LAMnEnryrLLE, Oct. 16, 1882


To the Editor Of the Lambertoille Record :
Saturday last was ield-day with the
Democrats-the day of their "Cork=us. ;"
1t is to them what St. Patrick s day is to
our Irish friends, or the Fourth of July
to the average American. The day of
all rife year, when friend meets friend
with a warm grasp of the hand, especially
if he wants an office. On this day of
days, all social barriers are removed. The
poorest and most insignificant man in
town feels that he is "just as big man
as Grant" Who says he is not an
American sovereign? 1t is at this time
that the essence foweth down the neck /;
when new resolutions are Of but little
account and old ones are reaffirmed after
a fashion when the old wheels are again
supplied with twelve months greasing
and the war horses treated to their an
nual peck of oats, and when everybody
has the exalted privilege of lying down
on his neighbours doorstep or upon the
soft side of the pavement, should he feel
sudden weakness in his knees. If some
Of our humanitarians and indefatigable
workers for good could have strolled
through our little city on Saturday night,
on a tour of observation, they would have
realized that the poor heather were not
all in India, or China or Africa, nor in
the islands of the sea. There is great
field for work right among us here. We
need not even go to the State of Ohio to
convert the Dutch.
BY the way, it must be very gratifying
to John Carpenter to have been honored
with such heavy vote for Senator. Mr..
Carpenter is a splendid man and every
inch gentleman, and the prospects now
are that the whole Democratic ticket in
this county will pull through by decided
majority. This is an off year with the
Republicans, and apathy prevails through
out the entire camp, and then it is en-
phatically an apple year. At such times
we are bound to come to grief. If the
caterpillars had staid little while longer,
perhaps the clicking telegraph might have
told different story. Nevertheless, we
may as we'll take things philosophicaly,
inasmuch as we have to, perhaps, and
trust for that better time coming in 1884,
when a bealthful reaction will surely set
in.
We have been waiting with consider
able anxiety to hear the silver-tongued
orator from this Deestrick, F" of River
and Harbor fame, ventlate himself before
Lambertville audience, as per pro-
gramme. Are we to be disappointed +?
If he should honor us with glimpse of
his boyish but burly form, DIR. Larson
would doubtless be more than willing to
measure swords with him on the occasion.
Would it be allowable ? Either Captain
Howey or the Greenback candidate for
Congress would be "foeman worthy
of his steel" AMINIDAB.

MOUNT AIRY. Oct. 2. 1882

MOUNT AIRY, OcC, q, 1909.
The Modocs of Mount Airy, in con-
vention assembled, declare themselves to
be in favor of these principles Free
speech, free press and pure ballot equal
and exact taxation of all property u
wise and judieious policy of public i'm
provement, and economical expenditure
of the public money; the protection by
Government of the rights and liberties of
every American citizen, at home or
abroad the speedy adjustment of
polygamy within the United States and
Territories ; the removal of the duty on
tea, coffee and tobacco, the greatest of
impositions ever imposed upon the people;
the redemption and destruction of all
government bonds as fast as they mature,
and an honest currency issued by the gov
eminent upon the faith of the nation ; a
close scrutiny of the postal service with a
view to a reduction of postage no more
Star Route contracts equalization of the
pension appropriation to needy and
worth soldiers of the late war, hospital
bummers and coffee coolers to be stricken
from the rolls officeholders to pay the
expenses of political campaigns; indie
pendents to be ignored at all times Ii
cense all who apply make it criminal
offence to get drunk in the United States
or Territories navigate the rivers and
harbors, as our grandfathers did, until
after the duty is removed from tobacco.

The Platform.

The Platform.
The following is the platform adopted
by the Fourth District Congressional Con
vention. It is sound one, that any fair
minded man can endorse
The representatives of the Repub lican
Party of the Fourth Congressional DIS
trict of New Jersey again affirm our allie
glance to those political principles under
which for twenty years this country mas
conquered in war aud prospered in peace
We hold
1. That every American citizen should
be protected in the exercise of his political
rights.
2. That American industry should be
protected against injurious competition
with foreign labor by wisely adjusted
Tariff.
8. That the time has come when taxa
ton should be materially reduced.
4. That the evident tendency towards
reckless expenditures in Congress should
be sharply rebuked and arrested.
5. That the last River and Harbor bill
was fragrant example of this tendency.
G. That President Arthur's veto of this
bill and his condemnation of the methods
employed to compass its passage meet
with our hearty approval
7. That Hon. Henry S. Harris, by his
votes in favor of this bill. and in opposi-
ton to the Presidents statesmanlke pro-
test, wantonly violated the known will of
his constituents and misrepresented the
intelligent sentiment of both political
parties in this District, and that he has
thereby forfeited every claim to public
confidence and support.
s. That the Civil Service and the Diplo-
matte Service of the country should be
completely divorced from partisan politics
that officers should be appointed only
after their capability has been demon
strated by some practical test--that they
should be promoted only as actual per-
formance of duty has proved their worth
that they should be absolutely free from
the fear of removal during their term of
their appointment without just and speci-
fled cause.

Some months ago, Andrew Holcombe
sued Jacob S. Everett, before J. Hay
hurst, Esq, for bill of straw, and some
other items were added to the account.
Everitt filed set off for nearly the same
amount. The cause was promptly placed
before jury, with all the energy and
legal force of opposing counsel. The
jury failed to find "a verdict. In a few
days the Justice issued second venire,
and the cause was again presented, but it
met with no better fate, the jury again
disagreeing. Yesterday the cause was
argued before third jury called by the
Justice, and after due deliberation, they
found a verdict of fourteen cents for the
defendant. What will be further done in
the cause remains to be seen.
