Judge George Gray Of the United States
Court has decided to support the Demo.
cratic ticket which makes very nice
distinction between him and attorney
Beck, who sold his party for political
appointment.
Judge Gray was member Of the COM
mission which settled the terms Of peace
between the United States and Spain in
1893, and as such voted against the treaty
because Of the requirement Of the Philip
pines He was afterward appointed to the
United States Court by President McKin-
ley He was always a pronounced Demo-
erat, but hostile to free silver coinage. His
present attitude will have great effect in
Maryland and Delaware where the Gold
Democrats have been expected 10 give the
deciding voice for Mex lnisF.

To those who are inclined to wander
from the Americanism of Washington
Jefferson, Madison and Lincoln, in searcl
of the glories of military misadventures and
legislative corruption, these trenchanr
words of Mr.. Bryan open up another and
more glorious prospect.
Lean conceive of national des.
tiny surprising the glories of the
present and the pasta destiny
which meets the responsibilities Of
to-day and measures up to the pos
sibilities of the future.
Behold republic resting securely
upon the foundation stones quaried
by Revolutionary patriots from the
mountain of eternal truth-a re
public applying in practice and
proclainiing to the world the self
evident proposition that all mer
are created equal that they are
endowed with inalienable rights
that governments are instituted
among men to secure these rights
that governments derive their Just
powers from the consent of the
governed.
Behold a republic in which civil
and religious liberty stimulate all
to earnest endeavor, and in which
the law restraints every hand up
lifted for a neighbours injury
republic in which every citizen is
a sovereign, but in which no one
cares to wear a crown.
Behold republic standing erect
while empires all around are bowed
beneath the weight of their own
ornaments a republic whose flag
is loved while other flags are only
feared.
Behold republic increasing in
population, in wealth, in strength
and in influence, solving the prob
lens of civilization and fastening
the coming of an universal brother
hood-a republic which shakes
thrones and dissolves aristocracies
by its silent example and gives
light and inspiration to those who
sit in darkness.
Behold republic gradually but
surely becoming the supreme moral
factor in the worlds progress and
the accepted arbiter of the world S
disputes republic whose history,
like the path of the just, is as the
shining light that shineth more and
more unto the perfect day.

sans the PARTY Haa LET Him.


General Roeliff Brinkerhoff, of Mans
field Ohio, was one of sixty Ohioans who
attended the first Republican Convention
at Pittsbury, Pa, February %, 1856, and
is one of the few survivors of that Con
vention Under date of October IS, he
received a letter from Perry S. Heath
Secretary of the Republican National Com.
mittee, asking him to sign patriotic
appeal to the voters of the United States
grr"c;pg them to vote for Mckinley and
roosevelt in the present Presidential cleo
ton.
Mr.. Brinkerhoff made the whole CORES
pondence public last Thursday, from which
we quote the following
ssDear Sir: On my return home after a
weeks absence, l find your letter of the
18th instant
SURVIVORS ARE DEMOCRATS.
Asking me, las one of the survivors Of
the Pittsburg Convention of 1856, organ
izing the Republican party, to approve its
present position OF the Ohio delegates
there are three survivors, Hon. Rush r.
Sloane, of Sundusky; Hon. George H. Frey,
of Springfield. and myself. OF these Frey
alone is Republican. Sloane and I are
Democrats. Governor Edgerton, of Akron,
who died recently, was also Democrat.
Judge Epson, who has been quoted as one
of the survivors, was at Philadelphia, but
not at Pittsburg.
''There were about sixty Ohio delegates
at the Pittsburg Convention, and nearly all
of them subsequently were men of renown,
and from my knowledge of them am very
sure large majority if now living would
be Democrats
''We did not leave the Republican party;
the Republican party left us. The Repub-
lican platform of 1856, 1850 and 1864, and
also in 1868, with the exception of a single
plank, was fully in accord with the prin-
ciples of Jeffersonian Democracy but in
1872 the Republican party apostatized to
strange gods, and the Democratic party,
after wandering in the wilderness for a
dozen years, returned to its old faith, and
since then have been at home in politics
with the comrades of my youth.
Then, and since then, occasionally there
have been planks in Democratic platforms
did not approve, and there are such now,
as there are spots upon the sun, but as a
whole the principles Of home rule, and fair
play for all remain undimmed, and just
now William Jennings Bryan is their
prophet. Under existing circumstances,
therefore, you must excuse me in refusing
to sign the paper you send me.
Very respectfully yours,
L. BRINKERHOFF. y

