BURLINGTON county VOJerS, Dy SlauClng
at the ticket at the head of this column,
may see the names of the nominees pre-
sented for consideration by the Republi-
cans of this state and county. Part CT
the ticket has been in print for some time.
The conventions of Saturday completed
that portion in which the people of this
county are directly interested. For three
years past the county of Burlington has
not been represented in the Senate. True,
we have had member of that body, but
nobody, not even the Democrats who
elected him, are willing to admit that the
Senator whose term is about to expire,
has been representative man. The Re-
publican party has nominated one who
will be all that can be asked in that re-
spect. Nathan Haines is a gentleman, a
business man, and one who will never
cause the blush of shame to mantle the
brow of those who will send him to seat
in the legislative halls at Trenton. He
has lived in this county all his life, and is
well known to our citizens. He began
life on a farm, and later engaged in mer-
camille pursuits, finally becoming cashier
of bank in Burlington. His business
life has brought him in contact with many
people, especially in that section known
as the river front" Those who are in
timately acquainted with our candidate,
and those who have had business dealings
with him, will bear willing testimony to
the fact that he is well fitted for the posi-
ton to which he will be elected next
month.
While the position of Senator is of the
utmost Importance, it is necessary to have
able assistants in the lower branch. The
convention at Moorestown took good care
that this requisite should not be over
looked. With a remembrance of the good
work he has already done, with just ap-
probation of his experience in legislative
matters, there was little hesitancy in re-
nominating Charles Wright, the Mans
field farmer. This is an honor never be-
fore conferred by either party in this
county-the nominating of candidate
for fourth term. That Assemblyman
Wright has given satisfaction is beyond
dispute, and this will be proven by the
majority he will receive at the election in
November
The ticket last year was Wright and
Homer 1t will be the same this year,
but the personnel will be changed, Mr..
Wright's companion, while bearing the
same name as the retiring member, being
another kind of fellow. The nominee
this year is John g. Homer, young law
yer from the lower part of the county.
John has frequently been before the pub
lie in conventions and on the platform.
He is perfectly fitted for legislative du-
ties, keenly alive to all important ques-
lions of the day, and fully acquainted
with the needs of the people of this coun-
| ty. He will not be drone in the hive,
but will attend to his duties faithfully.
The people will be able to reach him at
all times, and there will not be any neces-
sity to remind him, at any time, that he is
expected to work in the interests of his
constituents.
For Auditor the party has named Will
liam w. Worrell. Since the death of Mr..
Gibson, the office has been satisfactorily
conducted by Mr.. Worrell, who was ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy. He is now
before the people for election. AS County
Clerk he gave satisfaction to all who had
business with him, and when he retired at
the end of his term he carried the good
wishes of the people at large. As an evil
dence of their confidence in him, the yot-
ers of Burlington county will elect Will
liam W. Worrell Auditor by large ma
iority.
