dences, together with the rooms of the

While walking around the REPUBLI-
CAN reporter WAS made acquainted
with d. H. Smith, one of the proprietors
Of the South Jerseyman, . staunch Re-
publican journal, and j. G. Hornblower,
an employee Of the Stsndard, both of
whom were g00d-hearted fellows, as
newspaper men always are.
Through the courtesy OF Sheriff Cole,
several of the par ty were shown through
the jail, which is located in the heart of

rather an inviting appearance, 40 the
dwelling house fronts on the street, while
the jail part Is Immediately in the rear.
As New Jerseyhas State penitentiary.
all the hardened criminals and those
serving long sentences are sent from the
various counties there, which
relieves the county jails, consequently
but few prisoners were incarcerated in
the Salem prison. The Jail is admirably
arranged, q separate place being set
apart for male and female convicts,
while cells in the basement are prOvid-
cd for tho incarceration of tramps and
common drunkards. On the third floor
of the Jail is y large and airy room built
Iexpressly for the incarceration OF priso-
ners infected with any disease. This au-
swers the place of a hospital, and II q
prisoner Is suffering with an infectious
disease he is at once put in this
place, far away from any of the other
prisoners.
Salem, in years gone by, was a Demo-
cratic city, but by thorough organiza.
tion, the Republicans have succeeded
in gaining control OF both the city and
county. The fight, however, isa close
one, and neither eide can get much be.

majority given Mr.. Colo when he was
elected Sheriff. Mr.. g. expresses him

fight in their county this fall, as they
have a full ticket 10 elect and the con-
test will no doubt be close one.
After visiting other places Of note the
party attended the NJ. +. church and
listened to an appropriate sermon by
the pastor.
About $50 o'clock, nearly half The
party, according to agreement, met on
the steamboat landing, for the purpose
Of starting in body for their vessel,
the remainder of the crew having gone
on ahead, contrary to orders. As a
result of this the last delegation was
put to considerable trouble, while some
of them were not in the best of humOr.
In consequence Of the schooner leaving
the creek and anchoring out in the bay,
In order to make quick return pass
Iage, the crew were compelled tc
traverse the bank of Salem creek from
the steamboat landing to the mouth oi
,, the creek and then a short distance
down the beach to q point opposite tG
where the schooner lay at anchor.
The first delegation had but little
trouble in hailing the officers Of tht
/. boat, who came ashore for them, bu
the last part of the crowd beat abou
. the shore for some time, calling out fol
boat, before they were taken aboard.
A bonfire was kindled on the beach, IN
!, the hope that it would attract atten
: ton on board the schooner, but aftel
!, waiting In vain for some time, a small
= boat was secured aud one of the num-
ber rowea out to the boat where b,
. found all hands sound asleep, as happy
and unconcerned as you please. No, b.
was not mad, but it is not worth while
: to relate anything further, as the readel
can imagine how he felt. He sooI
! ! had them awake, however, and boat
: pushed off for the remainder o
the crew, who were soon landed OF
board, much to their relief, and sooI
!, after midnight the start was made TO-
: home, with the wind blowing deat
4 ahead of the craft.
