except that Of Justice of the Peace or

New York Sun, tDsmoeratic.)
We observe with surprise that that
most unadulterated, avowed and aggres-
sive Of free traders, the Hon. Roger O.
Mills, still includes in his list of appeals
for ratification the argument that the
Mills bill is not free trade measure, be-
cause it reduces the average of duties by
about five per cent. only.
In certain sense this regularly. reit.
Grated argument is true. The bill which
leaves an average of 40 per cent. duties
is no more free trade measure than the
reading of death warrant is the hang
ing, which is to come later.
This Mills bill was got through the
House of Representatives by means of
arguments for free trade and unwilling
compromises with protectionist Demo.
Gratis. The policy of Mr.. Mills, applied
to the peculiar financial situation in
which this country stands, will not
bring free trade to-day, but it will bring
it substantially within twenty years.
Brother Mills has won the repute of a
spotless knight. When he faces his
friends now he should do so with his
visor up. AS we have unfortunately
been called upon to say before, let the
free traders carry the country, but not
cheat it.

THE sTAMpEDE FROM CLEVELAND.

The New York Tribune on Monday
published two pages of results Of inyesti-
cations made by its reporters and cores
pondents, detailed for the work, of the
stampede of Democrats from Cleveland
and his free trade policy. The investiga-
tons covered all parts of N. Y. State,
and the result OF the inquiry was every
where the same. The break from the
party is the most remarkable and general
since the Greeley campaign In 1879. The
Tribune gives names, localities, and all
the data, Thousands OF Democrats In
that State will vote for Harrison this year
who voted for Cleveland -four years ago.
Tho same state of facts exist In New
Jersey, supplemented by quite as great
and remarkable break from the Prohi-
bitionists. In all parts of the State Dem
ocrats have repudiated Cleveland and his
policy by the score. There are probably
two or three hundred 10 Trenton. Every
man, Of considerable general acquaint-
ance, knows of from two or three to o
score of Democrats in Trenton who have
openly declared their purpose TO vote
against Mr.. Cleveland aud his radical and
destructive tariff policy. They do not
propose to vote against their own inter
est In order to keep a few partisans in
the loayes and fishes of Office. In addi-
tion, however, to those who openly de-
clare their purpose to sepudiate the free
trade ticket there ore many other Demo-
Gratis who viii say nothing, but will quiet
y vote the same way. II Is quite within
the bounds of moderation 10 say that
there are two or three hundred Demo
Gratis in Trenton who viii vote for Harri-
son and Protection.
1t is the same everywhere 10 the State.
There Is not city, or town, or village in
New Jersey in which there are not open.
" declared and known Democratic repu-
diators OF Cleveland and free trade. We
know OF several small towns In which
from q dozen to half hundred such men
may be found. Everybody familiar with
the politics Of the State knows that this
Is so.
And these converts are supplemented
by thousands Of Prohibitionists who voted
the third party ticket four years ago.
The peculiar shape of the temperance
question in New Jersey, with local OPP
ton high license law, enacted by .he Re-
pnblicans and threatened with repeal by
the Democrats, rallies all earnest and
true friends OF temperance reform to the
support of the Republican party. Our
adyices on this score are most satisfactory
and encouraging. The Republican tick ct
will receive very large accessions from
this source this year. Thousands Of Pro-
hibitionists and thousands of temperance
Democrats will rally to the support OF
the Republican party and its reform law,
against the avowed enemies of reform
These changes of sentiment will tell 10
the election. They will place New Jer-
sey in the protectionist column. State

CLINTON, N. j., Sept. "a, 1883.
E. I. Bush, w. B. r. Mason, Francis
j. Swaze and George M. Shipman,
Esqaires, Committee, &c,
Gentlemen:-Your letter of the 18th
instant notifying me of the action of
the Republican Convention of the Fourth
Congressional District OF New Jersey,
that day held at Newton, was duly re-
ceiyed A copy of the resolutions adopted
by the Convention has also been re-
ceived.
1t is peculiarly gratifying to me that
| your nomination was made under the
circumstances and with the conviction
stated in your letter. Whatever may
have been my personal wishes and views
we'll known to the Convention, I feel
that should yield TO the call of my fell
low citizens and accept the nomination
thus rendered.
The declaration of principles adopted
by the convention has received my
careful consideration aud meets my
hearty approval. They are principles
that have commanded my support in
my past action as q citizen and hope
and labor for their prevalence and
triumph.
Recognizing the principle that Home
duties are first duties, my primary OBJ
legation. il the action of the convention
shall be ratified by the electors OF the
District, will be to represent the people
of the Fourth Congressional District of
New Jersey in their varied and impor-
tant interests as affected by national
legislation. Every tie of interest aud
affection will prompt to faithful dis
charge of all duties involved in the re-
lation sustained.
But in q wider sense the representative
of district is member OF the law
making power OF the United States. As
such his duties relate to the well being
OF go, 900, 900 of people who now inhabit
our land and to the welfare OF the un.
told millions who will be affected favor.
ably or unfavorably by the action of the
National Legislature. A very large pro.
portion of questions deliberated upon
and acted on by each member OF Con-
gress has reference to the larger, and
only indirectly, to the smaller consti.
tuency. In the consideration of such
questions also and in discharge of this
class of duties l can only promise, if
elected. faithfully and to the best Of
my ability to represent the Fourth Con-
gressional District of New Jersey in the
Congress of the United States.
As your nominee, trust i may not be
found wanting in every reasonable en-
deavor to secure popular ratification
of your action. But the issue of the
canvass depends on the sympathy and
active operation of those who placed
me in nomination and of my fellow
citizens of the District. To you and to
them confidently appeal for an earnest
and successful support.
Very Respectfully,
NATHANIEL W. VOORHEES,.

Quality is what you get when you

Ex-Judge Frederick II. Teese, of New
ark, who defeated the late ex- Governor
Ward for Congress, has decided that he
cannot advocate the election Of Cleveland.
In reply to an invitation to address a rati-
tication meeting in Newark some days
ago, Mr.. Teese wrote that he was aud al
ways had been an out-and- out protection
list, and was unable to reconcile his views
with those expressed by the President In
his free trade message, and consequently
cannot consistently take any part in the
campaign. To a reporter of the News, Mr..
Teese expressed similar views, and said
he could do the party no good by giving
his views on the principal issue In the
campaign-the tariff. Ex-Judge Teese
has been for years one of the most promi-
nent Democrats in Essex county.

TO TELL THE SPEED.

Very few people who travel on rail-
road trains have any idea how fast the
trains are running. The most accurate
method, and the one most in use by
experienced railroad men, is TO count
the number Of rail joints the train pass
es in 20 seconds. The rails in nearly all
classes are 80 feet in length, and the
number passed over in 20 seconds is
the speed per hour train is running.
For instance, if a passenger sitting in a
sleeper can count 80 clicks Of the wheels
on rail joint in 20 seconds the train is
running at the speed Of 80 miles an
hour.
