'• OnMondayafternoon trie annual sled-tton of the borough tit Bed Bank washeld and resulted in a victory for theOld, board, the entire ticket being re-elooted by an average of 44 majority.William CuUington, against whom the

: bitterest and most violent opposition wasmanifested, was reeiected by ̂ majori-ty. John J. Antonlde* was the onlymember of the old board who refused arenomlnation. and his place on the ticketwas taken by Samuel Sabath, who waselected along with the rest of the board.' The regular primary meeting was heldat the Globe hotel on Friday night. Itwas the largest primary ever held tonominate borough officers, For threemonths previous wire* had been pulled

- and pipe laid to defeat the old board inthe primary, The greatest oppositionwas manifested to William Culllngton,who had held the office of commissionerfor three successive years.

Mr. Cullington had about decided thathe bad had enough of borough honors,and expected to retire front the board.But when threata»were made that hewould be defeated if be ran again, andthat he could not set the nominationanyway, he concluded that he wouldchange his mind about not running, andthat he would be commissioner for onemore year, just for the fun of the thing.He pnt on bis war-paint and announcedhimself as a oandidato. He went evenfurther, and carried the war into Africa,as it were. He not only declared thathe was a candidate for the nomination,bat asserted that he waa also a candi-date for chairman of the primary. ..

When the night of the primary ar-rived the court-room of the ulobe hotel,

i where the primary was held, was crowd-ed. Half the people who wanted toattend the primary could not get in theroom, and had to remain in the bar-room. Fully four-fifths of those presentwere in favor of the election ol.Wm,Cullington as chairman of the primary!and of the renomination of the old board.When candidates for chairman were

' called for Win. Cullington and Win. Pin-. tarid were named. Mr. Pintard declinedand Wm. Cullington was elected almostunanimously, only two or three personsvoting against him. The nomination ofthe ticket was then proceeded with, andthe old board waa renominated by ac-clamation. John J, Antonldes declinedto run and he nominated Bamnol SabathIn his place, and Samuel Sabath wasnominated with as much unanimity asthe old board bad been, Wm.,M. Sickleswas renominated as clerk, and Harry E.Gill and Peter Aumack were put on theticket as inspectors of election. Theprimary waa so harmonious and unani-mous that only seven minutes was re-quired to nominate the enlira ticket.

Baturday morning small hand billswere thrown around town printed as'foUowa: ---------- •

No one could discover who was theauthor of the circular. It was generallythought that Jossph Reilly was its au-thor, out he declared that he knew noth-ing whatever about it. ,

Baturday night about 60 persons wentto the Globe hotel to attend the primary.Over half of them were those who hadattended the primary the night before,and were in favor of the old board.Eight o'olook came and the meeting wasnot called. Time went slowly on and itbegan to be feared that the primary,like the circular calling it, would heUoByrnMU. It waa after half-past eightwhen ex-Judge Samuel T, Hendricksonsaid to Joseph Koilly that he might aswell call the meeting as to wait anylonger. •

Mr. Reilly went into the back roomand rapped on the table with his kquckles. He announced the object of themeeting and called for a nomination forchairman. Ex-Senator Applegate wasnamed 'and was elected. Several personawere nominated as secretary, but theydeclined to serve. Finally Joseph Reillywas prevailed upon to accept. He readthe call, and a committee was appointedto make a ticket. The committee con-sisted of Samuel T. HendrlobBon, Dr.Thoe. A, Curtis, Wm. J, Button andThos. H, Applegate. Thoy retired toconsult and in a short time returnedwith the following ticket:

For calef commissioner—Jotm Button.For assistant commissioners—Samuel Horford, H.

H. Curtis, Jotin A. Worthier. 0. D. Warner.For town clerk-Wm. M. sickles.For InipMton ot electlon-Cairles B . Bordeo,

Jobs Uojo, ol Bonlen street.

Before noon on election day a combi-nation had been made between the pro-hibition ticket and the ticket nomimitodon Saturday night. Bamuel Morfordand John A, Wortliley refused to run andL, P. Couklin and Arthur A. Pattersonwere put on the ticket in their places,'This would glvo the prohibitionists • amajority tn the board if elected, sinceJohn Button would vote against thegranting of licenses. The town clerkand inspectors of election nominated onSaturday night were left on the ticket.

The nominees on the regular tloketcompleted their canvass and arrange-ments on Sunday morning, Their fig-ures gave them B, majority'ot 165 it nomoney was' Used on either side, andgave them a majority o( 65 in case theprohibitionists and their allies were pre-pared to use financial arguments on elec-tion day. On two previous occasionsthe old board bad made a canvass forthe borough election, and each timecame very close to tbeirestlmate. Onco

set. The estimated majority in Mon-day's election was based on the idea that624 votes would be oast. As their figureshad proven almost absolutely correctIn' previous years they wore confidentthat they would win. — '

Election day was bright and clear,All tbo morning the workers for bothaides were preparing for the battle in

.the afternoon. Stages.wore hired totake voters to and from the polls,' telo-gramewere sent In various directions forvoters who were out of town to come Inand vote, and every possible moans takento get every vote possible, One adherentof the regular tloket was at work atiAkewood, but word wa» got to him andbis ballot was deposited In the box be-fore the polls were dosed,

All through the morning conflictingreports were circulated consenting thetlokets. It woa reported1 Mat first oneand then another of the candidates hodwithdrawn, and It waa not until nearlynoon that the status of the tiokots wasdeUnltely known. A* BamuolT. Hen-

drickeon and. Thomas H. Applegate wereon the committee which selected' theticket on Saturday - night, it was gener-ally believed tbat the tloket opposed tothe old board was In favorof doing awaywith the electrlo etreet lights, and replac-ing them with gae-lampe. Tblsbelief wasstrengthened by notices' which weregent around town in the morning to theeffect that the price of gas would be re-duood to 13 a thousand feet on andafter June 1st.

