"Who is Seymour %


The Ecening Neacs of Newark, although
partisanly Republican, felt called on last
Friday, by regard for public sentiment and
common sense, to notice and denounce the
big, blsck-typed editorial of the Trenton
organ of its party 1.-THE State Gazette of the
preceding day, under the above heading
This notice (ssys the Neacs) is demanded,
mot because of the force and cogency OF
the State Gdzette's reasoning, but because Of
it's inexcusable Misrepresentation and posi-
tive mendacity, in attempting to answer its
own question
from the Trenton State Gazette.
stThe nomination of James NJ. Seymour
for Governor has thrown on the hands of
the Democrats a man whose Publications
for the Office are unknown and who is a
stranger to them.
s'The question, Who is SEYMOUR is
frequently asked, and it is hard matter to
find a man south of Union county who
knows anything about him beyond the fact
that he is Mayor of Newark and was elected
to the position in spite of the opposition Of
James Smith, Jr.
sfMr Seymour has never been State
character. Several years ago he was en-
ployed as deputy keeper of the State Prison,
We believe, but beyond that has never been
known in public service OF political contest
outside the county of Essex"
[From the Newark Evening Newsl
'sIt is not easy to decide whether such
stuff as the above should be ascribed to
ignorance, idiocy or stupid partisanship.
The editor of Trenton newspaper who
believes that Mr.. Seymour was once
deputy keeper of the State Prison, and who
asserts that he is unknown below Union
county, is quite capable of believing any
thing. II the managers of the Republican
party are wise they will promptly put an
end to drivel of this sort, which is an insult
to intelligent voters
aMr. Seymour was for several years con-
nected with the State Prison, but not as
deputy keeper. He was the Supervisor Of
that institution, the Office now filled by
Edward j. Anderson. formerly State Comp
troller and now and for many years mem
Der of the Republican State Committee.
For seven years Mr.. Seymour has been a
member of the State Board of Education
to which position he was appointed by
Governor WertS. He is now serving his
third term as Mayor of the largest city in
the State, and for four years at least the
newspapers Of the State have made his
name familiar in every corner of the COM
monwealth from Sussex to Cape May. He
is known personally to all the leading men
of both parties, and by reputation to the
thousands who seldom come in contact with
public men save as they meet them upon
the stump or at functions of public char
acter.
IA sufficient answer to the charge that
Mr.. Seymour is unknown outside of Essex
and the surrounding counties is the practi-
cal unanimity with which his nomination
was demanded by the Democrats in every
part Of the State. Such spontaniety of
sentiment does not manifest itself in behalf
Of an unknown or obscure candidate. /"

CURED OF ASTHMA.
After IS Years of Suffering.

It will be gratifying to Ashmatic read
ers to learn that an absolute cure has at
last been discovered by DIR. Rudolph
Schifmann. That the remedy is an ef-
fectual one cannot be doubted after per-
usal of such testimony as that of c. w.
Van Antwerp, Fulton, N. Y, who says
'sYour remedy, (Schiffman's Asthma Cure)
is the best ever used. / bought pack
age of our druggist and tried it and one
box entirely cured me of asthma, and
have not had it since. / can now go to

wonderful virtues

Bowman S. Cox,

The Democratic nominee for Assembly is
probably known to 80 per cent. of the
voters of this county, hence needs no in
PRODUCTION or eulogy at our hands. He is
the junior member of the widely known
firm of l. G. Cox & Bro, wagon makers at
Paulsboro. Every farmer knowns what
staunch, honest goods this firm has placed
on the market, because you will find Cox
wagon, or cart, or carriage in every farm
yard in the counties of Gloucester and
Camden, and on half of the farms Of the
counties of Burlington, Salem and Cumber-
land.
Of strong intellect, upright honest char
acter, possessing the courage of his con-
victions, familiar with the county, the
people and their needs, Bowman S. Cox s
nomination is an ideal one; his candidacy
will appeal to men in every walk in life,
farmers, laborers, merchants and manu-
facturers.
Bowman S. Cox should be elected, not
withstanding the adverse political majority
that confronts him.
