The Stockton correspondent OF the

just protest against growing evil
81 wish to call the attention Of those
who read my communication to certain
kind of smoking tobacco done up in
packages, and which is commonly known
as old Honesty Each package contains
picture, some of which are too foul to
describe in print. These nasty pictures
are often pasted up where they meet the
eyes of little children, as well as to the
annoyance of decent men and women. II
is a burning shame that such blackguard-
ism is made a subject OF merchandise
throughout the country. Measures should
be at once taken TO check this blushing
evil at all hazards.
The best way to check IT, outside Of le-
gal means, is for all decent dealers to re-
fuse to sell it.

Mr.. Cornish's 'ssnapn Convention, held
In this town last Tuesday, was slow In
getting to work. Though called for IL
o'clock, it was considerably nearer than
- before Judge Johnson, of Essex, called
it to order, and launched out into little
speech In which stupidity and absurdity
were about equally mixed. He said the
Democracy were opposed to the force bill
but favored fair and honest elections, for
getfnl alike of the fact that the so-called
force bill had not particle of force in it
and was only intended to secure fair and
honest elections in all parts Of the coun-
try, and Of the record of his party 10
Hudson county where its ranks have been
decimated by sending a horde of them to
the State Prison and the Penitentiary for
stuffing ballot-boxes. He also proclaim
ed that theylfavored tariff that would
''protect the interests of this district"
evidently regarding all interests outside of
it as without title to favor, and flying in
the face Of the declaration in the National
platform Of his party that Protection is
robbery. And this formed the keynote
OF oil the speeches made during the day
as well as OF the resolutions, so far as any
enunciation of principles were concerned.
Pidcock's right hand man, John Car
penter, was both the temporary and per.
manent President of the Convention, and
Pidcock's programme was fully carried
out. A vigorous speech against Cornish
was made by Warren county delegate,
who nominated Ford d. Smith, of this
county, and he was seconded by Judge
Yeaman. Judge johnson also named an
Essex county gentleman, more as blind
than in earnest apparently. But the
Cornish men had the Convention, and no
break could be made in their forces. The
informal ballot resulted largely in his
favor, Mr.. Smith getting but 20 votes and
the Essex county candidate %. A mo-
ton afterwards to make Cornish's nomi-
nation unanimous was three times put to
the Convention, but it brought out few
noes every time. He was brought before
the Convention after nearly half the dele
gates had left, and partly recited and
partly read from a newspaper slip q
speech that he had evidently carefully
prepared, which was profuse in thanks for
the honor, and 10 promises to represent
bis constituents faithfully, but failed to
make any declaration upon the tariff or
the currency question, upon the question
OF honest elections, or even upon the Coal
combined But he will hear a good deal
about the latter before the campaign
closes, and his vote for It, unless all signs
fall, may yet prove stumbling block 10
his way TO seat 10 Congress. = Norris

Veterans at Half Rates
via Reading Railroad System.

The 26th National Encampment Of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, at Wash
ington, d. c., will undoubtedly witness
greater gathering OF the Union soldiers of
the civil war than any that has taken

ing hosts in the capital at the close of the
rebellion. 1t will be an occasion OF In
tense interest, and to facilitate the attend
ance Of the great numbers who win desire

ton with the B. & o. r. R., will sell
special excursion tickets at rate of q
single fare for the round trip. These

New Jersey outside Of Hudson county is
Republican In national elections, has ex-
cited considerable attention. 1t IL true,
and more than that Is true. New Jersey
is not Democratic State with Hudson
county included. The returns will show
that in four elections out Of every five
the Democrats are in a minority OF the
total vote cast IN New Jersey. There is
not Democratic majority 10 this State.