The question of furnishing, water totbe railroads was also one of the ques-tions whioh affected the election. Therailroads paid Kd* more for water lastyear, when the (rack tanks were used,than they did the year before, althoughthey used about three times aa muchwater. The; term of office of GeorgeCooper, one of tbe board of water com-missioners, expired on Monday morn-ing,- and the town commiesloners ap-pointed Wm. T, Corlies as his successor.It. was announced that in case the oldboard was reflected another water com-missioner would be appointed next yearwho would be In favor of making therailroads pay a higher price for thewater, and a price more proportionateto that paid before the track tanks wereused. . ' • ' • ; «

The polls opened promptly at oneo'clock, according to the town clerk'swatch, A large number of votes werepalled in 'the first fifteen minutes, the"regulars" being largely, in the majori-ty. The proportion of "regular" votesdiminished as the afternoon wore on,andduriDgtbelastlialf tour the prohi-bition votes greatly outnumbered thosecast by the other aide. *

Tbe prohibitionists had plenty ofmoney to oarrv on their campaign.David W.Smith's barn, which was locat-'ed near by, was used as the place for de-bats when the prohibition workers foundit necessary to use solid arguments toconvince a voter that the prohibitionballot was the proper one for him tovote. A considerable number of debatestook place in the barn, and- as the stockof arguments of the prohibitionists waspractically without limit, their eloquenceswelled their vote considerably. •. Posters were stuckuparound thepolls bearingthisannouncement:

j CD. WAttNEB 13 A CANDIDATE, i ~

They were also pat up In various partsof the town. Circulars, which had beenprinted at the Standard office, wereflung around town in large numbers call-ing upon every one to Bupport the com-bination ticket, and adding the startlinginformation that "the polls will be openfrom 1 p. M. to F. u."

Around.the polls the best of humorprevailed. The "regulars" or "ruf-fians" as the adherents of the old board

llcation of Saturday's' circular, knewthat they, were going to win; and as theother side felt confident they were goingto win there was no occasion for anybad feeling. Among the workers forthe oombination-problbition tioket wereJames Walsh, El wood C. Richardson,Corllea W. Thompson, George Woods,Amos Borden ana George Longstreet,the local editora of the Standard, JosephReilly, J. Frank Patterson, Charles H.Bordon, andeovoralothera. _Nonoof thocandidates on the prohibition ticketacted as poll worker;. Tbe workers onthB "regular" ticket were tbe candi-dates themselves, Jacob Degenring,Thomas Cumberson, Richard Apple-gate, and one or two others.

The polls closed at four o'clock, andthe poll clerk and inspectors affixed theirnames and attested to the number otvotes cast. Just as they had done soJames Peters came hurriedly up andasked to have his ballot put in the box.

"You're too late," said Poll ClerkSickles. "The nolle are closed."

'But the polls don't close till fouro'clock, and it still wants half a minuteto four," pleaded Mr. Peters.. " It's two minutes past four," said thetown clerk, looking at his watch.. "Well, your watch is wrong," said

Mr. Peters.Ms:.watch,Is right," said the tjSton

clerk, "I opened the polls at oneo'clock by my watch and closed themat four. I can't run the polls by all thewatches in town. It I did I would haveto keep thepolla open until tomorrowmorning. The polls are closed and nomore votes can be put in the box."

When the counting of the votes beganthB prohibitionist vote took tha lead.At the end of the first hundred theywere quite a bit ahead. Their lead wasgradually cut down, and when threehundred votes were counted the regu-lars were ahead. They continued togain until all the votes were counted,when their ticket bad an average of 44majority, Daniel Applegate was highestman on the ticket, he getting 885 votesout of tbo 60S that were cast, a majorityof S7 over the highest man on the otherticket.

The number of votes each candidatereceived waa as follows:

The "regulars," who had won, tooktheir viotory very quietly, though theywore nono the less joyous. The contesthad been stubborn, but it showed thattheir canvass bad been practically asaccurate as those of former years.

The Standard:, whioh had been pre-dicting the defeat of William Culling-ton, and whioh had been Insisting thathe must bo forced to retire to privatelife, found out tbat It did not know allabout Red Bank politics. But it was sotlokled over the election ot John ButtonandWm.M.

The license fees aggregated $17,000,which is nearly three times the amountreceived for licenses at any May term ofcourt in previous years. ••

Aliconse tot o, temperance hotel atMiddletown, to be kept by Mrs, Ellca-both Magoo, was also granted.

Jesse 0. Errickson, of Blue Ball, InHowell towoship, applied for a license.& remonstrance was presented againsthlsjplaoQ being granted a license, on theground that it had been kept as a disor-derly house. One of the remonstrantastated that there was no need for a pub-lio house there; that It was kept simplyaa a drinking plooo; and that there Eaabeen lights and dlsturbanoos there fortwo Baturday nights In succession. Bisapplication was laid over- until nextlonday.The application for lloense of the

Brighton and Continental hotels at LongBranoh were also laid over until' nextMonday, ', . '

Tuokcr f« Snjdcr, of Branchport,wanted a llcenselor Norman L. Uunro'shotel at that place. The granting of thollooneo was objected to on tho groundthat one licensed place wai already there;that BranOhport was a town of BBO in-habitants; tbat some of the signers tothe application wcro not froeholitersMid that tone were no

with the premises as required by law.General Haight spoke in favor of grant-ing a license to the hotel, but the courtlaid the application over until Monday,It will probably be refused.

There was exceptional interest shownwhen the applications of the Seabrighthotels came up. Charles H. Dederer,the owner of the Peninsula house, hasin the past been strongly opposed to thegranting of licenses'. He has remon-strated against lioensos being granted to:the hotels and saloons of the place, andhas been vigorous in his efforts to pre-vent licenses from being granted. OnMonday he was himself on applicant fora license. The1 court, after a rather longhearing, granted him a license on condi-tion that his house be kept open onlyduring tbe summer months; that therebe no bar; and that the license beused only for the purpose of supply-ingitbe guests of the hotel with liquor.George B. Sandt, the owner of the Octa-gonnotel at Seabright, was granted alicense on the same conditions.

The application of Edward Pannaci,who keeps a restaurant in Harmony ball,Seabright, and who asked for a licenseIn order that he might serve his guestswith liquor, was refused. 8eabrightsummer residents who own propertythere and who are worth upwards oftwenty million dollars, had signed hisapplication. The applications of Hen-derson & Wickliffe and John J. Brehmfor licenses to keep'saloons at Seabrightwere also refused.

