The Mount Holly news. [volume] (Mount Holly, Burlington Co., N.J.) 1891-1942, 1905-09-19

THE Republicans of Burlington county
have named the ticket that will be elected
in November. The conventions held on
Saturday were enthusiastic and harmon
ious. full of good natured strife, and with
out any bad feelings after the business
had been completed.
For Sheriff they named citizen of Bur-
lington whose name has been prominently
before the public In connection with the
office for the past three years. John ]
Norcross has made good fight for the
position and has deservedly landed the
prize which came to him on SATURDAY..
There is no reason for any one to withhold
from him the fullest support. He has
been in public life for long time, being
the representative of Burlington city in
the Board of Freeholders As Colonel
Cline said in nominating him, ''his char
acter has been open to investigation for
three years. the searchlight of public in
spection has been upon him, and he has
stood the test without a spot or blemish
being shown" In all the contest for the
nomination, which has been earnestly
fought by the other candidates and their
friends. nothing has been brought to notice
to show that Mr.. Norcross is in any way
untitled for the Office of Sheriff.
For Assembly Samuel X. Robbins has
been accorded the usual compliment of a
denomination. compliment well earned
and thoroughly deserved, not only be-
cause the man is all that can be desired.
but also because the official has shown
himself faithful and efficient, worthy
representative of the people.
A new nominee is John B. Trick. of
Southampton. who will be Mr.. Robbins
running mate In this race There is no
need to introduce Mr.. Trick. A life long
resident of this neighborhood, descendant
of one of the most prominent and re-
spected families of Burlington county.
he has been honored In his first request
for public recognition of high order.
He has filled minor offices for his township
to the satisfaction of all. and this is the
first time he has stepped outside of his
town to seek honor. The delegates needed
his request and the voters will see that the
action of the convention will be ratified in
substantial manner.
William w. Worrell is. once more the
nominee for the Office of County Auditor.
There was an attempt to give him a little
uneasiness by offering another name for
the office. but the people would not have
it that way. He has made good officer,
and, as everybody knows, has been fear
less and impartial in the discharge of his
duty. His denomination is a just reward
for the way in which he has guarded the
interests of the county, without consider
ing the result upon his own chances for
success. He is a model officer, Just the
kind of man to keep in the harness as
long as he will serve
William G. Bishop, of Pemberton, is one
of the candidates for Coroner He is a
young man who has made for himself a
good name and whose ability to fill the
office he seeks is beyond dispute. DR.. j.
D, Janney of Cinnaminson, is the other
nominee. He has filled the office before
and has never brought reproach upon it,
There is still one candidate of whom we
have not spoken favorably. He is George
F. Harbert, Steward of the Almshouse,
who was again nominated for that office.
THE News has made statements regarding
this official that have not been contradicted
and in support of which the figures were
given. They are as true now as then.
To retract them would be to stultify our
selves. This we will not do. The party has
nominated him and must be responsible
for the act
