SENATORIAL CONVENTION.
Gabriel q. RObbinS of CONNER
cial for Coroner. The COnven-
tiOn's Splendid Work.

A CLEAN SWEEP IN NOVEMBER
The Republicans of the County, as
represented by their delegates, gath
cred yesterday In the Court House
for the purpose of making nomina-
tions for Senator and Coroner.
The delegations were pretty much
all present from every ward and town
ship, and there seemed to be an en-
thusiastic determination to make nom
nations which would aid the ticket
from beginning to end. Before the
Convention was called to order there
was good deal of buzzing about
among the delegates, and there was q
good deal being said about the Execu-
tive Committee which would be ap-
pointed at the Convention.
1t was slightly past the hour of ten
when Walter H. Bacon, Chairman OF
the Convention of a year ago, called
the meeting to order.
MIR. Bacon said that he had for the
benefit of the Convention, 500 copies
of the Republican League Organ, and
also maps of the infamous gerryman-
der, which had been posted about the
room.
Charles E. Bellows was chosen
Chairman of the Convention.
Chas. B. Moore and P. Kennedy
Reeves were appointed committee
to escort Mr.. Bellows to the chair.
Mr.. Bellows thanked the Conven-
ton for the honor, and the Conven-
tion proceeded to the election of Sam
uel L. Sheldon, of Millvile, as Secre-
tary, which was done by acclamation.
The Chair appointed the following
committees
Credentiais-Wm. Ballenger, VIM,
Bigelow, Josiah higgins, VIM. J.
Moore, s. w. Moore.
Rules and Resolutions-George Aus
tin, I. T. Nichols, R. M. Weston. P.
K. Reeves, Elijah Parvin.
During the interval while the COM
mitteess were out, the delegates killed
time by reading the interesting con-
tents of the Republican League Organ.
Committee on Credentials reported
no contests.
The Committee On Resolutions re-
ported as follows:
1. The Republicans of Cumberland
County endorse the wise and patriotic
administration of President Harrison
and ask for it the united suffrage of
the Republican voters and all other
citizens of the County, without regard
to party who have the good of the
country at heart.
2. The watchword of the campaign
is Protection and Reciprocity, the
twin sisters of national prosperity.
Under the Mckinley Tariff Act of
1890, the country has been prosperous
and happy, and while it remains the
law of the land, the smoke from the
chimney will never go out or the
wheels of industry cease to hum.
8. Under the Blaine Reciprocity pro-
vision, trade between nations on this
continent will bring to our shores
great commercial prosperity, and re-
store the American flag to seas from
whose waters it has so long been ab-
sent.
4. The nomination of Hon. John
Kean, Jr., Republican candidate for
Governor of New Jersey, is heartily
endorsed and conceded. We believe
that the time is ripe for a change in
the administration of State affairs, and
that with Republican Governor and
a Republican Legislature in Trenton,
the obnoxious laws enacted during the
past two years, will be repealed, and
the rights of the people which have
been usurped by Democratic Legisla
lures be again reinstated on the sta
tute books, from which they were so
arbitrarily wrested.
In this connection we demand most
emphatically the repeal of the iniquit-
GUS Board of Excise Commission act,
which has taken from the people of
Cumberland county the right of local
self government and made the suffrage
a farce. The act is one of the most
tyrannical ever perpetrated on free
people, autocratic and unrepublican
Unless rebuked at the polls, such
measures will end the rule of the ma
jority, and destroy Republican insti.
tutions.
5. The nomination of Henry @.
Loudenslager, of Gloucester county,
Republican candidate for Congress in
the First District, is also endorsed and
ratified, as is that of the nominees oil
this Convention for Senator and Coro,
ner, and the entire Republican ticket.
