Foot at the Critical Moment.
From the Evening Sun.
Hop Lee, a Chinese laundryman, 81
years old, of No. Al Pell street, this city,
missed making himself famous this
morning as a bridge umper-by a foot.
1t was his left foot and it became
caught on a guy rope In such a way
as to delay the would-be hero long
enough to allow Bridge Policeman Har-
kins to run up, seize him and pull him
back.
The incident took place at o'clock
this morning a short distance this side
of the bridge tower. Policeman Har-
kins noticed the Chinaman pass, and
saw him glance furitively around when
at the point stated. Seeing no person.
the Chinaman then began to hurry. He
got excited too. He succeeded in pull
ing himself till his knees were on
level with the top rail He planted his
right foot on the rail, but, for some
reason, his left foot kept catching on
rope below. He jerked and tugged, but
could not manage to get IL up.
When Harkins saw what the Mon
golian was up to he ran toward him on
the double-quick. Lees inability to
manage his right foot gave Harkins
time to come up; and he, seizing the re-
fractory member gave Lee jerk that
landed him on his back in the middle
of the promenade.
What the devil do you mean, you
yellow rascal?" demanded Harkins as

PlTNEY WILLING TO DEBATE WITH
CUTLER

Congressman Pitney recently received
from the Bryan and Sewall Club of
Phillipsburg a request to take part in a
debate with E. e. Potter upon the money
question. The following is copy of
Mr.. Pitney's reply;
MoRRIsTowN, N. j., Oct. 10, '96.
Y. G. PILGRIM, ESQ, President Bryan
and Sewall Club, Phillipsburg, N. J.
DEAR SIR have your favor of the 18th
inst, inviting me to debate the money
question with Mr.. Erastus E. Potter, the
we'll known Populist of Port Dram. In
reply beg to say that have not suffi-
Gent spare time at my disposal, during
the remainder of the campaign, to enable
me to take part in debate with Mr..
Potter. Nor is it usual for a candidate
for Office to participate in a public de-
bate, except with the opposing candidate.
If my opponent, Hon. Augustus w. Cut
Ter, is disposed to debate the money ques-
ton with me in public, it will give me
pleasure to do so, in such manner ard
under such arrangements as to secure a
fair hearing for both sides.
Yours very truly,
MAHLoN PITNEY.

"1He FREE COINAGE OF sILvsR.v

Carman F. Randolph of this city, a
prominent and influential member of the
Democratic party in Morris county as
we'll as in the State, has written a valu-
able pamphlet on 1.-THE Free Coinage of
Silver" which is being extensively cir
culated by members of the National or
Sound Money Democratic party. Mr..
Randolph prefaces his valuable paper by
saying
"The following pages are written, not
for past masters of the science of money,
if there are any such, but for citizens
who, like the writer, deem it their duty
to study the questions upon which they
are called to vote"

on economic questions is considered au-

j" Mahlon pltnex,s WORTH

The New York Herald, Democratic
commenting ON Speaker Reeds visit TO
Morristown ON Friday, in the interests
of Congressman Pitney and sound money,
says:
The appearance of Thomas b Reed,
the Speaker of the House of Representa-
tives, before Morristown audience to-
day, bespeaks his interest in the candis
dacy of Mahlon Pitney for reelection to
Congress and his confidence in Mr.. Pit
ney's worth as a working member of the
House.
Mr.. Pitney is Serving his first term,
but already he has achieved a distinction
vouch-safed to few men in so short SER
vice. AT last winters session the APP
preparations Committee, on which he
served, intrusted the conduct of several
bills to his hands, and were convinced at
the end of the discussions that they had
made no mistake. His value on the
floor did not escape the keen eye of the
Speaker, and a warm friendship sprang
up between them.

ABOUT THE REED MEETING
what the Newspapers Say About Speaker
Reeds visit to the Fourth District.
speaker Reed in New Jersey.

The New York Tribune aptly COM
ments on Speaker Reeds speech at Nor
ristown, as follows:
AS Thomas B. Reed had time to make
only one seech in New Jersey, it was
most appropriate that Morristown should
be singled out for the honor When this
country was trembling on the threshold
of life it was on the heights above Nor
ristown that the beacon fire and signal
gun were stationed to warnapatriots and
call them to arms when the enemy ap-
preached. So now. in this great battle
for the Nations honor and prosperity,
the warning cry went out from Norris
town calling upon all true Jerseymen to
protect their State and help revive the in
dustTies that are palsied by the fear of
reckless, selfish and unpatriotic legisla-
ton.
But there is another reason why Mr.
Reed went to a small city like Morri S
town instead of selecting Newark or
some other city, where he could be sure
of an audience of &c, 900. Morristown is
the central point of the Fourth Congress
sional District, and this district is the
only one in New Jersey where the free
silver heresy has made any substantial
Roadway. Ordinarily it used to be reck-
oned as being Democratic by 5000 or
1000, but Mahlon Pitney won the seat
two years ago by plurality of 1,407 In
Congress Mr.. Pitney attracted the favor
able notice of Speaker Reed, and the big
hearted Maine statesman promptly
offered his services when he heard that
his young friend was in danger. MIR.
Reeds speech was such simple, logical
and lucid presentation of the financial
problem as to leave the honest farmers of
Morris, Sussex, Warren and Hunterdon
with no decent excuse for not supporting
Sound Money, Mckinley and Hobart,
and Pitney."

nShonId Elect Pitnev ;,

The Fourth Congressional District
should repudiate Augustus w. Cutler be-
cause he is repudiator, man who does
not believe in paying honest debts in
honest money. 1t should reject him be-
cause he is not the equal of his opponent,
Mahlon Pitney, in any of the qualifica-
tions for representative in Congress.
For selfish reasons and patriotic reasons,
the district should elect Pitney. And we
believe the citizens of the Fourth know
good thing when they see it. To pre-
fer Cutler to Pitney would be a folly
which would make State and country re-
gard the voters of the Fourth as incom-
petent.- Neicark Call (Ind.)
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1896-10-14

The New York Sun, Democratic, in a
recent editorial referring TO Speaker
Reeds interest in the reelection of
Mahlon Pitney, remarks
The point of danger in New Jersey
this year is the Fourth District, where
Augustus w. Cutler is running ON free
silver platform against Mahlon Pitney,
the present Republican Congressman. 1t
happens that the Fourth District in
cludes one or two of the few agricultural
counties in New Jersey where the farm
ers have been touched to any extent by
the fifty-cent-do disease.
Special effort shonld be devoted to the
defeat of Cutler. The National Demo-
Gratis have wisely refrained from making
any nomination in this district Speaker
Reed goes to Morristown to-day to help
Mr.. Pitney, who is one of the most cap
able and promising of the younger Re-
publicans in the present Congress. The
Honest Money Democrats of Morris,
Hunterdon, Sussex, and Warren counties
can help the common cause likewise by
giving their votes directly and fearlesslv
to Mahlon Pitney, not as Republican,
but as man of character and proved
ability, who is as true as gold on the
main question. Cutler is roaring
crank, and his election to the next House
of Representative would be scarcely
less than a national misfortune.

The worth of Representative ritney.

Commenting on the Reed meeting in
Morristown on Friday last, the Newark
Netes says, editorially:
Speaker Reed in his speech at Morris
town presented with his accustomed
force and eloquence the cause of the par
ty that in this campaign stands opposed
to bringing panic and reputation upon
the country by free silver coinage. He
testified, too, very warmly to the worth
of Representative Pitney and to the value
of the latter's service in the House.
