Prominent Citizens in the Case.

A great deal of interest has been
created by the announcement that a
prominent citizen would be tried in
public for the alleged larceny of Ply
mouth Rock rooster and many have
been the conjectures as to whom the
accused might be.
OF course it is understood that it is
a Mock Court Trial, which hinges on
the alleged larceny of a rooster. Mr..
J. y. Conoyer is the complainant. He
is supposed to have owned the rooster.
DR.. W. H. Hepburn is white man,
vet he is accused of lifting the rooster
and making way with it in some man.

Judge J. Clarence Conover will sit
upon the judicial bench and it will
need be sat on by somebody to hold il
down during the roars of laughter that
will sweep over the court room. In

laugh and applaud. but the rules will
be suspended on this occasion.

The Two Tickets.

The Republicans and Democrats
have put their tickets in the field and
it is up to the voters to make choice
between them. Personal com parsons
would be of no advantage to either
side. Because a man happens to be
a Republican does not make him a
saint, nor does being a Democrat
make q sinner.
The strongest claim. probably, that
the Republicans can put forth is that
their ticket for county commissioners
is more representative one than the
ticket of the Democrats 1t combines
better the shore and farming interests
of the county and gives better consid.
GRAFTON to the claims of all parts OF
the county. The taking up of men
who were not identified with the
board voted out of Office is also in line
with public sentiment.
We are not so blinded by political
perjudice that we can see no good ex.
cept in one party. Red Bank has q
candidate for county commissioner 10
the person of Jacob G. Shuts,
who is running on the Democratic
ticket. To say that Mr.. Shuts has
not made a good freebooter for Shrews-
bury township would be an insult to
peoples intelligence.
This selection is fortunate also in
the selection of William B. Conover
as a candidate for commissioner on
the Republican ticket. While Mr..
Conover lives in Middletown town.
ship, he has interests in Red Bank
and would no doubt be as jealous of
Shire wsbury's interests as he would of
Middletown.
1t is predicted that Mr.. Conover
will receive the lagest majority ever
given a candidate in Middletown
township. Some estimate his ma
jority as high as 500.
In the event of Republican success
this section will also have an able rep
resentative in the assembly in the
person of Frank J. Manson, Mr.. Man
son has lived in Red Bank all his life.
His character Is beyond reproach, 1t
will compare quite favorably, we
think, with that of James Steen, If
Mr.. Manson will pardon the compari-
son. From what we know of Red
Bankers we believe they will express
their opinion of Mr.. Manson's tradu

How About "FosterviIIe?

Ii may be there is nothing in a
name, but the good people of Atlantic
Highlands feel themselves so serious
handicapped tn the matter of munic
ipal cognomen that the entire pop
ulation is seriously delving into an
Gent and modern appellations with
view to select more euphonious
designation for this pretty resort.
The contest is all the mere exciting be-
cause it is melted by reward of SO
for the best name and one that can be
legally adopted. We wish good luck
to Atlantic Highlands in its whole
some effort TO escape from the oppres-
sive nomenclature of crude SAYS when
euphony was sacrificed in the interests
of hard commercialism.
Although something of an outsider
we would suggest that Atlantic High
lands be called Fosterville in honor
of its most eminent citizen. the Hon
orable Judge John E. Foster.-As

The Assembly Nominees.

In the nomination of t. Nelson Lii
lagore of Ocean Grove for the gen.
eral assembly, the Grand Old Party
has selected the strongest candidate
in the county-a man whom the
whole people can vote for with the
conviction that he will do his full duty
without fear or favor. Although al
ways a Jealous Republican whose
voice has ever been sought in party
councils, he has been identified with
no faction and so has a host offriends
throughout the county who will roll
up big majority for him on election
day.
Mr.. Lillagore has many qualities
which peculiarly fit him for the posi-
ton of representative to the general
assembly. He is good business
man, well-educated, learned in the
law, schooled in municipal affairs,
familiar with the history and princi-
pies of Republicanism and an orator
whose influence in legislative affairs
would be great. His colleagues, Frank
]. Manson of Shrewsbury and |. b.
Dawson of Manalapan are also able
men. The election OF the Republican
nominees will secure adequate repre-
sentation of Monmouth county in
New Jersey legislative halls. Vote
for Messrs. Lillagore Manson and
Dayison.-Ocean Grove Times.

Mr.. Remington Installed.

