thus juggles with the facts in the Terhune-
Bradley imbroglio:-
You do not throw any light on the public
suspicion that the Republican treacnery Of
which Mr.. Bradley spoke on election night
was the GOODNESS of the Republican leaders to
him, which has been mentioned as your sole
contribution to Mr.. Terhune's election.-The
young man deserved more than this from
you, and would have received more from
anoyone not so penurious as you,
if only as a compensation for having to
bear your deserved unpopularity.
Nor do you deny that it was while you
were ~oscillating between the Monmouth
ian Church of this city-fguring now
as a real old sport, and now as one
willing to bear all the privations of a Chris
tian exemplar-that your nephew and imita-
tor stood up ON the floor of the Senate and
drew the knife of political death across his
political throat, by casting his vote in favor
of the race track bills, upon the avowed pre-
tence that while hundreds of people had ask
ed him to do so, no one, not even his wise and
pious uncle, guide, prototype and future
benefactor, had asked him not to.
Nor do you deny that his defeat came from
that act, committed with your knowledge. if
not your approval; and that it would not
have come if he had not, like you, been
blinded into believing that the money of the
race track gamblers would be more effective
in the ensuing election than all the pulpits in
Monmouth county!
You undertake to charge this result, or
some of it, against the True american, be-
cause | refused to subordinate the great
moral issues involved to the partisan exigen-
cies of the occasion. So be cit. l do not deny
that, nor do l deny that my Judgment of
the political advantage to be gained by
electing a Senator from Monmouth was not
a little controlled and modified by the
knowledge that the Democratic Senator
would be considered by you to be an instru-
ment for carrying on your malignant pur-
poses, purposes that would more than once,
had they been able, have defeated Demo-
cratic candidates for Senator in Monmouth;
Democratic Governors and Congressman in
New jersey, and Democratic nominees for
the United States Senate.
THE JOURNALS BLUNDER.
A portion of Mr.. Mars remarks in reply
to Mr.. Little's exposure of the Newark
Journals idiotic blunder, is omitted here.
There is reason to suspect that it contains a
disgusting double entendre. Perhaps it was
not so intended. For common decencv's
sake, it is to be hoped it was not. But it
has been generally commented ON in Tren-
ton. Such portion as will safely bear publi-
cation is as follows
For some unexplained reason you involve
me in a responsibility for the error of the
Newark Journal in speaking of your s'son-
in-law," n undertake to prove, by an
absence of the usual records, that you never
married. The Journal has evidently not
been informed that you are too selfish to get
married; that it would be like parting with
your heartstrings to invest n woman even
with an inchoate right of dover.
AcHAPTER ON PAP.
Mr.. Naar winds up with the following
pathetic expressions upon the subject of
pap
1t is natural to one of your sordid and
grasping mind to attribute to another's
actions motives of self gain. l will not argue
this with you, because you are utterly in
capable of understanding or approaching
any sentiment not based on selishness.
The idea of such q political p~ensionary as
you cunning over the Treasurer's report to
figure up now muchI had earned from the
Statel You, who were so cranlmed with
official pap, that it has made you thin to

want to work for the State of New Jersey in
the line of my business, and I want to work
for other people, unless they are as grasping
as you are.
When it comes to my profits, or my way of
spending them. l only object that they shall
be considered in the perverted light which
your money-grasping, venal nature would
put upon them.
Here endeth the second round.
