good humor and his ability was
shown whenever he took the floor to
advocate or oppose a measure. He
won every time.
Elizabeth Times:
AS to platform declarations, again
the machine leaders settled matters.
Equal taxation was left stranded
high and dry, and the limited fran
chise issue brought forth a compro-
mise, on the strength of which the
republican candidates, if successful,
may do just about as they please in
this matter, and still break NJ party
pledges. 1t was different in the DEM
0cratic convention. There + no
evasions in the resolutions adopted
by the democratic delegates. There
is no evidence whatever of the work
of a boss's fine hand and discriminat-
ing views. rhe platform is based
upon the needs of the people, and
the candidates nominated to carry
out the principles which characterize
it are men of the people, unpledged
to any leader, and free to thoroughly
represent the public of Union county.
Newark Advertiser:
About this time in a state cam
paign the democratic newspaper be
| gins its rainbow chasing. The Tren-
ton True American says of the legis-
lative elections with cheerful conf
dence:
democrats will be elected from
Hudson, H%unterdon, Sussex and War
ren-fifteen. Bergen is likely to
elect at least one; the skies. are bright
for three from Monmouth; Somerset
gives promise of one; Salem, one;
Gloucester, one. Passaic is tired of
boss rule. 1t is likely to elect five
democrats. Only four more from
the balance OF the state and the forces
that are tired Of paying for corpora
ton rule can, under the democratic
banner organize the house"
The only reasonably sure counties
for the democrats + Hunterdon,
Sussex and Warren, which have three
members all told. Hudson's twelve
votes, if that county goes democratic,
will make a minority of fifteen.
There is nothing else in sight except
%rainbows.
Trenton Times:
BILLY" Devereux, the native of
Trenton who is running for the as
sembly on the democratic ticket
the man who has helped to make
the Monmouth coast famous as his
campaign literature puts it-has Sc
cured an endorsement from the Rev.
C. H. Yatman, the evangelist, to add
to that secured from Founder Brad
ley. who was a republican senator
from Monmouth from 1894 to 1895.
Evangelist .Yatman writes: Dear
Mr.. Devereux-I wish | lived in Mon
mouth county. You would have both
my voice and vote. though | am a re-
publican. Dear old Jersey needs men
at Trenton of your sound sense and
trenchant power of telling truth. l

congratulations ahead of time" If

Trenton Times:
Sussex county is getting a bad at
tack of the mining fever. A week or
two ago a report was sen out that
new zinc discoveries had been made
near Hamburg, and as the Sussex
county zinc ores are said to be the
purest found in the world. the story
naturally excited considerable inter-
est. Now il is said that a pocket of
coal has been found near Sussex bor-
ough, and traces of copper have also
been discovered. Copper mines were
p%rofitably operated in New Jersey
more than a century ago; discoveries
of coal and slate have often been re-
ported, but prospectors have never
been able to strike the rich veins
which they believe exist; iron ore
has been profitably mined for many
years, and the rich deposits OF zinc
have already been referred to; traces
of gold and silver have been found.
One Of these days some lucky pro-
spector may make a find that will re-
suit in such an invasion of Sussex
county ,ase ,has not been Witnessed in
the east Since the discovery of petrol
eumminaaRannaslvania half a cen Dry
ago. In the meantime the f4rm
lands -insAome sections of the county
are rapidly increasing in vaiue.
