AFTER CHIEF SEWELL,S SCALPLoCK

The Republicans of Essex have settled
their differences and have united and con-
centrated upon Mr.. William Williams as
their favorite in the contest for the office
of Collector of Internal Revenue for the
district. This action was determined on
last night. In taking this course the Els.
sex statesmen have sounded challenge
to General Sewell, and the result will be
a scrimmage, which, while likely to be
brief, will prove intensely interesting to
those who enjoy fun more than they do
politics.
General Sewell, long before the office
fever became epidemic, gave his promise
of support for Collector to Mr.. George II.
Large, of Hunterdon county. According
to his well-known habit, the General is
standing by bis pledge, and according to
another MISUNDERSTOOD characteristic, in
stead of exhibiting signs of letting go,
the big chieftain is taking harder hold
on the issue as opposition shows itself.
While the clans of Essex have been
gathering, and the noise of the tom.tom
and the foot of the loud bazoo has stirred
the miltants of Newark to threats OF
mighty layings out and pledges of the
sight of great statesman fattened on his
OhChi tuO tdOibulh OOAoOyhSh hP
pears to have proceeded in his own way
But now the tocsn has been sounded ant
the war paint passed around, there il
prospect of something unusual happening
In this promised contest the merits o
the two candidates scarcely count. Mr.
Williams would fill the office from. centr
to circumference, and Mr. Large is not to-
small for its duties by several degrees
TIE Hunterdon man may carry more Law
around in his head than the Essex mao
but there is more good humor in William
to the square yard, and just as mucl
energy. In respect of qualities honor
are even, and If either get the office it will
be we'll conducted.
But when the Essex warriors start OF
the warpath for the top knot of.Big lnjui
Sewell, it seems that they would show
wisdom If they carried scalping- knives Il

The top-knot of the big chief has beer

CLARK PERSON, Editor.
LAMBERTVILLE. N. ].
WEDNESDAY, MAY Is, 1889.
The Warren Democrat SAYS:

The Warren Democrat says:
"The Republican Legislature of Penn
sylvania has refused to pass Ballot Re-
form bill under circumstances not dissimi-
lar from those existing in the late Demo-
cratic Legislature at Trenton. 1t is anus
ing to note that some contemporaries de-
fend the Pennsylvania case as earnestly
as they censured that of New Jersey.
The truth is that the political bosses of
each party are against reform when they
are in the majority and in favor Of it
when they are in the minority. Mean
while, the voters are getting exceedingly
weary of the bosses, regardless of the
party they happen to train with, and
when the patience of the people becomes
exhausted something is usually heard TO
drop"
The Democrat is right. Here in New
Jersey both parties are cursed by "boss
es," and the man who does not truckle to
the little 'king" of his party, fares badly
when the loaves and fishes are distribu.
ted. The trouble in New Jersey is thai
it is six of one and half dozen of the
other, and if you rebuke your own "boss'
you help the "boss" on the other side.
