Washington Herald.
Gen. Gordon's farewell speech in
the United States Senate, which was
printed in full in the Washington
Herald recently, has awakened>a re-
sponsiye chord all over the Union.
From North, South, East and West
come favorable comments, and the
sentiment expressed by the aged Mis-
sissippian has found lodgment in the
hearts of millions who had not given
| the subject serious thought until it
was SO patriotically presented in the
halls OF Congress.
The League OF Republican Clubs Of
New Y ork at a recent meeting adopted
resolutions for the memorializing Of
the sentiment expressed by General
Gordon, and committee was ap-
pointed to devise ways and means
for putting into permanent form the
noble thoughts of the aged Senator.
The league proposes "to commemo-
rate his patriotic appeal and fulfill
his hearts desire by undertaking to
organize memorial committee, with
the intent to provide for the erection
| OF monumental tablet at the most
| suitable location on Mason and
Dixon's line, not as bipartisan or sec
tional offering, but as a contribu-
tion from every sympathetic Ameri-
| can"
The cooperation OF the governors
OF all the States will be asked for the
purpose of enlisting aid and inviting
contributions to fund to be used in
the erection of a suitable memorial
in conformity with the sentiment ex-
pressed by General Gordon
At the time of the Spanish-Ameri-
can war the line OF demarcation be-
tween he North and South was al
most imperceptible, but children are
still taught the meaning of Mason
and Dixon's line. There is no longer
occasion for this. General Gordon
stated in more explicit language and
in q more rugged way than any other
speaker had ever done the PROPOSE
tion of a united nation. Statesmen
would do we'll to note the effect o
this speech and realize present condi
tions as contrasted to those of even
a decade ago.
The problem OF the South must be
worked out in the South, but the
North no longer in cool aloofness, il
ready to offer aid and extend en-.
couragement. The same holds true ol
the Southerner in his relation to
Nothern affairs. Parties are not
now divided on sectional lines. Com.
mercialism. philanthropy, and the
national welfare find no sectional
lines. Ours is one nation, and this
fact is fully realized. Nevertheless
the project of the League of Republi
Can Clubs ispromoted by a fine spirit
and will no doubt receive the support
it deserves.

MASON STILL
IN THE RACE
Raritan Township Scrap
Alarms the Democrats Of
Monmouth County.


Keyport, Sept. 12:-It now ap-
pears certain that the democratic
party in Monmouth county has
gotten together" and viii weather
the factional primary storm which
threatened to engulf 1t, and, better
still. will now put up a'united front
to the republicans.
The matter which caused sc much
anxiety to the party leaders was the
Raritan freebooter scrap. John Carr
wanted the democratic nomination
for freeholder, as did also John w.
Mason. Both are from Raritan
township. Carr was backed by Dick
Brown, of Keyport, and Mason by
ex-Sherif Bogardus. Both Carr and
Mason are recognized as good men
and good democrats, and there was
no personal bitterness between them,
There Is, however, a personal feel,
ing between Brown and Bogardus.
Both the latter we're preparing for a
desperate battle in Tuesdays pri-
mary. They were carrying the war
into adjoining townships. Great bit
terness was threatened, which would
have je~opardized the ticket in No
yember had either Carr or Mason
secured the nomination.
A meeting of representative dem
ocrats was called at Belmar last
week to consider the situation. All
viewed the Raritan war clouds with
alarm, as threatening party success
at a time when it was important for
democrats to have no fights among
themselves. Certain interests antag-
onistic to democratic success were
doing their best to foment the Rari,
ar strife and to saddle the party
with the local option Humpty Dump
ty.
At Belmar it was reported Mason
would withdraw il Carr would with
draw likewise. Carr was called by
phone and refused to withdraw un-
der any circumstances. A committee
of three was then appointed to con
fer with, the two factions, present
the situation to them fairly, and
endeavor to get them to agree or
one or the other candidate, or, fail
ing in that, for both to withdraw in
the interest OF party harmony. They
got Carr to withdraw and thought
that they had persuaded Mason tc
do SO, but it has since developed
that he is still in the field and will
try to beat Charles M. Wyckoff, who
with Messrs. DAILY, Corlies. Thomp.
son and Jeffries, is slated for nomi-
nation.
All Of the assembly candidates
have declared themselves against
local option except Messrs. Bennett
and Curchin. The leaders favor tina
course and say that ven local op,
tionists admit that just now In New
Jersey there are issues to be decid'
ed far more important than loea,
option. 1t is said the democrats will
adopt this year the shortest and
strongest platform they have ever
had. 1t will contain but four words
it is stated, and be nothing more MOI
less than one of the Ten Command,
ments.