The application of Wpolman Stokes,of the Seabriglit Inn, for a hotel license,waa laid over until next Monday.

The application of Sarah Atkins, ofthe Union hotel, Bed Bank, was laidover until Monday on account of the ap-plication not being made out in properform,

Michael Rainey, Jr.,of Oceanio, appliedfor a hotel license and was refused.

A remonstrance was sent in againstgranting licenses to Garret Eonover andPeter Glberson, of Allontown. Bemoo-stranoes are sent la against these-hotelsas a matter of form every year. Undertbe usual rule the applications were laidover until next Monday.'

Wm^O. Towen, the new proprietor: ofthe Clajpit creek hotel, had a hard timeto get bis license, but it was granted.Gen. Haight made a speech in favor ofgranting the license, and stated that thehotel was to be used as a club house fora few months of the year by New Yorklawyers and politicians, among whomwere Judge Marline, John R. Fellows,and other prominent men. Gen. Haighttold Judge Soudder that he thought heought to have a sort of fellow feeling forthese men, and tbat Mr. Towon oughtto get a license. Judge Scudder evi-dently thought so too, for he grantedthe license, although he had refused oneto this same hotel last year.

The application of John A.vWise, ofLong Branch, was not made but inproper form and was laid over to beamended. The application of Wm.Eager, of Long Brancb, was refused.So waa tbe application of Warren Ice-land, Jr., for a license for the pier atLong Branch. |, j

Quite a'number of saloon licenses wererefused. Among these was the licenseof Patrick Flarity, of Middletowntownship. An^application-from-blmbad been refused once before. Tabor C.Taylor and Bichard Hall, of MonmouthPark,-wanted to keep saloons, but thecourt would not give them a license.Charles H. Wolcott's application, for asaloon at Freehold, was laid over untilnext Monday. John A, Coyne and Jos-eph Maurer, of Earitan township, wererefused licenses. Both of these were fornew saloons. The application of Hutch-ins Brown, of Long Branch, was alsorefused.'

The consideration of the licenses tookUP pretty much all the morning. Allthe petit jurors except two wanted to beexcused lor the term, but their desireswere not complied with. In the after-noon 'the regular court business wasproceeded with. '

Tbe case of Peter Jtruee against theboard of freeholders of the county hasbeen before the court for several days.A county bridge formed a part of Jer-nee's mill dam, and a freshet last yearwashed away the bridge and dam andinjured the mill. Jerneo claimed thattbe county was responsible and «ued for115,000 damages. The cose was com-pleted on Tuesday, and the- jury wasstill out late yesterday afteroobn.

Two indictments were presented bytbe grand jury last week. One of themwas against Bichard Kearney for themurder of Mrs. Purcell at Long Brancb.Kearney was brought Into court,' wherehe pleaded not guilty. The trial wasset down for May 16th.

Caleb Patterson and Robert Eetell,who ran overhand killed Wm. H. Hart,tbe.toll-gate keeper on the Freehold andColt's Neck turnpike, were arraigned

THE BRIDGE IS ALL RIGHT.THE FREEHOLDER!PA38JUDQ

MENT UPON IT.

It la Well Built, ot Ckiod KaUitalt,and la Probably the Bert WoodenBridge In tbe Conntr-BMolallon*PaueA by tbe Board.Last Saturday tha board of freehold-

ers visited the wooden bridge whioh wasrecently built across the Manasquanriver, and connecting Ocean and. Mon-mouth counties.. The assertion was re-cently made in the Spring Lake Oaiitteand Mirror that the bridge was poorlybuilt, was of poor materials, and wasnot constructed in accordance with tbeterms of the contract. The committeewho had charge of the bridge thereuponasked the board to visit the bridge in abody and pass judgment on the work.The visit to the bridge was made lastSaturday, and the members of the boardwere unanimous in their opinion thatthe bridge was an excellent structure.

The bridge waa built by Nesbitt & Pat-terson, of Howell, and tbe timber wasfurnished by Geo. W. Patterson. Thebridge is 896 feet long, with a draw, andthe contract price was $4,W0. Therewere no allowances for extras. Thebridge is built on substantial chestnutpiling, and all the timbers of the bridgeare of Georgia pine timber of excellentquality. The roadway is sixteen feetwide, and is planked with flint-classheart cedar, 2J inches thick. The bridgehas had two coats of pafnt.

The old bridge which was formerly onthis site was a very narrow affair, notwide enough to permit two teams topass each other. If two wagons met onthe bridge, one or the other of them hadto back off. The bridge is owned jointlyby the counties of Ocean and Monmoutb,each county bearing half the,expense ofIts construction. ' - i •

The freeholders mot at Daylsbn's hotelat Manasquan and rode from there outto the bridge,. The Monmouth end ofthe bridge is near the residence of Br.Robert Laird, in Wall .township, and adrive of two miles and a half was neces-sary to reach the bridge. A committeeof the Ocean county freeholders waspresent at the meeting."

The paper making charges against thebridge contained a column article lastweek, giving in detail the points inwhich the bridge was not built accord-ing to contract. These changes fromthe original plans and specifications weretrifling, and Freeholder Tilton, of Walltownship, stated that they were madeby his direction in order to improve thebridge. The freeholders 'were of tbeunanimous opinion that the bridge hodbeen improved by the changes made.

A REGISTER young man who went overthe bridge found it a very wellbuiltstructure. Tbe draw is 86 feet wide inthe clear, and the road-bed Is as firm endsolid as it the bridge were of iron insteadof wood. It is probably the best woodenbridge in the county, and in the opinionof the freeholders would last for fifteenor twenty years.

