Both are Logical Candidates.
From Newark Truth.


Charles c. Black is the logical candidate
Edward C. Stokes is the logical candidate
This is a logical and educational State
campaign on one single issue-equal tax
alton
Charles c. Black represents equal tax
alton in that all property in the State shall
be taxed equally
Edward G. Stokes represents unequal
taxation in that the great bulk of railroad
property is to he taxed, as now, at less
than one-fourth the rate for all other
property in the State
One candidate stands for equal rights
under the laws.
The other candidate stands for class dis
elimination.
Mr. Black SAYS that the foreign owners
of railroad property in New Jersey shall
be put on equal terms with citizens of the
State under the laws of the State.
Mr. Stokes says that because of some
alleged popularity of railroad property, the
foreign owners of this property shall be
favored by our laws to the extent of paying
only one dollar of tax where the citiz=n
pays four dollars.
The man who believes with Mr.. Stokes
that the foreign owners of railroad prop
erty in New Jersey have Inherent rights to
tax exemptions, which amount to a subsidy
of three million year, will vote for Ed
ward G. Stokes
The man who believes that the laws Of
the State should give equal protection to
all property interests; who cannot concede
that the foreign railroad corporation has
rights superior to those of the individual
citizen, and who rests the fact that he is
compelled to pay four dollars tax where the
1 railroad pays only one dollar of tax, on the
same description and valuation of property
] will vote for Charles G. Black.

No party ever made "a platform and Sc
lected candidate 50 perfectly mated as
the New Jersey Democrats. Mr.. Black is
the man Of all others in the State to lead a
party pledged to correct abuses in tax
alton. Because the convention was in
earnest in its platform it nominated for
Governor the ablest exponent of the senti-

to be very strong candidate, and it is
recognized that even apart from the tax

While Gubernatorial Candidate Edward

While Gubernat0rial Candidate Edward
G. Stokes was assistant Secretary of State
at salary of So, 600 (and drawing pay as
Senator from Cumberland county, he pur-
chased the postage stamps for the Secretary
Of States Office from the postmaster at
Millville, and by such purchase the salary
of the Millville's postmaster was increased
500 per year We quote the following
comment from Tuesdays True American.--
Is it not most deplorable condition that
prominent State official, the successor to
William J. Sewell, and the nominee of his
party for the honorable aud distinguished
position OF Governor of New Jersey, might,
with every propriety, be indicted by the
Federal grand jury for conspiracy to de-
fraud the United States into increasing the
compensation OF the postmaster of Mill
vile, by sales of postage stamps, for use by
the State in the city of Trenton
The United States government grades
the pay OF postmasters by the amount of
stamps sold and other business done in the
office. The stamp sales are supposed, and
expected to be indicative of the amount of
stamps used, or business done in the office.
/ Any postmaster could secure an increase of
OF salary by selling postage stamps to
friendly users outside of the city, or in
paying personal bills for clothing or mer-
chandise with them-some postmasters have
done So and have been dismissed for doing
it-and generally the matter has been sup
! pressed, as being too petty and too nasty to
be unnecessarily exploited In the present
case the petty trickery is exposed upon the
public printed records of the State treas
ury, and the publicity given by the State
Treasurer is the only decent element of an
otherwise wholly disreputabe affair
Mr.. Stokes has never said or done any
thing to indicate a belief that his act was
wholly proper; and therefore, it becomes a
serious question what may be expected
from Governor who, as Deputy Supreme
Court CLERK, sees no impropriety in thimble
rigging an extra hundred salary for a
friendly postmaster, by pretended increase
of business.

One looks with certainty to Camden city
for stuffed ballot boxes; but it great sur
prise to find that the disease has so per-
meated the neighborhood that Camden
manufacturers have been arrested on a
charge of loading compressed cork life pre-
servers with iron rods, so as to bring them
up to the government requirement. of
weight. The government did not mind
the money part of the fraud, so much as
the conversion of life preservers into

New Jersey Republicans are making
desperate, and futile, efforts to prove that
they are the original Jacobs in the mat
ter Of tax reform. They have had pos
session of the State for years They have
steadily refused to listen to complaints to
remedy the inequalities. They refused to
do so as recently as last winter But when
the Democrats put tax reform in their plat
form, and nominated for Governor a man
pre-emnentlv we'll informed on the subject,
then the Republicans proposed different
method of reform, which, of course, they
declared was much better and now they
impudently invite the people of the State
to support the Republican party if they
wish the inequalities of taxation corrected
The Jerseymen will be pretty simple if they
shall be taken in by any such transparent
device. IPhila. Record.
