publican candidates for Governor. and among tho hills
of Sussex are found strong oear-headed and trust
worthy Republicans Tho candidate for this county IS
Cen Judson Fitzpatrick The General "a well known TO
fame and hos very decided talents with considerable
audacty which displayed in the field and on tho
stump. In his political contest with the weIlknowh
Jack Rogers, supposed to be IN power with the Tam
many Ring Gen. Fitzpatrick his aurels, completely
dcmolishing Jack and his pyrotechnc oratory AS a
locker in Vienna am bound to say that the gahh'
General is not supposed to be Colossus in Judgment
though his brilliant qualities make him formidap'o
candidate and he is backed by the brains OF OLD SdSscA
At single bound we come to West Jersey TINS SEQ

timely death, by accident, all parties mourned called
convention of Trenton, and with the Delmonico band,
carried the City Trenton by storm with these colored
orators at great meeting for human rights and thus
laid the foundation for the next Republican Convention
which adopted Justice to the black man as plank In
their PLATFORM and went before tho people clainoIg
that the triumphant road Of justice should no longer
be watered with tears and their demand was soon an
swered by Congress- which made even-handed justice

In the fight about Senator socktons seat Mr. scoyePs
course was misunderstood but his answering fidelity TO
principle brought him W again In tho hearts OF the
people, whence "the Ring" had endeavored to depose

pieces in Newton township in the Fall OF 1870 to defeat
the will Of the majority, Col scovel dOubequickod his

SIRE In an editorial alusiOn to the spicy let
ter from Elizabeth in yesterdays issue, wisely warn
New Jersey Republicans against selecting candidate
who is tainted with Erie" Allow me to add that our
nosrls are familiar with the infragance that surrounds
gentlemen whose political reputation ia tainted by con-
tact with corruption in other forms and Of such
we have no need. Furthermore divers modest gentle
men there are who would not refuse nomination it
were thrust upon Them gentlemen apparently beyond
the reprOach Of dark ways and vain tricks but whose
friends are urging their selection for the very
that will render them dstasteul TO that very respectable
fraction of voters who are not inside politics." We
don't want candidate chosen because Of his promise
