SOUTH AMBOY, Nov. 4:-People
here are wondering how much stock
should be taken in the platform an
nonnced by William H. Quackenboss,
democratic candidate for sheriff,
which he has sent out by circular let
ter TO the voters of the county and
which ne has stated in every speech
he has made.
In this platform the democratic
candidote states as follows:
Il shall not spend one dollar,
either directly or indirectly, for the
purchase of votes, nor shall | allow
others to spend one dollar, directly
or indirectly, in my behalf, for such
purpose.
On the day Mr., Quackenboss made
Q tour of this borough it is stated on
reliable authority that $3.50 was
given every gang boss on the docks
for the purpose of buying a keg of
beer for the men under them. Mr.
Quackenboss is not directly accused
of giving this money, but the fact
that it was handed out at such time
and under such circumstances leads
many here to ridicule the platform