Candidate for Congress George Pfeiifer, Jr,,
is engaged in the herculean task Of purging
the registry lists in Camden of some two
thousand g, 0oo) fraudulent names placed
thereon by all sorts of tricks known to
professional election thieves. He has a
large force Of clerks verifying the lists Of
voters and corps Of detectives spotting
out the repeaters. That candidate Of any
party should be placed to such enormous
expense to secure an honest ballot to the
people is reproach on the civil authorities
of the city Of Camden-on the Mayor, the
judges of the Court, the prosecutor, and
lastly, and most Important on General
William J. Sewell One word from the
Latter would stop all the illegal voting in
Camden and insure on honest count.
But that word is not spoken; the Mayor
and the States law officers are silent, while
the police and fire departments and petty
magistrates prosecute the nefarious business.
But all this is the natural outgrowth Of
system of bossism which forces the nomi-
nation of a man Of the character Of II. G.
Loudenslager. A man who proved recreant
to great business trust, and who, as a
legislator has proved recreant to the inter
ests Of his own constituents.
George Pfeiffer, Jr., is engaged in a
fierce struggle with an INSCRIPTIONS gang
of thieves to return the elective rights to
the people of his home county. He has
entered upon the task with a full knowl-
edge Of what he was to encounter, and in
50 doing he displays a courage possessed by
few men in this or any other State Of the
Union. He is sacrificing his time, his com
fort, and expanding great sum of money
to secure an honest ballot in Camden.
There are four other counties in this district
where the people vote practically free from
boss dietation, and illegal votes are a rarity,
To the honest voters of these counties
George Pfeiffer's fight in Camden appeals
with especial force. He is testing the eff
cacy of the American system of choosing
public servants If the ballot-box stuifer
the repeater and the impersonator are tC
rule, our boast of government by the people
is an idle one. 1t is the duty of every
citizen who admires honest, courageous
manhood, manhood that carries maj
into such contest for principle, to stand
by George Pfeiffer, Jr., by giving him hi
vote where it surely will be counted
Thousands of honest Republicans in Cam
den county are supporting Col Pfeiffer il
his present contest, and will cast thei
ballots for him on November 6, and ever,
independent Republican in the counties Q
Gloucester, Salem, Cumberland and Cap
May should join the Democracy in riddin;
the district of Loudenslagerism and max
ing the ballot-boxes of the district tn
honest registers of the peoples will.

Ex-U. S. Attorney General Defines his Pc.
sition.
Hon. Judson Harmon, of Cincinnati,
Ohio, who supported Palmer and Buekne1
four years ago, has declared himself for
Bryan. Judge Harmon was on the Bench
of Ohio for many years, and succeeded
Secretary 0lney as Attorney General in the
Cabinet of Grover Cleveland. His position
is defined in letter to Mr. George NJ.
Irwin, Colorado Springs, Col as follows
Dear Sir: l am glad to answer the ques-
ton you ask by your letter of the 18th
instant, just received, about my position in
the present compaign.
While disagree with Mr.. BRYAN as
strongly as ever about many things, the
free coinage of silver included, intend to
vote for him, because, like him and the
Democratic Convention, believe those
things are not so important, nor so urgent
as Others on which 1 heartily agree with
him.
Under our system, when President
seeks reelection, the primary question
always is wheather we approve or condemn
what he has done, especially when he
means to keep on doing it. In this in
stance, l wish to condemn and have no
means Of doing 50, except by voting in
the only way which can possibly be eff
fectiye
The attempt is made, as it always is, TO
prevent condemnation for what the Ad-
ministration has done by fortelling dread
full things that the opposition will do.
But, if there be such danger, wise men
always prefer a risk to certainty, espe-
eially when, as now, the certainty in
wolves 50 much more than the risk.
Very sincerity yours,

More than six hundred tons Of campaign
literature have been franked through the
mails by the Republican campaign manag-
ers of the campaign. Their fragrant abuse
of the ranking privilege exceeds anything
in history. They have mulcted the Post
Office Department out of not less than
100000 in having it carry postage free the
six hundred tons Of campaign literature.
That is the contribution of the Government
to the 'perpetuation'' Of McKiniey's adj
ministration. The Republican National
Congressional Committee has used Loco. :
000 envelopes. Each one cost the Govern
ment a fraction over cent. The com
mittee got them free from the Government
printer. For three months Republican
campaign Literature has had the right of
way in each Of the 50, 600 post offices Of
the country and the whole cost is borne
