honor and so expressed himself to a representative of th United Associated Press.

It is said that the crowd In the spacious tabernacle far exceeded In number the supposed utmost capacity -of the nail and estimate of the aixe of the audience ran aa high as 7.000. Tbe demonstration was the greatest accorded Mr. Bryan since he left the Monday following his' nomination not excepting those at Ksnsas City and Lincoln. Igv it my OSlee seekers. A hopeful office" seeker tackled Mr.

Bryan on the 'train between Stuart and Des Moines. He is T. G. Wheeler, of this city. He exclaimed to Mr.

Bryan that he had been a Jackson Democrat and a Lincoln Republican and was now a Bill Bryan silverite. During President Lincoln's administration Mr. Wheeler been gardener at the White House, according to his story, and ha asked Mr. Bryan to reinstate him In that position lf elected. Mr.

Bryan said that he was not making promises during the campaign, but Mr. Wheeler says this will not deter him from filling bis application- at once. Des Moines had a day of it yesterday. A free silver meeting was held this afternoon, at which addresses were made by Gen- J. B.

Weaver and M. 8. P. Came, the populist candidate for Governor. A unique feature of the meeting was a prefatory parade composed largely of farmers wagons, loaded with produce" and having painted on their aides tbe prevailing prices of corn, oats, wheat and other articles raised by the owners of the wagons.

People Cheer the Caadidate. Grinnell, Iowa. Although the hour when Mr. Bryan departed from Des Moines was sufficiently early to quell enthusiasm in most people, quite a crowd gathered at the railway station. They cheered- as th train drew out.

Mr. Bryan and the members of his party chartered the Pullman sleeper attached to 1 -Tin" i make the Journey in mini if greater com fort than yesterday when the nominees car was crowded most of the time: The first bigvcrowd gathered to see the Dem ocratic candidate at Colfax, a town of people, twenty-three miles from Des Moines, which was reached Just before eight o'clock. At Altoona, 11 miles from Des Moines, the first stop was made- A Tot of people shook hands with Mr. Bryan and at. Mltchellsville fully' 200 were assembled to see and cheer him.

General J. P. who accompanied Mr. Bryan from Des Moines to Newton, introduced the nominee to the people of Colfax, his home. The people were packed In and about the station like sardines and they pressed closely around the nominee's car as be.

began to address them. Bis speeeh Cat Snort. Unfortunatel the remarks, as Mr. Bryan intended to deliver them, were cut! short by the engineer, who pulled the throttle and started the train according to schedule. This is what he managed to say: "Ladies and gentlemen: I am very glad to greet the people who live at General Weaver's home.

He was a pioneer in this work and was talking for free silver long before it had come to the attention of a great many of ua. And I never think of one of those pioneers, who bears out the way, and of the abuse generally heaped upon the pioneer, without remembering what somebody said a year or so ago, that when one person says a thing he was called a fanatic; when a great many say It he became an enthusiast; whenever everybody says it he became a hero." (Laughter and great Aadreaaas a PepelisU Gatfcerieg. Another big crowd turned out to where a Populist conference is being held today. The Newton people are very full of enthusiasm and succeeded in getting a brief speech from Mr. Bryan.

He said: "Ladies and gentlemen: I am glad to see you and I believe this is Newton. Tour town bears the name of a man who is given credit for stating the law of gravitation. If you throw a stone in the air you say it will come down. Because it is drawn toward the centre of earth. The law upon which we base our fight is as sure as that.

If we have a gold standard, prices will go down." (Great cheering.) Kelogg turned out its quoto of enthusiasts. At Grinnell the nominees train remained at the station 15 minute and gave Mr. Bryan a chance to respond to the demands for a speech without the necessity for cutting it short to fit schedule.
