HENRY GEORGR.

Democracy, composed of numerous free
silver and Bryan clubs which were ac-
tive in the campaign of last fall. Mr..
George once polled $4,000 votes as a
labor candidate for mayor of New
York. His strength, if he should &C.
cept, would be drawn principally from
the Democratic vote. The convention
nominated John G. Boyd for comp
troller and Winfield S. Overton for
president of the municipal council. A
belief is current that Mr.. George will
not accept the nomination if Tammany
indorses the Chicago platform.

Madrid, Sept. SO.-The Spanish cabi-

has asked General Azcarraga to con-

crisis is found. Her majesty will sum-

The horrors of the discussion Of the sub
iect of ~Scandalous charge" In connection
with elections in this county seems to have
disappeared, and there is hope now Of
reaching definite understanding of the
line of reasoning on which the County
Board of Registration has issued certificates
of Registration in disputed csses. Mr.,
Pierson said in a letter to the Consultations
last week.
ut may be stated here that In ell these
cases of the col0red farm hand voter, the
evidence was ample that he had hired for
several years in succession on farms in
Woolwich and other townships, and on
his temporary return southwark, made en-
gagements to come North TO work the On.
suing year. The laws aud decisions Of the
courts require inquiry into the intentions
of the voter, where the matter of residence
comes in question, The Board have there
fore held that these men have the right TO
make choice of their voting residence, after
the proper period has elapsed. No certiti-
cate was ever issued TO my knowledge to q
person who had only worked one season
North
Our contention is that no inquiry into
intentions of a voter is admissible until
the citizen has established fixed dom
icile" by residence of one year in the
State and five months in the county.
Further our contention is that a citizen
OF another State who resides in Gloucester
county for eight months, and returns to his
fixed domicile" still has voting resi-
dence in his permanent home' which is
the place of his nativity.
The co'ored farm hand rarely becomes a
permanent resident of our county. His
mission here is temporary work in the
busy truck season, and expects to return to
his fixed domicile on the day after election;
indeed, we are informed that in many cases
the terms OF his contract are that it expires
the day after election. They are nothing
more than birds of passage, whose interest
in New Jersey ends with the setting of the
sun on election day.
Mr.. Pierson may be entirely sincere in
his offer to aid in the prosecution of any
illegal voter who we will point ont from
his published list of names added by the
Board of Elections. knows that
it would be as difficult to locate the
Southern colored voter of last year as it
would be to locate needle dropped into a
last years hay stack. He is just as safe
from pursuit as is the needle 1t is not
his past deeds that anybody is anxious
about, it is his future action, and we as
sure Mr.. pierson that we welcome him to
the cause of purging the township registry
lists of names that do not belong there.

South Harrison Township,
Ladow's Hall, 80.

The Democratic caucuses to morrow
evening should claim the attention OF
every Democrat in the county. A full SET
of Delegates ard Alternates should be
chosen in every township, ward and
borough, to the end that the County Con-
yention on Saturday may be thoroughly
representative, and in its selection of can

A majority of the people are anxiously
looking to this Convention to open the
road to a reform of political methods in
our county, and if this occasion is met in
the proper spirit, the Democracy will not
fight losing battle this fall.

Although no official admission has been
made, it is known that the administration
is much disturbed by its latest advices
from Hawaii The ratification Of the an
nexation treaty by the Hawaiian Senate
has caused much excitement among the
Japanese residents of Hawaii, and the ad-
ministration fears that state of insurrec-
ton may be precipitated at almost any mo-
ment, the result of which may be the oyer
throw of the present government. Infor-
nation in the State Department leaves little
doubt that many japanese soldiers are on
the island, having gone there in guise of
laborers. It is also very clear that these
soldiers are armed and that they have
talked among themselves Of taking possess
ion Of the islands. New and urgent orders
have been sent to the United States Minis
Ter to HAWAII, and to Admiral Miller, in
commanded of the Uuited States vessels
there The feeling Of uneasiness on the
mart of the administration is not about the
final result Of a scrap with Japan, but
about what may happen to Americans and
American interests on the island, should
the Japanese make an attempt to over
throw the Dole government,

The tremendous efforts being made by
the London banking interest and the news
papers which it controls to defeat inter
national bimetallism clearly indicate that
the British Government is disposed to act
favorably upon the proposition of France
and the United States for a monetary con-
terence, with the understanding that if
those countries restore free silver coinage it
will reopen the Indian minis and convert
into silver portion of the Bank of Eng.
lands reserve. The money power will
probably triumph, although two years ago
the House of Commons unanimously
adopted resolution in favor of the policy
which it is now seeking to prevent. The
silver question may yet become an issue in
all civilized countries as an incident of the
struggle between capital and labor.

In the matter Of amending the Constitu

In the matter of amending the Constitu
ton, the Legislature, after juggling for
three years with the subject, proposed
three amendments, all of which were effect
ually disposed of last Tuesday. Had the
Legislature dealt with the people in an
open-handed, honest manner; handled the
questions the people wanted handled as
statesm en-, not as politicians or school
boys, the people would have participated
in the election and divided on other than
partisan or selfish lines. As it was the LIE
gislature aroused public distrust by its
methods, and then defeated the PROPOSE
lions in which the people had real in
terest. 1t was not calculated that the
amendments should meet any other fate
than that of defeat.

each. This is within six months of the
