II is TO be hoped that an end has come 70 the
reasonable prejudice which certain Republicans
Of that section have entertained against General

The votes of Senator johnson and Assembly,
man Voorhees, were not influenced by the rea-
sOn assigned. and that is practically so in the
case Of Senator Johnson. The Bergen Senator
Is a warm friend Of Senator Thompson, and MS
vote was cast for Thompson regardless OF what
any leader thought or desired. But the appear
Tor party harmony is nevertheless timely Inc
best way TO secure 1t and deserve success Is ior
all Republicans TO do their share toward redeem
ing the party's pledges.
