Commend, second Ward Republicans.
To THE Enron az Tnf REeoRn
The Republicans of the Second
Ward of Lamhertville deserve the
thanks of the City Republican EXecu-
tive Committee.
Therefore, as the ward representa-
tive of the City Committee, it gives
me pleasure not only to thank but to
congratulate the Republicans of the
Second Ward on the showing made by
them Mt the recent election for county
officers, they having given every can
didate on the Republican ticket n plu
rality, something accomplished by
only two other precints i'll the county,
viz, Fronchtown and High Bridge.
This is something 10 be proud of, and
especially is such loyalty to he com
mended when it is taken into con
sideration what determined fight
was made in this ward by the Dom
ocracy.
MAY the Republicans of the Second
Ward be proud Of their achievement
and continue in the future to so de
cisiyely rebuke dishonest political
methods Yours very truly,

ridcbck's Creditors VIII Lose Al.
The stockholders of the defunct
Somerset County Bank have given up
all hope of realizing on the $50, 600
worth of former Congressman j. n.
Pideoek's paper which the receiver for
that institution has held for three
wears. Mr.. Pideock, as stated in our
paper last week, recently filed an in
solvency petition in the United States
District Court at Trenton, in which
he stated that he owes about $685., 900
and has absolutely nothing with which
to meet the claims.
The late William Johnston, of Tren-
ton, who was appointed receiver of
the bank, investigated Pidcock's af-
fairs and informed the stockholders
that it was his belief that they would
ultimately realize on the ex-Congress-
man = paper. Pidcock's latest action
blights the hope of a number of PEG
pie who had their savings invested in
the bank stock.
