EVERY citizen OF New Jersey is
proud Of the many excellent laws
placed upon her statute books the
past year, and will remember that
they are the work OF a Republican
governor and Republican Senate, Win
the help OF Republicans in the House.
La fact, should any man think over
what has been accomplished in the
last ten years by Republican admins
tration he will be compelled TO admit
That the party has placed the State in
the foremost rank Of progressive com
monwealths, Now we have the idea
advanced that as all these good laws
have been passed and there is no pos
si0iltY Of their repeal the party
Should be turned out OF Office, aud the
Democrats put In, simply because the
latter should have turn Past eX-
perienee does not warrant any suct
procedure Vote for Messrs. Hllery..
Buxton and Lyon and continue the
good work.
