tE The Phillipsburg Democrat appears to
think that the caucus system in that county
fails to afford fair expression Of the peoples
wishes. This has also been true In this coun-
ty, with rare exceptions. The election of
Senator Potts was accomplished by the votes
of many Democrats, and was aprotest against
the corruptions of the system, and If the bet
ter class Of Democrats Of Warren Co. were to
resolve that no man who used corrupt means
to secure nomination should receive their
vote, the evil would soon be cured, We do
not see that County Convention 30 nominate
candidates is less free from corrupt influences
The fault lies in the men who are concerned
more than in the system. Both parties need
to take for their motto Honest men to the
front-corrupt men to the State Prison.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1875-10-13

The Jersey City Journal says The fool
ish action of the Democratic members of the
last Legislature in succumbing to the dicta-
tion of the Catholic faction and making a
party measure of a sectarian project, is CON-
ing back to plague them, and we knew 1t
would. The Democratic organ at Hacketts-
town, the Gazette calls upon Assemblyman
Wyckoff of Warren county to withdraw to
prevent possible defeat. 1t says "he very
foolishly voted for that Catholic Protectory
bill last Winter, and from the returns on the
Constitutional Amendments, the people of
this county have Enthusiastically spoken against
it. This is certainly an omen, that If we re-
nominate him we will be defeated"
Assembly Wyckoff is in the same boat with
all the Democratic members of that Assembly
except four, and he and they will be rightly
served if the people reject them now. When
a legislator allows his action to be defeated by
sheer sectaranism he invites criticism and re-
buke.
