Prof. Aidrich Receives His Commission

A short time ago it was stated ii
these columns that Prof VIM. S. AL

Commander Chadwick aud the Nash
Vile.


An item to the effect that Com
mander Chadwick was captain Ct
the Nashville and that he ordered
the first shot of the war to be fired
has been going the rounds of the
state press. Thisis certainty mis-
take. Commander Chadwick is on
the New York the finest vessel of
SIMPSONS squadron and the flag
ship and has been on it for long
time. He was not on the Nashville
at all and there was no reason for
his being on it. The first shot of the
war was fired from the Nashville at
a merchantmen but the credit for
the first real lighting belongs to
Commander Chadwick and his gallant
New York.

Then it went to the Senate where it was
amended, and was passed by vote of ID
to 3. Roll call showed II members pres
ent, of whom were Democrats. One of
the latter, with two Republicans, voted
against the bill, with one member not vot-
ing, so that, with one exception, all the
Democrats voted for the bill Its next
move was back to the Assembly, where
the Senate amendments were agreed to,
and then it went to Democratic Governor
Albeit, who signed it within three days
after its passage. Since then, until the
present time, have the Democrats agitated
the subject? Not at all. In 1887, 1899,
and 1890 Democrats controlled the House.
In 1891, 1899 and 1898 they had both
branches. That they did not interfere in
the matter in either of those years is a
fact, but in 1898 Senator Packer, as bit
of buncombe, offered bill on the subject
in the last week of the session, when
he knew it could not be considered.
To gain votes the Democratic candidates
for Assembly are proclaiming loudly their
desire to aid the workingmen. So did
Senator Packer, but how did he keep his
promise? The Republican candidates for
Assembly have signifed their intentions
not verbally, but over their own sigma
lures. They can be trusted. There is no
need at this hour to go to Democrats for
assistance.

SOME of the worst political rot ever
issued is that put on the market by the
Burlington Gazette. In late issue ii
tells of 20 or 80 soldiers who ran away
from camp 30 have gay time. When
they returned they were put under arrest
and punished. And the Gazette exulting-
ly proclaims that these fellows are going
to vote for Crane. That's the size of il
with some. It's personal affair Here
are lot of men, who enlisted in army life
knowing it to be one of discipline anc
strict orders. They ran away-in plair
English were deserters when pun
ished for deliberate, law breaking act
as they knew they would be, they pro
pose to wreak vengeance on Gov. Voorhees,
who probably knows as much of the af
fair as the Governor of Tennessee does
And it is just such class of fellows tina
the Democrats pat upon the back anC
then laugh to think how easily the voter
are duped

WHY CANNOT Democrats conduct a cam
paign without resorting to misrepresenta
| ton and falsehood In its endeavors t.
belittle and ridicule our Assemblymen the
Herdtd makes statements that are withou
foundation. The Herald says:
Then there was Senate bill No. 81:
which enables first-class cities to cree
school buildings and additions when ad
ditional school accommodations are
deemed necessary by the Board of Educa
ton. This was an important measure
but Wright and Horner were either alb
sent or did not vote. %
Let our neighbor look on page 56S OF
the minutes of the Assembly and he will
see that Messrs. Wright and Horner were
not 'either absent or did not vote. ;
They were present and voted faye" The
bill was lost, and on this measure which
the Herald says was an important mea,
sure" there were 30 votes in the negative
-21 of which were Democratic Then
the Herald quotes Assembly 166 and says
Another important measure was bill
No. 1866 which was an act to prohibit
mining and manufacturing companies
from engaging in the business of carrying
on stores, known as company stores or
general supply stores, or stores where
goods and merchandise, other than such
as have been mined or manufactured by
mining or manufacturing companies are
kept or offered for sale. Horner voted in
favor of it. Wright against it. Horner
didn't bother himself to inquire into the
merits of measure. All he wanted to
know was how Wright was going to vote,
and he was pretty sure to vote the other
way"
Here is another bold misstatement.
Look at page 468 of the minutes and you
will see that both Horner and Wright
voted for the bill. And so you can go on
and find discrepancies in all the state
ments of Democrats in this campaign.

