was generally observed at Newark yester-

| THE HERALD ON GRANT
The Herald says: Against really strong
Democratic nomination it is our belief thai
Grant, simply as Grant, would be weaf
candidate. The Republican party, if il
expects to succeed in 1880, must be pre-
pared not merely to overcome such candi
dates as Tilden or Bayard, whom Gran
might defeat but to oppose other candi
dates who might defeat Grant. If it is {
fact that without Grant the Republican
party can not win, then it is good as beatet
already. The moment the Republican
party confesses that it is simply a Gran
party and nothing else, it will show {
weakness which must disgust the voters
The Herald does not see how the Republi
can party has been weakened so as to de
pend upon Grant to win.

Mr.. EDIToR-
The campaign opened on the 18th, at
Nichols, with large and enthusiastic
gathering of good, sound and conserva-
tive Democrats, men and women. The
latter, by the way, rs one of the speak
ers truly said, "were the power in the
land" Col. Hathaway led off in the
speaking with telling effect, demonstra-
ting the fact that he was not only a man
of intelligence, but willingly ready and
capable to act we'll his part as Legisla-
tor and friend of the people of all polit-
ical creeds. MIR. Connella followed Col.
HI. in true Democratic and Conservative
style, showing that his heart and soul
were conferred in the success ofthe par
| ty. Mr.. C. has in all our campaigns
given both his services and money to
forward the success of the party, and
is deserving of more than passing no
tice. Capt. Lewis rexada was the next
speaker, reading letter from our next
Senator, r. l.. Luckett, regreting his
inability to attend the meeting on ac-
count of sickness of q patient. 1t is use
less to speak of the letter, as DIR. Luck
iett is too we'll known to need any praise
ut our hands suffice to say, however,
that the letter was we'll appreciated,
and was listened to with marked atten-
ton. Capt. Texada's remarks were re-
ceiyed with the applause and attention
they so justly deserved. Mr.. Ed. Hun
ter, our District Attorney, was the next
speaker, making one of the best cam
paign speeches ever listened to. He
was easy and graceful in his delivery,
receiving rounds Of applause. Judge
w. F. Blackman was the next called to
the stand, and as he was the last to adj
dress the audience, it may be we'll said
that his effort was the "dessert" to this
political treat. His eloquent address
interspersed with pointed jokes, caused
every one to regret the time for him tc
close. Col. Wise and Dave Paul, and
another aspirant for political favors
circulated freely through the crowd
encouraging the weak, registering the
needy, smiling with the ladies, SMOKING
with the boys, aud in fact making them
selves generally useful and agreeable
The table was then spread with an
