Madison Republicans WIN support Citizens
Ticket

The Citizens primary was held in
Madison on Monday evening at 8.
Judge George H. Yeaman was elected
chairman and Harry b. Green secretary.
After short address on non partisan
government by the chairman, DR.. Stuart
Fl. Reed nominated James P. Albright
for mayor. Mr.. Albright has been
mayor of the borough since its accept
ance in 1889. William T. Brown and
George E. Bardon were chosen for coun-
cilmen and Francis Kluxen for commits
sioner of appeals.
The Republican primary was held in
the same hall on Tuesday evening, the
7th, and after considerable discussion
indorsed the Citizens ticket. George
E Bardon withdrew from the citizens
ticket in favor of Harry H. Francis. The
course of the party is regarded favorably
by many citizens, although a great
many Republicans were in favor of a
straight party ticket. The Citizens

Excise Board Turned Down the Applica-
tiOn of M. Lewis Brewer.
NJ. Lewis Brower's application to obtain
license for the Farmers Hotel was not
granted by the Excise Board at its meet
ing on Wednesday evening. A re-
monsIrance, which had been presented a
month before, was read and Rev. s. u.
Batten said that the place was not want
ed. Wives and mothers, he said, had
appealed to him to do what he could to
prevent the Farmers Hotel from being
reopened. In time past money had been
spent at this resort that should have gone
TO the families of the spenders. Since
the hotel had been closed, it was claimed
that the conditions in that vicinity had
greatly improved.
Thomas j. O'Brien, counsel for the
applicant, contended that legally there
was no remonstrance before the board
as the law states that it shall be filed five
days before this meeting, MIR. Q Brlen
took exception to a statement that the
applicants reputation was no guarantee
for the future, and said for the libel Mr..
Brewer could obtain redress.
After a recess of twenty minutes the
members returned and to the surprise of
nearly all present voted unanimously
against grant ng license.
A wholesale license was granted John
r. Piper for his place on Market street.
Salaries of the board were ordered paid.

A PLAIN "TOWN" is DOVER.

Special Correspondence.

DOVER, March 10-The Court of
Errors and Appeals on Monday gave its
opinion, confirming the decision of the
Supreme Court in reference to the con-
stitutionality of the act of 1895 incorpora-
ting Dover as city The judgment of
court is expected soon, which will end
this "city" business, much to the
satisfaction of people in general.
The last Council has been one of
expense and disappointment. Dover
expected to have a new water supply
and a gas plant. These four Council
men voted themselves $3.50 year, each,
for services rendered Dover in mixing
things up and involving it in law
suits which emptied the treasury and
disturbed the peace of her citizens
Taxes were greatly increased in view of
greater advantages, but these accrued
to the fathers, not to the expectant
citizens. The people are as anxiously
awaiting the old charter of 1869 as they
were the present Council before election
SO much for the alpha and omega of
Democratic rule in Dover.

AFFAIRS
The New President Will Have
Absolute Control.
The Details of the New Policy VIII
Soon Be Made Known Changes
in the Minor offices Not Yet Con-

The retirement of Samuel Sloan from
the presidency of the great Lackawanna
railroad system, after serving in that ca
pacity over thirty years, is an event in
which every resident of Morristown has
more than passing interest.
When Mr.. Sloan assumed the presi-
dency of the road his was the policy that
prevailed. He found road sadly in
need of financial assistance and of the
services of able and efficient heads for it's
various branches and departments.
Andrew Reasoner was in time made
the superintendent of the Morris & Es-
sex Division, and the high state of eff
cheney to which he has brought his
division ia matter of public comment.
Careful and practical heads were added
for other branches and divisions, un-
til to-day, the system is proverbial for
good management, while its employees
are among the best in the country.
Mr.. Sloan, in retiring from the presi-
dency, was made chairman of the Board
of Directors. new position and one
similar to that held for so many years
by Senator Chauncey Depew of the Hud-
son River Railroad The Vanderbilt in
terests control the Lackawanna o.day,
hence the creating of this Office and the
call of N. H. Trnesdale from the vice
presidency of Rock Island Road, also a
Vanderbilt property, as the new presi-
dent of the Lackawanna.
