In Perth Amboy even should commits
sion form Of government be adopted
here. The people will have just the
sort OF government they choose TO
elect. Water will not rise higher than
Its source and the men the people
choose TO conduct their public affairs
for them will be no better, no worse
than the mass Of people themselves.
1t may be argued that the same
thing is true Of our present form OF

Perth Amboy had a population of

full OF holes by numerous state

instead Of having a government by
duly elected representatives, of the
people we have a government based
on numerous opinions rendered by the
city attorney, and as each succeeding
city attorney may hold different opin-

confusion all the time.
Ii IS impossible for even the best

The first duty, then. is to see thai

Ninth Convention


When the ninth qu~adrennial Repub-
lican Party ~conclave met In Chicago
June 9th. 1885. James G.. Blaine was
still the towering giant among all Re-
publicans. Particularly after Cleve-
land issued his famous tariff message
and the Mills Bill was introduced.
circumstances and necessities seemed
to call "the plumed night" once
moro to leadership. But Ill health
made such activity for him impos-
sible. Blaine refused to allow the
consideration of his name-although
some delegates insisted upon voting
for him to the end.
The only other candidate OF pre-
vious convention prominence was
John Sherman of Ohio, who had twice
previously sought the palm. sherman
led for six ballots. At first his near
est competitor was Walter q. Ores
ham of Indiana. Then General Russell
A. Alger of Michigan forged to the
fore. Other candidates on the roll
we're Senator Allison of Iowa. Chaun-
.cey NJ. Depew of New York, jeremiah
Rusk of Wisconsin, William Walter
Phelps of New Jersey, John ]. ingalls,
of Kansas. f.. II. Filter of Pennsyi.
vania, Mckinley of Ohio and Robert
T. Lincoln Of Illinois.
General BENJAMIN Harrison of In
di&na started modestly with so votes;
crowded Sherman on the sixth ballot
with 2Sf votes: went into the lead on
the seventh with 27S- votes; and was
nominated on the eighth and last bal
lot with 544 votes.
One ballot then suficed to complete
the ticket with Levi z. Morton of New
York-who, with SCI votes. found his
nearest competitors in Phelps of New.
York, with 119, and William O. Brad
ley of Kentucky. with 1913. The tenn
porary chairman of the Convention
was John NJ. Thurston of Nebraska;
the permanent chairman, Maurice NJ.
Estee of California.
The platform congratulated our
fellow citizens OF Irish birth upon the
peaceful of HON rule for
Ireland" charged Democracy with
criminal suppression of negro votes
in the South: opposed the immigra-
ton of Chinese labor; accomplished
tariff protection as paramount; invited
South Dakota. North-Dakota, Wash

ing, Idaho and Arizona into the Union;
once more banned polygamy, demand

ed Cleveland for his opposition to

This is strangely ill-omened day,
according to a~strology. for all the
planetary influences are evil. Mars
Saturn. Uranus and Mercury are ali
adverse.
When the armistiee was signed the
seers declared that because the end
came when 1T did peace could not
come to the earth and they now give
warning of dangers not recognized.
Mars is in a place that is read as
threatening in the sense that it gives
all who read the signs a hint of the
need of foresight. This aspect is held
to encourage the safeguarding of the
nation against future troubles.
A~strologers forecast future losses
and reverses hat affect American
world interests, since Saturn in hos
tile place separates persons and la
tons from what is most valued.
While this days aspects are fore
boding they are also inspiring. since
they encourage wide measures hat

feel rich enough to pay the higher

weeks before the congressional cleo

ON THE WAY.

1t looks as If commission government
for Perth Amboy is actually on the
way. Petitions calling for an election
TO decide whether or not to adopt the
commission form of government are
now in circulation. Before this cleo
ton can be held the petition must be
signed by 20 per cent, of the legal
voters voting at the last general cleo
ton. The city clerk will then issue a
call for an election to be held the third
Tuesday following the date OF the fl
ton valid the votes cast in favor OF
the change must equal at least 80 per
cent, of the votes cast for members
of the general assembly at the last
general election.
1t makes no difference who started
this movement or who Is back OF 1t.
Neither IS It of any concern what
motives, II any, may have prompted
the move. the whole. situation Is en-
tirely In the hands of the people. They
can decide as they please and elect
whom they please. Furthermore. the
responsibility OF each commissioner
after he is elected is directly fixed and
he can be ousted from office by the
people at a special election called for
the purpose at n time after his first
year of service.
