The Candidacy Of Major Pangborn


The nomination of Major Pangborn for
Congress is an extraordinary proof of the
brutal Indifference of the Republican
party to the feelings and interests of the
people. During the years when the Ma
jor was Editor of the Journal he de-
voted a great part of his energy and the
space of the paper to insulting the re-
ligion Of nearly one-half the inhabitants
of Hudson county. 1t is unnecessary to
st is one of such vicious and cruel bigo-
ty that one shrinks from bringing it out
into the light, as one hesitates to offend
the eye of a clean person with the sight
of a fostering sore.
That the Majors lifelong crusade will
play a leading part in this campaign can
not be doubted. 1t would be asking too
much of human nature to expect the tens
of thousands who have suffered from his
insults will fail to avenge themselves and
their faith on this opportunity. Neither
can it be alleged that it is they who
interject the religious question into the
campaign. They are not responsible. 1t
is the Republican machine which is re-
sponsible, because in nominating Major
Pangborn it has raised a personal issue.
and provoked a personal retaliation which
1t is not in human nature to forego.
Major Pangborn's nomination might be
described in one word as ultra-Burchar-
ian. 1t invites certain defeat not only for
himself, but for the entire Republican
ticket.
EVIDENTLY the friends of Congress-
man Thomas MeEwa are playing the
'possum game. They are laying low"
They were not heard of to any very great
extent in the Convention last evening
Contrary to expectation, their forty dele
gates and ten takers allowed the pro-
ceedings TO go on with funereal peace
fulness.
We all know what this means. One bal
lot on election day is worth a whole raft
of talk In the Convention. The McEwan
men are not all dead yet.

TN e ExrExponE SPEECH.



How painful that moment to club women
known,
When the president sweet as n peach,
Whispers low in your ear. After supper,
my dear.
viii you make an extempore speech ?"
Oh then CONSERVATION mounts high in
your breast.
Yoih pulses are pulsating hot.
You can scarce make reply, there's tear in
your eye,
And you'd rather expire on the spot
Dream not that memorized story or two,
a theme 1otted down on a card n
And line on your cuff will be ample
enough
The way OF The orators hard
You cannot coordinate them if yon try,
Nor disengage t'other from each:
They will simply make Eash, Us you'll find
II you're rash
Enough for an extempore speech.
Then seize on the product that's best of
your brain,
And pm it to paper at once;
Read boldly and well. and none ever can
tell
That you feel like stammering Ounce.
With your preitiest gown and no vestige Of
frown,
Your manuscript close within reach,
Remember this rhyme, OH be warned
d, while there's time,
And beware the extempore speech! a

A very pretty story of kind and
charitable act on the part of the late
Ambassador Bayard has just been
brought to light and here published
for the first time. When Epworth M.
r. Church at Rehoboth was dedicated
last summer Mr.. Bayard was one Of the
liberal contributors to the fund to pay
off the indebtedness. The trustees
were so much pleased upon receiving
the contribution that they held an
official meeting and adopted set of
resolutions which were mailed to Mr..
Bayard while he vas in his last illness
at Dedham, Mass. For some reason the
resolutions never reached Mr.. Bayard,
but were sent to the dead letter office
at Washington. A short time ago they
were returned to Commodore Shock of
Baltimore, who was very much ag-
gravated that they should not have
reached the person they were intended
for. He had since died and could
never know how much his contribution
was appreciated. Accompanied by q
letter explaining the delay and disap-
pointment, the Resolutions were for
warded to Mrs. Bayard and on Thanks
giving day the pastor of the Rehoboth
church, the Rev. j. D. Reese, of Nassau,
was able to read to the trustees an
acknowledgment of the receipt Of the
resolutions and the high appreciation
in which they were held. Mrs. Bayard
also enclosed her individual check for
S25 as u Thanksgiving offering. NJ

San Francisco, CAL, Dec. 1.-The
four-mast Shenandoah has arrived in
port, 131 days from Baltimore. She
was the subject of sensational stories
during the first part of the Spanish
American War. News of her supposed
capture was telegraphed from many
places, but the vessel managed to elude
the Spanish gunboats, and reached
England in safety, in tow Of a British
tug, which took her in charge off the
Irish coast. She afterwards sailed for
Baltimore, and loaded for this city.
Her commander, Capt. Starkey, went
far out Of his course on the trip to this
port, in order to avoid Spanish pri-
vateers and war vessels, and learned to-
day for the firstfime, of the final out
come of the war, and the signing of the
peace protocol.