Lyttleton White and Jehu* P. Cooper,of the Monmouth county board of free-holders, and John J. Forsythe and Wm.Jeffrey of the Ocean county board, wereappointed a corjimUtotTto prepare reso-lutions concerning the matter. Noneof these men. were on the committeewhich built tbe bridge. The resolutionsprepared and offered were ag follows:W o n u B , The GautU and Mirror, a neirqxper

publlaied at Spring Lake, Momrjoulh oountt. InIts issue ot April Tin, 1689, made tbe followingstatement, to wit: ' -" Tie bridge orer the Uanasquan river, recently

built by Neobltt ft Patterson, Is not built accordingto the plans and specification*. It Is fUms; andillj-amalructed, and a diagram to urafreebolderahartnir supervision orer Ita construction. Wewould advise tbe board ol freeholders to examineIt carefully before pajlsg the balance due Ura con-tractors."AND Wunuuft The boards of cbosen freeholder)

of tno respcetlvo counties ot Oocan and Mon-mouth convened at Nanasquan this fifth dav ofMar, 1888, and proceeded to examine said bridge;and

WHJUIUA, Messrs. Jeffrey and larqrthe, two mem-bers of the Ocean ooonty board, and Messrs.Cooper and Whllo, two members of the HOD-niouth county board, not members of the oommlt-tee on said bridge, were appointed to draw anilpresent such -resolutions as to them may seemright; therefore, pursuant thereto, the said com-mittee respectively recommend the adoption ofihe following resolution, to wit:Itcwlmi, Tost thB bridge over the MaowquaD

river, recently built by Nooblw 4 pattcnon, laneither flimsy, Illj-oonjtructed, nor t disgrace tothe freeholders having supervision over lu corj-stuction: but Is a ffood, substantial bridge, built Ina workmanlike manner, out ot Ont-class materials,and lu accordance with the plans and specifications,except In tome minor details where such changewas mado by Uiu oommlileo having chame of thework as lu their Judgment wa« deemed best; whichaction Is hereby approved by the boards of toe re-spective counties.

JEHD P. COOPEB, 'LYTTLETON WHITE,WILLIAM JKITBET,JOHN J. F O B S T T B E ;

Committee.The resolutions were adopted unani-

mously by both counties by a 'risingvote. . . .

It is supposed that the. complaintagainst the Dridge was the result ofjealousy on the part of some person whofailed to get the contract for buildingthe etruoture. The freeholders withoutexception, expressed themselves as wellpleased with the work, and gratifiedthat tha countieB had got so excellent abridge at so small a cost.

DON'T OARHY^A BOTTLE.Danger Lurk* In a Whiskey Bottle

In the Hip Pocket,Wm. Conk, of Freehold, has had an

unpleasant experience with whiskey,and has learned a lesson as to the dan-ger incurred In carrying a bottle ofwhiskey. On Sunday of. last week hestarted to ride on horseback from Lake-wood to Freehold, and on the way hefell off the horse and broke a glass Dot-tie filled with whiskey whlob he hadin his hip pocket. Tbe Whiskey waslost, and the broken glass penetrated hiship, When he arrived near Blue Ball hewas completely prostrated by the loss ofblood. He was conveyed to Freeholdin a farm wagon, where Dr. Freemandressed bis wounds.- Hereafter Mr.Conk will probably carry bottles In hisbreast pocket, or will stow the contentsof tho bottle beneath his vest and notcarry a bottle at all. If ho adopts thelatter course he will not only not wastethe whiskey, but will be out ot dangerof broken glass.

are Buffering from'influenza. JosepnDancer, of COH'B Neck, had his entirestable of seven horses sick witb the dis-ease, though not serionaly. The stock,of many other farmers and horsemenis also suffering.

Cerebral diseases, which have attackedmany horses of this section for the pastyear, seem to be increasing. It i* Ml-doni tbat ordinary work homes are at-tacked with this disease, it being Don-fined almost exclusively to high-bredhorses and those which are kept fine andfat.

Such action would insure the speedyconstruction of the bridge, and it wouldnot leave the board of freeholders de-pendent on the charity of individuals.

The above is from the Standard of lastweek. St. George .Kempaon,- the neweditor of the Standard, seems to havetaken up the fight against .Town Treas-urer Cullinglou where the Penficlds leftoff, but Mr. Eempson will find that hewill be no more successful in throwingdust in people's eyes than were hia predo-cessors. ForfonrycarstheStoidardhaBwaged an unsucceesful warfare againstthe board efcdmmissiorisrs.aad.partlo-ularly against Win. Cullington; and forfour years tbe people have refused to beguided by the Standard's advice. It isan easy matter to make general chargesof incompetenoy, but the Standard hasnever yet stated in what particular theboard was incompetent. The presentyear the strongest combination possiblewas formed to defeat the board. It in-cluded the prohibitionists and their allieswho oppose the licensing of saloons; itincluded every person interested in theBed Bank gas light company; it in-cluded the strength of the Globe hotel,which 1B estimated* at thirty votes andwhich was cast solid against the old

- board; the railroad influence was against.the old board; the local editors of theStandard worked against the ticket;candidates for town position!) who feltthat they bad no chance of appoint-

—ment under tho old board-worked againstthem; workers against the old boardwere supplied with all the cold c_ah thatopuld be used; and combined with allthese was a ticket made up of the strong-est men that could be found in townwho could be induced to ran.

Against this array of opposition the,,*-.old board set up' the record of their past

acts and went before trie "peoplp. Theyasked for a reSlection, and the people,knowing that no board could fulfill itsduties to the people better than the oldboard had done, reflected them by a goodmajority. A dozen cliques, each with anaxe to grind, opposed the board, but thepeople who desired good government—alocal government for the benefit of thepeople and not for the benefit of indi-viduals—outnumbered tile combined op-ponents of the board.' Tbe board owe their'election to them-selves—totbocaro with which thoy have

' looked after the town's interest in thepast. 'Had there been any real publicgriovanoo, had they conducted tho of-

. fairs-of the town in Buch a manner as togive the public cause to complain, theycould never have withstood the com-bined assault upon them. But their ac-tion has been so manifestly for the pub-lio good that private interests and pri-vate grievances, even when combined

with the anti-license sentiment, could.no t compass their defeat.

The 'reSlection of the old board is a. guarantee of good borough government. for the coming year. It is a guarantee

that the borough money will be wiselyexpended and with a view to tbe ad-vantage of the entire town. And it iean illustration that public officials, byproper public action, can win the confi-dence' and support of those who are cotdominated and inspired by private in-terests.

