hill said that he drew the measure. and II
was not a bill for any boss. lie said II
was passed To meet defects I'm the present
law. and characterized it as a companion
bill 10 the Geran act. Mr. Pagan called it
Democratic measure in the interest Of
party harmony and success.
In behalf OF his own bill, Mr.. Griffin de-
clared electioneering for this Office every
year was bad policy, and especially this

which continued for years. John Wilson. a
negro. is now legally entitled 10 the estate
OF Mrs Sarah Vain Hendrickson Of VAIN
ford. Monmouth County. including the

vey TO Wilson all her real and personal

fire on him, when they saw that he was
