some MORE REPUBLICAN Voters WHO
VIGOROUSLY EXPRESS THEIR SENTIMENTS.
THEY SUSTAIN THE COURSE OF THE PLEAsANTvILLE
Press AND FoRcIBLY SCORE THE RING's
UNPOPULAR CANDIDATE AND METHODS.

Then, again, it is best for the indepen-
dent fair play loving Republicans to
unite on some one candidate to "cut" in
order to give this obnixious ring of
chronic office holders a lesson and like
your correspondent 1.-TWO Votes | in
tend to place the name ofSomers Dough
ty over the name of Ashley and thus
count two against the latter. The
writer happened to be present at the
late Republican Mass meeting at Egg
Harbor City and Atlantic City and in
both cases felt ASSUMED to have Republi-
cans from other parts of the State see
what kind of adead man the Atlantic
County Republicans bad placed on the
ticket. In Egg Harbor City Mr.. Ashley
stood up on the platform to say that he
had "notking to say" Ofcourse we all
knew that before be commenced, but
thought he might offer some kind of an
apology for being present. Then again
in the evening, in Atlantic City, he ad-
dressed an intelligent audience of ladies
and gentlemen many Of whom were
visitors to the shore and were not poll
tical sheelerso or FOUNDERS" but he
gave them (the audience) the ''heeler's"
advice to get out the sick and the lame,
hire carriages and spend your cash on
Election Day. Such advice would have
been entirely out of place even to gang
of Fourth Warders;;" coming as it did
from man who was never interested
enough to vote the Republican ticket ex-
cspt when he was a candidate on the
ticket. Many times has L. I'll. Ashley re-
fused 10 travel from Mays Landing to
Port Republic (where he claims his
home is) to cast his vote for the Repub-
lican ticket. One man at the Academy
meeting expressed himself in regards to
Ashley's address that it was the most
humiliating scene he has ever with essed
on platform where Republican princi-
pies were advocated. As the evils of
such nominations cannot be corrected at
the party's convention, where all the
delegates are under the whip of the
office-distributing boss, the plain people,
those that love their party principles
andlove fair play, must take their remedy
to the polls and vote straight against
such nominees. There is at least one
satisfaction for the honest voter to know
that the vote of the political boss and
that of the individual voter will both
count alike on the 9Th of November.

GO AHEAD,

We have heard a rumOr that the
Ashley ''Organs" have received orders
to 'pitch into" The Rleasant0ille Press
at any time after our. present issue
goes to press, as it is presumed that
this will be our last number before
election We hope they will do 50, for
they have all been as dumb as an
oyster in reference to our facts and
charges. Not one Of them have been
answered or refuted. A few light
weight squibs and some personal de-
nunciations is the only defence the
organs" have made against our
array of facts and figures.
1t would be really refreshing to have
them "pitch into" us in vigorous
style. and if they say anything worth
answering we have splendid facilities
for getting out an extra edition on
Monday. Go ahead boys! The Press
can go you one better every time.

Another From Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC CITY, Oct. 26, 1898.
Pleasantville Press, Gentlemen g
AS an ardent Republican who has
slways voted his ticket as given him
by the Republican committeeman at the
polls desire to add my opinion to
the many you have expressed through
latters published in your paper go | de-
sire to openly express myself as against
the political methods used by the lead
ers of our party and will further express
myself on election day by voting against
the chronic office-holders candidate for
Assembly l.. Fl. Ashley. | select him in
particular to s'cut" because he seems to
be the ore candidate the most offensive
to the Republican Independent voters,
and, in addition to this fact, | think he
has had more than he ever earned from
his party. remember when was
young man that L. III. Ashley was Post
master at Port Republic. 1t is said
that he has been in office ever since
and has never dore a days v ork out
side of a political office so that q repub-
lie an can honestly cut Mr.. Ashley
better thanany other candidate on the
ticket. In addition to these facts the
Office Of Assemblyman is an uninportant
one and most certainly would be if re-
presented by the Republican candidate.

Political Bribery.-StOp 1t !!

Atlantic County has long had an un-
enviable reputation for political bribery,
and it is not confined to one political
party. 1t perhaps, reached, it's height
during the campaign when BILLY"
Riddle was the Democratic candidate for
Senator. but the evil is not yet extinct.
The Press believes that any man who
will sell his vote, ought to be deprived of
his privilege Of voting; and it hopes to
see the stringent laws enacted against
bribery at elections in this State i'm
partially enforced. The open purchase
OF men, like cattle, is standing disgrace.
Stop it!
The ballot-box is the only place, ont
side the grave, where q poor man is on
an equality with rich man, and that
equality is destroyed whenever he sells
his vote. No matter what price is paid
be is the loser in the end.
IF there are any readers of The Press
who conclude to sell their vote. we com
mend to their consideration the advice ol
Hor8ce Greeley Don't sell your vote
but If you do, have the decency to chargs

THE rabid supporters Of Mr.. Ashley
abuse The Press continuously,
and persist in the lie that our oppo-
sition to him is based wholly upon
personal reasons. They evidently be-
lieve, or at least hope, that a lie well
stuck to, is as good as the truth. To
show how utterly false is their state
ments, we may remark, that the senior
political editor of The Press met Mr..
Ashley upon the train a few days ago
and did not know him personally, and
was subsequently introduced to him.
We base our opposition to Mr..
Ashley upon the fact that he is in
competent, unpopular, and doomed
to defeat on account Of these weak
nesses, and also that his re-nOmip-
alton was forced upon the party in
defiance OF it's best judgment.
Such nomination is not binding
and nothing but party disaster can
be expected.
