The benefcent results of the tariff
policy of the administration is matter
for universal congratulations
We commend to the voters of New
Jersey the Republican candidate for
Governor, Hon. Foster M. Voorhees,,
who has shown his eminent fitness for
the Office to which the people of New

November s, next, by his every official
act since assuming the duties Of acting
Governor.
We desire to publicly recognize the
magnificent services rendered by our
representative in Congress, Hon. Mahlon
Pitney, whose. untiring industry and de-
votion to duty made him honored
throughout the nation.
We desire to especially commend to
the voters of the Fourth Congressional
District, Hon. John 1. Blair Kelley, who
will prove worthy successor to Hon.
Mahlon Pitney, and by whom the inter-
ests of the people of the Fourth Congress
sional District and of the country at
large will be faithfully conserved.
We point with pride to the administra-
ton of the affairs of the State during the
past three years under Republican rule
and desire especially to note the fact of
the absence of such scandals as prevailed
under former Democratic administra-
lions.
We pledge our most earnest support to
Hon. Foster M. Voorhees,, Hon John I.
Blair Kelley and to the nominees of this
convention.

Voorhees,. The nomination was unani-

unanimous vote of the convention for
Daniel S. Voorhees,, which was done
amid hearty cheering.
The call for Senatorial nominations
brought Charles A. Norris of Boonton
to his feet when he said

winning candidate in the Senatorial

chairman that in his long experience

sented themselves for Senatorial can
didate. 1t was necessary that we should
count well the choice we were to moke
and nominate only a good, strong candl-
date. | know of no one who measures
up to fuller extent of the requirements
that are called for than the Hon. Mahlon
Pitney, whoalead us to victory in 1894,
and again in 1895, and that in what was
called hopelessly Democratic district.
/ therefore have the honor to present to
this convention as the nominee for Sena-
tor the name of Mahlon Pitney."
It seemed as if all the townships
seconded the nomination so pleasantly
made by the delegate from Boonton.

Hon. John F. Post. At the conclusion