The installation of Rev. Arthur W.
Remington as pastor of the Freehold
Presbyterian church. took place We'd
nesday evening in the presence Of q
large audience.
Rev. H. K. Fulton of Perrineville,
moderator of the Presbytery Of Mon
mouth, presided, announced the pro-
ceedings of Presbytery and PROFOUND
ed the constitutional questions to pas
tor and people. A large choir led the
singing and also sang a beautiful an
them
The sermon was preached by Rev.
E. Trumbull Lee, d. d. L. L. D., of
Philadelphia. whose text was taken
from John 80. The speak er showed
that believers are, by adoption, sons
OF God, and that they are to grow in
likeness of the Son of God, both here
and hereafter. The sermon was an
eloquent exposition of divine truth
and inspiring to all those who seek to
live better life and strive for lofty
ideals as represented in the religion of
Jesus Christ.
Rev. William P. Finney. of Morris
town, gave the charge to the pastor.
In the genial and captivating manner
for which Mr.. Finney is noted, he
called the pastors attention to the
number of times that their paths in
the ministry had touched; and now
that they had again met be felt that
at no former time had the occasion
been more suspicious than was this
one. He then described in few well
chosen words the duties of a pastor
toward his people: closing with the
fervent wish that he might be blessed
with large success in his new field
The charge to the people was next
given by Rev. Frank K. Symmes, of
Tennent. He presented six proposi-
tions, basing his remarks upon six
propositions, to which he prefxed
verbs which gave them strong signif-
icance, and which would help the
pastor to successful work if care
fully followed by his people. Mr..
Symmes has twice acted as moderator
of the session of this church in the
absence of the pastor He has been
very careful and faithful in the per-
Torrance of the duties required of
him by Presbytery, and referred in
passing to thegood feeling and courte-
sy always shown him in the per-
forma nee of the work imposed upon
him.
Rev. Theodore h. Bayles OF the Re
formed church made an address, of
welcome. Coming as he did at a late
hour in the program. his words were
necessarily brief, but none the less
fitting and sincere.
The benediction was pronounced by
the new pastor, which closed the pro-
gram of the evening. AT the close
Mr. Remington, standing in front of
the pulpit received the right hand of
reception and regard from those pres
ent.
Mr.. Remington came to Freehold q
year ago and supplied the pulpit dnr-
ing the absence of Dr. Fox in Ari-
zona His pulpit and pastoral work
were very acceptable throughout, and
upon the subsequent resignation of
DR.. Fox, the Congregation was so
we'll pleased with his services that
they united in giving him unani-
nous call to serve as their per manent
pastor. Mr. Remi ngton begins his
regular work in Freehold with bright
prospects for a long and successful
passionate.

AssembIyman Warren Out.

At the Ocean county Republican
convention at Toms River Friday,
Samuel S. Taylor of Lakewood was
unanimously nominated for assembly.
The present assemblyman, Captain
George O. Warren of Barnegat, who
was elected last year as an indepen-
dent Republican, has a petition out
with II view of running for assembly
OF, the Democratic ticket.
The platform adopted favors the en-
forcement of the anti-bribery law, fay-
ors popular vote for United States sem
ator, opposes contributions to cam
paigns by corporations and the sale of
riparian lands. To aid in enforcing the
anti-briberv law this committee Was
named to cooperate with Democratic

Presbyterians to Meet.

Presbyterians in New Jersey are
deeply interested in the eighty-fourth
annual Synod, which will be opened
next Monday in the First Presbyter-
ian Church, Asbury Park. of which
Rev. John Leroy Taylor is pastor. It
is expected that 800 ministers, Sc ED
ers and 10 corresponding members, or
a total of 18S delegates, will take
part in the Synod. of which Rev
George Swain, pastor of the Presby-
terrain Church at Allentown, is the
present Moderator.
In all probability the Moderator for
the coming Synod will be selected
from the Elizabeth Presbytery. In
Guiding the new Presbytery at Ha-
vana, there are now ten in the Synod
The others are Corsica, West Africa.
Eliza beth, Jersey CITY, Monmouth.
Morris and Orange, Newark, New
Brunswick, Newton and West Jer-
sey.
Not the least important feature of
the Synod will be the action Likely to
be taken toward observing the 200th
anniversary of the organization of
the first Presbytery Ia America 1t is
expected that the Synod will set apart
special time for this notable OBJ
servance, which on account of its an
tiquity and historic association. will
be held in the Old Tennent Church,
of Monmouth county, near the Mon
mouth battle ground.
The Presbyterians of New Jersey
now have 7S,024, as against IA 7S6
members reported by last years sta
tistics-a result attributed in large
measure to the stirring revivals con-
Quoted last winter by DIR. J. Wilbur
Chapman. The coming convention
will be the eighth annual held in As
bury Park, the gatherings extending
over period since 1881.
The officers of the Synod are: Rev.
George Swain, Moderator; Rev. Fred
erick E. Stockson, of Beverley. Vice
Moderator; Rev. John 7. Kerr. OF
Elizabeth, recording clerk; Rev.
Eben N. Cobb, of Elizabeth, treasur-
er, and Rev. William P. Stevenson, OF
Roselle, treasurer of the SynodiSal
Home Missions.

Bribery Charges Fall Flat.

The cause of good government does
not seem TO have been advanced to
any great extent by the spectacle
James Steen has made of himself in
the bribery against John s. Apple
gate. Jr., and Frank j. Manson of
Red Bank.
In the first place Mr.. Steen was un-
fortunate in his selection of the per-
son to make SO serious charge
against reputable citizens and he
seems to have been unduly anxious
to have this man make an affidavit
alleging bribery. When called before
the grand jury this man, according to
his own evidence. repudiated entirely
the affidavit upon which the arrests
were based. He denies under oath
that he saw any bribery on primary
day and he further affirms that he SO
informed Mr.. Steen at the conclusion
of his days Ia bors. The most serious
charge of all is that the affidavit was
filed in after the witness affixed his
name TO it.
There are a number of things in
connection with this bribery charge
that will strike the average citizen as
very peculiar. F. w. Hopes appar-
ent anxiety, for instance, to have
John S. Applegate, Jr.. enmeshed in
bribery net, does not seem to have
been aimed solely at the cause of good
government. 1t savors good deal
of personal interest.
No good citizen favors bribery or
bribers There are lower depths,
however, to which men NAV fall.
They may, for example, attempt to
hlacken the character of reDuta BILE
citizens on the flimziest kind of evil
dence. The wonder is that men who
stoop so low can have the hardihood
to hold their heads in decent society.
Let the cause of good government
in Monmouth county go on, but don't
let it be used to bolster up the cause
of a discredited political party.-Reo
Bank Standard.
