THE LAST issue of the Christian ADVOCATE
edited by Rev. James NJ Buckley, con-
tains an appeal to the "Men of New Jer.
sey," which says:
"Will you wipe off the deep disgrace in
f1icted upon your State. and upon every
city, town, village and hamlet within its
bounds, by the lease to the gamblers of
your legislative power?
You know that the chaplain of one OF
the penitentiarles of pennsylvania declares
that more than forty cases of clerks i'm.
Prisoned for embezzling, whose crimes are
traceable to the Gloucester races, have
passed under his notice that Monmouth
and Guttenburg are centres and sinks OF
corruption in its three worst forms-gam-
bling, intemperance and RIGHTEOUSNESS.
You know that the money or political
promises of the owners of these immortal
establishments bought most of those votes
some were tempted for the occasion,
others, elected for their known subservi.
ency, were paid In advance,
Will you make this the issue and vote
for no man unless he will pledge himself
to vote for the repeal of the race track
laws, and unless he has character enough
to make his word worth something?
Ignore ordinary party issues and throw
off the corrupt incubus

WILLIAM w. WoRRELL Republican can
didate for Clerk, liz the choice of the Re-
publicans of the township of Evesham,
and if there ever was a township emit
tied to recognition for valuable services to
the party it is Evesham. Two instances,
at least, may be referred to. In 1862
when Charles s. Kemble ran for Sheriff,
be was elected by SO majority, Evesham
giving him SO majority. When W. Budd
Deacon was first elected to the Assembly,
it was by Is majority. In this case, too,
Evesham stood nobly by the Republican
ticket, and gave Deacon Sc majority. 1t
can readily be seen how valuable this aid
was in those elections, and now Evesham,
for the first time in many years, asks that
her good work be rewarded. Her re-
quest will be granted. William w. Wor-
rell will be elected

ABOUT month ago the Republicans OF
Burlington county assembled in conven-
ton and nominated a ticket. The wis
dom of that action was praised then, and
now, after four weeks of vigorous work
and with all chances offered to discover
any flaws in that ticket, we hear nothing
but praise and commentator for our NOM
inees, who have made friends wherever
they have presented themselves, and they
have traversed the county pretty well.
All that is now needed is a full vote next
Tuesday, and then the work of the con-
yention will be ratified.

WILLIAM A. TOWNSEND, Republican can
didate for Sheriff, is farmer, working
man, an honest man, without any stains
upon his character. perfectly qualified to
fill the Office to which he aspires. His
manners are pleasant and his temper is
such that he does not fly into passion at
every little thing that may try his pa
thence. Prisoners under his charge would
be dealt with firmly but humanely. In
fact, he is just the man for chief officer Of
the county. Mr.. Townsend should be
elected by a rousing majority.

INPLAIN and straightforward fashion the
platform adopted by the Essex County
Republican Convention makes appeal:
To every voter who believes in restor.
ing and preserving the political rights OF
which the people have been deprived by
the gerrymanderings of the state and cen.
tralization and usurpation of power.
To every voter who believes in local
selEgovernment and home rule.
To every voter who is opposed to the
needless multiplication of offices and the
extravagant use of public patronage and
public money to further the interests of q
political party.
To every voter who desires to see the
laws passed for the benefit of professional
race-track gamblers wiped from the statute
books of New Jersey.
To every voter who desires that the
State school funds shall not be diverted
from their proper use.
To every voter who opposes the diver.
sion of public funds to unconstitutional
uses.
To every man in Burlington county in.
terested in good government the plat
form appeals with the force of truth and
knowledge. Every man who is at all in
formed in regard to the condition o.
things prevailing here knows only toe
well bow true is the declaration with
which the long list of demands for the
correction of legislative and administra
tive evils closes:
The Democratic party under Its present
management can not be trusted to work
for these ends. Their whole action for
the last three years has been one oil
broken promises, disgraceful partisan eau
Gus legislation and the invasion of popular
rights and of constitutional government
There can be no remedy till that rule Ii
ended.

DoN'T stay at home on election day
Don't get the idea that your vote is not
needed and that the loss of one vote will
not be of any account. Just stop and con-.
slider what the effect would be ifan average
of 10 Republicans in each election district
in this county should refuse to vote. There
are SO districts, and that would mean the
loss of nearly 400 votes Is there any diff
ficulty in seeing how disastrous would be
the result? Let every Republican say to
himself: "My vote is needed this year.
Free trade is agitated. The government
is in the hands of party that l cannot
trust. There is great financial depression.
Mills are closed down and thousands of
men are out of work. The race track
gamblers have control of my state. l
must enter my protest at the polls" Let
every Republican vote, then, and start the
ball rolling in the direction that will
eventually restore this country to the
management in which the people have
confidence.

