LETTER FROM RINooEs.

RINGoEs, N. j., Nov. II, 1884.
Money was more plenty than water
around the polls here on election day. A
little more of the latter would have been
decidedly better.
A number of persons having their
homes here but engaged in business else
where, returned to our village on election
day, to cast their votes.
The bravery and wonderful power ex-
hibited by some of East Amwell's citi-
zens, &C., on election day, should prove
a mighty endorsement for an army posi-
ton under Cleveland's administration.
East Amwell has been mighty in conflicts,
especially on election days, in times past,
and shall such not be rewarded? To the
oictors belong the spoils.
A young gentleman from Deckertown,
Sussex Co., is canvassing this vicinity
with book, entitled "What World"
Peter Y, a young son of James Housed,
former resident of our village, and now
a citizen of Trenton, died of scarlet fever,
last week. The corpse was brought to
our village and the funeral took place in
the Baptist Church here, on Friday
morning last, and was preached by Rev.
Rodney Janvier, of Trenton. Interment
took place in our cemetery.
The Democrats have made extensive
preparations for painting our village
red, y this evening, in honor of the cleo
ton of Cleveland and Hendricks. Our
citizens are preparing for the occasion
and hope to survive the wonderful event.
And can il be that those same Democrats
who were considerably exercised in mind,
about the amount of money "foolishly ex-
pended" by Republicans in the past, for
jubilations, &C., will take part in this
jollilication tonight?
What difference it makes on whose
fence the rooster crows. After twenty
four years in a political purgatory, isn't
it natural to expect good deal of Wild
ness and unnatural behavior from those
who are delivered ? Remember that Of
fees are at hand aud many hungry mouths
are anxiously waiting for food. St. John
and DR.. Burchard, two noble patriots of
the conflict will they be rewarded by
the incoming administration
The Presbyterian congregation held its
first sociable of the season, in the par
souage, last Tuesday evening. Interest
ing exercises were well prepared aud cred
itably carried out. The attendance was
large and various games and music gave
enjoyment to all, and made the occasion
very happy one. Refreshments were
provided, which received proper atten-
ton. We understand these sociables
will be held at different places, semi
monthly.
On our late election day, East Amwell
fully sustained and in some respects, sur
passed her famous reputation for bribery,
"hoodlumism, &C., on such occasions.
In fact, voters were bought more openly,
and with less regard for the law, than
formerly. Considerable bravery and APP
parent regard for the law, prompted by a
desire to preserve peace, seemed manifest
whenever any colored members of the
Republican. party, gave vent to loud yells
and curses, and seemed full of fight. A
few arrests were made and quiet partially
testimonial and reward for the wonderful
bravery displayed and grand perform
anee of duty.
st. John is certainly entitled to Cabi'
net position, and wouldn't it be suitable
and highly consistent to send DIR. Bur.
ehard as minister to Rome? We re-
specially submit the foregoing to the
wise consideration of President. elect
Cleveland or his adviser, Dan. Manning,
Esq. POP.
