Joseph Butler Nominated iOr The
Assembly.

The Prohibition Convention for the
county was held in Vineland Mon
day, and full ticket was nominated.
The convention was not nearly SO en-
thusiastic or unanimous as in past
years. A large number of delegates
went to the convention with rhe pur
pose of having the Assembly place on
the ticket, blank. They argued on
the floor of the convention that this
was e. peculiar campaign and there
was but single issue before the peo-
ple-namely to endorse OR protest
against the action of Governor Albeit
in appointing a License Commission n
for Cumberland county. By the cleo
ton of VanSyckle it was claimed the
action would be indorsed, while the
election OF any other man whose posi-
tion was opposed to the measure,
would be protest.
The Second District delegates, op-
posed the latter course and urged the
First District to nominate ticket in
Prohibition vote would be protest
sufficient to cause Gov. Albeit to turn
pale. So the delegates went ahead
and placed in nomination the name of
Joseph Butler as candidate. Mr..
Butler was not present at the conven-
ton. The Second District nomination
went to Smith M. Ware, of CONNER
cial. DR.. G. E. Welch of Vineland, was
nominated for Coroner.
A PIONEER reporter called upon
Joseph Butler, the nominee for this
District Tuesday. He stated that
he was greatly surprised when he
learned his name had seen thus used,
and had he been before the Conven-
tion, (and he surely would have been
had he had an intimation of what was
going on,) he would most certainly
positively declined.
When asked IF he would accept the
nomination, Mr.. Butler replied. that
he could not very we'll decline anything
he had not officially been notified of,
and therefore could not speak about
it.
There are many who believe that
when officially notified of his nomina-
ton, Mr.. Butler will decline to allow
his name to go on the ticket. Ever
since the License Commission was
appointed, he has publicly declared
that it would be to the best interests
of the temperance movement if only
two tickets were inthe field.

FOUND HIS HORSE.

Smith Tomlin found his horse which,
was stolen Sunday night, in stable
in Woodbury.. The fellows who stole
the horse and buggy left it there and
proceeded on their way.
There is but little doubt but that
the persons who were engaged In the.
melee on Church Lane and Pearl street
an Saturday night, which melee,
though so loud and murdercus did
not attract the notice of any of the
four police oficers-there is but little
doubt that some OF these are the ones
who took the rig.
From what was gathered by a Pro-
NEER reporter, it seems that the boy
who used the razor, cut the white fell
low who was holding him down, pretty
badly. The report reached the camp
ground on Sunday afternoon that the
fellow had died from the cut, and the
three boys concerned in the fight be-
gan to plan to get away.

C0lOred Men Fight Right in the
Heart of the City and One
ia (;nf.

About fifteen minutes of twelve
O'Clock Saturday night there was dis
graceful fight on Church lane about
the marble yard of NJ. W. Appelgate.
Colored men became engaged in a
quarrel and blows were exchanged by
a couple.
A great crowd gathered, and for a
time the affair seemed to take on a
nasty aspect. The two men fighting
finally locked themselves together and
one colored man got the other down.
Another colored fellow then pulled out
a revolver and loudly proclaimed
he would shoot the first man that in
terfered.
In the meantime the fight....was pro
crossing, and the man who had been
thrown down drew from his pocket a
razor and began slashing it.
The fellow on top cried out Take
that razor from my nose, or I'll bust
your head in" but the razor was at
work and was slsshed into the fellows
face, head and wrist, the latter being
q pretty bad wound.
The man with the rszor Was then
let up and he started to run. The
crowd gave chase and two or three
shots were fred from revolver, and
Kill the son -" was called out.
The chase went out Pearl to Commerce
and from thence to Orange, where the
fugitive managed to elude his pursuer.
The police were down town but de.
clare they heard none of the racket,
although people on Pearl street were
awakened from their slumbers by the
racket Consequently there were no
arrests.

BRIDGEToN, N. j., THURSDAY, OCTOBER |, 1891.

