some of the Essex polish to the guber-
material chamber.
We do not just understand the
above from our esteemed contempor-
airy the Elizabeth journal. We have
no recollection of seeing Foster M.
Voorhees, other than polished save the
time when he was compelled to climb
in the back window of the Senate
Chamber, the latter being occupied
by Democratic trump Senate, VINO
with its ten senators claimed a
majority Of that body, which com
prises twenty -one members. Upon
that night we distinctly remember
that Senator Voorhees, had all the
polish rubbed off from an enforced

with several Democratic doorkeepers

CHRONICLE CONGRATuLATES
MAJOR CARL LENTZ.

Major Carl Lentz, chairman of the
Essex County Republican Committee is
to be congratulated upon his successful
fight in that county. He is wonderful
organizer, strict disciplinarian, and
above all he has the faculty of seeing
things just as they are, and withal he is
a wonderful judge of men. He made no
mistakes in the campaign, and was so
well informed of the canvas in the State
that fortnight ago he predicted Mr..
Murphy's election by at least 10000
majority.
The thorough work done by Major
Lentz, chairman Of the Essex County
Republican Committee, and the results
in other counties where the Republican
majorities were much larger than ex-
pected show the Importance of organ
ization To organize the work in
county requires as chairman, person
who is in close touch with the leaders
and prom inent members of his party in
the various townships throughout the
county. He must be resourceful and
tactful, with the happy faculty of draw
ing men to him instead of repelling
them. Had the same conditions pre-
vailed in Morris county as to the chair
manship of the Republican County Com
mittee as in other counties where fine
results were obtained the majority for
the Republican ticket would have been
1880, instead of $685. but we are thank
full under all the circumstances for these
figures
