prise at some of the statements it contains,
Take, for instance, the remark that Colonel
Haines has been candidate for the office
for six years, giving away to other aspir-
ants. Six years ago he was waited upon
by two gentlemen to discover if he was a
candidate and he said bis duties at the
bank of which he is cashier would not
permit him to enter the contest. There
was no withdrawal in favorof another aspir-
ant there. What he may have done in the
interest of Joshua E. Borton is not known
to us. 1T was distinctly understood three
years ago that he was to be the candidate
this year without opposition. With
whom was it understood, pray2 Who is
there in this county that has the right to
make any such understanding three years
in advance? Read the allusion to the
statement about the appointment of Pro-
secutor Atkinson and then compare 1t
with the facts. Did you ever hear greater
bosh than the statement that Wildes and
his friends agreed not to oppose Haines in
return for the services of the latter and
his friends in not opposing the appoint
ment of Atkinson2 The contest over the
position of the Prosecutor is not so old
that the incidents have been forgotten.
When did the friends of Haines cease
their opposition to Atkinson2 Not until
the Governor had sent the name to the
Senate On the previous evening they
were at Trenton in force and when it be-
came evident that Atkinson was to be the
appointee the Governor was begged to al
low the Democratic occupant of the office
to remain ia possession for a year, the op-
ponents of Atkinson hoping that they
would elect Senator who would secure
for them the coveted prize. That is with
drawing opposition with vengeance is
it not The Trenton correspondent may
have the confidence of the Governor to a
greater degree than any other mortal, but
we wager dollars to doughnuts that he has
no authority for the statement that
Governor Voorhees, sacrificed his personal
preference to ''placate Wildes. That
Colonel Haines' friends are very active
along the river front is beyond dispute.
The argument being advanced is that
there must be harmony, but the terms OF
this harmony seem to be solid delegation
for Haines on the river front, and division
of the delegates in the country.

DON'T Buy Wet Lime.

May list, 1899, put lump of dry lime
weighing IA ounces in box and put it on
the top of desk in my Office where it re-
manned until September 18th, 1899, when
the lime weighed twenty and four-tenths
ounces, gain of over one-fourth of its
original weight The lime had fallen into
small Jumps and the gain was aoGter, which
it had absorbed entirely from the air in a
dry room. This means that you buy over
four ounces of water with every 16 ounces
of fallen lime, peck of water with a
bushel of lime. You buy much more
water as the lime you buy has not been
kept in dry room, but under an open
shed, where it is exposed to the dampness
at night and to stormy weather. run of
Kiln Lime" is dry and cheaper to buy-it
Stacks two bushels for one and you know
what you are getting. I sell run of kiln

If Mr. Bryan was elected President, he
would be called upon to form his Cabinet
and the well being of the people of this
country would depend, in large measure.
upon the men whom he chose to serve as
heads of our great departments. 1t is in
this respect, more almost than in anything
else, that Mr.. Bryan weakness as can
didate ilies. Are there any men among
those who are his chief supporters that a
thoughtful, patriotic American citizen
would like to see filling these Cabinet
positions Mr.. Mckinley has, at least,
been singularly fortunate in his Cabinet
appointments Secretary Hay is one of
the ablest diplomatists that has ever been
at the head of our State Department.
Secretary Gage has had an unusually
thorough training as fnancier. Secre-
tary Long has proved himselfto be a naval
administrator of exceptional ability, while
Secretary Root has won for himself a de-
servedly high reputation, particularly
when the record of his predecessor proved
the serious results of his official incapacity.
But where would Mr.. Bryan, if elected,
look for his Cabinet2 The effort of a
President is to have all parts of the coun-
try represented in his Executive Council.
Under such circumstances the selection of
certain men for Cabinet Offices could be
confidently counted upon, namely: Messrs.
Altgeld, of Illinois Croker, or some one
of his nomination, from New York Mr..
Williams, of Massachusetts Senator Till
man, of South Carolina, and Senator
Jones, of Arkansas. These men could
claim the higher Cabinet offices. Boston
