The Nesoark Journal is the most en-
terprising daily in New Jersey, and has a
vim about it that makes it exceedingly
attractive. 1t published last Saturday
the opinions which it had gathered from
all parts of the State in relation to the eff
feet of the passage of the Local Option
bill upon the Fall elections in the State.
Letters are published from numerous
Senators, Assemblymen, and Editors on
the subject. Asa matter of local interest,
we give those bearing upon this county {:
DEMOCRATIC.
In my poor opinion do not think that
the high license local option combination
will materially effect next Falls elections
in our county. A few Prohibitionists will
undoubtedly vote with the Republicans
glad of the pretext to get back into the
fold-while considerable number of So
called whiskey Republicans will vote with
the Democrats, thus evening things up.
While the rank and file of the third par
ty declare their continued adhesion to
their organization, you may set old Hun
terdon down as good for 1900 majority
for the Democratic presidential candidate.
L. r. RUNKLE,
HunterdoB Democrat.
The passage of the high license local
option bill will not, in my opinion, appre-
ciably affect the elections in this county
next Fall. 1t is probable that few Re-
publicans who have voted Prohibition
tickets may be thus won back to their
old party; but others who have never
voted anything but Republican. are likely
to vote Democratic, because of the egis-
lation you mention, there being many Re-
publicans in this county who are now
open in denounciDg it as dishonest, mis-
chevous and nnwarranted.

Great Snow and wind storm.

Great Snow and Wind Storm.
The greatest storm that has been known
in this section for forty or fifty years began
last Sunday. At irst the wind was from
the south east and gentle rain set in in
the morning. Toward evening the rain
became more violent, and toward mid
night the wind veered to the north and
snow set in, accompanied by violent
winds. BY Monday morning there was
probably from foot to eighteen inches
Of snow, which had been drifted by the
winds in all directions and piled in great
heaps. During all day Monday the snow
aud wind continued, and so severe was
the storm that practically all business was
suspended. The cold also increased, and
those who were compelled to go out suf-
fered severely from the driving snow and
the cold. 1t was 10 fact sort of import
ed Western blizzard. On the Fleming
ton railroad the morning train on Monday
got from Pennington to this city, but in
returning was stuck fast at Boss road,
near Ringees. Two locomotives sent to
its assistance we're unable to pull it out.
In some places ON the road it is said the
snow is banked to the height of twenty
feet. At about 8 o'clock Tuesday morn
ing Jack 0'Brien, the foreman, gave up
the task of digging the train engine
oHt, as the snow blew in about as fast
as it was removed. Some of the pas.
sengers staid in the cars all day and even
ing, and came to this city on Tuesday
morning. Farmers in the vicinity of
Ringoes, where the train was showed in,
brought food to the passengers and train
men, else they would have Jared badly.
On Monday morning the down Belvi-
dere train got through without much
trouble, but yesterday morning the same
train got stuck fast in drift near Bulls
Island.

kind has been known here to at.

Publication Delayed.

we have held the HERALD back
till this, Saturday morning, hoping
to give our readers the Chicago
nominations, but at eight o'clock
last evening the convention adj
iourned until ten this morning.
Four ballots had been taken and at
the close Harrison seemed to be the
leading candidate, but 1t is impOs-
sible TO forecast the result; from
the first there has been a strong
and decided undercurrent for
Blaine which thus far has been
held in check by his friends in def
erence to his wishes, but this morn
ing it may refuse to be longer stay
ed and the wish of the great mass
of the people will predominant and
he will be nominated.
Every name that has been pre-
scented to the convention IS a worthy
one and whoever carries off the
honOrs will be a true representa-
tive of American sentiment and
earnest Republicanlsm.
Below we give the admirable
platform, and elsewhere the result
of the Virginia contest, which can
but meet the cordial approval of
every well wisher of the Republi-
can party and the prosperity and
advancement of our State and
country.
This convention is eminently a
delberative body-it Is controlled
by no one man and in no one mans
lnterest-lts delegates come direct
~ from the people and represent
the prevailing sentiment to do moth
ing that will not enure to the good
of the whole country without re-
gard to geographical lines. There
never was a more thoroughly indie
pendent body utterly devoid OF
manipulation by any section or any
faction.
If received in time we will issue
an extra giving the nominations.

In the preliminary discussion of
the Virginia contest on Tuesday
Mr., Wise was clearly right when
he denounced the absurdity Of per-
hitting General Malone, as mem
Der of the Committee on Creden-
tails, to pass judgment upon his
own right to a seat in the coyentiOn :;
and neither General Butterworth
nor any other adherent OF Senator
Sherman was we'll advised if he
thought the chance was offered TO
win any lasting advantage tor eth
er the Virginia trickster or the
Ohio candidate. In most similar
cases the question might be one Of
propriety rather than of even tenn
porary significance, but General
Malone has never taken the pans
to cGnfne his political activities
within the limits Of common de
cency. For years past his chief
business in life has been to keep
Virginia Democratic bv a small
margin, in order that his annual
beggar's mission to the North might
be made remunerative by the double
plea of urgent necessity and reason
able hope. New York Republicans
have found that the perpetuation
of his crafty, selfish and malignant
despotism was not profitable in
yestmenU; the party elsewhere is
rapidly making the same discovery,
and if foresight we're among his
most highly developed qualities,
hs would not wait to be kicked ill.,
to obscurity.-N. J. Tribune.

The people of Virginia are to be
congratulated on their victory over
attempted One.man power and the
sale and delivery Of the State in
accordance with corrupt bargain.
One of the most exciting and IN
teresting features of the COnven.
ton has been this contest, which
has done much to open the eyes of
the people of the North and West
to Mahones methods and usurpa-
ton Of power.
The Committee on Credentials,
after a long and patient hearing of
both sides and a judicial weighing
of testimony, decided by a vote of
&c to II to seat the anti-MahOne
delegates from the 2nd, 3rd, 9TH,
9th, 7th, Sth and 10th districts, and
leave the 9th vacant. 1t had pre-
vIously been decided to seat the
Malone delegates at large and
those from the LIST and 4th districts,
in which there was no contest.
The Convention, after deciding
TO admit the Malone delegates from
the 9th district, unanimously adopt
ed the report of the Committee.
The significance of this action
can not observation-disclosures
new era in RepUblicanism in Vir-
ginia, and is token of its self
respect and makes it the peer of
the party in our sister States.
To the men who for years have
bravely made this fight, which at
times seemed almost hopeless, too
much praise can not be given, but
they now have their reward.
