of partisanship is one which a true states

county have shown, in no uncertain man.
ner. what the preference of the people is.
They demand a Democrat for the office.
This preference Mr.. voorhees, could
gracefully and honorablv accede to, by
appointing Mr.. Heavey, the highly
esteemed and most capable Under Sheriff,
to fiji the unexpired term of his late chief.
In making this nomination, Mr. Voorhees,
would earn high credit for himself, and
the conditions, which exist. would silence
all criticism.
If, however. Mr.. Voorhees, cannot rise
to this level, the next best thing that he
can do is to appoint Mr. Aaron Baldwin,
who was the Republican candidate op-
posed to Mr.. Heller three years ago. Mr..
Baldwin is, personally, an irreproachable
gentleman. He is not identified with any
of the most offensive characteristics of
local Republicanism. Above all, he is the
chosen man Of the party, q. fact which
was sufficiently shown by his choice in
convention az the party's candidate for
the Office.

GLOOMY PICTURE
Business in johannesburg Paralyzed
and Prices of Breadstuffs Rising.
Bankruptcy and Starvation Is Staring the
People in the Face-Transvaal Gov
ernment Will No Doubt Reject
Chamberlains Last Proposal

LONDON, Sept. f. - The Johannes
burg correspondent of the Daily Mail,
who paints gloomy and pitiable pic
ture of the condition of things there.
says:
1T is almost case of absolute exo-
dus and panic. Business is paralyzed,
the prices of foodstuffs are rapidly
rising, half the houses are empty and
the others are tenanted by people who
do not pay rent, the landlords being
glad enough to have them as occupants
in order to insure some sort of pro-
lection to the property.
''The tension has reached the snap
ping point. Bankruptcy and starva-
ton are staring the people in the face.
Another fortnight of suspense will re-
suit in a complete commercial collapse.
The banks are thronged with people
anxious to withdraw their gold, and
the railways are besieged by those who
wish to get away"
The Cape Town correspondent of the
Daily Mail says: The Transvaal au-
thorities are forwarding huge quanti-
| ties of Mauser ammunition from Pre-
toria to Bloemfontein. On Friday L.
500, 900 rounds arrived at the Orange
Free state capital.
All the special dispatches to the Lon
don morning papers from South
Africa indicate that the correspond
ents have got the impression that the
reply of the Transvaal government to
Mr.. Chamberlain's latest note will be
an impertinent rejection of the sug-
gested conference at Cape Town and q
threat to withdraw the five year fran
chise offer.
The correspondent of the Times al
Newcastle, Natal, confirms the belie1
of its Johannesburg correspondent
Mr.. Moneypenny, that aggressive ac
ton is imminent.

rested on Saturday, will be reduced
