Quite a large delegation of the citizens
of Pleasantville, of both political par
ties, ATTENDED the republican county
convention at Egg Harbor City on Sat
urday. Nearly all of them were friends

with a vengeance by those who had for
years profited by his political activity,
and they came home in no very amiable
mood. 1t is q foregone conclusion that
the republican County ticket will be
mercilessly slaughtered in Pleasantville.
