The hand Of Albert Constable is plainly
seen III the above appointments. The greed
"f the average bourbon politician, when
scramb!inG Tor the crumbs NJ office, was
strongly illustrated i'll the manner of max
ing these appointments. The naming of
the entire number was gohhied up by the
two Democratic members of the Board, the
Voice of the 'hird-a Republican, elected
by Il majority OF the voters Of the county,
being totally dj>regarded. II Wa gen
orally th"lgh; that the I!lminS Of he
offices OF his own diStrict--cvru though
ranks-w0uid he conceded /" him, at
least the poor courtesy of Il portion of them;
hmt even This slight consideration WAS de
died him. The plum was too sweet be-
and they crushed it rind, pulp, and kernel.
The swell heads, the fortunate ones, were a.
juDilant u, the sore heads We're correspond
irgly depressed; the former sailing out OF
town with flying colorS. whil.. the latter
carried their caniil arr-naage low.
