eve may be happy yet, You Bet"
Packers luck is thing of the past.
Two wornout candidates have been laid
away to rest. Bryan and Packer will
never run again.
The Democrat feels awfully bad. II
says: Tuesday was the end of Democra-
cy and the Republic.
Wonder if Tom Cash has had enough
or will he consent to again be led, like a
lamb, to the slaughter3
In it's last issue prior to election the
Democrat said Keep your eye open and
you will see Bryan landslide November
Is. Sure thing"
Joseph W. B. Jennings was in town on
Wednesday. He takes his defeat with
good nature and says he thanks all who
helped him even if it did not elect him.
"Give Packer one" was the rallying cry
of the Democrats during the campaign,
and the voters in Packers election dis
trict responded and gave him just one ma
jority.
Free rural delivery and improved postal
facilities are appreciated in this county,
and Congressman Gardner was given
good majority in return for the good work
he has done.
This election business is almost enough
TO drive one mad. Before election half
the people tell you what is going to hap
pen, and after election all the people tell
you how it happened otherwise.
One of Bryan's favorite remarks during
his recent swing around the circle was to
the effect that if the people were satisfied
with the way things had been going the
past four years they should vote for Nc
Kinley. The satisfaction was evidently
great.
The NEWS is highly gratifed to an
nounce the defeat of Howard E. Packer.
AS it is not fair to kick man when he is
down we will rest content by saying the
turning down of Packer was the best
thing that has happened in Burlington
county for long time.
When the returns began to arrive so
fayorably Postmaster Winner could not
stand it any longer, so he called the Pal-
myra Republican club together and started
for Philadelphia where they were loudly
cheered as they marched up Chestnut
street headed by good fife and drum
corps
Governor Voorhees, has appointed the
following Senators to constitute the State
Board of Canvassers: Joseph Gross, Union
county; johnson Cornish, Warren; II. W.
Johnston, Camden; c. A. Francis, Mon
mouth; Charles A. Reed, Somerset;
Christian Brown, Passaic. The board will
meet Tuesday, the 9th, to canvass the
vote in the State, the Governor presiding.
The Democrat takes the defeat very
much to heart The cut of Bryan which
has graced the head of one of its columns,
with the statement that Bryan is to be
the next President, has been laid away to
rust. S. M. R., the fluent Camden Free
Silver writer, is like Othello, his occupa-
ton gone. The Democrat says too much
Crokerism did it. One of its utterances
is, "Judas Croker gave feast and ne and
his victim sat at the head of the table, and
on November he betrayed him"
The Burlington Gazette offered years
subscription to the person who guessed
nearest to the pluralities Tommy Birch
! and Howard Packer would get in Bur
lington. We remarked they would not
get the semblance of plurality. AS we
get the Gazette in exchange the copy award
ed for the correct guess may be sent 10
.sYou Bet" as souvenir for his excellent
predictions about Auditor Worrell as well
as gentle reminder of the great influence
welded by his very weighty communlca-
tons.
