FRIDAY, 20.
THE DEMOCRATIC HARMONY.

Poor old democratic party! She
seems to have gone down to a posi-
ton where her most able sons fail to
recognize her. The ticket in Middle
sex county, at least, is evidently
hopeless and those who pose as lead
ers practically admit that they arc
merely keeping up appearances by
going through the form of nomina-
ting candidates, knowing full well
that they are certain to go down to
overwhelming defeat. 1t is notice
able that the best men of the demo
cratic party are away in the back
ground and when one of them is
dragged forward and placed on a
ticket it is almost looked upon as an
insult and his declination to run is
prompt and most emphatic.
At the present writing the demo-
Gratis have two vacancies, and the
most desirable positions at that, to
fill and no one wants the places. The
search for men for the democratic
ticket in Middlesex reminds us of the
republicans in New York looking for
a candidate for mayor.
The appearance of harmony among
the democrats which so manifested
itself in this city early in the season
has been completely wiped out by
the city convention of that party.
Even the delegates themselves have
nothing good to say for it. Some OF
them we're not sure when the coEven-
ton was to be held. The leaders
were conspicuous by their absence
and the whole affair had the appear.
ance of a farce. The fact that can.
didates we're nominated without be.
ing asked If they wopl1 stand 'o2A.

EDITORIAL COMMENT.

Camden Post-Telegram:
The voting machine is conceded to
be the best safeguard against cleo
ton fraud which the ingenuity TO
man has yet devised, therefore the
opposition of the democrats of Hud-
son to its Introduction in the horse
shoe district" Bob" Davis's strong
hold in Jersey City, and a hot-bed of
election fraud since Abbett's time, is
significant. Their excuse for oppos-
ing the Introduction of the machine
is that there is a large illiterate vote
in the district that will be handicap.
ned in using the machine, especially
in voting a split ticket.
AS the Trenton State Gazette wei
says: "A man who is Intelligent
enough to vote, and if he can reat
the English language he is that in
telligent, is competent to manipulate
the voting machine as ne p%leases."
Let Bob" Davis do as Tammany
did when the voting machine was in.
PRODUCED in New York city, educate
his more ignorant following in the
use of the machine.
The man who isn't intelligent
enough to read a name and pull down
a separate lever when he wants tC

Even Joseph Stricken, who was in

harmony meetings and who seemed
to have taken on the mantle of lead
ership, has apparently given up the
ship. His absence at the city con-
vention was commented upon.
1t is understood that democrats
will confine their efforts to the
Fourth and Sixth wards. There they
have a fighting chance, but, in view
of the Indifference everywhere shown
the party in Middlesex seems DOOM

Asbury Fountain, of Browntown,
head of the Board of Chosen Foun-
tains, which will soon pass out of eX-
istance forever, never gets tired of
banging at Perth Amboy. When
not busy scheming with the rest of
his family, for the management of
county affairs he takes a side thrust
at this city just to see how much
trouble he can make for us.
The latest attempt at this is the
summoning of the members of the
water board to appear at Brown
town to discuss the tax question for
the Runyon pumping station which
belongs to the city and is therefore
municipal property. This is an old
game, but, of course, there is some
annoyance to it in forcing the board
to go over there in the woods and
which may be of some satisfaction.
1t is probable that the city attorney
will tell the water board not to pay
any attention to the summons. That
would serve our friends over the riv-
er just right, wouldn't it, little chill
dren?
