Naw Eaxpt,


Chafey & Brown are buying large guam
titles of agricultural implements.
Joseph Thompson, agent for q. W. Viii
kinson, has bought over two car loads Of
cranberries of CassvilIe parties.
While the Republicans carry the town
ship by substantial majorities in the fall
the Democrats control the local elections
as all Republicans now holding Office
were either elected on the Democatit
ticket or were not opposed by the Demo
cratic leaders.
The Republican party Of this township
should unite on candidate for the mex
Republican nomination for Assembly
It is high time Plumsted township wai
heard from. We have number of good
names to select from, such men as ex
Senator George D. Horner, Postmaster A
H. Stidfole, Elmer Cowperthwait, Frank
S. Gaskill, George L. Shinn and mum
Der of other staunch Republicans who
would fill the position with credit to the
county.
As the township election draws neal
the candidates for local Offices become
numerous. Neither party has as yet held
any caucus, hut the politicians are nc
doubt busy fixing the slate. W. Scot
Chafey, Township Committeeman, is moi
candidate for denomination, and severa
good men have been talked of for the
place. Among the most prominent men
toned for the Democratic nomination are
our basket maker, G. Frank Moore, and
our enterprising shoe maker, William I
Nash. Either of these gentlemen would
doubtless fill the position with credit
to the township. Mr.. Moore is new
conner, while Mr.. Nash has been engaged
in business here for years, and would
probably make a strong run. 1t looks
as if J. H. Davis. the present Collector
will be a candidate for reelection or
the Democratic ticket having made 9
record satisfactory to bis party. james
Larkin, the present Overseer of Poor, will
probably be a candidate for reelection
also. He has too many friends to be
thrown overheard, being Democrat Of
the Jacksonian type. George F. Comp
ton, the present Township Clerk, will nc
doubt be renomlnated and elected. On
the Republican side there seems to be
some speculation as to who will be the
standard bearers. Rumor has it that
James A. Irons is a candidate for the
nomination of Township Committeeman.
George B. Dunfee is mentioned as
a candidate for the nomination Of
Overseer of the Poor, while Rob
ert Bells name is also mentioned in
that connection. But at present writing
every thing is at sea. The Republicans
are not united, while the Democrats pre-
sent solid front. Last fall the Repub-
licans united and carried the township
for Harrison and Kean, but in the spring
they are about as much able TO cope with
the Democratic organization as the sew
eral Grecian Republics were able to cheek
the onward march of the ancient
Roman Empire. The present com.
plexion of the township officers is about
as follows: Judge, Joseph Camp, D.,
Clerk, George F. Compton, D., Board Of
Registration. o. F. Horner, Joseph Camp,
D., J. H. McKaig, 2. H. Bunting. R..