JAMES BRAMALL, JR., Democratic candi.
date for Assembly in the first district, has
not answered any of the questions pro-
pounded to him in last weeks News, SC
that he stands to-day either unalterably
committed to the support of race track
measures, or else he is afraid of offending
his bosses by stating otherwise. On the
other hand. August c. Stecher, the Re-
publican candidate, has said, over bis
own signature, that he will vote against
all such legislation. People who are in
favor of good government should haye nc
trouble in deciding which of the two mer
to vote for.

STOKES PRIcKITT, Democratic candidate
for Steward of the Poor House, is said to
"be willing to act as Dory Gaskill's sue
cessor and he won't ask for a twenty
year term, either" Both of which state
ments are true He is very willing, and
il elected the change in management and
increase in expense would be so marked
that he would not be even given chance
to suggest that he would like SIX years.
But it is no use worrying over this matter.
Stokes has been called, but he will not be
chosen.

THE MOUNT HOLLY News has taken O
sudden interest in Howard f. Packer. II
the latter had been nominated for the AS.
sembly how THE NEWS would have howled
against him on the race track question:
Burlington Gazette.
The offence of THE News appears to lie
in calling Mr.. Packer honest, and we re-
peat here that nobody has ever dared i'm.
pugn that trait of his character. The Ga
zette is perfectly right when it says "THH
NEWS would have howled against him on
the race track question" His action on
that subject was wrong. but he was honest
for all that. He told it openly in advance
that he proposed to vote just as he did
which example, by the way, James Bra
mall, Jr., dare not follow, for he does not
say one word about how he proposes to
act on this point, if elected. Had Mr..
Packer been renominated THE News
would have opposed him and criticised
his official action, but we again assert that
he was manly and courageous and indie
pendent, and that these qualities were
the cause of his defeat, and the Gazette
dare not say otherwise.

THE Burlington Gazette thinks it has a
point in the fact that two Republican As
semblymen, who voted for race-track
measures, have been renominated. 1t
fails, however, to call attention to the fact
that in no county has any Democrat been
turned down for his vote in favor of such
legislation, but on the contrary Billy
Thompson and Tom Flynn, who pushed
the bills through regardless of decency,
have been renominated by their party.
Nor does the Gazette say word about the
endorsement of Democrat in Monmouth
by the Republicans and the withdrawal Of
a Republican candidate in Camden coun-
ty that the anti-race track Democrats
may have more chance Of election.

integrity has never been questioned, and

but 1t is of no higher standard than that
Of August Stecher, who has pledged him
self not to vote for race track gambling.
No man of integrity" would vote
for such an iniqultous measure and
any man of fearless and Independent
character would not hesitate to define his
position on the question. No need OF
running any risk on this point. stecher

fuses to open his lips

In speaking. on Friday, with delegate
to the county Democratic convention from
Northampton township, the exponent of
Jeffersonian principles was asked "Well,

least elect one" "Who Is that favored

HARD-PREssED, indeed, are the Demo
cratic candidates for argument, when they
stoop to such low methods as have char
acterized the movements of the advocates
of at least one of the nominees, who
threatened to turn grave-digger in one
instance. and in another case made a low
remark about lady, with the sole idea Of
gaming vote. This is despicable bust
ness, and decent people should set the
seal of indignation upon it by voting fol
the Republican candidates.

WILLIAM ROGERS, Democratic candidate
for Sheriff, is doing all in his power to Sc
cure election, and is seeking Republican
votes. He cannot be elected unless he
receives many of the latter, and the in
dications are that he will not be very sue
cessful in that line. Rogers ran for Sher-
itf once. and the contest was one of the
hottest ever known in this county. Then
he had united party at his back, every
member of which was willing that every
body should be defeated if the Sheriff was
elected. Rogers showed his full strength
then and was defeated. He has not done
anything to increase his popularity since.
Three years ago he wanted to be the can
didate, but he was compelled to stand
aside for Sheriff Shinn. This year he
pooled his chances with the Shinn crowd,
and secured the nomination. Nine years
ago his party was united, this year it is
disrupted by dissensions increased by the
very methods that secured Rogers the
nomination. Then his party was willing
to trade everybody that he might be elect
ed, now he will find that there are those
who will be willing to cut his name from
the ticket that they may succeed. AL
together, the outlook is not as rosy as il
was once upon a time. Rogers knows it
if he has any doubts upon the question,
they will be removed on November 7.

THE argument used most extensively by
the Democrats in advancing the qualities

ing, as taxpayers already know the i'm
mense value that both of these officials
have been to them.
