his life in Belfast, Me-, where he was well
known, both for his successful healing
and for his personal goodness. Ei~ inter

Concerning. this period we have ample
testimony from those who daily saw Mrs.

that, though claiming to be so well at the
end of three weeks as no longer to need
treatment Mrs. Patterson still went regu-
larly to DIR. Quimby'S office to ask him
questions concerning his methods. When

The Caucus BroLors' "Trust."

The Clinton Democrat, ex-senator
Carpenter paper, in its issue of last
week, says:
There is one point on which we be-
lieve the Democrats of this county are
substantially united since last Satur-
day and we believe that to strengthen
this unity by keeping this point to
tho front is in the present contest
our party's best assurance of success.
1t is this: that not only the caucus
brokerage firms that have now com
bined in crust" must 90, but the
whole caucus brokerage business with
them.
Men put in Office at Pennington by
the favor of the Hunterdon Democ-
racy have set themselves up to run the
party in the county; sell nominations;
compel candidates to pay tribute to
them az sort of central office ex-
change, and to overwhelm with
boughten votes any candidate whom
they cannot hire or scare to get out of
their way.
1t was bad enough to have this sort
Of shop set up by opposition con-
cerns-when VIM. Bloom started one
stand and Howard Lake another after
they had in turn begged or bought
the Offices they got. But when they
form Crust" and not only use big
corruption funds together to control
the caucus through the stock their
agents bring out to vote, but go so far
as to brazenly change ballot boxes in
large townships $50 that when the
people vote rs majority for one candi-
date it is turned into $50 for the
other, and stuff the boxes las in the
ward thrown ont in Lambertville), it
is time the whole thing was stopped;
and to do this will be the first work Of
the Democratic party of the county M
soon as election is over.
This will be simple enough. Compel
every candidate, before he is declared
the nominee, to swear in open Con
vention that he has not spent over
five hundred dollars in the caucus
either directly or indirectly. A man
who has not enough honest support
from the people to keep within that
much expense, has no right to be re-
garded as the Democratic candidate.
Then make Rule so that no returns
will be received if it is violated.
That rule requires the counting OF
votes in public as soon as the polls
close at z.
The business OF peddling out Demo
cratic nominations, or making mer-
chandise Of the Democratic party Of
Hunterdon, will cease, and there will
be no future firms OF Bloom & Go. or
Lake & Co, when there is nothing
for them to do business on.

If you want the very best coal get
it of Geo. W. Massey.

The Mountainville correspondent
of the White House Review writes as
follows respecting the corruption incl
dent to the recent Democratic Caucus:
From what we have learned since
Saturday, we believe more than ever
that our candidates for office should
purchase them at auction and then this
buying votes would end. We have
very little faith IN the honesty of the
greater part IF the caucus work. Big
gest boodler and biggest spendthrift
of money for rum generally gets there
Some of our people are much put
out on account Of ID. G. Farley receiv-
ing the treatment he did at the hands
of the political bosses. Everybody
around here knows that Mr.. Farley is
a good man for the Sheriff's office.
But that is not what the bosses are
after. Doodle, and nothing but boo
die, makes the political mare go. Mr..
Farley is man who does not believe
in purchasing votes like so many
squashes He believes in fair play
and an equal chance for everybody
according to fitness and not according
to the amount of Doodle spent for rum
and the ooh be joyful" When il
comes to regular election day the best
men Of this county will roll up vote
that will elect n man entirely different
from the one who received the nomi-
nation for Sheriff last Saturday.
Some may smile, but just wait and see
the votes that are counted at the cleo
ton in the wee sma' hours of the
morning. Bless your stars if the peo-
pie of Old Hunterdon won't come
down upon this Doodle business like a
wolf upon sheep fold, with an open
door, and put them to flight like so
many crows, and then where will the
nightly calculations be that were held
down in Pennington last week on
Tuesday night. Why everybody in
the whole of Tewksbury is going to
work with sleeves rolled up as it were,
and over in Clinton they are working
like so many beavers, and we heard
from Lambertville, where they are
already hustling, aud in fact from all
over the county in important points
that the friends of the boodlers are
quaking in their knees, and the foes
of the boodlers are smiling all over
on account of the glorious prospect of
the boodler's ring being broken, and
men who are true to right principles
are going to be elected for the county
Offices, sure.

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

The ticket nominated by the Re-
publican County Convention last
Wednesday is strong one. 1t is
composed of men who are capable,
honest, and who will faithfully serve
their constituents.
EDWARD c. JOHNSON, the nominee
for Sheriff, is popular man and
highly respected wherever he is known.
He is practical, wide-awake farmer,
and will, if elected, conduct the Sher-
IFS Office in the interests of the peo-
pie. He is the son of Capt. William
johnson, well-known citizen of
Lebanon township, and now occupies
his fathers farm in Round Valley,
where he was born. He is a gener-
Gus, public spirited man, and has a
great many warm friends in the COM
munity in which he lives. He has
twice been run on the Assembly
ticket, but neither time was there any
chance for the election of Repub-
lican. Now, the dissatisfaction with
the Democratic opponent himself, as
we'll as with the way in which he was
nominated, renders his canvass a
hopeful one.
john I. Cox, ex Sheriff of this
county, the candidate for Surrogate,
is most competent man for the posi-
ton. He is well. educated, clear
headed and trustworthy He is too
well-known to need eulogy. He has
the confidence of the farmers. He is
farmer himself, and has taken deep
interest in all that interests that large
class of our people. He holds promi-
nent position in the Farmers Grange,
both State and National. At home
he is looked up to as a man above the
ordinary and his advice is sought on
business and other questions. Mr.
Cox is a man possessing little prop
erty. and the people, if they vote for
him, will not vote to make the rich
richer. "
DAVID WILSON, of this city, candi-
date for Assembly in the First Dis
trict, is a plain man of the people,
strictly upright, and will stand by the
people. He will do Just what he
thinks is right, even if Tom" Palmer
and "Diek" Reading those terrible
busaboos that the county Democratic
papers are constantly using to scare
Democratic voters with, stand over
him with club.
Dr.. WILLIAM S. CREyELING, of
Bethlehem township, is the candidate
for Assembly in the Second District.
DIR. Creyeling is widely known. For
many years he was a praeticing physi-
clan at Stanton, and after relinqnish-
ing his practice there he retired to the
farm where he now resides. No man
stands higher in his profession than
he. He is man without stain and
his worth is recognized wherever he
is known.
