Anxious to know the result outside.
a number of persons gathered at the
PIONEER Office, where they waited for.
the news from the different townshfos.

pledged. The men are: Phillip4
Stathems, Peter P. Phillips. Davila

publican primary was largely attended
on Saturday evening. Vim. w. Riley,
Capt. Leaning Garrison, Ambrose
Candy, VIM. NJ. Chance and Nathaniaa
Lore were elected delegates. Capt-
Garrison received a solid vote from.
the fact that he did not ask for hcens
at Fortescue. to sell strong drink. Tx
is said of him that if person womb
ask for the best drink he had, he would
set out a glass of water. 1t is admitted
that he is doing more for the cause Of
temperance, than all the Prohibition
lists.
In Hopewell township there was a.
contest, and the independent delegar
tion beat the Trenchard ticket by one
vote. The delegation elected favors
the nomination of Capt. Ebeneezer
Whitaker, but will change for Trench

the convention will receive the heass-
lest support from the other side. e s
In Mlllvllle there was no particular
light. 1t is conceded there that Trefs-
chard will receive the nomination fosr-
