'His control of the politics ofthe county
may be endured, though we do not think
1t will be much longer, but when ne aims
TO control the judges Of our county we
say it is time TO cali halt Such call
we now pronounce, and in doing so we
utter the sentiments of every decent man
in the county. Not only must the adj
ministration Of justice be saved from
further contamination at his hands, but
the Democratic party must also be re-
power, or it will continue to lessen its
majority and will gain in odium."
The Republican candidate Is DIR. j. N.
Reese. of Phillipsburg. He has for years
been elected to the School Board in his

man of much culture and information.
The Republicans expect that he will at
tract many Democrats, because he stands
in notable conteast to his opponent. He
can hardly be elected, however.
Colonel Michael L. Barrett, of Essex
county. is very confident that he Will be
elected. The Republicans. fortunately,

TWO SOUTH JERSEY CONTESTS.
Nathan w. q. Hays is thoroughly
organizing Burlington county in the
interest of his candidacy for sheriff. He
| effected the organization last year for
General Grubb, which secured a Repub-
| lican majority of 1,6ll. The county had
| never been in such excellent shape be-
| for Sheriff before, lifted the Repu blican
majority to high water mark. He

| scientious Sheriff that Burlington ever
had. When his term of office had expired
| Ex-Governor joel Parker, the celebrated
war governor, was then the presiding
| Judge of the court. Notwithstanding
that he was himself Democrat he called
| the Sheriff to the bar of the court, and in
| Il neat but expressive speech publicly
| thanked him for the excellent juries he
| had selected during his term of office.
| The grittiest little man in South Jersey
| is Eugene Cole, who is to be sent back 70
| the Legislature for the third term. He is
Il brainy little school teacher who can
| hold his own on the floor of the House
| with any of them. lie is the man who is
| making the desperate fight TO secure the
repeal of the charter of the West Jersey
| Game and Protective Society," of which
the farmers in the lower counties COM
plain. He was knocked out twice be-
cause of the politics that was infused into
the bill. Cole wants to go back TO make
this very important fight all over again.
| The West Jersey Society is going 10 dc
| all it can to secure his defeat.
