That Caucus.
Inasmuch - there has been some talk to the
effect that caucus was held In the NJ. E.
Church to choose ticket to be voted for at
the late municipal election, and as the Rev. d.
W. Clark has been especially condemned and
denounced % insincere, 1t is due to him and TO
the gentlemen who attended, that the public
should know, 90 far ~ II cares TO know, what
was done.
1. The so-called caucus was an informal
affair held in the rooms Of the Young Mems
League, attended by nine men, residents OF the
corporation, all Of them members Of the NJ. e.
Church, save Rev. Smith, Of the Baptist Church.
and myself. zone gentleman was present
part Of the time who does not live in town.
There was much talk about men who would
enforce the prohlbitory ordinance. Some OF
Us would have preferred Citizens' ticket II
there had been any hope Of electing It. At last
one gentleman went after Capt. Dawson, who
came in for . few minutes and pledged himself,
II elected, to enforce ell the laws, the prohibi-
tory law o. we'll O. the rest. The whole con-
ference was informal. There was no chairman.
There WAS no secretary. There was no motion
made There was no vote taken. And so free
did the gentlemen who were at this conference
regard themselves, that some Of them, neither
at the primary nor ct the election, voted for
the full ticket that prevailed.
2. Those who are we'll acquainted with Rev.
Clark know him to be . worthy, generons, es-
timable Christian gentleman, who in all that
he has done In reference to the prohibitory
ordinance, has been moved by . desire to ad-
vance the morals Of the community and to
make It . safe place for those who will dwell
here after he has gone from NJ. In this he
has not consulted bis own interest, nor ease,
nor popularity. Had be been ipsincere he
would have chosen course more free from

lent this political ingrstitude Of the worst
type7 There is no one ignorant enough to
deny that the s,loon-keepers Of Hillsboro, as q
class, have been supporting the Democratic
party. and that not . man could have been
elected on that ticket in this county without
their support. This time Sloane's convention
tried to read out tho ssloon.keepers to catch
more temperance votes. The people saw the
double-dealing of that convention and read
the Democratic party ont.
The Gdzette's wall over the election is indeed
mournful 1t is no wonder. The Democratic
convention was put in false light, resolutions
were read that had no meaning, honest Dem.
ocrats were stranglsd because they wanted to
put . straight ticket in the field, money, and
plenty Of it, was used for the snccess Of the
ticket, still the Republicans carry of every.
thing by increased majorities. Honest Demo

Gazette ring.
The talk OF the Gazette about the excessive
use of money by the Republicans is simply fol
the purpose Of concesling their own corrup
methods. There are few elections, we are sorry
to say, when some money Is not used, and ",
suppose the last election was no exception Il
the rule. But this is too evident to be disput
