GEORGES EARLY LIFE.
Editor Murat Halstead Lectures
in the Carteret Club About
Washington.

When Murat Halstead, the well known
editor, stepped on to the platform in the
lecture hall of the Carteret Club last
night to talk about Washingten's early
life on the Ohio, he carried under his
arm a large parcel containing manu-
scripts, pamphlets and other data rela-
tive to the subject matter of the lecture,
and ladies and gentlemen sitting in front
of him felt that they were in for it.
Divfning their thoughts, Mr.. Halstead
said, with a smile:-
"A member of Congress once at a ses-
sion of the House brought a huge pile
of books in with him, and said he. I'm
not going to read them all; but if anyone
~contradicts me I nave the data here to
shut him up"
Their fears Gained, the auditors s'held
their ears :.
Mr.. Halstead. a distinguished looking
gentleman who possesses an agreeable
voice. began to describe the bust of
Washington in the Capitol and passed
around a photograph of the same. The
he described the birthplace of the father
Of his country. in the swampy district
lying. near the Chesapeake Bay. Here
the lecturer entered a mild protest
against those ladies who put statues UP
IN honor of the mother of the first
President and who studiously neglected
the father.
His tomb" said Mr.. Halstead. "has
fallen. in and there is not a stone to
record the place Where his ashes rest"
EATtI1Y MILITARY LIFE.
Mr.. Haistead then rapidly reviewed the
early military training of George Wash
ington as major on the staff of Lieuten-
ant Governor Dinwiddie of the British
Colony of Virginia in 1851; how by his
acumen and ability he was advanced
and finally entrusted with a mission to
sOhio River and order that individual to
retire to Canada.
Reading. from his copious notes, the
lecturer described Major Washington's
Journey through the woods with his
guide. Chest. to the fort on the OHIO
. officers. who 1tdosed themselves with
wine and gave away the French plans .
Then followed an interesting narrative OF
WaShington's return and an engagement
subsequently, with a detachment OF
GEoRGE GAVE THE ORDER,
ssgaye the. order to his men to fire on
them, and this first act of bloodshed
was the beginning of the war. between
the British and the French. the result
and the establishment of the sovereignty
of England over the land of North
America"
THE delightful. chatty lecture was con-
cluded by the reading Of letters written
BY the FRENCH c~om = and to Goyerno q o
writing and the praise of the young
major from even his enemies.
Al vote of thanks was accorded to the
brilliant editor for his entertaining talk.

South JERSEYS Democratic 1nciina-

Camden is in line to give Candldate
Griggs the smallest kind of majority.
The Democracy there is Thoroughly Or
ganized. The best element CT the party
has come TO the front for McGiH, and
s.the boys, are not idle either. OF course.
If is shocking that this should be so.
The Republican papers will be virtuously
indignant at the number members OF
the party even presuming to vote, and
as for anyone who has ever been an
active hustler in politics, why it is noth-
ing less than a crime for him to lift mis-
hand in this campaign. Yet such is the
perversity of man that the politician

Republican saints caniption fits, and it is
sad to think how they do hustle out the
voters and get them to the polise2tllat is,
it is sad for the man they are voting
against.
The Republicans have been claiming
that they would carry Camden county
by 800. This is one OIL Inc absurd as
sumptions on which they figure out a
majority for Griggs. The inside fact IS
that they are striving with desperation
to get 1900, while well posted Democrats
declare that they cannot carry the coun-
ty at all.
It is altogether a mistake to think that
South Jersey is in good shape fosSthe Re

counties are sure to go Democratic.
In Cumberland. there is a great deal OF
soreness. Senator Stokes is in bad odor
with a large number of extreme Repub-
licans. In all the glass blowing towns,
too. there is great disaffection. caused
by strikes and tariff deception. Mr.
Griggs and Senators Stokes M Voor-
hees are doing their best to produce a
better feeling by what they call their
.whirlwind tour but all the Philadel-
phia papers agree that their audiences
are, below par in point of number and
absolutely frigid in spirit. Griggs is
reported to be much disheartened.

cet OUT and Hustle. Gentlemen.

In this campaign, so far. there has
been a lack of energy on the part of the
Assembly candidates. They should be
out hustling for themselves and the
ticket generally. There has been a little
too much of the wall flower business so
far. It is loss of time for these gentle
men to go to big meetings. where there
is no chance for them to talk. and sit
on the platform for purely ornamental
purposes. Half the audience do not
know who they are. They would be
doing far more good work around the
