oook. MT. DunloDs reply to hlm was, that Mir. Bridges, who was then in Pine Bluff had the poll book. Returning at once to Pine Bluff, Mr. Bridges was met on the street, and ia the presence of Mr. Will Taggart and MT. J. ". Ragland, be stated that be did not have the poll book, that MT. Dunlop had the same.
 We ask you in all fairness. is this Democracy? Not until April the Huh, did we succeed in getting a list of the votes that were returned from that township. We immedi- ately proceeded to this township and made most thorough canvass of same and here give you the facts as we found them, whicE we are amply able to prove beyond the shadow of a doubt. They claim to have cast 128 votes. B of these ac. tually voted. Out of this B, 10 are residents of Lonoke and Pulaski eoun ties, of them are young boys, 5 of them lived in the township last year. The last 90 ballots, purport- ing to have been cast and returned, are purely ficticious, no white per- sons of the names as claimed to have voted. do not now live or have eyer lived in this township.
 AS to the report of there being two very large sawmills in this township who work very large crews of white men, the true facts are.
 That the shingle mill. which on March the 10th had twelve white men working for them, did not vote a man from that mill. Brummet's s mill had only thirteen men working for them, only eleven of these voted. All of which we have affidavit to show. We fourd in thls same township eleven as good Democrats and citizens as are Tn it, who stated to us that they did not go to the polls and that they never in ten ded 10 again as long as the pri- maries in that township are con. ducted as they have been in the past. These names we do not give but can do so if necessary. All o these facts were presented to the lgrand Jury. We were asked fol the names of witnesses to corrobo- rate our statements. These we gave them and we were led to believe tht matter would be investigated.
 Claiming we are elected to oul respective offices and the privilege being denied us of proving these facts, we come to you tor redress. Will you right the wrong ol not? If there has been DO fraud why the refusal to go into an ip. ] yestigation, when all the expenses i of such stigation was offered to be paid by us when we came before the Central Committed If the l Democratic party is tu be kept in- 1 tact, they must first and all be fair among their own members.
 Again we ask, what will you doi

ADDRESSED TO THE COUNTY CENTRAL COMMITTEE
 AND VOTERS
BY GOULD AND ALEXANDER
They Ask That the Fair Thing Be Done and the Many
 Wrongs Righted.

To the Democratic Central Committee of
 Jefferson County and every Democratic voter in the county:
 The demand from over this eh- tire county and city has come to us since the adjournment of the grard jury. in letters and in person. from people whom we know are in earn est, calling on us to give to the public true statement of the con- ditlon of affairs as regards the last primary election, aad the evidence we obtained in Bolivar and the other townships.
 We issue this letter and give the facts contained therein and believ. ing in your sense of justice aud right, we do not see how you can refuse to review this matter and sift it to the bottom. Some of the facts we produce you may now know. Most of them, we cannot think it possible that you know and ! would sit quietly by and not give your aid in rebuking and fighting. First. Take Whiteyilie township
 where 28 ballots were cast for Gould a.d 51 for Mccoy for sheriff, the returns gave Mccoy GA and Gould 15 and that they had been
 tempered with and did not cores. pond. There vas motion made to make the tally sheet cores pond
 with the poll book. Winch motion
 was put and carried by the commit
 tee without even sounding the bal lot to see if there was an error, giving the vote to Mccoy as shown
 by the returns, which was not the same as cast
 Second. Washington township, as we stand ready to show. caat aud closed her polls at 51 votes. A re- turn 0. 81 was made, making 30 H. l legal ballots, tte next morning the box being opened ard the 30 ballots put in.
 Third. In Jefferson township, Alexander for treasurer, had cast 1 for him 21 votes. Tie returns gave him II. Gould had IF votes cast l for him and was retdrned 4, All of which we can prove by the box 1 if we were allowed to go into it., and have affidavits from the parties | now in our possession casting the votes as stated above. The atten- tion of the judges when they an- nounced the vote that night was called to the error by the parties voting for us. great number who were still standing about the poll- ing place, they requesting the judges to at once recount the ballot, all of which they refused to do, saying that the central committee was the place to get redress.
 Fourth. In Bolivar township the proceedings are simply outrageous and it does no. seem possible that men call themselves Democrats, can do that was done there. The morn 1 ing after election MT. c. F. Gould vert to that township to get the vote boiled. He was not only re- fused by the Judges to see the dupti- cate poll book, but was treated in a very discourteous and ungentle- manly manner. A few days after the election, Mr. James Gould, hay ing in his possession a letter from Judge Grace, citing the law and say. ing that any citiz n had right {. see the duplicate poll book,
 went to Bolivar sowrship and re- ouestsd of one nf the Judges MT. J. J. Dunlop, that be be shown the

