DEMOCRATIC
GU TLOOK.
Newark Sunday Call Sizes Up
the Conditions In This
County This Fall.

The Newark Sunday Call sizes up
the democratic situation in MiddleseX
county this fall as follows, after tell
ing of w. II. c.. Jackson's nominal
ton for state senator by the republi-
cans 1t refers to George S. Silzer and
then goes on to say:
MIR. Silzer, who is a member of
the law firm of Arain, Silzer &
Pearse, of 73S Broad street, Newark,
has for the last ten ears been a strik-
ing figure in Middlesex politics, and
never SO striking as at the present
time, when he has executed acoup
that makes him the only available
candidate in his party for the n
torial nomination. Familiar with the
political situation in both parties in
every nook of Middlesex, by reason
of an extensive legal practice, he
foresaw Fordyce's defeat long before
even the republican machine was
through feeling uneasy. Then he bold
ly announced his platform, in which
he had placed practically all of the
new ideas" of Colby and Fordyce.
He made no mention of old democrat
ic doctrines, but confined himself to
the correction of existing evils. He
declared that the new county boards
of taxation are useless and should, il
allowed to exist at all, be elected by
the people, and not named by the
governor. He declared that the state
board of arbitration should be abol-
ished. He also demands the election
of assemblymen by districts and de-
clares for election of United States
senators by direct popular vote, linn
tied franchises and equal taxation,
according to the Colby plan.
with this platform Silzer will
stand in a position to ask for the re
publican votes that were cast last
Tuesday for Colonel Fordyce. If
these republicans believe the Fordyce
assertion that Jackson stands for
bossism and corporate domination OF
politics, they can hardly reconcile a
vote for jackson against Silzer with
their own con~sciences, unless they
convince themselves hat Silzer is in
sincere in his declaration. Silzer is
not even a corporation lawyer, but
has an extensive and profitable prac-
tice largely confined to damage suits
against corporations by individuals,
in which he has been remarkably sue
cessful in getting large verdicts.
~ ""He has fought several battles for
the old democratic machine in this
county, but has never been subservi-
ent to it, at least not openly. 1t is
we'll known that he has several times
declined an assembly nomination
when victory seemed quite certain,
because there were too many strings
fast to it.
in fact, Mr.. Silzer's frequent ex-
hibitions of independence are likely
to cause him trouble this fall, because
certain sections of the old machine,
now SO humbled that it had to stand
out of the way and give him a clear
field, are likely to be lukewarm in the
approaching campaign. Many Of
them would rather e the party de-
feated by Jackson than be victorious
underuSilzer. At least one prominent
democrat worked at the primary last
Tuesdayifer Jackson. :

Election Next Tuesday

Before the COURIER is issued
again the regular Congressional
Election for 1906 will be over.
In Virginia the only offices to be
filled are those of members of Con-
gress, and the Democrats hope to
oust Colonel Slemp in the Ninth
district and send solid delegation
to Washington.
The greatest fight of the year
IS in New York, where all Of the
State officers will be chosen. The
magnificent fight being made by
Hearst against Hughes has excited
the admiration of thousands out
side of the Empire State, and it is
now believed that Hearst will be
elected by more than 100000, al
though the Wall street betting is 2
to | against Mr.. Hearst.
If Hearst receives a majority of
the votes cast in New York. 1t is
practically certain that he will be
the next Presidential nominee on
the Democratic ticket.

Mrs. VI. J. Coke to Mrs. +. NJ.

The lot is improved by stable
and other outbuildings. and has a
handsome stone fence along the

No announcement has been made

Why should the Norfolk & West
ern Railway erect a new. modern
and convenient depot at Berryvilleg
There are about thousand good
reasons, and a few of them are
Because separate rooms should
be set aside for colored people.
Because the receipts from all
sources at the Berryville depot
compare very fayorably with any
other station between Hagerstown
and Roanoke, although there are
larger stations than BerryvilIe and
more commodious depots than this
one, between the points named.
Because the present station is a
dirty, ill-smelling, badly-ventilated
little hovel; and has absolutely no
provision for the reception of ladies'
or children. with the present
lighting facilities of Berryville
streets, and the present condition
of the depot here, would you care
to have any of your wOmen-folks
walk up the streets here from the
20 clock train, or sit in the station
and await daylightl Which would
you prefer0
Because there is no toilet or retir-
ing rooms for the ladies at the Bcr-
ryvilledepot. even though common
fairness and courtesy should de-
mand it.
Because the people of Bcrryville
and vicinity are decent, seIfrespect-
ing, law-abiding people.
Because. heretofore, and at pres
ent, the facilities offered for the
convenience of the public are gross
Iy Inadequate.
If there is anything else that we
can say that will hurry the railroad
company up, and induce them to
construct a modern depot here, we
will be glad to say it if someone
will suggest it.
