PROSECUTOR wINFIELD'S ADDRESS
1.-The nominee of the Democratic party
for the Office of Sheriff is not unknown
to the people OF this county. For years
he was a constable in the city of Hobo
ken, and in attendance upon the courts.
He was also councilinau, aud then Mayor
of the City of Hobokeu.s Whils judge
Garretsol was Prosecutor of the Pleas
he took Mr. Stanton iuto his Office as
detective. Here he remained through
the term of Chancellor McGill, and dur
ing ten years OF my occupacT of that
Office. On the death Of Sheriff Me-
Phillips he was selected by Governor
Albeit to I'LL the unexpired term of the
Sheriff's Office. No man willdeuy that
Prosecutors Garrebson and McGill ana
Governor Albeit are good JUICES of
character ana know the requireme nts
and qualifications OF men who have
filled the office that Mr.. Stanton
has. Since has occupied his preseot po-
sition ne has conducted the business Of
his Office so promptly, honestly and efi-
ciently That no man can withhold his
approval. Suitors, lawyers and JUICES
unite in commenting him for the man
ner In which he has performed his duties.
Itit is fair to judge of tree by its fruits.
and of a man by his acts. then We say
that the judgment of MIR. Stanton must
be favorable.
LAWYER sEGUINE CHALLENGED.
but after ali these Years or his public
lite, and after receiving the commenda-
thu of so many men we'll known TO the
people of this county, ana after having
performed Llo duties OF MS OLQCe 80 as 70
commend himself to the lawyers who
have connection with that office. we are
told that he is ufir to remain where he
Is, because he is the official friend of
gamblers. and that he selects his
Grand Jury to protect their busi-
ness on the race tracks and in the
policy dens. Uniting In hie condemua-
ton snd in this bold slander, clergymeu
leave their pupits to preach a crusade
against him. A lawyer has said;-'Ie is
matter of record that he has protected
the gambling interests, and il he bs
elected we must expect that ne Will con-
tinue to serve then.' Ii that record ex-
lists 1t must be accessible. Where is it,
Seguiue? Produce 1t, and l say to you
aud to the people of this au Hence i'll the
utmost cabdor will abandon Mr.. Stan
ton and vote against him. VIII you be
as fair if snow that no such record ex-
lists, but that the contrary does? Will
you then vote for him?
HONEST REASONING.
''Let us reason together aud be honest
with each other. Stanton came TO his
Office December 20, 1892. Tue Grand
drawn. His first Grand Jury vas for the
April term, 1693 At that time betting
OH race tracks had been acted UPON by
the Legislature aud legallzsd. That
business, therefore, needed no protection,
for it was no crime. How lawyer ol

honest man.
"But it is also charged that Sheriff
Stanton has protected the policy men
aud the clergymen go SO far as to say tha
the Grand Jury of the April term was
selected for that purpose aud have pro
nouuced condemnation of the Sheriff
because he naue such selection.
'.Inis is a serious charge. and. II 10
made by reputabls men, would be hardly
worth consideration. Ii it is not true
then these clergymen, who are heading
these attacks upon Mr.. Stanton, shoult

politics without stirring upunnecessarily
