Two weeks ago the Constitution asserted
that this Legislature was so correct in its
doings that even an expert could not detect
its partisan make up. But, 10, now all is
changed, and its true political character is
disclosed, and all because the little city of
Burlington had the impudence TO elect
Democrat Alderman-at Large, who would
be the presiding officer of City Council.
This was too great an honor for a Democrat
to enjoy, and Immediately the Republican
statemen of Burlington prepared bill
abolishing the Office of Alderman-at-La Large,
which was promptlyrailroaded through this
nOn-partisan Legislature, and while acting
Excellency VOORHEES, could not sign it be-
cause it was unconstitutional, yet he
allowed it to be fled in the Office of the
Secretary of State and become law.
The Republican press of the State now
have reason to be proud of the Legislature,
for it has declared ITSELF and gone on record
as true to the Republican principle that
the people are not fit to rule themselves. !"
On the result of the election of Chosen
Freebooter in Upper Pittsgroye township,
Salem county, hangs the political complex
ion of the Board in Salem county, and
twelve queer tickets are responsible for
any question as to the result These tickets
were thrown out BIZ the election board, as
being marked ballots, and the result
announced before its Importance bearing on
the county was known. Thos. Y Hachett,
Democrat. was accorded 21S votes and
Joseph N Mayhem, Republican, 212 votes
The queer ballots were Democratic
tickets, printed with the Freebooter blank,
and it has been ascertained were printed on
Mr.. Mayhew's own order, and his name
was written in every one of them ny him
self Four styles of Mr. Mayhew's ticket
writing follows:
j. N Mayhem.
Jos. N. Mayhem.
Josie Mayhew
J. N. May Hew.
The Board of Election threw these out
as coming under Section 2.9, page 1O2, of
the election law which provides:
IF any ballot voted at any town meet
ing shall have thereon. either on it's face or
back, any mark sign, designation, or device
whereby such ballot can or may be there
after identified or distinguished, such bal
lots shall be absolutely void and not can
vassed or counted for any name there IN"
The honest voters down in Pittsgrove
should stand by that election board and
insist that its action be sustained.
