ocratic paper We shall do every
thing in our power to help elect
Jim Dllard, because he is the noml'
nee of the Democratic party, and
because he is as honest and capable
as Mr. Roberts, or any other man
running for Sheriff.
Mr.J. B. Frost, the Popullst NOM
inee for Sheriff, was in town yester'
day. and we herrd him say he was
going to continue in the race until
after the 7th of September, al
though it had been reported that
he was going to withdraw in Mr.
Jack Roberts favor. So, it seems
that the calculations of somebody
Cprobably the Republican bosses)
have been knocked into a cooked
hat" as it we're. Jas. I. Dillard
will be reelected as Sheriff of Mil
Ter county, because he is a good
man. the nominee of the Democ-
racy, and the people think he de-
serves a second term.
There was a gentleman on the
West side last night giving scien-
tifc exhibition with a large tele-
scope which would show the heav-
enly bodies in great plainuess. The
city editor paid his dime and had
the moon brought down within
speaking distance, but the man
who is running the machine inform
ed us that the moon was a dead
body and not inhabited. We asked
him to throw his magni6er on some
body not dead, but he said his in
strument was not large enough for
star gazing. He was doing a
"Schrader business" when we left
and there will be dozens of US in
the city to-day who can converse
about the moon.

1t is rumored that Ben Foreman,

do not believe that the people of

Republican domination, Let every
good man in the county stand firm

will be routed, horse, foot and

The Mays Landing Record is getting
badly ratified at the prospect OF hav-
ing the County Seat moved to Pleasant
Vile In recent issue it said.
besides the expenses incurred IN an
election, it would cost in the neighbor-
hood of $25O,O0O to establish Pleasant
vile as the County Seat
The Record must have a poor opinion
of the intelligence of it's readers to at
tempt to stuff them with such a
''whopper, as that. The best answer
TO such nonsense is to look at the new
insane Asylum that cost a trife over
twenty-one thousand dollars to build.
One-fifth Of the sum named by the Re-
cord, would leave big margin of pro-
fit for any man who would contract to
duplicate, in Pleasantville, all the
County buildings now standing III
Mays Landing. Two hundred and
fifty thousand dollars indeed? Tell
that to the Marines, Brother Shaner.