DEMOCRATIC GRAVE YARDS.

The Democrats of Pennsylvania
have declared for Bryan, the Chicago
platform and for all the vagaries
which have cost the Democracy the
loss of millions of votes in the coun-
try, and with countless thousands
hating in following the party flag
Bryan, as candidate for President
and the Chicago platform were the
creations of demagogie leadership
that appealed to the despairing in
dustries of the country, but even I'M
der these conditions the defeat was
overwhelming. The lack of respected
leadership is largely responsible for
present decentralization, but self
respect has forced the real leaders
into retirement In New Jersey,
DAILY and Atkinson have succeeded
Mcpherson and Albeit; in New York,
Bill Sultzer has supplanted Whitney
and Hill; in Pennsylvania, Guffy is
rattling around in the place of Patti
son, and so throughout the entire
country lot of nincompoops are
seemingly enjoying a public airing
in the graveyard of buried Democratic
hopes. -Hackettstown Gazette, Dem.

CHARLES HURTING.

The many friends of Charles Hurt
zig, eldest son of ex-Alderman Hurt
zig, were surprised to learn of his
serious illness late last week followed
by his death on Monday morning at
his home on Morris avenue.
Charlie Hurting as he was very
generally known by his schoolmates
and friends, was born in Brooklyn
twenty years ago. His parents
removed to East Orange, finally de-
Gliding to make Morristown their
home in 1890. Charlie attended the
Morristown High School until three
years ago, when he entered the es-
tablishment of Ferry & Napier,
manufacturing matters of Orange and
Newburg. New York, where by faith
full attention to his duties he learned
the intricate details of the halter s
trade from beginning to finish. He
was soon to leave the Orange factory
to accept position in the Newburg
establishment. Mr.. Hurting, who re-
sided during the week at the CONT
mental Hotel, Newark, spending Sun
days with his parents in this city,
was taken i'll at the hotel on Saturday
the 7th inst, his father was telephon-
ed on Sunday and at once went to
Newark, returning with his son later
in the day. Dr. Henriques called DR..
Pierson in consultation on Sunday
both pronouncing the case apppendici-
tbs. Later an operation was decided
upon, which was performed by DR..
ILL., of Newark, assisted by Drs. Hem
riques and Pierson the patient at first
seemed to rally but on Sunday last
began to fail, until he passed away
early on Monday morning.
The deceased was a young man of
fine promise and general favorite
He was fond of athletic sports, of a
genial disposition, and his early
death is sad blow to his parents
and friends.
The Rev. W. P. Taylor conducted
the funeral services on Wednesday
afternoon Interment was made in

RARE ART EXHIBITION.


Through the efforts of Charles A.
Kip, who represents Curtis & Gamer
on, of Boston, Morristown people will
have an opportunity to view an exhi-
bition of Copley prints, Queer prints,
and Copley sepias. in the Thatcher
building on the 18th, 18th and 10Th
inst
One Of the most charming of the
newest things is a series of five heads
illustrative of the five senses by
j. Wells Champney. The soft tone of the
Copley. print brings out in admirable
light the beauties of famous paint
ings, among those from which copies
have been made being selections from
Corot, Daubigny, Millet, Inness, Du-
pee, Thompson, and John LaForge.
The Copley prints won their first high
favor from the reproductions of Sar-
gents frescoes in the Boston Public
Library and to these have since been
added copies of the rich mural paint
lngs in the Library of Congress, and
some of William M. Hunts frescoes
in the Capitol at Albany. The mural
decorations in the new appellant
court house, N. Y, will also be on
exhibition.

