Chat AbOnt Township and borough.
Ex-County Clerk Coles was elected a
Justice of the Peace in the East Ward,
Salem, on Tuesday.
WIN. Nixon was judge and Joseph
Nichols and Harry Handle inspectors at
the Borough election IN Tuesday.
Ex.Councilman Lippincott, tits claimed,
was knitted by those he had good reason to
suppos W Guild stand by him in the caucus.
He doubtless realizes that the voters do
not always know a good thing when they
see it.
Henry Barber, Of Upper PENIS Neck,
who was always considered a sure and GER
tain winner on a Democratic ticket, was
showed under by W. II. II. Denny, Repub-
lican, to the extent Of forty or fifty ma
jority.
In Salem, Morrison, Dem, was elected
Recorder by 1876 majority; Richmond, Rep,
City Treasurer, by 3 majority; Bell and
Ayres, Dem. and License candidates for
Council, We're elected making that body
stand 5 to 3 for license.
1t is said that we nave a class of double
jointed Republicans in Woodstown who
apparently work and vote for that party in
the fall elections, when it is to their indi-
vidual interest to do so, and in spring
elections work and vote with the opposite
party.
In the borough election on Tuesday 315
votes were cast. The candidates received
the following: Mayor, G. II. Richman,
800; Council. Frank Wright 203. Joseph
Ballinger 166, Lippincott Coles 157; Bal
lihger, who ran independent, thus defeat
ing Coles, the regular nominee, by nine
votes.
Isn't it a little strange that 10 one who
was active in bringing about the incorpor-
alton Of Woodstown as a borough has
been elected to council, but on the con-
trary some of those who bitterly opposed
it claimed an election Immediately and
have acted since as though they considered
that they had a life right to the Office.
Perhaps if the borough government had
been in the hands of its friends we would
have seen different results.
The Republicans secured a signal victory
in the county, in the election of two-thirds
of the F~reeholders, the Board standing
Mint Republicans to four Democrats, all
the doubtful townships returning Repub-
Iicans.

luton was adopted Whereas, we, voters
and taxpayers of the township of Piles
grove in convention assembled, believe the
assessed valuation of real estate in the
county of Salem is in excess of the valua-
ton of the real estate of other counties
of the State, thereby entailing upon the
county more than its just proportion of the
State and school tax; therefore resolved,
that we petition TIE Board of Assessors of
the county. at their next meeting, to re-
duee the valuation of real estate in the
county at least 10 per cent.
