BENDER.
"Ou BENDER" is peculiarly expressive
phrase. To bend anything is to strain it,,
to turn it out its course, to cause it TO
yield.
Many mans conscience and sense OF
honor and propriety have been strained
aud the man himself turned ont of his
course because he was ''on Il bender"
When uai is in such a condition
every body understands that both bis re-
gut alton and character are bending under
the load of obliqny that is certain to
avertake him; that the bent of his life is
towards evil; that his mothers heart,
and perhaps wife's is not only bent but
breaking with anxiety and sorrow, and
eventually the result W i'll be a fearful bend

Some duffer. we believe it the New
Brunswick Times, takes issue with the
State Gazette, Trenton, in the assertion
that "a majority of the people of New
Jersey are r R.publicans on national issues,
and demands the proof. The Gazette
gives it as follows:
In 1878, when the Republicans had a
4jority of 10 $40 over the Democrats ou
the Congressional vote of the State. 1u
1886. when the r publicans had 3 23S ma
jority over the Democrats on the Cougres-
sional vote of the State. In 1888. when
the Republicans had majority of 1875
over the DEMOCRATS.

the Hudson county political incubator

confidentially regarded the 'masheen' in