The Shrewsbury Bridge.The. freeholders, in making their ar-

rangements " for a bridge across theShrewsbury river, should. not restwholly on the statement that oparties will come to the assistance of thecounty and furnish money to build an

" iron bridge instead of a wooden one. Asufficient amount of money has beenappropriated by the freeholders to builda wooden bridge. As soon as privateparties have obligated themselves tofurnish the abutments at either end othe bridge, the board should preparepUns for e. wooden bridge and advertisefor bid* for Its construction. The pr|peDarned by the lowest responsible falddei

-•-•;: Farmers a n d t h e Tariff.The .Democratic papers which clamor

tor free trade have adopted a new policyin speaking of the protective tariff.They now assert that manufacturers de-mand & protective tariff in order thatthey may be forced to pay high wages ;and having put these words in the mouthof the manufacturers they gravely pro-ceed to show how silly they are. • . _ . •

Manufacturers require a protectivetariff, not in order that they may beforced to pay high wages, but in orderthat they .may be able to pay them. Thepearl button factories of this Btate wereknocked out of existence when the tariffon pearl buttons was reduced,' and otherindustries were greatly injured. Notone out of fifty men formerly engagedin the manufacture of pearl buttons inthis country remains in tbe buBinjpjs to-day ; and the "same result will occur inother industries~wlien-the-tariff is-re-duced below the protective point.

The farming lands of manufacturingstates have increased in value as a directresult of the tariff. A state largely de-voted to manufacturing, as is New Jer-sey, has tens of thousands of operativeswho must be fed. This creates a largedemand for food products, and not onlyfurnishes a market for tho produce oftho farms, but makes the farms them-selves increase in value. Anythingwhich would throw men out of employ-ment would decrease the demand forfarm products; it would decrease theamount of money to be spent in food,and so would injure the farming com-munity. Some of the unemployedwould become tillers of the soil them-selves, and this would still farther de-crease the farmers' profits.

The prosperity of farmers depends inrery great measure on the prosperity of.hose who buy their products, and any-hing which decreases the wages of op-

eratives and manufacturing employeeswould cause a direct and immediate in-jury to those engaged in agriculturalpursuits.

.. i Io\e feud by Jtuy mfMat. XM>AbWA, faction fitd nosh« <twM*d uufc-jorfty ttutt they didn't -Haw the Blod-p i t m e n to Lave anything to ray, andtnr riding rough-shod over them theysilenced them. Tbe proceedings weremore or lew dlsorderly—usuAlly more—but not nearly so muob 80 <s theywould have been had the two factionsbeen more evenly matched in numbers.Out.of.tbe 090 delegate* Blodgett got158 votes aa adelegate-at-large to the St.Louis convention. This was a bad de-re&t'fdf the DlOdeeM" faction,-but theAbbett men consider it a glorious vic-tory. The Blodgett men held out theolive branch of peace, but their overtureswere repulsed by the Abbett folib. AllenMeDermott, who led • the Abbett forces,told one of tho Monmouth delegatesthat they would rather have New Jerseycarried by the Republicans this fall thanlet Blodgett go to St. Louis as a delegate,and the main idea of the Abbett menseemed to be—to defeat Blodgett at anycost;• i . " . . . . ' .

But what are the Dark Lantern Dem-ocrats coming to? It I remember' cor-rectly, in their declaration of principleslast fall they set forth that their missionwas to crowd the unholy people put ofpolitics, to ,rid the Democratic party ofits bosses; and to set forth good andtrue men as exponents of the party.Yet at the state convention last week•Wm, Pintard, one of the originators ofthe Dark-Lantern movement, acted anspokesman for the Monmouth countydelegates, and spoke in favor of LeonAbbett. 'If the election of BufusBlod-gett over leon Abbett last year was anillustration of the triumph of the pureand holy in politics over the base andwicked, how ia it that the leader of tbeDark-Eimtoras raises his voice in favorof Abbett ?. This is a connundrum whichhas been puzzling rue ever since theconvention was held. It cannot he thatthe Dark-Lanterns have no principlesAfter, all,LanoVthat their platform waasimply what the worldly call guST AncTyet, on what other basis can their pres-ent attitude be explained ? •

While the result of the conventionwill unquestionably hurt the Democraticparty in tha Btute, there lire men whothink that it will help Dr. Pattersonwonderfully this fall, and will tend tounite the two factions in this county.The Monmouth delegates voted as aunite for Abbett and Blodgett. Dr.James H. Patterson was one of the dele-gates and his vote, like the others wascast for Blodgett. Dr. Patterson's friendssay that his action at the conventionwill placate the Blodgett faction, andwill convert the niembersof that factionfrom active enemies into friends. Otherssay that Dr. Patterson's vote for Blod-gett was eimf ly a political move whichis easily seen through; that as Blodgettwas sure to be defeated anyway, Ur.Patterson cast hia vote for him, know-ing that it would not affect the result,and thinking that he would gain thesupport of the Abbett faction by doingso.

One of the occurrences at the Demo-cratic caucus surprised me. Dr. Patter-son was temporary chairman of theMonmouth county caucus, and in ballot-ing for a temporary chairman Wm, Pin-tard got 17 votes and Gen. Haight got15. Mr. Pintard has always been knownaa a warm friend of County Clerk Pat-terson's, while Gen. Baight has been re-garded as quite the reverse, When tbevote was cast Dr. Patterson, instead ofannouncing the vote and declaring Mr.Pintard the chairman, hesitated a mo-ment, and then dskecTif there were anypersons who wanted to change theirvotes. How such an astute politiciancould be led into making such a blunderas this is more than I can see. v

• • •There is one point on which THE REO-

ISTEII and Standard thoroughly agree.That is in relation to the speech of Capt.JameB 8. Tlirockmorton,-the presidentof the Merchants' steamboat company,at the meeting at Atlantic Highlandsconcerning theoridge across the Shrews-bury river. In speaking of Capt.Throckmorton's remarks the Standardsays:

The remarks made at thn freeholders' meeting?last Saturday by Captain James 8. Throcltmdrionshows the magnanimity of that gentleman.

