Rendered "The Heart Bowed Down.
After Horace Greeley Was Noni-
mated by the Liberal Republican
Convention in 1872.

One of the men who took very
prominent part In the organization of
the famous Liberal Republican party
movement of the early seventies,
which instantly went to pieces follow
ing Greeley's defeat for president by
General Grant, running for reelection
in 1872, was the late Samuel Bowles,

death in 1878 powerful editorial in

with him in the task of organizing
the Liberal Republican party were
three other famous editors, the late
Murat Halstead, Henry Watterson and
the late Carl Schurz, then United
States senator from Missouri
These four men were prominent
members of the national convention
of the Liberal Republicans, held in
Cincinnati in 1872. But not one of
them had planned for Mr. Greeley's
nomination. Their candidate was
Charles Francis Adams of Boston. Yet,
brilliant editors though they were.

Oyster Outlook Good.

Trenton The season for dredging
oysters in great Maurice river cove is
now on and in full force, yielding
splendid results according to reports
to the bureau of shell fisheries. The
oysters are large, fat and abundant,

gratified with the outlook for a pros
porous season. The modified order
of the government pure food commits

Jersey are permitted to continue to
fatten their oysters in brackish water
places the planters in much better
attitude toward the consuming pub
lie. "The truth is that there was new
err any real necessity for the original
order against the fattening process in
New Jersey" said Chief Bacon. 3'be-
cause there was no serious contamin-
