Philadelphia Inquirer of Tuesdays

GENERAL GRUBB MISREPRESENTED
To the editor of the Inquirer | was
sorry to see on Sunday in the Record
statement credited to Profe sor Ship
pen Wallace that General Edward
Burd Grub, the Republican candi-
date for Governor of New Jersey, had
said at ret ent informal reception of
bis friends and neighbors at Edgewater
N. j.:
81 am sorry l never had the plea
sure of meeting you personally before,
but you know we ere not in the same
walk of life.
There is some mistake in this mat
ter, for no such language W; used by
General Grub, or any words that
could, by any stretch of the magma
ton, bear any such interpretation. l
did 60 with large delegation of the
generals friends and neighbors, |
think, on the very evening of his
nomination to tender him our congra
tulations, on the choice of the conven-
ton for Governor. said:
General, we have come, your friends
aud neighbors, irrespective of party, TO
tender you our congratulations on the
high honor which the Republican Con-
vention has unanimously rendered you
to day, by nominating you for Cover
nor of New Jersey"
General Grub was visibly affected
when he rose to reply. He said:
My friends and neighbols, | was
never more affected in my life than by
this unexpected and spontaneous t"sti'
mony of The good feeling on the part
of those with whom | have lived
nearly all my life am sorry
have not met you oilsner but it hes
been because my busin SO life has cal
led me away very much of the time
from Che locality to which | am SC
deeply attached, and from the county
in which dwell my mother and my
brothers, aud where | myself wal
Lbo4ns22
/ The whole affair was q pleasant and
delightful occesion EverySady went
away pleased.
No man in the county is more uni
versally regard, d with respect anc
affection than is General Edward
Burd Grub. He is as mode It es he il
brave His genero7ity to those IL
distress is a household void among
those who bave know him all his life
His splendid record &c soldier give
the lie to any such statement as tht
one indicated, which would ever imply
that he had spoken in superciliou'
tone at gathering like the one refer
red to. To show the unselfsh nature
of the man, remember when Burling
ton was stricken with the scuurge o
smallpox, and General Grubb wa'
only boy, he nursed the sick and as
sisted in burying the dead, when hun
dreds fed from the twp.
By giving this prominent place il
your paper you will oblige niuety-nin'
out of one hundred among the citizens
of E,lgewater Park.