These are my sentiments exactly.Nobody but a magnanimous man wouldhave given consent for the public tobuild a public bridge across a publicstream ; and all the people of this partof the county should feel under intenseand everlasting obligations to Cnpt.Throckmorton for permitting it to bedone.

* * *If there Is one paper more than another

which han denounced the menhadenfishermen, and which has declared thatthey have utterly ruined the fishing allalong our coasts, that paper is the Man-asquan Seaside. To read the articles inthat paper on the menhaden fisherieswould lead one to believe tli'nt therewasn't another fish to bo caught in thesea. And yet tho Seaside is always tell-ing how good the fishing is in the Mana-Bquan» river. Oftentimes there will hetwo' articles in the same issue of thepaper, one saying that the fishing hasbeen irretrievably ruined by the men-haden fishermen, and the other statingthat never before had the fishing in thatplaco been so good. The-latest incidentin the Seaside, illustrating the excellenceof the fishing down that way, was inlast week's paper and was as follows:

Large numbers of herring are being caught atWreck Fond Inlet. Tbese Oih come In tbe Inlet lorthe purpose ol gutting to treal) water and whilemakiDfr tuelr way over tbo stout's that line tbtisluiceway, they are cosily cauflbt with the bund.Two of tbe StatUlc men caught 21 ol tbese uih wltbthoir hands In fifteen mlDUUiS on Wuiluusilay luat.

When fish are so thick that a coupleof men can catch .1 with their hands infifteen minutes, the fishing ought tobe considered at least fair. Here in theShrewsbury river fishing has never be-fore been as good aB it was last year and•the-menhaden pirates, as they are called,were never more numerous than" theywere last year and tho year preceding.Fish Commissioner Blaokford, who madethe study of Ush and fish culture a life-work, assorts that the idea that men-daden men ruin the fishing, is all bosh.He says that the menhaden men do notcatch a one-thousandth part of thoswarms of mossbunkers, and that thedisappearance of any kind of ocean flalimust be' attributed to some other causebeaido the menhaden fishery.

• • *—Tho man who doesn't have much luckin fishing Is always guro there must beeomo cause for it, and the easiest way toexplain poor luck is to attribute it to ascarcity of fish oaused by tho "men-haden . pirates." The fact, howovor, re-mains, that nil along shore last year fishwere uncommonly plentiful, and at An-bury Park ocean foiling was excellent.It was only last week that a resident ofAsbury Park told me he had never gonofishing on tho ocean pier but he caughtat least three or four good-sizod klug-fleh, and that he had caught as mnny ustwelve or fifteen in ncouplo.of hours;and his statement of tho sxcellent fish-ing Is borno out' by tho, fishing Uonm Inlast summer's Anbury Pork papers. Thornenhadon fishermen aro pursuing alegitimate business. The outcry agauiBttheir business, becnuso some fluhprmonhas hod poor luok, Is about ai Bousolesaos it is nelllsh. '

* * *Yesterday morning Chief of Police

James Norman pSid a visit to tbe Globehotel and held a seance with El wood C.Richardson. In the course of bis re-marks Mr. Norman Baid that the peopleof the town did ndt know where to placeMr. Richardson, Hia business as a hotel-keeper'neceBa'tated hia selling rum, andhis action on Monday in advocating andworking for the election of a temperanceboard of commissioners seemed to bediametrically opposed to hia everydaywork. And this seems to the opinion ofthe people, who supported the regularticket on Monday.

. ' ' • . • . • « • • •

Tbe Standard had an editorial lastweek stating that the town electionwould take place on Tuesday and that'William Cullington would be defeatedfor a reSlection. because Texas wouldvote against him to a man, Of courseMr. Cullington was triumphantly re-eleoted and a majority of. the Texanvoters, under' the leadership of MayorNorman, voted for the old board gener-ally and Mr. Cullington particularly.Owing to the email circulation of theStandard its statement that the electionwould take place on Tuesday did notmislead many people. So far as isknown only one man was deceived as tothe time of the election and he wasFrank Shultz, the itinerant tea venderof South street. He did not vote onMonday. After the polls were closed hewas seen by one of the supporters of thoold board and was told that the electionwas over and that the old board hadwon. . '

4 Why, the election is to be held to-morrow," Baid Mr. Shultz. "I saw it sostated in the editorial columns of theStandard last week." • •• . •

'I don't care what you saw in theStandard," replied the upholder of theold board; Jitho-election was-held-to-day ; the polls are closed, we have won,and you Lave lost your vote. If youwant to be reliably informed as to whatis going on in the town you want toread THE IteaiSTEit;" and with this re-mark the advocate of the old board wentto his supper, leaving Mr. Shultzwrapped" in the gloom of his ownthoughts, ,

Tbe appointment of Wm. T. Corlioa oawater commissioner gives general satis-faction. He has: been so long connectedwith the town and identified with its in-terests, that his name carries with it anassurance that the duties of the officewill be faithfully performed. He servedseveral years as commissioner of BedBank, and has been connected withmany of the organizations of the town.In fact, he has filled, and is at presentfilling, so many positions in various or-ganizations that the only man who cancompare .with him in this respect, isWin. Cullington. There is scarcely abusiness or social organization in thetown in which one or both of tliesa mendo not" hold office. The fact that theyboth hold so many places of trust andhonor shows the respect and esteem inwhich they are held i>y their closest as-sociates,

* * *There is a difference of opinion as to

the amount of money Gen. Haight willget this year for his services us prosecu-tor. The last legislature passed a lawgiving prosecutors in counties of thesecond class a salary of $1,500 in lieu offees. Many of the big legal lights ofthe state have been asked about the law.hut there JBs_wide-differencexif-opinion;some think the law applies only to Warren county, while others believe its pro-visions extend to Monmouth county also,winch is a second class county. In caseit is decided that Prosecutor shall getthis salary instead of fees, the emolu-ments of his office would bo cut downabout fSOO.