CONCERNING ORANGE WATER.

Editor Starr of the East Orange
Gazette, learning of the criticism so
freely made concerning the quality
of water furnished the residents of
Orange for all domestic purposes,
comes to the rescue of the Water
Board as follows:
Orange suffered from second
disastrous fire last week, which might
have been controlled if the water
supply of the place had not been
entirely inadequate. The pressure
was so light that water would hardly
triclxle from the nozzles of the hose
when several streams were turned on
but we do not credit the story that
the water was so thick that it could
not have got through the hose fast
enough to be effective even if the
pressure had been all it should have
been. 1t is only in the summer time
that Orange water is too thick to run
readily through fire hose During
the winter season it is in liquid
state practically without Interrupt
ton. The facts in regard to both
quantity and quality of the Orange
water supply are sufficiently unfor-
tunate, and we must protest against
the PRONUNCIATION of exaggerated state
ments

RAILROAD COMPANY NEGLIGENT
SO Says the coroner's Jury of the Lawrence
Inquest.

"We find that Stephen Lawrence
was killed ON April 3rd, 1900, at the
railroad crossing of the Delaware,
Lackawanna and Western Railroad
in Morris Township, in said county,
which crossing is east of the Norman
dy Park crossing, by being struck
with a west bound train and that we
attribute his death to the fact that
there was no gate or gateman at the
crossing.
Such was the decision of the
Coroner's Jury at the inquest Friday
night. After all the evidence had
been taken, the jury went out and five
minutes returned with the above
verdict. Prosecutor Mills examined
serveral witnesses and Lawyer Charles
Thompson, of Jersey City, cousin
of Mrs. Lawrence, took minutes of
the proceedings. 1t was s. 30 when the
first witness was called and the last
evidence was taken about IL o'clock.
Peter O'Neil, the tender at
the Normandy Park crossing, was
the first to testify. He said that he
had seen the horse struck by the 5. 10
train which was few minutes late ;
the wagon was 200 feet from the
crossing when he first saw it and
noticing the approach of the down
train he shouted at the driver, and the
more he did, the faster the driver tried
to make the horse go. Both boys
were sitting ON the seat back of the
milk cans. He said that there were
no gates at the crossing and that he
was supposed to protect it by shout
ing. He had heard the whistle of the
approaching train and as it drew
nearer he again shouted warning as
did several pedestrians who were re-
turning from work.
Engineer Rutledge, whose engine
struck the vehicle, was next called
He said that he had blown his whistle
at the proper point and did not know
of any danger until his fireman
shouted to lookout, something is
coming. He did not see the acci-
dent. As soon as his fireman shouted,
he applied the brakes and succeeded
in stopping his engine about three
train lengths from where the accident
occurred. When the fireman shouted,
Engineer Rutledge said his engine
was almost at the crossing and as
soon as the train stopped he went
back to where Lawrence's body lay

COINCIDENCE.

The Assembly chamber erected ten
years ago was planned by James Moy-
Ian, an architect, who was member
of the Assembly from Hudson and
it was built by James w. Lanning, a
contractor, who was an Assemblyman
from Mercer County. By a coinci-
dence the new Senate Chamber that
is to be built this year was also
planned by an Assemblyman, Mr..
George E. Poole. of Chatham, Nor
ris County, who served in the Houses
of 1S9S-99, and who was Assistant
Clerk of the House this year. Mr..
Poole is an architect of more than
ordinary ability and an active Repub-
lican. He has served as secretary of
the Morris County Republican Com.
mittee during some hot campaigns,
and is Town Collector, having been
reelected last March. He has served
i'll the Chatham Board of Education,
and is quite popular in Morris County

FOR THE CHARTER ELECTION.

