blunder as was enacted at Hacken-
sack on the night of August 22d No
one will assume to deny that the
ex-senator from Bergen is the real
leader of the regular wing of the Re-
publican party of the county. His.
leadership has been long ago adj
mitted Whatever he says must go,
regardless of whatever anyone else
may think. His attitude is not ex-
actly that of boss, but he is so wise
that it is the next thing to it. 1t is
said that he resents being called
boss He has drawn upon the ideals
the practical side appeals to him.
Senator Wakelee has done many

law abolishing conventions was the
essence of weakness in the abstract.
Had the convention not made nomi
nations it could have been called a
conference. The primary law takes
care of the nominations. 1t is Won
der that the ex-senator and all-the
time leader did not recognize this.
Here we have the Democrats follow
ing the Republicans at a real confer
ence, living up to the spirit of the
primary law, and thus going before
the voters on tenable platform free
from platitudes and giving the voter
the right to do his own thinking.
The Republican claim that the
Democratic conference did not dare
put out candidates is wrong, They
did not dare to dare, and therefore
they did not blunder. The Hinner's
investigation may be considered a
frost, but that had nothing to do with
the attitude of the conference. This
is a thinking era, and the Republican
position in Bergen is open for attack.
The progressive wing of the Repub
licans appears to be travelling along
far Saner grounds.

THE BOROUGH AUDIT.

The finding of the special account
ants appointed some months ago by
the borough of Fort Lee for the pur-
pose of investigating the borough
books and accounts, was received in
open council meeting on August 23d,
and generally with satisfaction up
there. The report was about what
was to have been expected
There was some criticism of GER
tain borough officials but no graft
was limited at. 1t is not to be
supposed for moment that there
could be graft in the ranks of
the non-salaried officers who have
managed the borough affairs without
any sort of compensation. The trou-
bic has been with the system
rather than with the men, Some sort
Of commission form of government
would be far preferable to the slip
shod method which the auditors ad-
init has been the rule in some direc-
tons. These methods have been per-
mitted merely because those in office
who have poor knowledge of how
to do things are men of local habi-
tatlon-that is, they are all known
and favored merely because they are
i'll Office and they hate to turn them
out. If anything could be worse than
Assessor Mallon's lack of system, it
would be hard to find His case is
more plteable than anything else. He
simply does not know how, and
should never have been retained in
office after his ineficiency was known
and established, regardless of how
much he needed the salary. This is
one of the palpable cases of borough
neglect, and perhaps the most flag
rant one before the public gaze.
There is no need to place men in
office through sympathy who do not
know the first principles of borough
affairs, or much of anything else.
If there had been graft of any kind
found, it is to be presumed that the
auditors would have made mention of
it, because they did not mince any
words in offering the criticism they
did. 1t is gratifying to know that
everything is as they report, though
the accuracy of the auditors methods
in finding the balance on hand of
$4,000 last December has been dis
puted. But now that it is all over,
the public will feel relieved The
question is, will Fort Lee overlook
what they have SO persistently
insisted was an affront? AS was
pointed out by "The Palisadian"
in the face of very mixed financial
statement put out by the borough, it
was no more than right that the in
vestigation be ordered The only
thing to be regretted is that the means
of getting at it was not different.

Leonard T. Carney. in reply to T. p.
Marsh's communication Of Tuesday,
relative to the county Judge system OF
the early days of this county, today
defends the data that was made the
basis for his paper before a recent
meeting Of the Historical Society of
Marshall County. Mr.. Carney de-
clares that in his paper he was at
tempting to show the viciousness of
the institution, and had no criticism of
any individual who may have held the
office; furthermore that his paper
dealt with the system only from 1851
to 1861. and did not enter into the
history beyond the latter date,
MIR. Carney's communication, in re-
ply to Mr. Marsh's article. follows:
Editor Times Republican,: The in
terest of T. P. Marsh in rectifying
any supposed errors of statement OF
the history of our county is commend
able, and the writer appreciates his
interest. We refer to his article in
last evenings issue Of your paper.
predicated upon your reporters ac-
count Of a certain paper delivered at
the recent meeting of the Historical
Society Of Marshall County, which ap-
peared in the issue of Nov. 1. The title
of the paper was 1.-The Institution OF
the County Judgeship In Marshall
County from 1851 to 1851"
"Mr. Marsh's news was gained. as
it appears from his article. not from
having heard the paper read. but from
this report in the newspaper which.
we believe was fair report. but
which, we submit. was not sufficient
authority, upon which to base crit
icism Of a paper, without view of
the original document. That paper
was a portion of a longer treatise,
written few years ago after a WIN
ter of research among available ma
terial. and the writer is able to fur
nish authority for all the statements
of facts there contained.
ct is not here denied that the office
of county judge existed prior to 1851
and after 1851. AS the history re-
ferred to pointed out. 1t was in 1884
that we see mentioned the title Of
Judge of the county court" CTerrl-
torial acts Of Michigan, Of 1884 for the
township Of Des Moines, west Of the
Mississippi river. It was in 1889
that the probate court was established
in Iowa, and Jurisdiction of this court
was placed in the hands Of this
Judge of the county court He was
from that time down to the latter part
CT the SOS known as the county judge
But the county judge, as above de-
fined. was not the subject Of the his
tory in question. That history dealt
with the institution Of the county
judgeship as created by the code of
1851, section 1903. ct sequa, and existed
for only ten years. being abolished IN
1861 when our present board of SUI
pervisors was created. (Code revision
1850, section 302. ct sequa. and also
section 324) The institution Of the
county judgeship was simply this: The
enlarging Of the powers of the ancient
county Judge or judge of probate
which existed prior to 1851 in Iowa.
so that he exercised not only his own
powers but also those which are
welded by our present board of SUI
