About o'clock we heard the report
of one Of our Windsor rifles at or near
the farther end of the bridge, and this
report kept up as fast as lively sol.

recognized the gun and, as the en-.

entire line opened fire on the opposite
shore, avoiding sending their bullets
too near the bridge.

SHERMAN AS A oAMpAIGNER.

Vice President Sherman came
into New Jersey Wednesday night to
help elect a Republican congress
man In the first district as a suc-
cessor to the late Henry @. Louden-
slayer. 1t seems Vice President
Sherman is a great defender OF the
wool schedule In the tariff law. He
has made a study Of this and likes
to illustrate 1t by the clothing he
wears and through other practical
illustrations.
The story is told that when Sher-
man was a candidate for congress In
New York state, In 1892, he appear
cd In a town in his district wearing
q 81 suit of clothes. He declared
that 1t was good enough suit to
wear and there was no reason why
the tariff should be reduced. He
made plain, however, that he had
just bought the suit that day. eyi-
IDENTIFY intending to show that
clothes were as cheap at that time
as ever before. While Mr.. Sherman
was proud of his appearance that
night It would be interesting to see
him In that same suit after he had
been wearing 1T for two or three
weeks and after 1t had been through
a shower or two. While it is still
possible. perhaps. to buy q suit of
clothes for 81 we do not believe any
body would care to make a public
speech In them after they have been
used for q short time.
1t seems that In his Camden
speech MIR. Sherman laid great
stress on the fact that the clothes
he wore were made In New Jersey
and that he had followed their pro-
cess of making through the mill
from the raw wool to the finished
fabric. He then placed the goods
In a tailor's hands and wore the
suit before his Camden audience.
It IL reported. however. that when
the clothes were finished they cost
him $40. Wonder how the vice
president explained the difference in
the cost Of his clothing. Incidentally.
the fact that 1t has been found neces-
sary to bring the vice president Of
the United States into such a Re-
publican stronghold as Camden to
speak for the Republican candidate
for congress is very significant. 1t
proves that the Republican leaders
are thoroughly alarmed at the out
look, and the greatest effort possible
is being put forward to save the
day.

AUGUST G. sTREITWoLF.

There is one man running on
the Democratic ticket for assem-
bly, this fall whose election means
more than all the rest put to-
gether. We refer to August q.
Streitwolf. He is the only one of
the Middlesex trio that served in
the legislature last year who is a
candidate for reelection. His rec
ord while at Trenton is like an
open book. He is the n man
who positively refused to be de-
iivered when the Middlesex
Democratic leaders were trying
to line up the assembly delega-
tion from this county to vote for
James Smith, Jr., for United
c.@sSs Senator. Because of his
refusal to get in line for Smith
he won the displeasure Of the
Middlesex leaders who had prom
ised the Newark man the vote
from this county.
It il not necessary to 90 into
details regarding the feelings be-
tween Mr.. Streitwalf and his
party leaders in this county as a
result Of his action in this re-
card. 1t is enough to know that
the leaders are expressing abso-
lutte confidence in electing the
whole Democratic ticket with the
noss;bfe execution OF Streitwolf
whom. they say. may have a hard
time to pull through.
But why should streitwoIf
