Hunterdon Is All Right.

The Republican press of the State is try
ing to work up a scare among the Demo-
crafts Of Hunterdon by declaring that
there is a deadly contest going on be-
tween the Democrats of the towns and
the granger Democrats over the nomina-
lions for Surrogate and Sheriff. The Re-
publicans say that the jealousy over these
~ominations threatens the defeat of the
party next fall, and as the Republicans
have decided to nominate farmers for
these positions their success is assured.
This is a sort of whistling to keep up
their courage while going through the
woods. Assemblyman Blackwell Of
Ringoes, q member of the Democratic
County Committee, and one of the ablest
of the party leaders of that county, was
In Jersey city one day this week and
he laughed at the dreams of the Repub-
1icans. He declared there was no trou-
BILE among the Democrats of H~unterdon,
that the choice Of the Democratic voters
would be nominated and elected by an
od-fashIoned Hunterdon majority.
Their own ouble in Salem, Somerset,
Essex and Union appea to have made
the Republicans mad.

New Hampshire presented a pretty
sneetacle to the world yesterday. Two
United states Senators, supposed to be the
nersonfacation of dignity and refined
courtesy. auarrelled like two crap players
ana they were only prevented from COM
ing to blows by the Intervention OF
friends. Both of these individuals are OF
that party which pretends to be dignined
and respectable, which lays claim to hav-
ing within its ranks all that Is refined
cultured and enlightened in the country.
The accomplished Chandler is accused by
his colleague in the highest legislative
body in the land of being a plain every
day liar. He in turn made accusations
which his exalted colleague denied n
intfmated that he dare not repeat
them outside. whereupon Mr.. Chandler,
metaphorically speaking. spat upon his
hands and made a rush for the door
followed closely by Senato GalIinger.
II is to be deeply regretted that friends
prevented the grave and reverend Sena-
tors from coming together. 1t has long
been known that Chandler is an arrogant
blackguard, very valiant with his mouth
and much given to foully abusing those
who differ from him politically. It is
also suspected that he is a past master
in the great American gam Of bluff"
and it would have been a matter of much
satisfaction to many people if he had been
allowed to show whether he was man
enough to back up his foul abuse.
But what a humiliating spectacle 1t
was for Americana Two of the members
Of the Senate engaged in a common, or
binary street brawl. and only prevented
from pounding each others faces by the
intervention of friends. And more humili-
ating still is the fact that the brawl arose
at the trial Of a United States senato for
violating the election law of the land.
What a comment the entire proceeding is
upon the pharisaical claim of the Repub-
leans that their conduct in election mat
tiers is always pure. honest and above re-
proach.

A list of cases for which the Court will

dictment against the Western Union Tele-

that a number of indictments would be

it was customary at the close of a term

eases in which there Is no possibility Of
a conviction
The indictment of Mr.. Bertholf and the
Telegraph Company was for aiding and
abetting ~greengoods men in refusing to
give police information relative to certain
kilograms. Il is believed hat these in
d.ctments are in the list because Of the
presence Of a statue which makes 1t a
