TIL. Political Outlook In Hunteraon.

|
The Political Outlook In Hunterdon.
A correspondent of the Newark Daily
Advertiser, writing from this county,
makes the following report of the politi-
cal outlook in this county:
There will he a local fight for Sheriff
and Assembly. The list of Republican
asplrants is long enough TO indicate that
| the Republicans are not without hope.
The list is headed by John T. Cox, who
WAS until rec emily the worthy grand mas
| ter OF the Patrons OF Husbandry OF New
| Jersey. lie Is known as the Granger
| candidate, and the fact that he is making
such an active canvass and believes he
can be elected, doubly discounts the
claim OF the silver leaders that the
Changers have all gone over 10 Bryan,
for Cox will depend largely on his Gran
ger associates for support. Charles
Felmly, Of Pennington, and Judson
Horne, Of Ringoes, are also named.
The Democrats have a large list. Gin.
ton Township, where the silvertes pre-
vail, has tho leading candidate, George
Frecb, who is a farmer. Next in line
is William McCrea, OF Readington John
Ramsey, OF Remington, who is couft
constable ; John Il. Smith, the Freebooter
from Holland Township, and HCzskiah
Eick, Clinton.
The Democrats will give David Lawshe
q second term, but William G. Alpaugh,
the veteran OF the House for two years,
has left Hunterdon and gone 10 Mercer
to live. There are half dozen men who
are anxious to sit at the vacant Hunter
don desk in the Assembly Chamber.
George Martin, of Germantown, Is
nephew of Alvah Clark, and is ambitious
to go TO Trenton. He is New York
business man. William g. Gebhart, of
Clinton, is II jersey City lawyer who
seeks the nomination. The others are
Andrew Flomelfelt, Hezekiah Eick, both
OF Clinton, and John l.. Cramer, OF Gin
ton.
The Republicans will probably have
| as Assembly candidates Judson Horn, OF
Ringoes, who is also mentioned in con-
neclion with the nomination for Sheriff.
The upper dlstrict will be given TO John
Haines, who ran on the ticket last fall
and made good canvass.
The Congressional drift is to ex-Con-
gresham Augustus w. Cutler. The
farmers want him this year. The poll
ticians 10 some extent, favor Cornish.
Ex-C Congressman J. Nelson Pidcock is
against Cornish because he ran short
of postofllces. He promised many good
men to make them p. NJ. g, but the offices
were scarce. Pldcock Is bitterly opposed
to him, and is pushing ex-senator Mar
tin to the front, but he finds 1t hard
nushinU Cutler'a noaition Ia that he will
not oppose Cornish. He will accept the
nomination II given TO him without
strife. The impression prevails that the
delegates will be selected by the Cornish
lieutenants. There is nothing 10 sight
that indicates that Congressman Pilney
lie not as popular as he was two years
ago. He may do as well here as before.
The Republicans do not expect to carry
The county. but they are going to see
how near they can do 1t.

A .Rsa,n on His rraxsls.

A young swell who represented him
self to be "Don Stewart" reporter
for the "New York World" rode gaily
into Remington last Thursday after
noon on bicycle that he had hired of
a Mr.. Abbott, in Lembertville, and
which he had promised TO return that
night. lie did not do so, but engaged
q room at the Union Hotel. On Friday
he attended a picnic at Neshanic, com
ing back TO Pennington in the evening.
At about the hour of his return Justice
Kline received a telegram from Mir.
Abbott to arrest the fellow az a bicycle
thief. The Justice interviewed the
young swell and he told such straight
story OF his connection with the bike
that the arrest was not made. Early
Saturday morning Mr. Abbott came to
Pennington and he and Justice Kline
again overhauled the young man. Mr.
Abbott claimed 5000 for the expense
he had been put to on account OF the
bicycle, and this the young man re.
fused to pay. He was then threatened
with arrest, whercupon he admitted
that he hadn't any money, but stated
that if he could be allowed to go down
the street he could borrow the amount OF
friend. His request was granted. He
never came back, and the probabilities
are that he took long walk leading from
Lambertville and Pennington where he
also has hotel bills. The "Worldn tele.