The call for the Republican Ward
Primaries for the nomination of can
didates to be supported at the ensu-
ing charter election also appears in
this issue. 1t is clearly the duty of
the Republicans of the various wards
to attend the primary meetings. The
character of the candidates who will
be named for Mayor, Aldermen and
other offices will depend upon the
interest shown in nominating dele
gates. The future interests of Nor
ristown will be largely affected by the
actions of those controlling it's NUM-
cipal affairs during the next two
years, hence the Importance of repre-
sentative candidates was never more
important.

LOVES EASTER.

Love has an Easter all her own;
And on the margin of the tomb.
Where Death his fatal work has done,
Puts on her brow perpetual bloom.
Love conquers most when all is loss
Compelling victory from defeat;
The shame, the agony, the cross,
Are throne steps for the victor feet.
Love sheds her tears that joys may
flow,
Holds closer bonds when friends
depart
Wards from her own, the treacherous
blow
And hides them in her constant
heart.
Love smiles at wrong, though that
may kill;
The strength of suffering is her
boast;
Supreme, she holds her sovereign will
By yielding to the uttermost.
Love has an Easter all her own;
And DER the grave where darkness
lay,
lifts her august throne,
Resplendent in Eternal day.

ATTEND THE PRIMARIES.

The call for the Republican Prim-
aries which are to be held next week,
for the election of delegates to the
State convention, who will select the
delegates to the Republican National
Convention to be held in Philadelphia
on June 10Th, appears in this issue of
the Chronicle. 1t ought not to be nee
essary to direct attention to the inn
portance of sending as delegates men
who will in every sense represent the
Republicans of Morris County at the
State Convention. A general interest
manifested in the primaries will ac-
complish this.

STATE CON MENTIONS.

The details of the meeting will be
arranged by the Republican State
Committee on the night before the
convention. 1t is stated that Chair
man Franklin Murphy favors the
selection of Senator William F. John
son, of Bergen County, as the chair
man of the convention. There is no
chance as to the possible big four. -
1t stands now, as it has for several
weeks, and is Senators Sewell and
Kean, Chairman Murphy and Barker
Gummere. There is apparently a
quiet fight on for national committee
man which is gradually disclosing
itself, and may become very general
within week The friends of Bar
ker Gummere are looking out for
delegates that would be friendly to
the selection of Mr.. Gummere. There
are others who are doing the same
thing for Chairman Murphy.
The Democratic situation is past find
ing although call has been issued for
meeting of the State Committee in
Newark on Saturday next The date
of the State convention has not been
considered, and the only thing on
the tapis is the Bryan symposium
arranged for Camden on April 26
to cement friendships and to improve
the prospects of Colonel Bryan for
getting a good healthy hold on the
Democratic State Convention The
call of this symposium is rhetorically
picturesque and reads as if it had
been prepared by the press agent OF
a Chicago dime museum. 1t is i'm
possible to say how far-reaching this
symposium will be, for, while Bryan.
ism is dead in many localities, there
is as yet no other idol for the Jersey
Democracy.

COUNTY SCHOOL sUPTs. MEET.

There is widepread discussion in
New Jersey just now over the new
general school law known as Senate
Bill No. 80.
Assistant State Superintendent of
Public Instruction J. B. Belts. ex-
planned the provisions of the law to
the county superintendent at a
meeting recently held in the branch
supreme court room at the Capitol
The county superintendent will at
once formulate rules for the govern
ment of the departments, under the
law.
At the meeting of the State Board
of Education held last week in Attain
tic City the law was thoroughly dis
named to draft new rules under it.
This committee comprises James @.
Owens, of Montclair; Joseph Scott.
of Paterson, Otto Grouse, of Jersey
City; S. st. John McCutcheon, of
Planifeld, S. R. Morse, of Atlantic
City, and George W. Howell, of
Morristown.
1t is expected that the committee
will have it's rules formulated inside
Of ten days or two weeks, and that
the law will go into actual operation.
The State Board, as body, is very
we'll pleased with the new law, the
only fault found on their part being
with the failure of the legislature to
provide for the apportionment Of the
school moneys on attendance rather
than the school census
The law, which is applicable through
out the State, will get before the
courts for a judicial determination,
as to it's constitutionality within a
very short time, many attacks have
been made upon it by constitutional
critics.
