Down in Chester township the advo-
Gates of Samuel w. Shinn are spreading
story to the effect that Mark r. Sooy
said "that William W. Worrell is incom
petent to fill the Clerks Office and that he
does not know the first principles of
book -keeping" Mr.. Sooy called at THE
News office, on Saturday, and denied this
accusation in every particular, and fur
Their declared that he has reason to be-
lieve to the contrary. He has had occa-
sion to look into some of Mr.. Worrel's
book-k eeping for Evesham township,
and by reason of its minute correctness
Mr.. Sooy's labors for the townships inter
est were materially lessened. Just before
the meeting of the Republican conyen-
ton that nominated Mr.. Worrell, Mr..
Sooy was waited upon by gentleman
who said he was delegate to the con-
vention, who asked what kind of man
Worrell was. Mr.. Sooy replied that he
was man of ability, a good book-keep-
err, and with more than ordinary ability
as a penman Upon this recommendation
the delegate voted for Mr.. Worrell. So
much for that lie.

THERE is no state from which the vote
will be awaited with more interest on
Tuesday night than New Jersey. The
disgrace the Democratic party has brought
on the state is national shame. Ballot
box stufing, race track legislation and
gerrymander that puts to the blush many
of the worst outrages of this kind, are the
fruits of Democratic control. All this has
been made possible by the Democratic
party having the governorship and ma
iorlty in both houses of the legislature.
The people will have an opportunity
now to overthrow this majority in the
legislature and make it possible to undo
these ubiquitous laws. One-third of the
senate and an entire lower house are to
be elected. If New Jersey neglects this
opportunity to set herself right before
the country, the intelligent, honest peo-
pie of that state, who must be in a ma
iority, cannot find fault if they are sci
down as asquiescing IN New Jerseys dis
grace. - PHILADELPHIA Press.

when Mr.. Worrell was Clerk of Evesham
township, William Garwood, who was at
one time Collector, was called upon to
settle his accounts. HI claimed that the
township owed him several hundred dol
lars. The books of the township were ex-
amined, and the records kept by Mr.
Worrell were so complete, especially in
minor details, that there was no difficulty
whatever in reaching conclusion So
accurate were Mr. Worrel's books that
it was matter of favorable comment, not

the township, but by Prosecutor Budd,

records as completely as Mr.. Worrell did.
And what is more to the point they were
strictly correct, and showed exactly the
opposite of what Garwood claimed. Per-

gave the Herald the substance ofthe above
false item, for Sheriff Shnn says Garwood
is the Herdld's source of information.

THE Burlington Gazette says: James
Bramall, Jr, is the Democratic candidate,
and he is running on the platform of that
party" What is that platform? The
county Democratic convention did not
dare denounce the race track legislation
of last winter, and the convention at
which Bramall was nominated was in
the same boat. So both of those gather
ings declared that the platform of the
last National Democratic convention was
good enough. They therefore stand on
record as endorsing platform under the
working of which there has been more
misery ard suffering wrought than the
country has had for years. That plat
form has back of it an entirely Demo-
cratic administration and in the eight
months of its control of the government
we have seen banks breaking, mills and
factories closing, and idleness forced upon
thousands. James Bramall, Jr., stands
upon that platform.

