republicans have taken considerable
wind out of our sails. l must admit
that you have put up one of the best

EmpOria Crusaders in Boston.

Lieut.-Col. Levick, who 'held the
FORT as leader of the Salvation Army
on Sixth avenue opposite the NEWS
Office in this city last spring, is
now in Somerville, Mass. as will be
seen by the following announcement
handed to us last evening by Col. H.
c. Whitley, who has just returned
from that city. This announcement
is in the shape of a small hand bill and
conveys the idea that the services will
be conducted with theatrical effect.
Who the ''saved lawyer from EmpOria"

But then it can't be 10. He's a ''hard

THE Democrat of last evening says:
The funny man of The NEWS is ex-
cruciatingly funDy-at times. We are
pleased to see it, though his friends say
that he overdoes things somewhat, and
in the effort, strains his intellect to a
dangerous degree" The Democrat man
need fear no such danger. God saved
him all cause of anxiety on this score

THERE is at least one thing to be ad-
mired in the republicans of Kansas.
They are no hypocrites. They are
what they are. The state platform
does not hesitate, equivocate or dodge.
Consent to it or not, as you please,
there it is, plain, outspoken and not to
be misunderstood. The only place in
the platform where there is a luke
warm spot is in the plank referring to
equal suffrage. Even that issue is to
be accorded the grace of respectful
hearing. ''-R. C. Star.

their war cry is not quit so resonant as
it once was, and the inference is that
they are not yet convalescent. In

Miss SUSAN b. ANTHONY, one Of the
pioneers of the equal suffrage move
ment, a woman of brains, courage and
sense, in a letter to the Boston Traveller
says:
I hope, If you have occasion to al
lude to my political position, you will
save me from any report of having gone
over to the third party pr0hi6itionists,
who have made the most fatal conces-
siors in submitting the right of citi
zens to vote 70 the will Of the majority
of the states. Look at their suffrage
plank, which, after declaring that the
right of suffrage inheres in citizenship,
coolly says it is the duty of the state to
restore. Isn't that a sop to the ex-
rebels? Isn't that surrendering the
vital principle on which the war was
fought, and which we have been wont
to say we gained by the sword, and Sc
cured by the fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments-thati it is the right and
duty of the national government to
protect the right of citizens of the
United States to vote in every state of

GEN. SEWELL'S VIEWS,
He Does Not Think The Local
Option Law Will Be
RQnaalah

Gen. Sewell says he does not think
the New Jersey Republicans will
change their policy with regard to the
liquor traffic. 'The region in the
southern part of the State" he said,
has placed itself solidly in support of
the acts of the last Legislature, aud
particularly, | think, with view of
sustaining chose members who voted
to submit this question to the people.
This is the main point of the law;
action cannot be taken without a
majority vote, and this ought to be
good Democratic doctrine.
while the eastern part of the State
was carried by the Democrats con-
nection with the liquor men, doubt
if they have power enough in their
own party to interfere with the RW
passed last Winter on the liquor q1eE3
tion. They will probably succeed in
amending or modifying in some way
many of the acts passed by a Republi-
can Legislature.

On Monday night he had spoken at

were found two hundred and ten dol

FRED A. POTTS DEAD
He Dies Friday After a Short
Illness.

A few minutes after seven O'Clock on
Friday afternoon, death claimed one
of New Jerseys brightest men, in the
person of Hon. Fred. A. Potts. Mr..
Potts had been sick exactly three
weeks from some affection of the
stomach, which prevented him from
retaining nourishment. His strength
was his real weakness, for his large
frame required ample support. He
expired quietly, without apparent
pain. He leaves a wife and five chill
dren, three sons and two daughters.
Frederic A. Potts was born at Potts
town, Penn, on April 4, 1886. His
father, the late George H. Potts, who
was for many years president of the
National Park Bank, was one of the
first shippers of coal by canal to the
seaboard. The son received common
school training in his native town, but
when he was about nineteen years old
was a salesman in the we'll known coal
firm of Louis Audenried q Co., of
which his father was partner. Ten
years afterward the son was admitted
to the firm and on the death of Mr..
Audenried in 1874 he continued the
business under his own name for five
or six years before the firm of F. A.
Potts & Co. was organized.
Although born in Pennsylvania, he
sprang from New Jersey stock, and be-
fore he engaged in business his father
had returned to the old homestead at
Pittstown, which had been held by the
family through five generations. His
ancestors were Quakers and his great
grandfather was member of the Con-
tinental Congress. 1t was natural
that Mr.. Potts should take an interest
in political matters, and in 1879 and
again in 1878 he was a candidate for
Congress in a strong Democratic dis
trict, and in both cases his popularity
reduced the usual majority. In 1874
he was elected State Senator in his
home county of Hunterdon, which had
been Democratic by about 1000 votes.
He was for many years chairman of
the Republican State Committee, and
in 1880 he was defeated for Governor
by small vote.
Mr.. Potts was a man of fine presence
with full face beaming with cordial
good nature. He stood fully six feet
high, and although he gained flesh in
the last few years of his life he did not
lose his handsome proportions. His
hair and the small side whiskers he
wore grew white with years, but the
change served only to bring out more
clearly the sweet expression of his
mouth and the geniality of his whole
face. He was invariably dignified in
demeanor, but he never forgot to be
cordial. He was a warm friend and
he had few enemies.

A REPUBLICAN LEAGUE.
A Movement Which Should be
Pushed.

Bridgeton should have Republi-
can Club of a permanent nature.
Every Republican will concede this,
and undoubtedly every Republican
will do what he can to become sus-
tanning member of such an organiza-
ton. Last Tuesday week Cumberland
county, as we'll as the city of Bridgeton
gave an unprecedented Republican
majority.
Why was this?
Because the county and city was
thoroughly organized.
The city of Bridgeton had Repub-
lican club with the most active and
largest membership in it's history.
Every member was an active worker
and the result of his endeavors was
shown at the polls. This club will
soon be disbanded, and under the old
order of things no such organization
will be again originated until four
years hence.
But why should not Republicans
Ii,
eight years ago the Garfield Club was
organized and since then they proved
strong organization. They have had
handsomely furnished suite of rooms
for their members, and they have
been and still remain a strong power
in Salem county politics. Such organ
izations make votes. They keep voters
together, and those of other parties
are invited in the reading rooms and
they find something that convinces
them that our party principles are
those for true Americans.
There is a movement on foot to start
permanent organization of this char
acter, and it is earnestly hoped that
every Republican will give it his per-
sonal and hearty endorsement.
In union there is strength.

The Fish Question.

The next Legislature will be asked
for some additional fishery laws. 1t is
proposed to make the laws relating to

same in Pennsylvania, Delaware and
New Jersey. BY such course further
misunderstanding may be avoided
and the interests of all three of the
States be protected. The Fish Com
