The JERSEY CRY NEWS has taken the
trouble to hunt up number of Mr.. Nc
Phillips references. Several OF its repor-
ters spent yesterday afternoon in that oc-
cupation. 1t :will so through. the whole
list, but here is the first installment of
results:-
R. B. SEYMOUR.
Ex-Judge r. B. Seymour said:--"The
reference to different members of the bar
in Mr.. McPhillips, letter OF acceptance is
clearly. upon its face, in reference to
these gentlemen without any consulta-
tion with them and upon Mr.. McPhillips'
own responsibility. He assumes that
their knowledge of his character and of
his conduct Of that part of the business
of the Sheriff's office, which he lis now in
charge Of, is. and has been, such that they
would approve of him in those respects.
But do not regard the contest this fall
as personal matter between Mr. Nc
Phillips and Colonel Wanser, but pro-
test bv the people against the influences
which limit the control of our county and
city governments to the dictation of two
or three individuals"
c. H. vooRHIs.
C. H. Voorhis when told what was con-
tanned in Mr.. McPhillips letter of ac-
ceptance was at once surprised and indig
nant. st is ridiculous" said he, for
Mr.. McPhillips to refer to me. / never
gage him any authority to use my name
ana hope that You will state that am,
as a Republican, opposed to Mr. McPhil-
lips' candidacy"
.sDid you sign Recommendation ap-
proving the name of MIR. McPhilips for
the position of under Sheriff three years
ago2' asked.
s'No, sir; not to my knowledge"
HENRY v. CoNDICT.
Henry v. Condict said:-"I don't know
anything about the use of my name and
was ignorant of its use until now.
have not vote at this election, but am
Republican"
JOHN LINN.
John Linn was surprised that Mr.. Nc
said that he favored Mr.. McPhillips' can
didacy. He intended to support the Re-
publican candidate.
j. HERBERT POTTS.
j. Herbert Potts said.-"l never heard
anything about my nnne being used until
the printed letter was brought to my at
tention. do not endorse McPhilllps. |
am Republican and, of course, support
the regular Republican party tickct'
WASHINGTON B. WILLIAMS.
Washington b. Williams said:-'So far
as this letter would ascribe to me the be-
lief that the Democratic convention NOM
mated Mr.. McPhillips because of his
faithful service as an under sheriff. !
would say that do not believe any such
thing. / respect Mr. McPhiilipS, and
would be willing, under ordinary circum-
stances, to help recognize his services.
But regard this contest rs admitting of
nothing but an effort to defeat the Demo-
cratic Ring in this county, and all its
friends and candidates, and every per-
sonal consideration should give way to
that effort"
United States Commissioner Isaac S.
Romaine said:-'I have known John Nc
Phillips a good while, and my personal
and official relations with him have been
Of a pleasant character from business
standpoint. But the convention which
nominated him for Sheriff did SO to sub
serve its own purpose. was member
of the convention that nominated Wan
SER ana will naturally support our own
candidate"
JOHN A. BLAIR.
Judge John A. Blair:-'If Mr. Me-
Phillips is elected for the purpose of
CARRYING out views and projects of those
by whom ne has been nominated, his adj
mfnistration cannot but DE detrimental to |
the interests of this county 4 do not
know whether or not McPhllfips is man
Of SUFFICIENT Independence OF character
or whether his disposition is to throw Oft |
end cut loose from the influence by which |
he is now surrounded, and which is inJur-
ing his reputation and prospects. Per
sonally Mr.. McPhiIlips has been so far /
as my relations with him are concerned,
