Mr.. Editor THAT the office of Jury
Commissioner is one of very great trust and
responsibility is admitted by all, for on the
honest and judIcious action of the parties
filling that office the safety OF the lives and
property Of our citizans in great measure
depend. Such being the case it behooves
all good citizens to consider well the char
acter and standing of the man entrusted
with that important office. Believing that
Milford township can furnish an unexcep-
tionable candidate for the position, permit
me to suggest the name of W. NORTH
SrERRETr, subject to Republican usages.
II nominated, (the election being a matter
of course,) he will be found, in every re-
spect, the right man for the position.

announce W. G. Pomeroy, Of Port Royal
as candidate for Assembly, subject to the
usages of the Republican party. Mr.. Pom.
eroy made such close run in 1880 that a
very little additional exertion on the part
of his friends would have secured his elec-
ton, and we feel confident that if nominal.
cd this fall he will give strength to the whole
ticket, and his election will be sure. Mr.

methods by which 26 year old re-
former amassed $4,000, fortune
on the salery of a clerk in few years.
The Judge, and Black are said to be
relatives and perhaps that is the rea-
son that Kemmil followed Black and
played Pattison with the Pattison
methods of getting rich in Office, i'll a
few years, left out. The Judge is an
old lawyer, and he knows how to
talk his side up to d Jury, and he
did it nicely to his democratic jurors
when he talked about the republican
committee of one hundred, in Phila-
delphia. But alas! he halted, just
where he might have gone on and
told that it was the republican COM
mittee of one hundred in Philadel-
phia, that instituted the reforms, and
reduced taxation.
From Pattison the Judge graceful
ly passed to the River and Harbor
Bill, and gave the unterrified a dose
of that, but he did not even hint that
President Arthur vetoed the bill, but
he talked rs if it had been a repub-
lican party measure. 1t Was not a
party measure, and it was passed over
the Republican President S veto by a
fusion of a herd of democrats and
republicans that care for no party
only SO that they can gather spoils
The Judge was eager to show al
the nastiness against the Republi-
cans that he conld, and he drew
whisky into his speech by declaring
that Democrats paid for their whisky
but that the Yorktown Continual
Committee, and the Garfield Funeral
Committee had their expenses paid
by general government. but he fail
ed to tell the whole truth, by telling
that the half of each committe was
democrat, and that the democrats
seemed to enjoy the free whisky, free
wine, and free ride, and free cigars.
After Kimmel's speech, Mr.. North
introduced W. Z. Hensel, Chairman
of the democratic party, i'll this Com
monwealth- He is a small ,youthful
looking man, and shaves clean, he is
a giant democratic talker, but with
all that he left Il number of un-corked
holes in his speech which would be
nice places to look into, would space
permit.
