No stronger argument for the Crawford
county system of nominating candidates
can ever be offered than the result of the
old method in this county last week.
Under the rule that has prevailed for years
the townships were represented i'll the
state convention by delegates. Some of
them were elected under promise or pledge
that was easily broken when the delegate
came under the influence or persuasion
that confronted him when he reached the
scene of action. One of the most no
ticeable things in connection with this
affair was the ease with which some men
who had given their solemn pledge, light
ly cast the promise to the winds. Had
the selection of a member of the state ex
ecutive committee been left to the people
uudixectly there is not the slightest doubt
at there would have been change, as
lie man elected by the delegate system
could not secure an office in this county in
contest at the polls. There were other
things in connection with the recent cleo
ton of delegates which would have been
different had the Crawford county system
been in vogue. Tears and entreaties to
be allowed ito go just this once would
not have availed; nor would one man have
been allowed to represent an entire town
ship when the call distinctly stated that
each election district was entitled to del
egate; nor would man with but one pur-
pose in view have been allowed to represent
atownship where no delegate election was
held, but who presented proxy made out
in his own handwriting, and probably sug-
gested to the signer after the latter had
made a visit to the Office of the holder Of
the proxy There are some methods in
politics which are looked for in backwoods
men and those who are not expected tt
know better but when men who hold higf
heads and claim to be the personiicatior
of honor, and who become indignant il
there is but the breath of suspicion tha
they would do anything just little of
color, get down to work that is denounced
If done by ward heller, what can be said
These remarks are not the wall of defeat
but they are the sentiments of many gooc
Republicans in the county of Burlington
who are not willing to acknowledge tina
they or their party are properly repre-
scented on the state executive committee.

THE News takes great pleasure in not
ing the advancement of it's friend, James
p Logan, to the chair of editor in chief
of the Newark Eoeniag Nesos, bright,
able gentleman at the head of bright and
influential journal.
Nor content with controlling the Board
of Freeholders the trolley magnates in this
county are seeking to enlarge their field
and propose to take hand in nominating
candidate for Senator. Approaching
the fact that such official will probably be
a Republican they are already laying plans
for capturing the delegates to our conven-
ton One gentleman who aspires to a
seat in the higher legislative body was ap-
preached by trolley man Ga Democracy a
few days ago and was told that the former
was too good fellow to take the risk of
defeat for nomination and election and
was told he had better be satisfied with a
seatin the Assembly. He was also assured
that there was no hope for him along
the river front.

few days ago and was told that the former
was too good fellow to take the risk of
defeat for nomination and election and
was told he had better be satisfied with a
seatin the Assembly. He was also assured
that there was no hope for him along
the river front.
WHILE the election of member of the
state committee may not have much i'm
portance on the face of it, the action of
the delegates to the state convention last
Thursday from this county will play some
part in the nomination of a Senator from
this county. The issue has been Joined
and at least one candidate for Senator has
given notice that he prefers the aid of
Hutchinson, Borton g. Co., and does not
care for the assistance of the friends
of DR.. W. G. Parry and George Wildes.
It now remains to be seen whether
{ the Republicans of Burlington county are
prepared to again pass under the rod and
have repetition of the result in 1897 OF
whether, being forewarned, they will take
matters in hand at the right time and
nominate candidate acceptable to the
people.
IA GRACIOUS AoT' is what the State Ga
zette calls the action of Senator Kean, who,
in the interest of harmony, withdrew from
the contest as delegate at large to the
National convention and thereby made II
possible for Barker Gummsre, of Mercer,
to become a representative in that body.
1t certainly was what the Gazette calls II
gracious" but there are many who
wonder if it should have been made nee
essary for Mr.. Kean to withdraw. For
many years it has been the custom for the
United States Senator-both If we had
two-to represent us in the national body,
yet this year one was compelled to step
aside to crafty the ambition of a young
man from Mercer. He knew the custom
but needed it not. and Senator Sewell
made the statement in open convention
that the contest over the position reached
point that if Senator Kean had not with
drawn, the senior Senator would have
been compelled to do so. They were will
ing for party harmony, to abolish custom,
to give way to one with no particular
claim for the honor. 1t was a gracious
act in Senator Kean, and what chance
was lest by the Mercer statesman who
failed to show the same interest in the
welfare and harmony of the party.

GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENT.
Others Injured While Return
ing From a Funeral.

Slatington, Pa, Aug. 13.-Eleven
persons were instantly killed and II
others, several of whom will die, were
seriously injured in a grade crossing
accident three miles east of this city
by passenger train on the Lehigh
d New England railroad crashing IN
to an omnibus containing % persons.
All the dead and injured were in the
omnibus and but three escaped unin-
jured.
The accident occurred about 5
o'clock. The omnibus, driven by
man named Peters, was returning to
Slatington from funeral the occu-
pants had been attending at Cherrys-
vile. The dead and injured were
nearly all relatives of Sophia Schoef-
fer, at whose obsequies they had been
present. The train was a special and
consisted of an engine and one car.
At the point at which the collision
occurred there is a sharp carve in the
road and the omnibus came along at
good rate of speed. the occupants
unconscious of any impending danger.
AS the bus swung around the curve
the engine and car came in sight. It
was too late to stop either the omni
bus or the train and as the driver of
the former whipped up the four
horses to cross the track ahead of
the train, the latter crashed into its
middle. The occupants were thrown
in all directions, bruised and bleeding.
The IL dead were killed outright.
Physicians and a special train were
sent for and the injured were taken
to South Bethlehem.
No Waterman is employed to warn
teams or pedestrians of any approach
ing train and those living in the vi
entity state that it is impossible to
hear an approaching train.
A peculiar feature of the accident
was that the horses drawing the bus
escaped unhurt.
