ANIssUE wI7H THE COMMITTEE
The Chairman OF the Late Mass
Meeting Expresses His Views,

The Chairman Of the Late Mass
Meeting Expresses His Views.
A sense of duty as member of that
committee and az the Chairman OF the
meeting of Sept. "a impels me to say that
dissent from the action of the commit
tee, aud 10 express my firm conviction
that "tke circumstances surrounding the
meeting held in Court House square on
the evening OF Sept 2F' do not justify the
Executive Committee in questioning at
this time the action OF that meeting with
out convincing proof that 1t was not what
1t is claimed to have been, a Democratic
meeting in name, in faith and in fact.
respectfully submit that the meeting
IN Court House square on sept. "a, con-
Vened In accordance with published ln-
Vltation by order of the Executive Com
mtttee, that the business was entered
upon and conducted in due form as a
Democratic meeting, and that the deci-
slons rendered were just and fair and in
accordance with the will of a large ma
lorlty OF the Democratic voters present.
respectfully submit that the Meeting
was conspicuousiy orderly for an open
AIR meeting; that its character and COM
position were not questioned at the time,
and that 1t should have been questioned
then and there II any objections were en-
tertained. Nay, more, the substitute or
Mai. Brooks was offered to thaC meeting,
and IL is to be presumed, at least. with
hope that it would be iavorably received
and acted upon. Even after the vote was
taken and the, su 5stitute declared lost, no
Democratic voter present protested
against the validity of the vote, and the
call for a decision clearly showed to every
unbiased person that it was lost by q
large maiority-and that, too, of Demo-
cratic voters.
In my opinion, the whole truth lies III
the fact that the majority were united in
favor of the resolution first offered, ard
that those who were opposed to the can
didates therein named bad not manifested
any organized opposition, or active inter-
est IN the meeting until too late to defeat
them in mass meeting assembled. In my
Judgment, n principle is involved In the
issue before the people-that of justice
and fair dealing towards each other, and
the maintenance of what is right and
proper.
Whatever criticisms may he made as
to the fitness and the qualifications of
the candidates, it cannot be truthfuliy
denied that they were regularly and
fairly nominated by majority
Of the Democratic voters, in
mass meeting assembled, under
proper authority of the Executive
Committee of the Democratic party OF
this county. W. DUNCAN, NJ. ID.

The new cOmeti is about ten degrees east
aud north of Winnecke's periodic comet,
and both are moving in the same direction.
1t is TOO early to say anything about the

To Parents, Young Men and Women,
This is the season your minds are
naturally drawn towards schools and edu-
cation. The subject as to what depart
ment of education will prove most bene-
jcial is being fully aud deliberately dis
cussed. In the majority of cases the de-
cisiOn is in favor of a practical and useful
course of study, the fruits of which can
be early gathered-a course that enables
the possessOr to conduct business success
fully, or fill clerkships acceptably and
profitably.
The school of photography, bookkeep-
ing, type writing, penmanship aud
telegraphing, conducted during the
past two years at ia Liberty
street as a night school, is espe-
cially devoted to these educational pur-
poses. The increase IN the number Of
scholars has made it necessary to open a
day school, which, In connection with the
old regime, will embrace thorough.
practical course OF bookkeeping. based
upon actual business transactions by the
student; grammar. arithmetic, compost
