The RECENT election was SO close
In some sections of this State that re-
counts have been applied for. One of the
most interesting is in Monmouth county,
where the Democratic candidate for Sher-
i'll claims to be able to show there were
fraud and irregularities sufficient to give
him the office. The campaign in Mon
mouth for the Office of Sheriff was one
OF the most holly contested ever seen in
that locality. G. Asa Francis was the
Republican candidate. and his previous
record was such that it caused the good
people to rise up against him. The news
papers all over the State denounced him
and declared his unfitness for the office.
This Asa said was villification and mis-
representation, and with that swelled up
attitude he SO well knows how to assume
he decided to get such a majority as
would put his traducers to the woods.
But how things do change. When the Of
hcial vote was canvassed it was found
that the ABUSED" little man was away
behind his ticket to the tune of nearly
$500 votes. and instead of going in on a
wave of popular approval he had ma
jority of less than so. and it is said the re
count will cut that down. If it should
result in decision that Asa is to remain
In the office of Sheriff, he will have had a
lesson which to man with any fine
sensibilities would be most humiliating,
but In all probability Asa's high hat will
fit him just the same.

BURLINGTON CoUNTY's solicitor, Charles
Evan Merritt, has great reason to feel
gratified over the result of a suit brought
in the Supreme Court of this state, where
in the opinion of Mr.. Merritt was sus-
tanned. /. Snowden Haines, of Burling-
ton, appealed from the assessment of ten
per cent. made against the owners of pro-
perty along the new stone road between
Burlington and Columbus. The basis of
the appeal was that law recently passed
provided that such assessments could not
be levied on the property owners and fur
Their provision was made that all laws in
consistent, ETC., were repealed. The pro-
perty owners in question contended that
the repeater released them, but Mr.. Mer-
ritt held that. the road having been begun
under the law which compelled assess
ments, payment could not be avoided. In
this contention he stood almost alone.
against him being many lawyers in the
upper portion of the state. But the Su.
preme Court has decided that solicitor
Merritt is correct, and unless a further
appeal is taken, the assessments must be
paid The Importance of this sdecision to
this county may be seen when it is known
that over $4,000 will be saved to our
treasury, which amount would not have
been collectible had the court decreed