Again the people are called to decide
whether the control of the State shall be
continued under Republican rule, or be
passed into the hands of the Same old
gang" that were driven from power four
years ago, in view of which they are now
doing some deep thinking while retro
speeding the past, and comparing the for
mer condition of things with the record of
the past three years. Since the overthrow
of that party there have been no coal com
bines to rob the people, no race track
gambling to disgrace the state, no state
house thievery of furniture nor fraudulent
coal bills, no stealing of Legislature nor
rump senates stopping legislation. With
the memory of these facts before them
are the people willing to forgive and re-
store to power a party they were COM
PEELED to repudiate four years ago Has
that party been so purged of all iniquity
as to be better than the one now in au-
thority? If it has so repented and reform
ed, when and where has it brought forth
fruit mete for repentance They talk of
bringing about reform Have they re-
formed Who will be responsible for their
better behavior? The people are impressed
that it is that same old gang" again
striving for restoration, and are getting on

kick of condemnation in November. The
political horoscope is most assuring that
Foster M. Voorhees, will sweep the state
for Governor by large majority. Six of
the eight candidates for Congress are
quite sure of election and of the eight
senators to be elected, seven will be Re
publican. This will make the Senate the
same as last year, Republicans IA, Demo
Gratis T.
AS Senator Smith seems interested only
in making his own calling and election
sure, he will need "a members of the As
sembly to secure a joint ballot AS the
Democrats last year, when the Republi-
cans were doing, were only able to elect
% members, how much better are they
likely to do when the Republican party is
wide awake and alive to duty This year
the Republicans are united and harmon
ious, and having made a good selection of
candidates generally, and feeling that the
interests of both State and Nation are in
volved and inspired with an abiding faith
in the triumph of the right, are marching
on to victory.

JUST think of it.-Zulick, the blatant
Ex-Governor, unknown until introduced
here and probably already forgotten by
half the audience, calling Attorney Gen
eral Griggs a little crossroads lawyer, y
while Zulick himself displays an ignor-
ance that any cross roads schoolboy would
be ashamed of. In his talk here on Sat
urday he frequently referred to Trenton
as that little place across the river -
The speaker evidently had the idea that
he was in Pennsylvania. Then he gave
another display of what he did not know
when, in his eulogy of the late Governor
Parker, he declared that the latter re-
sponded to the call for troops and
sent the first New Jersey soldiers into the
field, among them Theodore Runyon
Joel Parker was not elected until 1862
The first call for troops was on April 10,
1861, the first company was mustered into
service in this state eight days later, and
on the 9th Gen. Runyon received his
commission from Gov. Olden, Republi-
can. And, further, he left the service in
August, 1861, and in 1862 was appointed
Major General by brevet, by Gov. Olden
So it will be seen that Gov. Parker had
nothing whatever to do with this matter.
Then this heretofore unknown ignoramus
from Arizona, IN attempting TO appeal to
the classes, denounced Justice Gummere for
expounding the law as it is, claiming that
Gummere as a Republican, was RESPONSE
BILE for the entire affair. If this man Zu-
lick will look at the Atlantic Reporter he
will find full report of the case he quoted
and will discover that the decision read by
Judge Gummere, came from the Demo
cratic Supreme Court, and was rendered
by three Justices unanimously, two of the
three being Judges Lippincott and Lud-
low, Democrats. We might go on and fill
the entire paper with instances of what
this fellow does not know, but his audience
discovered it all

NOBODY will deny the fact that neither
Blanchard H. White nor William E. Hires
can be elected to the Assembly unless they
receive large number of Republican
votes. Let every Republican ask himself

action. Or, rather, let him carefully con-
