Swallowed Her False Teeth.

Long Branch. Aug. 19-NIrs. Andrew
Mariner Of Belmar swallowed the upper
set of her false teeth when eating a
peach at her home. The plate lodged in

swallowed the plate. The hospital ply
scians found the teeth in the unfortu-
nate woman's stomach, and by means of

plate and teeth were successfully remov-
ed. Mrs. Mariner will recover.

LEST WE FORGET.
Full Text of the Proposition Made by the Union Repub
lican State Committee, January TO- to the Boter
Republican State Organization.
ON THIS PROPOSITION THE UNION REPUBLICANS STOOD AND

ton shall have the first choice
of all the nominations to be
made, the minority the first
choice of all the remainder; and
thus in an alternate manner
until all the nominations are
completed:
That the question of the cleo
tion of two Senators to the Sen
ate of the United States shall be
disposed Of by the adoption Of
one or the other Of the two fol-
lowing propositions:
First; That each faction shall
have undisputed choice to the
election of a Senator.
Or, second: That the voters of
each Senatorial and Representa-
tive District shall, BY a majority
rule, nominate their respective
legislative candidates; that loyal
support shall be given the same
by all Republicans without re
gard to past factional divisions,
and that the whole question of
the election of Senators to the
Senate of the United States shall
be left to the Legislature itself
when assent bled without prior
reciprocal obligations or pledges
of any kind upon the members
thereof as to their disposition Of
the matter:
That, if the foregoing propo-
sitions should seem to be unfair,
in that it is denied that the ma
jority of the Republicans of this
State are affiliated with the
Union Republican party, and
that the foregoing propositions
are therefore a covert attempt to
gain a political advantage that
could not be had by an appeal to
the people, | am authorized and
directed to make a further propo-
sition:
That all the foregoing propo-
sitions be laid aside, that a COM
mon primary for delegates to a
State Convention with equality
of representation in the several
Representative Districts under
the Constitution be held by the
Republican voters Of this State,
and that a ticket be nominated
by said convention solely by the
will Of the majority, and if ad-
verse to the Union Republican
party to pledge loyal support OF
all Union Republicans to the
election Of an entire ticket thus
nominated.

The offer OF the Republicans

rejected by the Union Republic
cans. This refusal came close
upon the announcement that
the Union Republican mama
gers had decided to name men
of their own arbitrary selection
for the three principal officers
to be voted for on the state
ticket. In spite of the promises
made the National Convention
in Philadelphia that the Repub-

promise that every effort would
be made to bring about har-

all Republicans in this state,
