LADIES' AUXILIARY.
Election of Officers and Reports
Received.

Received.
At the annual meeting of the Ladies'
Auxiliary, held Monday afternoon,
the following officers were elected:
President, Mrs. E. F. Downing; Vice
Presidents, Miss n P. Elmer, Mrs.
Chas. Bellows. Mrs. Harry Elwell, Mrs
VIM. Garrison, Mrs. E. d. G. Evans,
Mrs. Monroe Ogden, Mrs. W. r. Ne
Neil, Mrs. John Handley, Mrs. Enoch
Hanthorn, Miss Selma Hamilton, Mrs.
VIM. Stultz; Treasurer, Mrs. James
Trenchard, Secretary, Miss Emily B
Fithian.
The fourth year since the organiza-
ton of the Ladies' Auxiliary Of tae
Young Mems Christian Association has
just closed, ,andthere is cause for thank
fulness to God, that the auxiliary has
been enabled in some slight degree to
render aid to the Y. Nj. c A., in the
great work it is doing for the young
men of this city.
During the year. the various commit
tees have faithfully performed the du
ties OF the different branches of work
OF the auxiliary. Under the supervision
OF the Entertainment Committee, re-
ceptions have been given for the boys,
and tea to members of Committees
of the Y M. 9. A.
The Furnishing Committee has
purchased curtains, book-shelves and
mating for the rooms, and attended
to necessary cleaning and renovating.
The Flower Committee during sum-
mer months. supplied the room with
flowers, and added decorations for re-
ceptions.
We have to record the resignation of
a valued officer of the Auxiliary, Miss
Sarah Sheppard, who served faithfully
as President for year and a halt, since
which time one Of the Vice Presidents
has acted as presiding officer.
Deep regret has been felt at the loss
to our work in the death of Miss Han
nah Mulford. our former Treasurer,
whose vacancy cannot easily be filed.
The work of the Ladies' Auxiliary is
purely voluntary, and no equivalent
is expected from its labors, other than
the consciousness of aiding good
cause. 1t is hoped greater interest
may be excited through its efforts in
the work of the Young Mems Christian
Association, during the coming year.
The amount of money received by
the Treasurer during the year, Sal. 30;
expended, $29.30, leaving balance of
$11.90

mission had been withheld. 1t was
this telegram that started Mr.. Nichols
to the National capital at once. 1t is
claimed that when Mr.. Nichols arrives
in Washington he will have to satisfac-
tor1ly explain away certain serious
charges which have been made against
him by the opposition. One of the
most prominent supporters of Mr..
Nichols informed the PIONEER re-
porter that he took with him the neces-
sary ammunition to do this
The opposition claim to have scored
point. The friends of ..Mr. Nichols
declare that the advantage of the op-
position will be short lived.
The fight is a bitter one. 1t is
alleged by the friends of Mr.. Nichols
that some of the most prominent bust
ness men are at the head of the opposi-
ton and a prominent Nichols sup
porter said he would never allow his
family to purchase again from one per-
son in particular. He declares further
that there were many others in the
boat, and it looks as if boycott would
follow.
1t is said that the opposition held a
meeting Saturday night, and plans were
laid for bitter and protracted fight.
The friends of Mr.. Nichols are not
slow in proclaiming that there is more
or less denominationalism in the fight.
They boldly declare that it is Presby-
terianism against Methodism. Mr..
Nichols is not connected with any
| church, but is known to be contrib
utor of the Commerce street M. E.
| Church.
Before his departure Sunday for
Washington, Mr.. Nichols said that
| while he anticipated no trouble finally,
still the opposition was putting him to
a great deal of expense, which he was
loath to bear at present.
The Sunday Review, of Camden, Sun

"The small cloud on the Republican
political horizon alluded to in the Re-
vieeo last week, has vigorously devel-
oped within the past few days. Ex-
Senator Isaac T. Nichols, of Cumber-
land, since then has been appointed
and confirmed as Postmaster of Bridge
ton. His predecessor had a full year
yet to serve to complete his term.
There was a strong opposition to
Nichols appointment among the Re-
publicans of Bridgeton, aggregating
nearly one-half the vote. Nichols was
a candidate for Congress against Ber-
gen and Hires, but without the least
possible chance of success, yet placed
in position that his votes would be
material to either Hires, Of Salem,
Bergen, Of Camden, or if necessary,
Livermore, of Gloucester. He had
the deal in his hand, and played the
cards for all they were worth. Con-

is, perhaps. not surprising, but to be en-
trusted with responsible duties to the

credit OF our country that in his future
appointments he will not consider
roguery and confinement in the peni-

The people agree with Hill that at
every election we wade knee deep In
the mud Of political corruption. But
there is popular conscience enough left
to make an effort TO haul the polling
booths out If the hands of heelers and
bribers. The secret ballot. which has
been tried successfully IA Massachu-
sets. offers the opportunity to achieve
this desirable result the honest men
OF both parties are I'm favor OF d..
Professional politicians who deal in
blocks of five. who purchase voters
then march them up TO the polls and
see that they deliver the ballot which
has been paid for, are opposed To It.
Their occupation. together with accru-
ing perquisites, will be gone if such q
bin passes. Fifty per cent. or more OF
the scoundTelism which blackeDs our
elections Will cease.
Governor Hill sides with the poll
ticians rather than the people. Not
openly. but by means of cunning and
diplomatic objections which he well
knows have no foundation either in
fact OF law.

LDr- NnIL. -nn-I

The Governor is willing and anxious
to accept such features Of the Austria
liam system as the secret compartment.
which disc0urages bribery by putting u
beyond the power of the briber to know
whether the voter actually delivers the
vote for which he has been paid. He Is
willing TO accept the official ballot.
printed at the public expense. But
against the idea OF an exclusively off
cisl ballot he is as firm as rock.
The argument Of the Governor. show
ing that the exclusively official ballot
cannot be adopted IN this State without
an amendment of the Constitution, is
conclusive.
It is true that the Mugwumps and
the undemocratic Democrats who have
taken up this new scheme Of disfraE-
chisement hold to the exclusively
official ballot as the vital priuciple of
the Australian system.
That is the misfortune Of the Austria
liam system. Governor Hill holds TO
the vital principle of the New York
system. and that is universal manhood
