tence of the board of county commits

marked for political Oblivion by the
board of the leaders of the Non-Parti-
san Club. Then follows an apology in
oehalf of the board as to the outlay for
road work.
Who has raised an issue against the
Board OF County Commissioners? Moth
ing has ever been SAID on the subject at
any meeting of the club. The under
signed make no assertion as to the truth
or ialsity of any statements made on
the street. The pertinent fact is that
without charge against anyone the ma
chine has seen fit to rush INTO print with
lame apology.
In regard to newcomers the article
asserts every falrm.nied man among
them knows that he has not been here
long enough to become acquainted with
the conditions and to take an intelligent
stand on either side" The Statutes
of this grand old state give the new
conner welcome and the right of fran
chise within six months. 1t is admitted
that the men coming to this county are
among the most intelligent in the en-
tire country and that even the six
months period is not required for a
working acquaintance with local politi-
ical issues. In this matter as in others
the STANDARD does not, of course, rep.
resent the opinion of the best of the
older residents of the county. Far
otherwise.
There is just one other issue raised
in the article in question which docs the
organization an injustice. THE disci.
pline and defeat OF the oldtimers." is
said to be the real object behind mask
of reform. The undersigned deny this
absolutely. The endorsement of old
time residents as candidates for office
has been spoken of by members of the
club, both in meeting and out, with
commendation for the principle that
the old residents are equally Is desira.

Widow Receives Expressions

PRINCETON, N. j., June "a. AT SAC
this morning, Grover Cleveland, the
last ex-president of the United States,
breathed his last, at his home in this
city, attended by his wife and physi-
clans.
The end came suddenly, although the
distinguished patient had been i'll for
some time, and it was well known that
he could never recover from the affec-
tion of the heart and the weight of
years that was upon him. His physi-
clans. who had been with him during
the night, only recognized the approach
of the grim reaper about three-quarters
of an hour before the end came.
With the passing of Grover Cleveland
there disappears from American polit-
ical life one of its most conspicuous
figures, and, as we ell agree, one of the
country's most remarkable citizens.

lence from all over the world are pour

A Bit of Strategy That Won For the

 When Bishop wnmer was rector Of the little Protestant Episcopal church at Uppervnle, Va.," said Virginia minister, "he was much worried by the nonattendance at service on Sundays of the majority Of the young men oC the community.
