A FRAUDULENT CLAIM.
Leon Abbett's Claim as the Work
iMgman'S Friend.

imgman's Friend.
In his speech in Jersey City recent
ly, Leon Albeit said:
II have always been true friend to
the worklDgmen, as my record will
show. When the glassmakers were
downtrodden, oppressed and defrauded
by being obliged to accept deprecated
paper orders in lieu of their wages,
introduced measures looking to their
relief"
This is another glaring instance of
this mans pretences.
Here are cold, official, undeniable
facts:
San act for the better securing of
wages to workmen, workwomen and
all laborers in the state of New Jersey" :"
was introduced in the Legislature of
1866, when Leon Albeit was a men,
be- of the House from Hudson county.
The bill provided that sit shall not be
lawful for any factoryman, foundryman
or any person. employing persons to
work or labor for them, to pay such
workmen or laborers in any way ex-
cept in current, lawful money; and any
employers that shall pay such employ
ees either in written or printed orders
on any storekeeper or shopkeeper,
shall be held as of no effect in the pay
ment of such wages; the intent and
meaning of ttis act is to secure the payment
of all acages to persons employed IN money,
and IN no other soay."
There was nothing vague or double
dealing about this bill. Its meaning
was plain, and to the point
On the fifth of April, 1866, after a
ong struggle over the bill, Mr.. Bernard
Kearney, of Essex, moved that it be in
definitely postponed, and on this mo-
tion LEON ALBEIT voted AYE,
killing the bill. See Assembly Min
utes of 1865, page $685.
The next that we hear of this fight
of the working people of New Jersey
for money instead of store orders for
wages, was in 1877, when Leon Albeit
was member of the Senate. The
Legislature of that year passed a
fraudulent act, pretending to meet
the case, but which was a cunnipgly-
devised cheat. This met Mr.. Abbett's
cordial favor. If there is anything
that he specially delights in it is a
double faced, lying cheat. This bill
became law, and the store order system
continued to flourish rather more
rankly than ever. Every workman in
those part of the State where the sys-
TEN was in vogue knows this.
It was not until 1880, achen Leon Ab-
bett aoas not IN the Legislature, that the
act was passed that put final and
effectual stopto the store order system.

CAMPAIGN TALK.
CHANCES ON
ELECTION DAY.
The Party Working HarmOmf-
Ously for Victory and the
Ticket will Win.

Of course in campaign like this, a
great deal of attention upon the part
of the leaders must be given the State
ticket. This is a time when it wonld
seem that a Republican Governor
might be elected, and yet the county
ticket should not be forgotten.
Did the Republican party ever pre-
sent a stronger ticket than the one
that heads our editorial column?
Well, hardly.
The Republican party of this county
is in sympathy with the ticket, and,
there are no factionalfi fights in any part
OF the county, and the entire tickes
will be elected by a splendid majority.
Seaman R. Fowler is making good
campaign at home but he should give
alittle of bis time and attention to this
part of the county. By so doing he
would help himself and also aid in.
rolling up large majorities for the other
candidates on his ticket. Some of MFR.
Fowler's political enemies are endeav-
oring to make it appear that he is not
practical temperance man, but his
life refutes any such assertion, and
when he is in the State Senate he win
do more tending towards actual tenn
perance reform than his predecessor
who claims to have done so much.
Candidate for Clerk, VIM. B. Trench
ard,is making hosts of friends. Over
in Millville, where he is not SO intim-
ately known, various opinions haa
been formed of the gentleman, that
were entirely unwarranted. Last week
he visited Millville, and was taken in
hand by the leaders and introduced to
the party generally. Mr.. TrenchaYa
declares he was never treated more
handsomely, and the people of Mill
Vile declare that in Mr.. TrenchaYss
they find model candidate. In Vine
land too, last week, Mr.. Trenehar1
was well received, and he is promised
hearty support throughout Landis-
In other parts of the county he is bet
ter known, and all the party are en-
Enthusiastically working for t'BiN0
Trenchard. Democrats acknowledge
that in Mr.. Trenchard, the Republic
cans have a candidate who is better
qualified than most men. 1t is q fact
too. The county would be represented
by Clerk and not Deputy, in the
event OF the election of Mr.. Trench
ard. Cumberland county wants a
good Clerk, man who can fulfill the
duties of the Office, and in Mr. Trench
ard it has just the man.
School teacher John N. Glaspel is
running about in the First District.
and he has little trouble in making
many friends. He will be elected by
large majority. Mr.. Glaspell is not
idly lying by, however, but is up and
working earnestly for the success of
the entire ticket.
Candidate for Coroner, John P, Mil
ler, is doing some campaign work on
his crutches, and the one-legged SOL
dier will do all in his power for sAe
ticket, upon which is placed his nasae.
The announcement that Gen. EA
Burd Grubb will be IN Bridgeten, ON
the 25th, has awakened much enthusi-
asm, apd the day will be notable one
In Bridgeton. The reception at the
Hotel Cumberland will be for every
body who can possibly attend. Boom
the matter. Get all your friends ont
to see the hero of many battles, and
honor him with grand demonstra-
tion.

TIE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.
Conservative, TImld and Wsak /

President Harison's message tC
the Fifty first Congress has been
received just on the eve of goine
to press, and we have only time tC
glance at its most prominent fea
lures.
The document is evidently care
fully prepared and carefully word
ed, but it is nevertheless a notably
Republican document, which con
aims Slight concessions to the ex-
igencies of the times.
He proposes to reduce the sur
p'us by reducing the internal tax
es and buying bonds. He advo-
Gates the maintenance of the pro-
tective tariff and he condemns free
coinage and trusts.
He advocates the federal control
Of congressional elections, and
subsidies to steamship lines as our
main reliance for the future peace
and prosperity, liberal appropri-
ations for coast defenses, river and
harbor Improvements, and for the
new navy.
The New Oaleans Pecdyane de-
scribes the message very clearly
when it says that THE message is
conservative to the degree of al
most Of timidity in everything
save when it echoes the chief max
inns ofhis party's polly. There is
nothing in it striking, Told, origin
or characteristic. As a literary
composition it is not devoid of
merit as a state paperit will take
its place among the weakest ever
issued from the White House"

We have received from the au.
thor a modest little pamphlet en-
titled, solution of the Negro
Problem" in which the writer
gives a possible plan for disposing
Of the race question. 1t is written
by j. A. Cunningham. of Louis
vile, Ky, who seems to think that
the Lord has permitted the slave
trade and the bondage of the negro
for the good purpose of finally civ
liking the dark continent by their
final return to their own country
by the whites. He proposes to
wait until the negroes become suf-
ticiently numerous to outvote the
whites, when the latter will be
forced to ship them en- mdsse to
their own country, where they will
build up a great republic similar
to the United States. and so forth.
This is all very nice but if we wait
till the negro outnumbers us we
see no good reason why Cuffee
should not bundle up the whites
and ship them off to Africa to work
out the Lords plans. However
those who wish to know more
about it can get the pamphlet and
read for themselves by sending 10
cents TO j. \. Cunningham, Louis
XIV.
