ALREADY BEATEN.

Judging from private information
from every section of the County it is
foregone conclusion that Leonard
I'll. Ashley cannot be elected to the
Assembly. That is the situation that
the Republicans of Atlantic County
have got to look squarely in the face
Why imperil the chances OF the
other candidates by a pig-headed
adherence to one who is already
beaten? Such a course is simply
suicidal. Mr.. Ashley ought to know
by this time that he cannot win. If
he has any sense, or any regard for
his party, or his associates on the
ticket, he should resign and make
victory not only possible, but easy,
with some other candidate. If he will
not resign, then the men who ordered
him put upon the ticket, should order
him taken off. Nine out of ten Repub-
lican voters in every precinct in
Atlantic County would welcome the
change. Failing to do either means
a Democratic Assemblyman. Which
shall it be?

Gov. Voorhees, Visit.

Gov. VOORHEES, made q brief run
through Atlantic County Monday,
speaking at Hammonton, Egg Harbor
City in the afternoon and at Atlantic
City in the evening. He is an easy.
pleasing speaker who has an excellent
voice, and evidently made very favor
able impression upon the audience. He
is q young man of whom the state has
reason to be proud and he will probab-
" be re elected by satisfactory major
ity. Joseph Coult, the Newark lawyer,
and Congressman Fowler also made
excellent speeches after Gov, VOORHEES,
finished. Our Senatorial candidate,
Lewis Evans, was introduced and warm
ly received, but excused himself from
making a speech after so much had been
said, andso well said. Mr.. Ashley, the
candidate for the Assembly was also
introduced, but his reception, compared
to that accorded to the other speakers,
was what in theatrical parlance is term
ed ga FROST" The Academy of Music
was filed on the lower floor and few
seats were occupied in the galleries.
There were fully one thousand persons
present, and the meeting was a very
satisfactory one. The clear cut, digni-
fed, and candid address of Gov, Voor-
hees has undoubtedly strengthened him
in Atlantic City.

Peace Jubilee at Philadelphia.
Special Excursion Rates Via
Phila. s. Reading Railway.

The Peace Jubilee at Philadelphia will
undoubtedly be the greatest demonstra-
ton ever held in the United States. The
grand Military and Naval review, Civic
and Industrial Parade. re-dedication OF
Independence Hall restored TO it's colonial
appearance, and the unveiling of Gen'l
Grants Monument will all be well worth
seeing, remembered and talked OF in
future years. The appropriation OF Fifty
Thousand Dollars by the Philadelphia
City Councils and the guarantee of as
much more by the Citizens Committee,
over half of which has been already sub
scribed, makes it certain that no expense
will be spared to make it the Celebration
of the Century. The Philadelphia &
Reading Railway has made arrange
ments whereby Excursion Tickets to
Philadelphia from all principal points on
it's line, also on the Atlantic City Rail-
road, and all leased or allied lines will be
sold at the low rate of Single fare for the
round trip, but no ticket sold at less
rate than fifty cents. Military organ
izations in uniform at special rates. All
tickets will be good going Oct. Oath to
9th inclusive, and good to return until
October 31st inclusive.

of trains, ETC., consult any Philadelphia

The Latest Example of Falling
Rates,

The universal tendency in the direction
Of lower rates shows itself in two an
nual reports which have come to hand
this week. The first report is that of
the Chicago & Alton, one OF the most
eonservatively managed properties in
the county. The receipts per passen-
ger per mile fell from 2 025 in 1896 to
/. 91S in 1897, decrease of .1O4 cent,
and the receipts per ton per mile from
.817 cent in 1896 to .763 in 1887, de-
crease of .054 cent. The reduction of
lightly over one-teenth of a cent a mile
on the passengers carried by the COM
pany last year was equal to q net loss of
above 500, 900. The reduction in freight
rate of about half mill was equivalent
to a net loss on the tonnage moved of
$22S,510.
The second report is that o. the presi-
dent of the Northern Central railroad,
part of the Pennsylvania system, and
also an admirably and carefully managed
property. The receipts per passenger
Der mile on this road fell from 2 140
cents in 1896 to 2 liz cents in 1897, q
decrease of .029 cent, and the per ton
per mile from .535 cent in 1896 to .525
cent in 1897, decrease of .013 cent.
The decrease of .028 (twenty- one
thousandthe) of q cent in passenger
rates meant loss on che passengers
carried of $14,65i. and the loss OF
thirteen ore-thousands of cent on
thefrelght tonnage presented loss of
$115,091.
1t is difficult to believe that the indivi-
dual traveller or shipper gains much by q
shrinkage of a tenth of q cent in passen-
ger rates or q few thousaadths Of cent
on q ton of freight.

To Our Correspon dents.

We crave the indulgence of our politi-
cal correspondents who have showered
their favors upon this week to such an
extent that it is absolutely impossible
to print all their communications. We
print several as received, some are COLI
densed, and others are omitted for want
of space. The whole OF them, as receiy-
ed by the editor, would make more than
an ntire page of The Press. They are
all of one tenor, and every single one OF
them are written by active and talented
republicans of Atlantic County, outside
of PleasantviIle. The inference is irres-
istable that overbeariDg, and offensive
ring rule is destined to receive stag
gering blow at the coming election, and
we have the satisfaction of knowing
that our course is approved by many OF
the cleanest, ablest and best republicans
in the County.

Dear Mr.. Editor;
l have been reading your editorials on
the political situation in Atlantic County
with great deal Of interest. Your ar
guments are uncontradictab bic and your
course is commendable even to the strict
est party supporters. Our party is now,
and has been for several years, in the
hands or under the control of what
might be termed Revenue Republicans"

Whole Number, 452.

THE Republican "organs" in this
County have evidently had their
"orders" to discredit the statements
made by The Pleasant0ile Press and,
if possible, silence it, because it has
taken up the cause OF the taxpayers
and is exposing the tactics Of the ring
which is responsible for the increase
of taxes in the County.
Do the farmers and business men,
generally, understand that the same
ring that turned a deaf ear to the
numerous delegates at the Egg Har-
Dor Convention, who protested
against the denomination of Assem-
blyman Leonard HI. Ashley and bade
them put him on the ticket at any
cost, is the same ring whose manage
ment increases the taxes thousand
dollars this year, and cuts down the
County valuation eighty-three thous-
and in depreciation OF farm lands
With farm lands steadily decreasing
in value and taxes regularly growing
more burdensome, how long will it
be before the small farmers cannot
afford to own their little farms
Meanwhile the office-holders are
growing rich upon fat salaries and
fees, while the farmers. the baymen
and the small store keepers are hav-
ing about all they can do to make a
living. Cannot these men see, or are
they SO blind, they will not see, that
ring rule is an expensive luxury to
the laboring classes who pay the
taxes Do they not see that the
"organs'' and the big bosses issue
their orders to the little Township
bosses who dare not disobey for fear
of losing their own little 'jobs"
already in hand or promised /?
What is the remedy? It's "dead
easy" Smash the ring at the ballot
box! Defeat it's candidates, and
teach the ringsters a lesson they will
never forget