Wells said, ''Mr. Chairman and gentle
men of the Convention, 1 have the
honor to present the Hon. j. L. Ven
Syckle, who SO honestly, zealously an
faithfully represented you in the last
Legislature"
He was received by Judge Whitaker,
who said "all can say is l hope you
will be elected. Now get down there
and let out"
Mr.. VanSyckle then addressed the
Convention very earnestly.
The nominee referred to this cam
paign as skirmish before great bat
tie. and it was important for Demo-
Gratis to stand solidly together, or the
great battle of 1892 would be hopelessly
lost. He pointed to the great cam
paigp in Ohio and Pennsylvania. In
the former he said the Democracy was
arrayed against the ubiquitous Nc
Kinley bill which was merely q con
tract between Tariff Barons and the
Government. In the latter state it
was Democracy against dishonest Gov
ernment and Bossism.
He then referred at length to him.
SELF He said he vas elected last year
after big fight and had gone to the
Legislature, and had been foremost in
the good works of the Legislature.
His hand had defeated a bill that
would haye robbed the oystermen of
thousands of dollars, and had been
active in keeping the Mechanics Lien
Law on the statutes. He pointed to
the acts of the last Legislature, and
| declared that there was not single
thing done that would reflect against
the party in power He declared he
had no more doubt of his election
than that in a few hours the afternoon
sun would set.
Again he pointed with pride to his
record at Trenton. and he was loud
in the praise of himself when he
pointed to the fact as he said, that his
election prevented the Salem Democ-
racp from taking from Cumberland
County that banner Democratic to wn-
ship of Deerfield, and declared that if
a Republican was elected this fall in
his stead, Deerfield would yet be set
over to the county of Salem. His
head, he hoped, was always clear and
his purposes and acts honest.
The last legislature he said had given
to the party and peoples legislation,
which was of vast benefit TO the party
and people.
He then urged the Democrats to
stand soiidly by him, ana declared he
would do the rest. He had seen the
tickets laet fall in the recount, and
had found that many Democrats had
been untrue to their trust. He ap-
pealed and begged the party not to
leave him this fall. He had made the
First District a Democratic one, and
he was very anxious that the Democ-
racy should keep in that way. He
felt he could be OF service to the
various interests of the people and his
constituents. He closed his speech
with another appeal for support and
said ''see TO 1t that the Democrats
stand b. me as you may depend will
stand by YOU"
The Convention then adjourned.

WASHINGTON. ID. c., Dec. %. Hen
ry A. Brown OF Massachusetts, the
noted sugar tariff expert, has been in
Washington several days comforting
with leading officials and members of
congress about the great cut in the
duty on sugar, to go into effect next
April under the new tariff law. and its
effect on the revenue of the country.
Mr.. Brown insists that the loss of rev.
enue from making sugar almost duty
free, together with the bounty to be
paid TO sugar producers in this coun-
try, will amountto $40 600, 600 u year.
lie is clearly of the opinion that it
will be found advisable and that it will
be the duty of congress to restore fully
thrce-fourths OF the present or old duty
on sugar and discontinue or repeal the
bounty feature OF the new law. He has

production of sugar in this country

IsuII,s warriors surrender.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY. S. d.. Dec. 90.
Sitting Bulls band of $50 warriors
led by Big Foot have just surrendered
to Colonel Sumner who with 200 sol
diers succeeded In surrounding them
in the vicinity OF Standing Rock while
making for the bad lands.
General Miles looks for an early sur
render OF all the hostiles. The bad
land leaders counted upon 800 Indians
from Standing Rock, including Sitting
Bulls band OF 200 Indians from the
Cheyenne agency. and Humph and Big
Foots braves at Cherry creek and ac-
cessions from northern agencies which
would have swelled the hostile camps
10 over 10000.
Had the conjunction been effected. "
said General Miles this morning.
these Indians in the absence of mill
tary protection could have massacred
as many settlers as the Sioux did in
the Minnesota troubles Of 1862"
Colonel Sumner. in his dispatch an
nouncing the capture OF Big Foote,
says: This cleans up the Indians on the
Cheyenne" He has orders 10 take the
Sitting Bull and Big Foot parties into
Fort Meade, or If more practicable. to
Pierre. General Brooke wires that
Turning Bear. with his band, the ad-
vance OF the Pine Ridge delegation to
the hostile camps, has arrived at the
bad lands. Central Brooke has sent
out to them word of the surrender
OF the Sitting Bull people and Big Foot
and thinks this news will aid his en-
bassadors IN their work OF hurrying in
the recalcitrants. Brave Bear the
Pine Ridge policeman who brought in
Little, the Indian who precipitated the
difficulty at the agency by drawing a
knife and assaulting a policeman. says
that Short Bull wants to leave the bad
lands, while Kicking Bear insists upon
defiance. The Indians here he says.
believe that the party who went out
will at least succeed in aiding Short
Bull to come in with his followers. A
peaceful solution OF the difficulty now
seems probable, but, as General Miles
remarked, bad news may come in
later in the day" General Miles is OF
the opinion that the death Of Sitting
Bull left the hostile conspiracy with
out head and that an early surrender
is probable.
