ADDRESS TO THE VOTERS OF THE COUNTY.
The following is the address issued to the peo-
pie Of Sussex county, by the Committee Of the
recent Republican Convention
TO THE VOTERS OF SUSSEX COUNTY.
Feloto Citizens 1T is not necessary to re-
mind you that your taIes are now more than
ttoiee as much as formerly. This you all realize
when the tax-gathsrer makes his annual demand
upon you. Now the question we would like you
to ask yourselves, is, what have We, more than
formerly, to show for all the money exacted OF
us2 Are your roads any better2 Are your poor
any better provided for? Are yOnr assessments
any better made? Are your elections any more
expensive? Are your county expenses neces-
Harily any greater III anv respect than formerly
II not, then why il 1t, that it requires twice al
much money, TO foot the county's bills, as 1t did
IN former timesp
The only answer ia, that yeur money Ia squan-
dered by reckesH, and incompetent manage
ment Unnecessary roada are made at the ex-
pense OF the county, in the interests of party
fAyorites collectors and their securities are
not held to a strict accountability for monies col
lected. County officers pay to their fayorites
enormous prices for work DONE and materials
purchased, for County Road, and Poor purposes
BY this extravaganza and recklessness, tho
county has been run largely into debt, in spite
Of the heavy taxation, and the evidences Of this
-C,ntFity OrtlerS-have been heavily shaved
by party leaders, who have influence enough to
get the cash Tor orders no purchased, anu VINO
have thus grown rich By shaving the county pa
per. All this recklessnenH, extravaganza, and
corruption, has been framed into a system, by
which the few have been able to grow rich at the
expense OF the people.
This is why yonr taxes are constantly increased,
and your county still left deeply in debt, which
must be paid in the future.
To reform of these abuses, the Republican
party of the county invite you.
We have this day put ticket OF honest and
competent men III the field pledged 10 a reform
in all these hihgs. These men,if elected, will re-
form all these abuses, reduce the current ex-
penses Of the county, pay the county debt
reform the management Of the amshouse and
restore TO all our county affairs the economy aud
integrity OF former times without increasing the
taxation of tile people.
1t il high time that reform WAS Ell ected. 1t
can never come until the old county ring is de-
feated. Every election carried by them is an
endorsement Of their bad manageme t. and il is
only by rebuke from the people at the ballot
boz, that wholesome reform can be brought
about.
In aid of this reform We solicit your suHrages
for the ticket this day presented to you. II YOU
will elect it, we guarantee a reform OF the abuses
In the management OF the affairs Of the county,
and a consequent reduction Of the taxes now 30
remorselessly wrung from our citizens.

was old Dorset's expertest organist, and must

Our people seem to be awaking to keener
appreciation of public school education for some
reason. Old school houses are either being torn
down or enlarged and otherwise renovated aud
the respective districts seem to be trying to out
do each other in point Of salary. Bucktuwn pays
five hundred dollars. In the Neck District nearly
every building is hayint repairs, while the Beck

Business is brisk Money or trade tolerably
plentiful And our merchants are correspond
ingly cheerful. Politics raging. Enthusiasm
however more pent up than usual, owing to their
oonglomerated state among us.

FAVORABLE AUSPICES FOR COMPLETE REPUBLICAN
VICTORY
A correspondent, of the n. N, Times evident
ly well posted writes:
This view, which is considered by the least
sanguine Republicans as the worst possible of
the situation, gives them 3,100 majority in the
districts, and, Including those for the State at
large, nine Congressman out of thirteen, where
as in the present Congress they have only six
out of eleven In addition, they claim both
the First aud Sixth Districts, and while they
may not get both the probabilities are that
they Will Capture one Of them,
Looking then at affairs in their least cheerful
aspect, and judging OF the condition of public
sentiment from information obtained from
every possible source, / can see no possible
reason 10 doubt that the election next week
will result in a glorious Republican victory.
unless the Democrats can succeed in COM
mitting greater Frauds than they have ever
yet perpetrated iu tins State. In reaching this
conclusion, l do not take the straight. out
movement iuto consideration at all, although
many estimates that the Edgerton State ticket
will receive three thousand votes, every one Of
which will be drawn from Hendricks. On the
contrary, mass the whole Democratic and Lib
eral Republican known strength against the
clearly ascertained Republican vote, and find
decisive defeat for the mongrels.

