Editor Chronicle -
With the fine weather we have had
since this month came in, crowds have
visited the city for pleasure and business
some induced to come here by the very
low fares, especially between this city
and Boston. On one line of boats that
run between these two points, the fare
is only one dollar. This brings many to
this city that would not otherwise come.
A large number are here from the South,
having fed from the dreadful scourge
which is now raging there. A larger
business is being done here now than for
several years past; and but for the pre-
valence of the yellow fever at the South,
there would doubtless be still heavier
business.
In politics, things hereabouts are all
astir. The Democratic and Republican
parties, and the Greenback party, of all
shades, are sounding each their party war
cries. The leaders of the old parties are
ut their wits end to calculate the size of
that unknown quantity-the third party.
Judging from the late vote in Maine, this
unknown quantity, after the November
election, will be better known quantity.

chusetts, said to me, day or two since,

The Vanderbilt Will case drags its slow
length along. The Surrogate seemingly
rules fairly, but many prognosticate the
result. 1t appears undemocratic in
country like ours that one hundred mil
lion dollars should be concentrated in
the possession of one man. This great
concentrated money-power in the hands
of individuals and great corporations,
and its powerful influence in legislation
and moulding society, etc., is the great
question OF the hour, and will sway in a
great measure the elections. On one
side will be arrayed the vast money and
corporate powers of the country on the
other, the sovereign people. Can there
be any doubt on whose banner victory
will perch?

MOUNT OLIVE.
Politics begin to awaken the voters OF
this Township, and they are asking their
neighbors, what meaneth this Greenback
or Labor party, and whence cometh its
strength 2 The people think there is
some good in it, but do not understand
where or how; but the fact that our
townslnan and Assessor, Enos G. Budd,
has received the nomination for County
Clerk, assures the people that there are
g good things coming out of Nazareth"
for they know ,'Goble /" is one of the
sound solid men of the County, man
whom every body respects and no one
rejects. We do not wish to hatter or un
duly exalt our townsman, especially to
the detriment of any candidate, but JUS
tice is due to all men of every party.
Mr. Budd, it is we'll KNOWN enlisted in
the civil war as private, and for meri-
torious conduct received the rank OF
Brevet Major, and, after five years faithful
service for the United States, he again
retired to private life, only to be taken
up by all classes for official positions in
this Township.
Mr.. Budd's nomination viii tell for the
party, which is quite strong in the west
end of Mt. Olive Township and we think
is growing stronger daily. People do not
look for his election to materially affect
the political issues of the times, but many
here will vote for him from both the Re.
publican and Democratic ranks.
We understand Mr.. E. E. Potter will
speak upon the issues of the day, in one
or two places in the Township.

Democratic and Republican Conven-

nomination OF County officers-Sheriff
and Coroners. The Democrats nominal
ted Grin B. Faussett, for Sheriff, and the
Republicans Charles II. Skerim, for same
office. The Gazette says of the Republi.
can candidate. that he is genial gem

election. He is a wholesale liquor dealer.

Of the Democratic candidate. He is also
a genial gentleman-and is retail liquor
dealer Therefore, the SheriffaIty prob
lem, as it now stands in this County, il
about this What will be the measure
OF your drink ?' TO have made the issue
a square one the Democratic nomination
should have fallen upon the shoulders of
a wholesale liquor dealer who was can
didate before the Convention. The ques-
ton in November will be: " How are you
voting today-wholesaIe or retail ?"
There is also a Prohibition candidate
in the field as well as Greenbacker. If
the three and five GEM lager beer facti ms
could be persuaded to put up candidates
for the same office, we might hope for as
interesting time as they usually have in
East Newark lHarrison), where ballots
boxes are smashed and roll-lists torn to
pieces if the several factions are not sat
isfed with the result.
How does the Sherifalty stock stand
now? you will want to know. From the
best sources of information, judge that
the wholesale candidate is few drinks
ahead. But as there will DO considerable
rum and gin (rumaging) for votes, the
issue cannot be safely guessed at yet.
