The fact that man belongs to this party
or that is not of so much Importance to tax
payers as it is to have men who are thorough
ly competent to discharge their duties and
who are incorruptible. Robert Thatcher, the
independent Democrat and Messrs. Comet
and Race fill the bill perfectly in this respect
There appears to be some alarm among
the "ring" men at the appearance of Robert
Thatcher in the field as candidate for Sher-
if. People are not inclined to pull in the par
ty traces, nowadays, no matter who drives.
We shall he satisfied if the thinking men of
each party vote for the man they think is best
able to discharge the duties of the Office eco
nomically and efficiently.
We call attention to Prof Smiley adver-
tisement He comes to us well recommended
from neighboring towns. He Las had twelve
years experience i'll teaching his art, and from
specimens of his work on exhibition at the
Post Office, and of improvements exhibited
by pupils who have been under his instruc-
tions, we judge he is master Of his profession.
We would recommend all who wish to i'm
prove in penmanshp to become members of
his class.
While Robert Thatcher was Sheriff, dur
ing the war; the expenses of Hunterdon Co.
for boarding prisoners, ETC., were only about

of about $5000!! Voters of Hunterdon who
wish to keep down your taxes, vote for Rob-
ert Thatcher, the Independent candidate for
Sheriff, who has proved himself to be thor
oughly honest and conscientious in the dis
charge of his official duties,
