A Family Re-UniOn.

EDITORS CITIZEN: Dear Sirs -
Many of the friends and acquaintances
of Mr.. Mark McCandIess and wife, old
and honest citizens of Cherry township,
this county, will be glad to hear of a
pleasant family reunion which was
held at their residence on Oct. 4th inst.
The arrangements were made to sur
prise the old people, and it was quite
successful in this as in all other par
ticulars. On Wednesday, 4th inst,
the married children began to arrive,
bringing with them their families, and
by 10 o'clock A. NJ the old homestead
was more lively than it has been for
many day. All the children were
present except Mrs. Blaine. Some of
the neighbors had been apprised and
were present to enjoy the day. While
the busy matrons spread table under
the shade trees the company enjoyed
themselves in various ways the older
people relating or hearing "reminiscences
of the early days and the children and
youth at sport best suited to their taste.
At noon SIS persons were abundantly
supplied with that which supports life,
which all seemed to enjoy. The day
was perfect and will long be remem-
bered by all who were privileged to
participate in its enjoyment. The old
people, Mr.. and Mrs McCandless,
seemed to renew their youth. They
are enjoying good health considering
their advanced age. They were mar
ried February 1927. Is.

ASPECIMEN CASE.
A Government Clerk Tells
how he has been ASSESS
ed by Hubbell and
Cooper.

The following letter appeared in the
Philadelphia Press a few days ago
under date of Washington, ID. G.
October 7, 1882:
To The Editor of the Press.
DEAR SIR AS regular reader of
your very valuable paper | take the
pleasure in noting the fact that the
Press is Justly regarded the very
foremost, most reliable and best of all
the great dailies received and read
here. Your truly Republican position
in advocacy of honest methods, honest
government, open handed, fair and
square dealing toward friend and foe
cannot be too highly commended, and
should be more generally immitated
by journalists. Now | am in deep
study as to my duty, ! am a Repub-
lean in every fiber of my being, but l
do not approve of the extraordinary
use of money for the purpose of carry
ing elections; l. e., l am opposed to
buying voters, leaders, or buying
whisky or beer to influence them.
I have already received two letters
from Chairman Cooper asking me for
thirty-two dollars voluntary (?) con-
taibution, (the second being marked in
red ink No. 2,) one from Chairman
Hubbell for like amount, and one from
Mr.. G. w. Curtis cautioning me
against such payment | have large
family-six children, an invalid wife
and both our mothers-to support, and
| do not like to confess to near friend
how poor and Strengthened l am
financially at this time. cannot pay
this amount without entailing much
distress upon myself and family, and
my conscience tells me that the pay
ment is wrong-that | ought to trust
God and do right, and openly decline
20 make payment, frankly stating my
reasons and warning the leaders
agaist this suicidal policy. But by so
doing 1 will probably lose my posi-
tion and bring myself and family to
worse suffering, unless God should in
his mercy somehow, the which L do
not now see, help me out of it. l feel
inclined to trust God and let conse-
aeuences take care of them selves.
What would you advise me to do
have given myself until the 18th
inst to deliberate.
Commenting on this letter the edi-
tor of the Press says:
1t is right for citizens who can af-
ford it to contribute toward the neces-
sary and legitimate expenses of their
party. 1t is not right that the party
in po yer or their Committees should
assess the Government employees.
Mr.. Curtis assumes that it is unlaw-
full. We question the soundness of
this conclusion but If it is not unlaw-
ful it ought to be. The spectacle Of
fered by Hubbell's, committee passing
around the hat among underpaid
clerks, with his circular
No. and his red ink No 2, is burn
ing disgrace, and we fear it will cost
the Republican party thousands OF
votes.

terry of Steubenville in April, ls47;
ordained by the Presbytery of Allegh-
eny in November, l848, and at the
same time installed pastor OF the
churches of Middlesex and Westminster.
Ten years later he was released from
the care of Westminster but he is
now the faithful bishop of Middlesex,
as he has been for nearly thirty-two
years" He further adds, "He has
often been chosen by his brethren in
the ministry for important service, and
has represented his Presbytery in
several general assemblies, so says
this historian, and | might add as evil
dence of the eminence and high stand
ing of some of his near relatives, that
an uncle, by his mothers side, the Hon
Ephraim Bateman, M. D., after whom
he was called, was not only an eminent
physician, but had the honor of repre-
senting his State in the State Legisla,
ture, then in the Senate as speaker
afterward he was a member of the
National Congress for eight years, and
after that to the U. S. Senate. So you
see that Congressional honors pertain
to the Ogden" and that he has a
perfect right to aspire thereto.
| might further add; in any grea
reform he has ever been among the
first; nor ever awaited its becoming
popular, before extending aid; right,
always determining his action.
Fellow citizens, will you not fee
that your interests are safe in the hands
| of such a man as this? And he cal
be elected if you will only vote for him

Very A AnltasinY.

