TOWNSHIP POLITICS.

SHILOH, Sept. u.-More silver senti-
ment is extant in the township of Hope
well than in other locality in Cumber-
land. The silver sentiment right around
here is imbedded pretty deeply, and the
leaders of the white metal movement,
are busily engaged in spreading the free
coinage gospel.
Hopewell has always been peculiar in
it's action. Whenever there is a new
movement on tap, there are whole lot
of people about the township, and par
ticularly about Shiloh, who jump into
the movement, and whoop'er up for all
they are worth. The greenback craze of
years ago found a whole lot of converts
hereabouts, and the Greenback party
carried the township. Now free coinage
is catching about the same class of people,
and every night we find a lively political
discussion on hand.
Hopewell is a close township, politi-
cally. Its natural leanings have been
Democratic, and for years both in fall
and spring, it usually gave Democratic
majoritieS.
Within year or two, however, the
younger element has been taking an in.
terest in affairs politically, and these
youngsters have identified themselves
with the Republican party. Last fall the
Republican majority was more pro-
nounced than ever before, McGill receiv-
ing 15S votes, while Governor Griggs had
2O9. Senator Stokes had 40 majority;
and while Edgar Sheppard, of Stoe
Creek, made a big fight here for the AS
sembly, Minch beat him out by Is votes.
Hopewell stands strong for Cheesman
for Sheriff. That gentleman is we'll
known all through here, and he will find
the biggest bunch of ballots in the box
for him. There is not Republican in
the county who will be stronger here
than the candidate from Millville.
What is needed in this township is
Republican speakers, who have reputa-
tion, and who can speak intelligently up
on the financial question. The people
want to listen and make up an intelligent
verdict, and with good lively mass meet
ings the township will be for the whole
Republican ticket.
Honest money.

NEWPORT, Sept. l0-There are quite
some politics in this section of Cumber-
land, and it is likely that there will be
considerable more enthusiasm in these
parts before the campaign is closed.
For a good many years old Downe
township has see-sawed between the two
old parties, but there is every evidence
that the Democratic sentiment is en-
tirely erradicated now. Last fall Cover
nor Griggs had 81 majority over McGill,
and it is likely that this township can be
depended upon to give plurality of
fifty at any time for the Republican
ticket.
Your correspondent, especially COM
missioned to investigate the silver craze,
has been particularly active down here to
learn where the free silver sentiment
exists. In Downe township it is reduced
to the old line Democracy that cannot.
vote for any but Democratic candidate.
Even they have nothing to say for free
silver, and the question is little DISCUSS,
ed. Downe township is interested in it's
and the people do business with the large
markets, and consequently the people
here are for honest money.
The people here are pretty thoroughly
impressed with the tariff issue too, and
believe in thorough protection, and Nc
Kinley is popular idol.
Of course Cheesman is popular candi-
date here for Sheriff. This township gave
him its five delegates in the Convention,
and the result of the Convention was very
satisfactory. Cheesman is personally
and populerly known here, and he will
probably lead the ticket when the vote is
counted.
Then again, Downe township is inter-
ested in the coming Assembly Conven-
ton. Capt. VIM. Fl. Townsend, the oys-
ter shipper and Freeholder, has an
nounced his candidacy for the Republic
can nomination for Assembly, and he has
already began an active canvass. He con-
fidently expects to have the support of his
own township.

Strong Ones In the late Election.
AN Unusual Thanksgiving" was the theme
Of the Rev. Z. C. Bollcs's sermon yesterday Mt
the Church OF the Eternal Hope, in West
Eighty first street. The clergyman SAID in part:
THE great political struggle which is just
over has impressed some great facts upon the
pnbltc mind. The contest has taught us that,
after all. the moral principles OF the American
people are strong. While we may listen for
n while to the appeals OF the demacogue. and
follow without question the leadership or self
appointed bosses, there is yet that in us that
answers nobly to any special moral appeal.
We may be thankful that we are to have a
breathing space for four years In which 10 re-
new our traditions aud recall the manliness
and common sense OF our American ancestors.
We may DO thankful that for four years poli-
tics may give way to Workmanship; PARTISAN
ship may be forgotten. and all may Work Tor
the common. and not the party. good.
The election has demonstrated certain en-
couraginR facts for which we may well DO
thnnkful. 1t has proved that our great cities
are more strongholds of principle than dens OF
corruption. 1t has proved that the foreign ele-
ment In our population is not poisonous to ma
tional life. The election has taught us TINT
ideas shall rule. not spoils; not race or sectional
feeling; not political trickery."
