Today We Celebrate
Anniversary of the G. A. r..

The thinning ranks of the Union
veterans of the civil war Will cele-
brate the ffty-second anniversary OF
the founding Of the Grand Army or
the Republic as a national organiza-
ton. 1t was on November 20, 1866
that the first national encampment or
the G.. A. r. was called to order in
Norrison's Opera House in Indianapo-
lis.
DIR. B. F. Stephenson, of Springfield.
ILL.,, a surgeon in the Fourteenth Illi-
nois Infantry, was the father of the
G. A. r. Early in 1866 he began to
urge the d~esirability of a society of
the returned veterans for mutual ben
ent and to afford assistance to other
veterans in need. In April a local
post of the veterans was formed in
Decatur, ILL.,, and other posts were
soon mustered throughout Illinois and
contiguous states. The first state de-
partment convention that of Illinois,
was held in Springfield in July. On
the last day of October DIR. Stephen
son. as provisional commander-in-
chief, sent out a call for q national
encampment, anil Indianapolis was
chosen as the place of meeting. Del
egates appeared from thirteen states
and the District of Columbia at this
first gathering and stephen A. Hurl-
but, of Illinois, was elected comman-
der-in-chief. He was a native OF
South Carolina, but was q Union ma
jor general of volunteers in the great
struggle.
The veterans of the South remained
without a similar organization until
1889 when United Confederate Vet
order was launched and soon
gained a place in the affections of the
South similar to that held by the G.
A. r.. in the North.

THE ~ PRESIDENCY

We cannot conceive of the Republican party electing Emerson
L. Richards, would be senator from Atlantic county, to the exalted
position of president of the senate, carrying with it, as it does, the
acting governorship for a few months when Governor Edge leaves to
take up his duties as United States senator, under such conditions as
now exist. Richards accepted a captaincy in the United States army
and having accepted the appointment he automatically ceased to be
a member of the New Jersey legislature according to the state const
tuition. Yet, now that the war is over, he seeks to retain his seat in
the senate and even aims to be president of that body. We fail to sec
The slightest ground for i Richard contention.

office. When the Republicans have material like Wells to draw upon

THE ASSEMBLY RECOUNT

The action of the Republican state leaders in asking for a recount
of the assembly vote in Middlesex county is like a drowning man
grasping at a straw. With the House standing at a tie the Republic
ans have everything to gain and nothing to lose excepting the cost
of the recount should it go against them, and this expense will easily
-he made up from the campaign fund in some way. 1t is not Tor a
minute to be expected that Mr.. Appleby, the Republican assembly
candidate who lost out as a result of the soldier vote, Will bear the ex
pense.
Middlesex is coming to be the real political battle-ground OF New
Jersey. There has hardly been an election of late years that a recount
has not been ordered or seriously contemplated. The parties ares so
evenly divided that the result is always in doubt, the independent vote
holding the balance of power at the ballot box.
1t is significant that two years ago, when Congressman Scully
secured a recount, the control of the House of Representatives was a
stake. This year upon the result of the recount depends the control
of the lower house of the state legislature. Hardly an election passes
nowadays that the attention of the state and even the nation, is not
focused upon Middlesex county.
