The Race Tracks and the %Shrievalty.
The talk OF DR.. Scudder and some
of the other pastors about race
track gambling in connection with
the Snrievalty campaign is an extra
ordinary emanation of ~irrelevancy
and il~logicalness. How do the race
tracks enter into the Shrievalty cam
paign7 The race tracks and all that
goes OF within their precincts are
protected by law. The three acts
passed by the Bad Legislature govern
the whole matter so long as they re-
main nnrepealed or so long as they
have not been declared invalid by
the courts. The Sheriff cannot go
behind the statute book and neither
can the Grand Jury. Colonel Toffey,
If he were elected tomorrow could not
lift q finger against Gutenberg, and a
Grand Jury Of twenty-three ministers,
all members of the Moral Reform As
ISOLATION, could not indict its man
ayers. II they did, the court would
throw 1t out on a bare motion.
There would be reason and common
sense, at least, in making the race
tracks an issue in the Assembly con-
tests. 1t would be fair play, for
those who think that way to oppose
Hugh A. Kelly, for instance, because
he acted as a tool of Billy Thompson
all last winter; but it is unfair, unjust
and irrelevant to drag into the
struggle between Sheriff Stanton and
Colonel Toffey a question over which
neither one car have any more infiu-
ence than he can over the phases OF
the noon.
Let Us look at this matter squarely.
The racetrack laws are now on the
statute book. They are SURE to stay
there for at least another year. Even
If the Assembly should be carried by
men pledged to repeal them, the
Senate remains unchanged. Four
teen out of twenty-one members will
be the same as last winter.
This is plain matter of fact. You
may like it or not; but you cannot
alter it. Now what is the use of
taking a racetrack issue in the Shriev-
atty fight, when truth and m
sense show it does not belong there?

APRoPos of the clerical campaign.
it is well to remember this, that every
n of the gentlemen who is shouting
SO loud for Colonel Toffey is a hide
bound republican. If you nominated
the Angel Gabriel on the Democratic
ticket, not n of them would say a
good word for him. They are doubt
less in a way sincere in the fine epic
wrath they display in their pulpit
politics; but be very sure inclination
and duty go hand in hand.