The Work of Classifying the

LONDON, Feb. 7.-The financial article
in the Times this morning speaking OF
the bids for the United States loan says:
Allowing for all deductions through du-
plicate tenders, etc, the result must be
as satisfactory to the United States gov
ernment as such loan could be,
Probably the gold held in readiness
will not only supply the first installmenr
but will furnish portion of ihe second d
installment, if it can be retained for that
purpose. 1t is quite plain that the
American people including all the lead
ing men and business and financial in
stitutions are not afraid that congress
will pass measures yet committing the
country to the silver standard.
Still, we cannot regard the loan as any
thing but temporary palliative. The
second ius allment may be forthcoming,
but it is difficult to see how the three
succeeding installments can be met in
gold, unless European confidence re-
wives to such an extent that American
securities will again be bought freely in
Europe. Undoubtedly the present
remarkable display of confidence by the
American people will help in that direc-
tion, but the careful investor will con-

SAYS BURTON SAID 1T.
The st. Louis Republic Stands Good
for Hts Story.

The St. Louis Republic Stands Good
for ITS Story.
The following appears in today's ST.
Louis Republic:
When John r. Burton of Kansas, gos-
siped with his old friend John Tanner
at the Southern hotel during the recent
meeting OF the Republican subcommittee
he was in good humor and as near to
peace with mankind as his volatile ma
ture ever permits.
As usual, he talked chiefly about him
self, occasionally dropping comment
regarding his old-time enemy. ex-Sena-
tor Ingalls,.
Such parts of Burton's conversa-
ton as had been heard by Re-
public representative, and were con-
sidered available for publication,
morning. The gentleman from Kan
sas requested that some of his remarks
should not be published and his wishes
were respected. But the Burton style
was too closely fallowed and one of the
expressions used has created a hubbub
in the Sunfower state. Among other
characteristic expressions appeared the
following: ''The fight will be between
ingalls, and me. There is some talk of
other candidates, but the small fry will
drop out"
When the friends of ex- Chief Justice
Horton and admirers of other we'll known
Kansas politicians who want to go to the
senate and are considered 13 inch guns
at home saw this reference to "the small
fry" there was an uprising from Chey-
enne to Wyandotte, and Burton senate
rial stock began to decline. Burton
finally denied the interview.
Aspiring statesmen often deny inter-
views when the reception of their re-
marks is contrary to expectation. There
is, however, in the conversation of every
public man of any strength whatever an
individuality of expression which makes
it an easy matter for the public to tell
at glance when AN interview is OBJ
tanned direct or from a third person.
The Burton interview may be unfor-
tunate for the Abilene statesman, but he
has only his consuming desire to pose to
thank for it.
If the Kansas fry are small they can
at best only poster him.

tinue to feel misgivings until the present
monetary system is reformed.
The Times also has an editorial on the
loan in which it heartily congratulates
President Cleveland and the people.
"The success of the loan," the
Times says, sis personal
triumph for the president and
is the most convincing counter dem
onstration to the silverites' agitation that
could possibly be supplied. But it is too
early to assume that the silverites are
crushed. Our correspondent in America
seems to think that the difficulty has
been largely disposed of, but the
point is not easy to determine in the first
glow of exultation of the unquestionab BILE
financial success. The impression here
is that after little time the chronic diff
ficulties of the situation will be found to
remain pretty much unchanged"
The Standard says in an EDITORIAL
Granting its expediency the loan is a
great success. Its most satisfactory
feature is the proof that Americans do
not fear that the silver standard will be
adopted. From this point of view it is
comforting to foreign investors in Ameri-
can securities.

BILLS AFFECTING PACKERS.

They BaVe Been Introduced in Congress
and are of Interest To Kansas CitY.
From the State Journals Special Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Feb 7.-6everal general
bills have been introduced in congress
which if adopted would affect the pack
ing houses of Kansas City, Kas.
One is to provide for a state trade
mark for all manufactured articles ex-
ported. Another is defining "filled
cheese" and regulating its manufacture
and sale. Filled cheese is defined as THAI
produced from skinned milk, cotton
seed or in which taliow is used. A tax
of $500 is placed on wholesale dealers
in filled cheese and $40 on retail deal
ers. Ii is not known here whether the
Kansas City packing houses make FLIED
cheese or not but the Armours are watch :
ing the progress of the bIii and must
therefore be interested in its provisions.

pull it off today and urging him to have
the signing of the bill expedited.
Mr.. Cockrell talked with Mr.. Catron
and found that the latter was doing
everything in his power to push the
bill and wired his constituents that it
would probably become law without
delay.

the bill, says that the bill will reach the

Many of the residents of Bound