An Explanation Of the Result of
the Recent Election in Duck
Creek Hundred.
DEMOCRATS DEFEATED BY MONEY
More Corruption Apparent at
the Recent Election Than
Was Ever Before Known
land No Secret as to
Which Party Used
the Money.

Smyrna, Dec MANY explanations
are now being made in various parts
of tho State of the defeat of tho Demo
cratic party in Delaware at the last
election. Dissatisfaction and the lack
of organization may have been the
causes in some localities, but no such
conditions existed in Duck Greek hun
dred. Here the Democrats had u fairly
Money Democrats voted the ticket
solidly. Democrats labored hard to
uphold the provisions of the Constitu-
ton against corrupted suffrage. and
did not use dollar either at the regis
tration or election, to corrupt voters.
This brought to their support the inde-
they were beaten by so, instead of
carrying the hundred by good ma
jority, as they had every reason to eX-
pect.
Tho trouble was with the yenal
voters, and here is where the Union
Republicans got in their work. They
voters this year than was ever used
before. Men who never before sold
their votes were bought this year.
They added perjury TO their crime,
also, for they were challenged and took
the oath that they had not been cor
rupted. As result, no matter how
anxious they may be to inform on those
who corrupted them, they are rendered
useless as witnesses. And the oath. in
most instances, was exacted by Union
Republicans, with this'very purpose in
view. Frank Renan, who was arrested
on four charges of corrupting voters,
said that while he contracted to buy
only IL votes he bought at least 40.
The "floatersn are now having fine
time spending the money they received
for, their votes. They did not get il
from the Democrats, and it is not,
| therefore, hard to conjecture where
| this money came from.

Of "Cycle Paths has Just been issued

men as a separate volume of the

wealth of information on subject
which now seems to engage the at

REFUSED THE AWARD.
SIX Cents rendered william l.. Medhoidt
and Afterward Deposited IN Bank.

LIE
and Afterward Deposited IN Bank.
Street and Sewer Department Thurs
day deposited in the Farmers Bank six
cents to the credit of William l.. Med
holdt that amount hayin. been awarded
to Mr.. Medholdt by two commissions
as his share OF damages which will be
sustained by the opening of Eleventh
street, and by this act the department
has right at any time to take so much
of Mr.. Medholdt's land as will lie in
the bed of the street.
Mr.. Medholdt was rendered the
money, but refused to accept it, hence
tho action of the department in placing
it in bank to his credit. AS stated
above, two commissions awarded the
same amount, six cents, and soon after
the awards were accepted by the Street
and Sewer Department, check for the
amount was sent to Mr.. Medholdt. He
did not acknowledge it's receipt, evil
IDENTIFY paying little attention to it, and
ON Thursday Clerk Groves saw him
and rendered him six cents in money,
a nickel and cent, but Mr.. Medholdt
would not accept it. The matter was
reported TO Secretary Wiley, who sent
the money to the bank. Mr.. Medholdt,
it is understood, has no appeal, and
the action OF tho department makes
the matter final.
The idea of the Street and Sewer De-
partment is to open Eleventh street
from Madison to Adams and Monroe
north to Eleventh, and in anticipation
| of this being done some houses are now
being erected at the intersection.
No definite steps have yet been taken
looking toward opening Monroe street
through to Delaware avenue, but it is
presumed that if such thing is ever
done, the upper portion of the street
will be DETECTED so as to run at right
angles with Delaware avenue, or MS
nearly so as possible. As tho proposed
new high school is to be built at that
point, it is not known at present Just
what course the upper end of the street
would take not to strike the building.
The opening of the street may be asked
for while thu building is being erected
or after it is finished.

STEEL RAILS.
Tho Large sales just Hooked by the Manu-
fHcturers.


Cleveland, o., Dec. 1.-The Iron
Trade Review says:
Excepting the memorable break in
the rail pool in February of last year,
no such tonnages of steel rail sales has
been closed in single week as, thai
just booked by the manufacturers. 1t
includes $4,000 tons to the Illinois
Central, 1900 tons to the Chicago IL
Northwestern, $1,000 tons to the st.
Paul, $4,000 tons to the Burlington and
large orders to eastern and central sys-
TENS. What has been booked, and
what has been practically closed,
amounts to more than 900, 900 tons, OF
which the bulk has been taken by
Chicago and Pittsburg.
1.-The failure of the rail manufacturers
to agree upon the selling company
scheme was followed by conference
OF the Carnegie Steel CO., the Illinois
Steel Co. and the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Co., AS noted last week. An
arrangement resulted which promises
to have better holding powers than the
gentlemen's agreement IN force pre-
vious to September. The prices fixed
are ST. pittsburg, SIS Chicago and $40
Pueblo. "
