4 cIfANGE NEEDED.

We are often told by Democrats that the
Republican party has been in power so long
that it has become corrupt, and that there
should be a change but we have not heard of
any inclination ON their part to vacate their
long hold on Office in this county. Almost
continuously, Hunterdon has been in the power
of the Democracy, and If the rule holds good
the party must by this time be terribly cor
rupt. We know that some of its leaders are,
and that they bargain and sell the nominations
at caucus for their own personal ends, and use
the cloak of party to carry on their selfish
schemes. The result is that it is almost i'm
possible for first-class man to get nomna-
ton for any important Office. Notwithstand-
ing that this Is generally known, there has
been little difficulty In keeping the rank and
file in the traces. One of the cardinal virtues
in the eyes of a simon-pure Hunterdon Demo-
crat has been to vote the straight ticket and
in doing this the party has voted into Office a
great deal of stupidity, ignorance and rascality.
A change is needed, and we think it is coming.
There is now considerable restlessness under
the party yoke, and there is evidence that men
are not inclined to follow party leaders to the
extent of days gone by. We believe that il
the Republican party of the county will make
suitable nominations they will be able to Sc
riously reduce the Democratic vote, if not elec
part Of their ticket.

THE QUESTION DECJDED-LESSONS TO
BE LEARNED.

Tie result of the recent State elections has
decided beyond doubt that Gen. Grant will
be the next President of tile United States
The only question is, how great the majority
shall be-. Horace Greeley, we believe, will be
the worst defeated candidate that was ever
run by great party, and this result will be a
lesson to all future politicians. 1t will teach
them that it docs not pay men to sacrifice
principle for the hope of Office, or parties to
sacrifice principle for the hope of success. The
American people are not fools. They can see
that there is something terribly homogeneous
and dishonest in candidate and party, the
opposites of each other, politically, yet banded
together for the same ends, and neither pro-
Tossing to have changed. This anomalous po-
sition doomed the coalition to defeat from the
start
There is another lesson to be learned from
the recent elections-that the era of great po-
litical leaders has gone by. There was time
when such men as Jackson, Clay and Webster
could lead men wherever they wished. They
had but to sound the charge and their parti-
Fans blindly rushed after them, without ques-
tioning. But not so now. Men follow their
leaders only when they lead right. Mr.. Sum-
ner sounded his battle charge and supposed
that the party that he conceitedly assumes to
have created, would at once obey his orders
Mr.. shurz, Mr.. Greeley and Gen. Banks also
thought that they could lead off thousands Of
followers to the opposite camp, but the result
has been most woful failure. Ex-Gov. Cur
tin, of Pennsylvania, was announced, with &
great flourish of trumpets, as coming out foi
Buckalew, and the "Liberal y and Democratic
press expected that he would carry q large
crowd of followers with him but instead, his
own town and county give largely increased
majority for Hartranft. How are these mighty
fallen 1t win tend, one would suppose, to
humble their pride somewhat, and in Mr..
Summers case to reduce his arrogance and
self-conceit immensely. Let none despair of
our country, while its people have intelligence
and independence enough to think and act for
themselves

A Bold OPERAToR.--0n Friday afternoon,
James Mari, of oldham, England, better
known as "Steeple jack assembled to the top
of the big chimney Of the chemical works in
order to replace the stone coping with iron.
Mr.. Mari makes his ascension without the
aid of either ladder or scaffolding, but secures
a peculiar tackling by means of kite. His
ascension yesterday was the first ever made in
this country by similar means. The chimney
is 100 feet high, and yet it required but three
minutes to reach the top, A large number of
people gathered to witness the novel scene,
and gazed in breathless amazement at the
daring workman, who seemed perfectly at
home at this giddy height. He win make an
other ascension on Tuesday next, and will re-
main up nearly all day.-Ne@ark Register.

E8- The Monmouth Democrat says "A
case determined in our county courts this week
establishes that licensed innkeeper cannot
recover at law for liquors sold over his bar,
whether by small or great measure. That
while any one may engage liz the sale of liquors
by the quart or more, without license, and can
recover for debts contracted in the business,
an inakeeper when he takes license to retail,
becomes in a measure public officer and by
the law regulating his business is debarred
from collecting such debts. This is the first
decision of the courts of this State upon this
subject, and establishes precedent, import
ant to the public as well as TO innkeepers

ADDRESS OF TIE REPUBLICAN, STATE
EyEGUTIPE COMMITTEE.

TO the Union Republican Voters Of Neao Jer-
seq.
JERSEY Cry, Oct 9th.
The result Of the elections yesterday de-
termines beyond all reasonable doubt the is
sue of the National contest in November.
The people, mistaken in their loyalty to the
great principles indicated by the war and en-
grated upon the national policy by Republi-
can legislation will rebuke as it deserves, the
coalition which contemplates nothing less
than the surrender of these principles and the
great gains we have made under them in civil
cation and progress. In this triumph of
Loyalty over Treason, of Principle over Ex-
pcdiency, every New Jersey Republican will
desire to share. To that end the duty of the
hour is obvious. Wemust perfect everywhere
the work of organization awaken the apa-
thetic to a sense of the gravity of the crisis,
and provide i'll every county, town and school
district, for such thorough discussion of the
issue of the canvass that no citizen will be
able TO excuse himself from q performance of
duty. Very much has already been done in
this direction, but we must not be satisfied
Will uIyl uliiS SlOIb VI VIC ubilOSb ciiOIts
There is every reason why New Jersey should
fall into line with the column of Republican
States. The sympathies of our people, upon
a fair presentation of existing issues, are I'M
questionably with the Republican party.
Hundreds of Democrats, who would never
have abandoned their party flag so long
as it represented cherished principles and a
historic record, refuse now to ratify by their
votes the surrender of the party into the
tarles of lifelong enemies /; and seeing that
under Grants administration TIM country has
enjoyed degree of prosperity almost unex-
ampled, and all our great industrial, financial
and commercial interests rest upon safe and
stable foundations, as the result of a wise and
judicious national policy, many of them will
undoubtedly vote with us to perpetuate a rule
whic,, has produced results so cmincntly bene-
ficient.
Thus reinforced, we have but to organize
and poll fun Republican vote to make the
victory certain and place the state where it
belongs-in the galaxy of States which refuse
to apologize for the war against treason, or to
surrender the fruits of that costly struggle.
With triumph clearly within our grasp, we
shall be faithless to every consideration of
patriotism if we neglect to employ every ener-
gy and every legitimate means at our control
to secure the prize. Let the word be ever,
where, in the language of our leader, 'Push
things"

Col Mcclure gives up the fight In an in
terview with a Press reporter, he said he re-
garded the result of the October elections as
settling the fact that the debatable States
would be all against Greeley.
The Philadelphia Eeeaing Bulletin figures
up the majority for Hartranft in Pennsylvania,
mostly official, at 35, TAI. More ring work
The disheartening result of the October
elections has induced the Liberals to shut up
their headquarters in Philadelphia. The por-
traits of Greeley and Brown have been taken
down from the 'front.' the furniture sent to the
auction room, and the place closed forever.
