Interstate Fair at Trenton, Septem-
bert26, ~, as, 40, and 80.

The great Interstate Fair, located on
the New York Division of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad three miles east ofTren-
ton, grows more extensive and inter
esting each year, and the exhibition to
be held on September 26, 81, %, 20, and
30 promises to be unusually compre-
hensive and attractive. Every depart
ment will be replete with superior and
instructive displays. The blooded stock
exhibit will be particularly fine, and
the daily programme of races contains
the speediest classes obtainable. Circus
acts of rare merit and daring, and vau-
deville entertainments of all kinds will
be presented.
The large purses offered in the mani
fold exhibits and contests insure unu-
sual efforts in the endeavor to prove
superiority in the various departments.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Compa-
ny, as is its yearly custom, will sell eX-
cursion tickets on this occasion at
greatly reduced rates from stations
within a wide radius, and special trains
over the New York, Belvidere and AM

transfer. The management of the Fair
has put forth extraordinary efforts to
make this years exhibition the great

Independent RepubIicanism.

There is something incomprehensible
about politics that makes the better
class shrink from having any part In
the affairs which should be governed
by the best thinking people the coun-
try car boast of. AT the Democratic
convention which was held in Vine
land Samuel Iredell, of Bridgeton, was
nominated as a candidate for Congress
from the First Congressional district.
When Mr.. Iredell was nominated, he
protested, and did not wish to accept
the nomination because he had nc
money with which to get elected. Now
there is a point. Why does q man
need to have a bag of gold at his COM
mand in order to get elected to a posi-
ton in the service of the people? Is
not the Congressional representative
elected by the vote of the people? Then
why does a candidate have to put up a
sum of money in order to get elected?
Can it be possible that Il public office
has gotten to be the stock in trade OF
manipulators, who put it up and say
"There it is, gentlemen, the man who
pays the most money for it gets it,
If such is the case there is probably
little doubt but that Mr.. Loudenslager
will be elected as the Congressional
representative from the First district,
for Mr.. Iredell frankly admitted that
he had no money with which to buy
his election, and judging from appear
ances, if the Republican candidate AN
not buy his election it will be pur-
chased for him by those who are most
interested i'll his reelection. But if the
people can have their say-and the
only way they can have their say is by
using the right which is given them as
free citizens of the State and Nation,
and that is to assert their independence
and vote for the man best qualified for
the position-the man who will best
represent the interests of the people re-
CARELESS of political dictation.
Now it is not our purpose to advocate
Democracy-though some of our would
be contemporaries have tried to make
it appear so-which is a wilful error,
our purpose being to correct the mis-
deeds of our own family, the Repub-
lican family, of which we are mem
bers, or show up their misdeeds in the
proper light before the people so that
they cal do the correcting by voting in
the IN which seems dearest right
after having the facts fully explained.
1t was for this purpose that we eX-
pressed our independent attitude in
the matter of politics, and having ta-
ken that stand we cannot cohscien-
tiously give u support to Mr.\Lou-
denslager, and in an issue OF this PAPER
which will appear in the near flfture
we shall fully and Complementary
explain the reason why we cannot SUP
port him for Congress and the reason
why we think that no honest man can,
do so. The majority of the people are
not at all favorable to Mr.. Loudensla-
gers reelection and are freely express
sing their reason why.-Millville Dolly
