is an unmistskable gam. Under Democratic RUE

But it was not these facts which drove the oc-
cupants from Office. The issue was olsuhcuy
made az to whether the Cabinet should Do sus-
tanned in enforcing the laws, or whether the
country should be gwen over IT, the Southerh
traitors. We made it square and OPEN ana on
this issue beat them by handsome maJorlhes.
The late Mayor is the reporter for the Associated
Press. vet though up to his eyes in politics, and
knowing we'll how the election went, he tele-
graphed abroad report which did not give the
true version of the result 1t is thus the publ

important business of giving them correct inior-
lnatou is entrusted. No, no! Trenton is sound
on the vital issue Of the day. aud growing sound
er as events unfold themselves. We tolerate no
treason here. The reaction is in the right direc-
tion.
1t was the same way at Paterson, where the
victory we secured was even more decided. Ihe

or treason. and treason was overwhelmingly de-
feated. We carried the entire city ticket. Now,
remember that the Democrats always carried at
the Spring election, that Paterson is mahuiac-
turing city, and has suffered severely from the
common cessation of business. But her working
men understand the cause TO be the Democratic
rebelllon and hence the strong reaction IN favor
of Republicansm and obedience to law. An
equally decisive result was secured at Elizabeth,
where we elected our Mayor aud Use out OF Elk
Councilmen. great parade has been made OF
Democratic success ut Burlington. But that city,
ever since so many journeymen shoemukers have
been employed in II, has been Democratic. The
county, however, is the sheet-anchor OF Repuo-
lcsnism in New.Jersey, and can give 1900
majority whenever it may be needed.

our wares, but because she had 10 money to pay
for them. Our Trenton manufacturers do but a
limited business with the Sontn-Dow and then

all aback when interrupted. But in Newark
