Judge Forts Queer Ukase.

J. Franklin Fort has been SO much on
his good behavior since he was appointed a
Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jer-
sey that many good citizens are greatly
surprised at his amazing opinion that the
Voorhees, Act for securing Republican votes
in Democratic counties did not apply to
Sunday liquor selling.
He bases this precious opinion upon the
ground that the Voorhees, Act does not
apply to the liquor sellers because their
acts are not open, continued or notorious
violation of the law 1t will be difficult
matter for most people of ordinary intelll-
gence to figure out exactly how selling
liquor over bar in a room, access to which
is free and unrestrained, Sunday after Sun
day, is not an open, continued and motor
ious violation of the law against Sunday
liquor selling, while turning the wheel and
dealing the cards in an apartment away
from the street, and so situated that no
stranger passing would know what is going
on, is such violation of the anti-gambling
law.
Another thing which people cannot ex-
actly understand is why Judge Fort should
render such an opinion, anyhow. No case
involving such question was before him,
and the matter came up in another judicial
district presided over by another justice
Justices of the Supreme Court are not in
the habit of rendering such gratuitous
opinions. 1t is beneath the dignity of the
Court to interfere in matters which are not
regularly before it, and in acting as he did
Judge Fort has violated all the best tradi-
tions of the Supreme bench.
That be did as he did for political reasons
and to assist the Republican party out OF
the deep mire, in which it is now founder
rumors that war was made on the Long
Branch gamblers because they refused to
longer furnish the sinews of war to the
Republican party of Monmouth are revived,
Judge Fort can have no one to blame except
himself. Such a rank exhibition of par
tisan zeal on the part of justice OF the
Supreme Court does much to lower that
tribunal in the respect and estimation OF
the people of the State, and ]. Franklin
Fort is the only Judge on the bench who
would be guilty of such an action.
1t also remained for J. Franklin Fort.
ex-political manipulation, to insult fellow
justice of the Supreme Court by sending
out the statement that the other justice
was wrong in his judicial proceedings.
| Justice Hendrickson has decided that the
| Atlantic City saloon-keepers were violating
the law and has issued orders that they
must close up on Sunday. In the same
reckless manner in which he used to give
the lie to his opponents on the hustings or
before the legislature, Mr.. Fort comes for
| ward and declares that Justice Hendrickson
is all wrong, thus treating the State to the
ridiculous spectacle Of one member OF a
Court incontinently and automatically re-
versing another.
j. Frank Fort is a pretty specimen of
| the burdens this State must bear as a result
of the election of Foster M. Voorhees, as
| Governor Jersey City News.

spirit by breaking down the rule of the

The convention was illumined by the cheer

liberty and independence. Not only was
the action of the convention indicative Of
the new spirit which has entered the Vir-

For Governor
HON. THOMAS M. TERRELL
of Gloucester County.

Va H04OuOOStOA OOAASys
[Subjecf to the decision of the Democratic
State Conventional
The County Executive Committee of this
county, at its annual meeting last Saturday,
gave the Democracy of the State candidate
for Governor in the person of Hon. Thomas
NJ. Terrell. In the range of the readers OF
this paper, and the First Congressional
District, and throughout the greater portion
of this State, Mr. Terrell needs no intro
duction. He has represented our county
in both branches of the legislature, the
District in Congress; was Collector OF
internal Revenue for that portion of the
State South of Trenton, and Treasurer OF
the Sinking Fund of the State. An earnest
Democrat, wise and painstaking legislator,
an honest administrator of responsible
financial trust, Gloucester's candidate is
without peer among the names yet pre-
scented for the great Office of Governor OF
our commonwealth.
From point of fitness, then, Gloucester
county's candidate is in equal rank with
any of the names yet presented, and he
is as popular, too, as when he twice swept
the old Second District as an Assembly
candidate, the county as Senatorial candi-
date, and the District as Congressional
candidate. He has always been stronger
than his party, and in the contest fol-
Governor this Fall the party whose can
didate is stronger than the organization
which names him will lead its followers
to victory.
Further, Mr.. Terrell is not the candidate
of any man or select cabal, but the can
didate of the organization of his party
in which he is faithful worker The
action was taken without his knowledge,
and his assent obtained after the fact.
The County Executive Committee OF
Gloucester county, in naming this candi-
date, has taken the initial step to the re-
demption of New Jersey from Republican
rule and the return of Democrats to their
own-placing New Jersey again in the
Democratic column, and it is confidently
anticipated that ere the Democratic hosts
assemble to select their leader, Ferrell's
banner will be waving in every county OF
the State

claim of the strikers that Mrs Fred
Baugh, wife of the superintendent, is
escorting the strike breakers to and

very popular with the mill men, and
the pickets say they would rather
face a regiment of soldiers than do
anything improper in her presence.
They say that in peace times she