In THE New Jersey election this year
the moral issue is as sharp and urgent as
in our own, and precisely the same ele-
ments have raised it, The State Legisla-
ture at Trenton, by lavish and corrupt
use of money obtained from gamblers and
racetrack proprietors, was secured by the
election of 1892 to gang of knaves. They
called themselves Democrats, but by any
other name they would have smelled as
foul So far as the facts allow, we have
every disposition to acquit the Democratic
voters of responsibility for them. This
would be easier TO do, however, if the viii
lany of which they were guilty had been
disowned by the Democrats. But it wasn't
and isn't. On the contrary, after passing
series of shameless laws, intended not
only to promote gambling and unfair rae
ing, but actually to shield the gamblers in
the free practice of the most vicious sort
of 'sure-thing" frauds, the rascals have
come up again with the spoils of another
Democratic nomination. The Democratic
machine in New Jersey is absolutely
within their control, and their crimes,
past and prospective, against the honor
and welfare of the state have become
Democratic principles.
If these men are returned to the Legis-
lature, New Jersey will be given over to
vice in all its low and abominable FORMS
If men can be reelected who have prosti-
tuted the State as these creatures haye,
legalizing all the gamblers tricks that
make racing a vile and dishonest business
instead of an honorable sport, the forces
of evil will have victory which will rem
der any and all reform impossible for
years to come. Nothing in outrage, in
contempt for public opinion or in rank in
decency could exceed the performances of
the gamblers man, Flynn, whom they put
into the Speakers chair last winter; but if
they are permitted to do it again, who
shall say that this racetrack starter, this
gamblers tool and pride, is not precisely
fitted to be the Speaker of Jersey Legis-
lature? He and the Gloucester Boss,
| Thompson, and all the rest of them, will
be returned, if at ALL because they dis
graced the State, because they passed foul
and corrupting laws, and, indeed, because
they did it in particularly outrageous
way. Then, what is the answer to the
charge or the claim that these are just the
kind of laws and theirs the kind of prac-
tees suited to the character and intelli-
gence of the electorate of New Jersey p

The greatness of this country, the
stability of its institutions, and the
future spread out before it cause the
people of outlying territory to want to
get into the same family government
under the Stars and Stripes. Not only
are the Hawaiians, or a part Of them
at least, clamoring for annexation, but
the Canadians are knocking for ad-
mission also. In the town of Windsor,
Ontario, few days ago vote was
taken on this subject and out of 44o
votes cast 413 were in favor of it.
But the United States can get along
very we'll without any more territory
and taxation. This country is quite
large enouge already and if We take
care of what we have and make
foreign nations respect our rights on
the high seas we will be doing pretty

GRESHAMIN THE CABINET.

If reports are true the selection of
Judge Walter Q. Gresham for the first
position in President Cleveland's
Cabinet has been confirmed by the
President-elect himself. Of course
there are various opinions as to the
wisdom of such choice while all con-
cede the high character, purity and
ability of Judge Gresham and recog-
nize his fitness for the position, but
there are those who think the portfolio
of Secretary of State should have been
given a man whose Democratic ante
cedents and services to- the party
antedate his. But in the main the
people if not the politicians have con-
fdence in Mr.. Cleveland and are
entirely willing to trust his wisdom and
political sagacity. AS the Richmond
State says:
Many Democrats will no doubt
criticise Mr.. Cleveland for taking into
his cabinet so new a member of the
great Democratic host. But the
Democracy may rest assured that the
President-elect has given the matter
most serious consideration and that he
believes in making the selection he is
doing good thing for the party.
Judge Gresham is pure man, a
patriot and man of great learnln g
and talents. He enjoys the confidence
of the whole country, and is especially
popular with the agricultural class. II
the independents and old Republicans
who came over to the Democratic
party-"our honorable allie" to
be recognized, certainly no man could
be more acceptable to the Democracy
than Gresham.

WHAT Henderson needs is factor

WHAT Henderson needs is factories
small industries of various kinds,
and a number of them-to furnish
employment for hundreds Of operatives
and utilize our abundant raw materials.
While we do not expect any man to
put his money into such things simply
to "help the town." they should take
stock in and encourage any enterprise
that promises good return for the
capital invested. If there is one class
of persons who ought to be more inter-
ested in factories than another, it is the
merhants. What a difference it
would make in their trade if few
thousands of dollars could be turned
loose every week among factory
operatives! Our merchants, con-
tractors and builders, capitalists and
lot owners should interest themselves
in starting factories OF such kind and
character as give employment to labor
at living wages.
