With that unselfshness and generosity 90
characteristic of them. the Democratic pre'hren
are devoting much Of their spare thc I" 'ne
task Of helping Republicans in the selection oi
a United States Senator. Sad though II looks
in print. nevertheless fact 1t Is that those
patriots are not even thanked for their volun-
tary aid and advice. Insult Is added To injury
by a chorus on the part Of Republicans sug-
gesting that the other fellows mind their own
business and limiting that they are prompted
by Interior motives. Most New-Jersey Repub-
licans are agreed that John Kean shall succeed
James Smith in the United States Senate. For
some reason or other the Democrats don't hkc
