AN by Mr.. Hamilton and published
the newspapers yesterday after
oOn.
Nmong other remarks which he made
his audience in the Third ward and
sewhere, MIR. Bachman said the
eople of Orange were not forgetful
strange happenings in the Orange
Common Council years ago when Mr..
Hamilton was member of that body.
''The people of Orange do not forget
these occurrences of many years ago.
shouted the First ward aspirant. And
we recall how one hundred nauners
from the Poor Farm were marched
down to vote, and the man who was
in charge of the farm lost his job
for it.
81 won't say who was responsible,
but / will leave it to you to guess.
Now, do you want to elect man who
is anxious for YOU to forget these
happenings of some fifteen years ago
and throw dirt in your eyes?
"Mr. Hamilton says in his letter
that he wants to stop the leaks in the

he would get one out every night
His candidacy reminds me of many
people about to die. They send for
the priest or minister-try to get to
heaven on someone else's goodness.
The speaker declared Frank J. Muir

Seymour or Mr.. Hamilton if by
chance either was nominated" and he
allowed he alone could save the city

votes, although he had a united
party behind him, and declared that
with the party split by followers OF