One Of the most amusing features of
the campaign now 10 progress is the
attempt made by the dependents of
Cameron to convince the people that
they are mot Cameron men," In some
Instances we have noticed the speakers
ut meetings even took pains to explain
''they were not Cameron men," The
load OF Cameron would look, to those
not understanding this dodge, as be-
coming too heavy but in fact it is but
. dodge and is understood by Cameron
aud the whole of them. LIE will per-
init his henchmen to .abusc and repu-
diate him as much as they please. but
he Ia carrying on bis campaign with
his money all the same, and il he sue
ceeds lie will claim it as has triumph,
all the same. And the election would
scarcely be over until he would begin
to plan and plot on the next candidate
for President. This will be against
Blaine. II he can carry the State now
he will think be can carry it next year
and next, against Blaine. This is q
part Of what Is in this present election.
But he will not succeed this time, and
that will end his power, forever.

ticket
OF his ancestry, native place and
early life, he has no cause to be
ashamed Like many good and great
men he was born and raised on farm,
owned by his father, and worked on it
until about the age of Is years. This
was in Cumberland county, in the
southern part of New Jersey, near
Bridgeton, the county seat. At this
age he entered the. .Bridgeton Academy,
to pursue his studies, from the first
having the gospel ministry in view. In
reference to his early life and the
different places at which he prosecuted
his studies, his graduation, and his
pastoral life since, / cannot do better
than quote you from "The Historical
Sketch of the Old Stone Church of
Fairfield, N j." as given by the Rev
Ephraim Whitaker, ID. d., at the BIZ
Centennial celebration of that old stone
church in September 1880, and runs
thus: Ogden was and is yet, very
common name in the southern part of
New Jersey, and | may be permitted
to say, it is a name borne by many
persons of eminence and who were dis
tinguished for great excellence of char
acter" In reference to these Ogdens,
Dr. Whitaker further remarks, "Anoth-
or of these good Ogdens, is Ephraim,
the best boy in Sayre's Neck fifty years

NO Nomination Yet.

The Republican Congressional Con
ferees for this district re-assembled at
Cory on Tuesday of last week, and con-
tinued in session until Friday last,
without effecting nomination. A re-
cess was then taken until Tuesday oil
this week, yesterday, and we presume
the conference is now again in session.
A nomination will, we think, be made
to day. Longer time cannot be taken,
as the election is at hand, and the can
didate, whoever be may be, will be
pressed for time to make the necessary
tour of the district Our people justify
and sustain our candidate in holding
out for the right of this county to the
present nomination. and from what we
learn we have reason to believe this
right is finally to be recognized. The
district is decidedly Republican and
must not be lost. We expect to give
the nominee an earnest support, and
every effort should be put forth for his
election. The next Congress may be
SO close that one vote may save the
control to the Republicans.

above being intended merely as o
guide to the form in which whole
ticket must be voted AS there are
two Republican candidates for the Of
fee of Judge of the Supreme Court,
and two Republican State tickets, for
Governor, Lieutenant Governor and

doubtless will be tickets at all the polls
of each kind, some with the names of

on, and some with the so called Regu-

thereon.
On both such Republican tickets,
however, the names of the Republican

The Eagle of last week is full OF
Misrepresentation relating to the ac-
ton of the County Committee. But
it conyicts itself and admits the
whole ground when admitting that
ION assembling it is possible that
there were only hirtyJour members
of the Committee present" And that
is all there were present ION assem-
bling" and when "the vote was taken
on the resolution asking Mr.. Walker
to resign" We have the names as
taken down when the vote was taken
on said resolution, showing IL for and
1t against, being the thirty-four votes
present, and consequently the resolu-
ton being lost and Mr.. Walker not
voted out. Then motion was made
to adjourn, and as soon as made. the
members of the Committee generally
sprang to their feet and left the room.
The re-assembling of a portion
Of them afterwards, and making
DIR, Rumberger a chairman, was
simply irregular, if not farce,
and he has no rights as such that the
Republicans Of this county need re-
spect. But we do not know but what
the effect of his so called appointment
will be well enough, as it now gives
each side of the party on the State
ticket an opportunity to be heard
through distinctive meetings of their
own, and each side can now have its
own meetings and the Republican
people can attend both or either, as
they choose, and hear, read and de-
cided which state ticket they should
support on the 7th of November
coming.
