The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1878-08-21

If we are to judge by the bitter tone of the
Charleston Netos and Courier which is the
leading paper of the State, the Republican
party is a very lively corpse. After column
of abuse, the editor goes on to say "The
Democracy must at once assume the offensive
and give the-chief knaves no quarter. 1t is
likewise the duty of Democrats to go to Rad
ical meetings and insist on being heard for
unless this be done the masses of the eolored
people will remain at the mercy of the un-
serupnlous demagogues who have their ear
The Democrats must divide time and pur-
sue to the bitter end, in the courts. every Rad
ical now under charges, who has Joined in
slandering the Democracy and opposes their
candidates" A great many very respectable
newspapers have said that this sort of thing
was at an end but if we are to have anoth-
or campaign on the highwayman's theory,
stand and deliver" we are glad to know it
thus early in the fight We had hoped that
the spectacle of argument at the mouth of a
loaded pistol was a thing of the past, but the
fact that paper SO quick to follow the drift
of public opinion as the NeWs and Courier so
boldly insists upon the necessity of breaking
up all Radical meetings shows beyond ques-
ton that the South still has great faith in the
shotgun argument.

ALvAH A. CLARK.-The Democratic Con-
vention in the Fourth District of New Jersey
have renominated Alvah A. Clark for Con-
gress. The district is composed of the Coun-
ties of Somerset, Hunterdon, Sussex and
Warren. 1t is one Of the Democratic strong
holds of the State. Mr.. Clark, on the men,
orable 14th of June last, voted for the Hart
ridge resolution, which practically sanctioned
the Great Fraud whereby Hayes stole the
Presidency from Samuel j. Tilden bnt, for
some reason, he did not vote either way on the
Burcbard resolution.
By his course on this subject we have no
doubt that Clark misrepresented the opinions
and feelings of the great body of the Demo
Gratis in his district.
We are informed that the Greenbackers and
Workingmen Of the district will run a candi-
date. They complain of Clark for voting
against the repeal of the Resumption act, and
in favor of sustaining Hayes veto of the re-
peal bill, and for voting against the Silver
bill.
What with his Fraud record, and his finan-
cial record, and with Republican candidate
in the field it looks as if Clark would have a
dusty race.

The Fourth.

Little If any preparation among our citi-
zens had been made for proper observance
of the Fourth of July In this year of 1878,
and the day passed off in a very quiet and
unostentatious manner but nevertheless in
a pleasant way. In the forenoon our city
hire department turned out in full force
and made a ha ndsome parade through our
principal streets headed by the Waterfowl
Brass Band. The Sisby and Ahrens steam
ers, both beautifully decorated with flow
e.s, evidently the work of the fair lady

and showed of to fine advantage After

enjoyment was possible out of the day and
apparently succeeded in their intentions as

Miss Adds Mowder, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. j. Mowder, died of dropsy at the resi-
deDce of her sister, Mrs. James G. Ford, in
the Third ward, Friday night, July 5th
1878. About two years since Addie re-.
moved 10 Minneapolis, Minnesota, with her
parents, and some FIVE months ago the
symptoms of her last and fatal sickness
suherings having failed, her fond and
last hope was that removal 10 her old
home and among the friends Of her child
hood ana girlhood would possibly alleviate
her condition, or at least contribute TO make
her moments more happy. In accordance
with this fondly expressed desire she was
brought to the old homestead in this city
about one month ago, and her declining
days on earth made calm and peaceful,
surrounded by her loving parents, brothers
and sisters with kind atfectionafe friends to
administer to her wants during her last
hours. Miss Mowders funeral was held 1t

Cheese Factory Burn ed.

The cheese factory on the John Davis
farm in the towr of Emmett, about five
miles north of this city, under the manage
ment Of I. r. Talbot, of Juneau, was des-
troyed by fire about o'clock Saturday
morning the 9th inst, together with the
entire contents, including a stock of cheese
which MIR. I. claimed to be worth some
$4,000. The flames were first discovered
issuing from the north side of the building
where the boiler room was situated. The
building was frame and had been but re-
Gently erected by the farmers of the vicin-
ity, by whom it was owned The m achin.
cry and stock belonged to Mr.. Talbot.
The stock of cheese was insured july
lst, for $4,000 in the Insurance Com
pany of North America, in the Juneau
agency of Rambusch & Mertz. The origin
of the fire is thus far shrouded in mystery.
Il is said there had been no fire in the
factory since Friday afternoon, which, if so,
makes the matter still more mysterious The
building was valued at $500 and uninsur-
ed The machinery was also uninsured.
