1he Sentiment of q Large Portion of tht
Republicans against Dunneli.
To the Editor of the Globe.
ST. JAMES, July 30.-Dunnell's postmas
tiers are on the war path again to hunt NJ
opinions favorable to their master, but rather
particular to steer clear of as many Ware
men as possible, as their notions about THU
unhappy controversy would not suit III,
occasion from that standpoint.
lnotice in to-day's PIP. some opinions
from this village. Two of them are rather
amusing, to say the least. One man say'
Mr.. Ward is little scared (he don't know
his many, or he would not refer it (meanins
Dunnell's proposition) to his committee

We have large number of anti-Dunnel
men down in this village who can't be hood
winked by such bosh as the Dunnell organs
and mouthpieces are sending out.
The great mistake with many is, they do
| not comprehend the meaning of this contro-
versy. This is an Anti-Dunnell campaign
with an Anti-Dunnell committee and candi-
date, and the Anti .Dunnell forces were very
fortunate in having in their ranks SO many
good men competent for the position. That
the selection of the Hon. w. G. Ward was
but the grand result of one grand object.
Therefore it is not Ward versus Dunnell

this district versus Dannell, with Mr.. Ward
as their chosen leader.
have heard some of the Dunnell office
holders say that if they could not have Mr..
Dunnell, they would prefer Democrat, and
l drew my own conclusions as to their rea-
sons, and it is this: With Republican ad.
ministration it would make no difference
to them with Democrat in, Mr.. Dunnell
would control the patronage for them, and
that is all they care for, although they pre-
fer the former.
AS soon as Mr.. Dunnell's evasive PROPOSE,
ton was made public, his friends were hunt
ing opinions and publishing them to back il
up, and of course it must be accepted by
Mr.. Ward or he would be buried out Of
sight. Please keep cool, gentlemen, and you
will hear from Mr.. Ward in no evasive
| manner, and no uncertain sound
He can speak for himself, and he has few
(unbought and uncollareO friends to helI
the matter. Yours truly,
ANTI-DUNNEIL REPUBLICAN,