A POOR-HOUSE STEWARD.A L-wmilt In Prospect to Determine

Who Shall Have tbe Ofllce.At the last session of the legislature a

law was enacted ordering that where apoor-houBe was owned in common bytwo' or more townships the office ofsteward, should go to each township inrotation. This was a bill aimed especiallyat tho poor-house owned by Holmdel,Matawan nnd Raritan townships. Fora number of years past, Raritan andHolmdel townships have crowded Mata-wan out, and have yenr after year elect-ed the steward fronvone or the other ofthono two townships. At the regularmeeting on Monday of lost week Mr.Magee, of Holmdel, who was the stew-ard last year, declared that the new lawcame into effect only at tbis meeting,and that consequently it was perfectlyproper for him to be elected over again.He therefore voted for himself as stew-ard. The Raritan man also voted forMr. Magee, and as these two were in amajority they carried their point. Mr.Close, the overseer of Matawan, town-ship, opposed this arrangement, and thematter will probably be carried to thecourts for settlement, The fact that Mr.Magee haB been steward since the lawwent into effect, is claimed to be n legalbar against his reelection, and as Mata-wan township follows Holmdel in alpha-betical order, it is further claimed thatMatawan is entitled to the stewardshipthis year.

A Runaway.Wm. Conover, of Middletown, left his

team of homes on the street while hedelivered a barrel of apples at HenryKroener's grocery at Long Branch lastWednesday noon. Becoming fright-ened by tho noise of a passing farmwagon the horses started down the Btreeton a run, with the wagon swaying be-hind them. After running some dis-tance they overturned the wagon on thetrack and broke away from it. Theyfinally turned into Thus. W. Cooper Bgarden, where one horse fell over a wirefence and the runaway was ended, Thepole of the wugon ana parts of the har-ness were broken, and several barrels ofapples were sprinkled along the street.

Red Bank, gave a May party to a num-ber of her friends. The party was heldin an appropriate spot across tho river.The children had a very pleasant day.Those who attended the pnrty wore Jes-sie Bussel, May Busuel, Laura Bumol,Florence Dennis, Maude Dennis, LauraKetcbam, Ada -Burrowea, Goo.

Hme. Dtss Debar, the now famousspiritualistic fraud whose trtojn are be-ing exposed in a Hew York court, spentthe summer of 1883 at Morganville, nearMatswan. She, with her children, occu-pied a house there, and those who came

, ID contact with her say she looked lik'eanything but a king's daughter. Shemu very fond of apple whiskey, which•he got from Conover's still near by, andwhen she left there were several whoretained mementos In the shape of un-paid bUlav Among those whom shefailed to pay was Haboney, the vegeta-ble man. who now keeps a place on Firststreet, Keyport, and she also forgot tosettle with the grocer and baker at Mor-gan villa. We also believe that she drankmore apple whiskey than she paid for,and her children were allowed to runabout bare-footed, ragged and dirty.

Where Worst Drinking Is Found.(From toe Provitltnct Journal.)

-, It it a noticeable fact that the greut-eet evils from the liquor traffic seem toexist in Btates like Delaware and Colo-rado, where they have low license andslight penalties, and in prohibitionstates; this leads to the conclusion thatlow license and slight penalties is not sovery different from prohibitory law inits workings.

REUBEH'S VIOLIN.

It was a legacy from the father whodied before Reuben wad ten years old,and left him to the care ot Uncle Josiah,the brother of Reuben's longdoad mother.Tbe strongest memory Reuben retainedof faia father was a mind-picture of awhite-haired man, .sitting up in bed,with the beloved violin in his bands,filling tbe poor attio room with sweetsounds. Be was partially paralyzedeven then, and later, when his fingersbecame helpless, his heart broke, and hedied.

Thon Undo Josiah came from thecountry to the great city, and took thelad borne. At the bottom of the hairtrunk containing all Reuben's possessionswas safely stored the. violin and case,with a store of music the dead musicianbad left his boy.

On tbe farm in Jersey Reuben founda rough, kindly welcome. Aunt Follycried a little over the orphan ; Sue andJennie, kindly maidens, kissed andca-teesed him; and Daisy, pretty, flossy-haired Daisy, whose blue eyes were like

- twin violets, stole shyly up to the dark-haired lad and slipped a slice of cake inbis hands. It was a busy hive", the oldfarm-house, where no drones foundplace. --'•• \_ Uncla Joaiah disapproved altogetherof the violin. Never bad he heard of afiddler plowing a Held or, raising stock.Never Lad he seen any practical goodoome from scraping cat-gut, and morethan once instant destruction was threat-ened to Reuben's one pleasure.. Be grewafraid to raise the sweet sounds he lovedinside the farm-bouse, and would Btealaway to praotioe the lessons bis fatherhad taught him by the brook-side, in thewhispering woods, or tbe shady lanes.. Nobody loved bis violin but Daisy.Daisy would softly touch the strings,and listen with parted lips and shiftingcolor when Kauben woke the spirit otmusic with his bow. Sue and Jenniedid not object to a good lively dancetone; but only Daisy would followReuben into the world where dreamsfloated Into the sweet melodies, and thebow and strings talked in music's ownlanguage. Daisy alone knew of thelonely walks with tbe dear companion,and Daisy's lip would quiver and herbios eye fill, when the by whispered inher ear of hiB heart hurjger.

Tears passed away, and tbe boy be-came a man. :

"Scarcely worth ,his.*salt," UncleJosiah pronounced him, and yet lovedhim well for his gentle obedience, hiswillingness to perform any task, how-ever distasteful. '

"A dreamy gawk, in everybody's way,"Bne and Jennie said, butsaved the choic-est bits of the dainty country fare forBeuben.

"A poor, weakly body," Aunt Pollysaid, and her touch was soft on Reubensbah-, while she sighed gently, convincedthat the pale cheeks would never growround or rosy, but " likely rest underthe daisies," she thought pityingly.

. Only Daisy really understood the sen-sitive nature, the tender heart, tbe starv-ing, longing intellect. Only Daisy

1 when the long, delicate handsid and bled over rough work, and

would never harden. Only Daisy, asmaidenhood came, shrined Reuben inber heart of hearts, and knew no 'othercould ever take his place.

