| TO the Gloucester County Democrat.
MR. EDITOR: The article in The DEMO
|cRAT of two weeks ago, and an editorial
| in the Enterprise, have created somewhat
Of an excitement in town. Well, some
people hate to be told the truth; and the
editor says the writer should sign his name
to the article. Well the editor knows il
You say anything against the Ring yon
will hunt for another job, bat if the shoe
| fits him, he can wear it. And he speaks
of honest and fair means, why don't he
print the legislative records OF MIR. Ferrell
and Senator Stranger, and be fair and
| honest to all concerned? AS to mud
throwing" if he would look at some of his
own editorials he would find the very es-
sence of mud throwing and misrepresenta-
ton. We don't like to see man ride two
horses, except circus actor. Then again,
he says that the laboring men will be
asked to vote for Mr.. Ferrel through
friendship. In this world real friends are
30 scarce that it is well to stick to them
when you know them, and we are not
ashamed to own that we have feeling Of
friendship for Mr.. Terrell, both for his
kindness, his loyalty to the people, and
his ability as legislator.
The editor says that w0rkmen should
vote for Mr.. Stanger, because of business
deal, which he calls a friendly act. he did
in 1889, in their strike, when the Associa-
ton, through its committee, went the
mems security, which any store in Glass
b0ro would have done, as the Association
has always met its obligations on demand,
and other stores in the town accommodated
the men without the Association going
their security, and it can be proven at any
time. So the editor of the Enterprise
should spring something else in his aston
isher. Mr.. Stanger merely did $4,000
deal, with good security at the back of it,
payable on demand.
And that cash bill of Senator Strangers!
Well, it is good thing it is the time of
year for chestnuts. Mr.. Editor, why did
he try to pass bill to annul Mr.. Ferrelis
bill, as the cash bill of 1880 was as good as
could be? All it needed was enforcement.
And, Mr.. Editor, how about the primary
election. held within one hundred feet of
the Office of the Enterprise. Was that
msrepresented in the EnterpTisef The
people would like to know.
Had it not been for the large number of
labor organizations in this country, of
which Mr.. Terrell was one of the organi-
zers, aud President of one of the best,
monopolists would long ago have ground
the people under its ponderous wheels and
consigned the workingmen to a more
miserable seryitude than in the days of
shinnies or pass books because these trusts
want TO own the whole earth. Ninety. five
per cent. got their charters from the State
of New Jersey in the last two years, and if
not brought to halt by such legislation
as Mr.. Ferrell will aid in enacting, may do
so yet. He will legislate in the interest Of
the masses and against the Trusts, which
will suppress and drive out of business
those they cannot control.
Mr.. Ferrell will not take orders from
the ring of Office holders who control the
Republican primaries and nominate candi
dates for honest men to elect, but from the
whole people; and the laws that he aids in
making will be not Trust laws, but whole
some, broad and right for all the people.