EXrEEBiFE SALE BY o0LE a MILLER.
On Monday, Tuesday aud Wednesday ove-
nings of next week, an important sale OF high
class oil paintings will take place at the auction
rooms Of Ogle 4 Miller. The paintings are
from the collection of Mr.. Hugh A. MoCann, of
Philadelphia, and are ninety-one in number
These paintings are now on exhibition, and
some of them are OF superior excellence and
rare merit. They are the productions Of emil
nent English, German and American artists, and
are said to graphically portray the scenes which
they are Designed to represent. This morning
we took hasty stroll through the collection,
and could not but admire the wealth Of beauty
and sublimity which unfolded itself on every
hand.
Here vaA the ''Pack Saddle" by Hetzel, a
scene in the Allegheny Mountains, on the Penna.
Central Railroad. resembling in some OF it's
features the famous Delaware Water Gap.
Near by was . view on the Hudson, near Tar
rytown, with the Katskill Mountains in the dis
tance, by Richards very fine. Further along
was one of Briscoe'r beautiful marino yiews-a
wreck on the coast Of Maine-whieh needs only
to be seen to be admired. Then there are the
Borders of the Dead Sea, by Cole, father OF the
American school of landscape art Sunset on the
Nile, by Talbot; Loch Katherine. by Engehart
(impoIted) salvators Paas, Italy,by R!nehardt ;
Darmstadt, by Weber, and many other meritor-
iol pictures which we might mention.
Among the col sction is a painting entitled
"Game and fruit" by j. d. Van Hamm, put up
on canvass H. 1908, and consequently, more than
a century and A-haif old There ia also one of
Snlly's PICTURES quite old, being among his
first Efforts, which is worthinspeotlon. 1t ia en-
titled our Savior and St. John Suly is an Amer
loan artist, % yeLrs old, but notwithstanding
his extreme age, still wields the brush with
grace and is guided by the naked eye
Space forbds notice commensurate with the
merit Of the collection, and we shall be COM
PEELED to simply commend it as an entirety to
The inspection Of the public. An hour can bo
very proltably and pleasantly spent in viewing
the delineations of nature presented in Ogle d
Miller's auction room, and urge all who can
do 30 to visit it. Mountain, Landscape, and ma
rine views and imagery Is faithfully represented
and those who admire such scenery cannot fail
to lind food for instruction aud admiration.

which are as singular as interesting:

thunder had also heard the groans, some time
before, and at once acceded to the request of the
oolored men to allow the injured parties to be
brought into his house, which was according
done They proved to be young man named
Jos. Sheldon, and a young girl named Francis
Glow aged about 10 years. The young man
had sufficiently recovered to walk to the house.
but the girl was helpless, entirely unconscious
and comforting and gToaning terribly. Sheldon
stated AZ aboS 20, that they had been chased from
Smyrna to the point where they were found, a
mile distant, by five circus men, where he was
knocked down and the girl overcome by them.
Whilst In the house, however, he acted and
talked in the most incoherent manner, walking
around the room pulling at or caressing the girl,

A SENSATION. Newark has had a real, live

cling musicians, who came from New Castle to
that place, yesterday morning. The fact OF a
house being broken open and these people being
at New Castle at the same time, aroused susp-
cions that they were connected with the affair.
The party were recognized at Newark, and the
New Castle burglary story was put ahoat. which
was sufficient to bring out the whole population
into the street. and for a time matters were of a
very unpleasant nature for the music men. They
were warned to leave which they did, and hastily,
too, followed by large crowd of men and boys,