Only Daisy filled Reuben's heart. OfBU the rough life around him, there wasonly one gentle influence to keep hisheart from breaking. The fair, blue-eyed girl, with hair like floss silk, aloneunderstood him when he talked of tbebooks he borrowed from the minister,and eagerly perused. Daley alone kepthim from the utter despair of hoart lone-liness. •

80 these young hearts in eleven longyews loomed the story of mutual trust,nmtaal dependence, sympathy, tender-ness and devotion, which we call love.Oo tho day Reuben was twenty-one, hetold Uncle Joslab he loved Daisy, andTJnclB Joalab sadly shook his head.

"You'll never be. able to keep a wife,Beubeu." ho said. "Never! "I loveDally too well to trust her to you IWhy, lookat it, lad. you've never earnedft full day's wages glrjco you camo to thefarm.

Here he satupon a huge stons and played hU fare-well, a dirge of hope. Great tears fellover bis pale cheeks, as tbe wierd mebuvoboly strains' echoed through the spacearound him. Then be wrapped the vio-lin onoe, twice in bis arms, kissed it ten-derly, and lifted it hitch -in the air to•mash it on tbe rock But bis heartfailed him I ni» arm dropped nervelessat his side, and he stood motionless,looking Badly at hU father's legacy.' Suddenly there stepped Into the opeuing an elderly man, gray-haired anddark-eyed, ana dressed in city-cut attire.

"So you would smash your violin?"be said. '<Tou had better Bell it, or bet-ter Btill play on it. Was it yon I heardplaying as I came through the woods?"

"Yes. 1 was bidding my violin fare-well . ' , ' - - -

"H'ml Play again for me."Gladly Reuben lifted his violin and

drew the bow across i t" I will play you the ' Carnival of the

Birds,'" he said, and there arose uponthe air a twittering chorus, here a sauoytrill, there a busy chirp, then a roulade,till the very air seemed alive with song-sters, while under all a sweet melodythrobbed and melted into softest strains.

•' Ibis is the brook's hymn," Reubensaid, and the rippling stream was mockedand echoed in quaint fantasle of music,

"Who wrote these?" the strangerasked. •

"They were never written. Theycame from my heart," was the reply. Iwill play you some written music."

And again the violin obeyed the bowas the works iKeuben had studied frombis father's music rose upon the summerair.

"And you were about to break yourviolin?" the atranger said.

"Yes,-for I can never be a farmerwhilejny brain_is Jull of niusio," was,the sad reply.

"Ahl You want to be a farmer,then. Would you not rather be a musi-cian?"

Reuben's eyes glistened. Long he andthe city stranger talked, and the sunwaa setting when he turned homeward,

" Uncle Josiah," he said, when all thechores were done, and the farmer restedon the moonlit porch, "if in a year Ican bring you proof that I can supportDaisy, will you give her to me?"

" I will," was the hearty reply.'' Have you broken your fiddle, Reuben ?"

" No; and I ana going to leave you to-morrow. I have been offered work intbe city."

"Work in the city I Well, lad, itmay be that you are too peaked for farmwork, and will find it easier there. But,remember, ii you fail, there's always ahome for you here, Reuben."

Reuben grasped the hand stretchedout to him in his long, slender fingers,and his sobbing, "God bleas you, sir,"came from his very heart.

Not even to Daisy did he tell his newhopes, but be bade her be faithful, andwhether he succeeded or failed, hewould return at tbe end of the year.

When he took, his place in the stagecoach for' tbe railway station, his newfriend whom he had met in the fairyring was by his side.

Little Daisy kept her heart true.Every market day, when the farmercame from town with his great wagonempty, he took from his pocket a letterfrom Reuben for Daisy, and everyonewas hopeful. His work was pleasantand was paying him well. Some of tbeletters were dated New York, some Bos-ton, some Philadelphia, and when wintercame Reuben wrote from all the greatoities, even New Orleans, and Daisy'sheart throbbed high with loving delight,to feel sure that his love was true amidthe gay Bcenes that be described and thenew friends he met.

Never did he write of the nature ofhis work, Only that it prospered.

Winter sped away. Spring blossomsbloomed and fell, and the end of theyear was drawing near. A letter cameto Uncle Joaiah.

"Will you bring Daisy to New York," Reubenwrote," and Judge for yourself of my prospects 1"

And Uncle Josiah, after lone consul-tation with Aunt Polly, concluded to go.Daisy had a new dress of soft whitemuslin made, and bought a dainty strawbat in tho village. Then Uncle Joaiahwrote to Reuben by what train to ex-pect him, and the fateful journey com-menced.

Reuben was not at tho depot, but inhis place was a courteous gentleman,who explained to Uncle Josiah that bianephew was detained by business, tookthe travellers to a hotel, "where theirrooms were engaged, and waited whilethey bad supper. Then.telling themthat he would take them to Reuben, heput them into a carriage and droverapidly to a white building, whose widehail was brilliantly illuminated. Herewell-dressed men and ladies in full even-ing toilettes were entering in crowds.Reuben's friend led Uncle JoBiab andDaisy to a seat in the brilliant hall, neara platform, and told them Reuben wouldcome Boon.

In Daisy's hand he put a programme,and she wonderingly read of the musicaltreat in store for her, only vaguely com-prehending it all. On every side thebuzz of conversation bore the name ofthe great L , the famous violinist,whoBe Cremona Beemed gifted withspeech under the touch of Bui inspiredfingers.

It was like a dream. A white-robedlady came upon the platform and sang,a* gentleman played a solo upon thepiano. Then there was a great noise ofpeople clapping their bands and stamp-ing with their feet, fairly bewilderingpoor, country .bred Daisy.

A great bush, and softly, familiar asa mother's voice, there fell upon Daisy'sear the notes of a violin, bearipg outupon the air the melody of Reuben'B"Carnival of the Birds."She looked up then, and met the soft

dark eyes of her lover watching her faceas he drew his bow aorosa tbe strings.Not a sound, but the music of thq won-drouB, violin broke the stillness of thevaat room, where one man's genius heldthe crowd spell-bound.

It WOB over, and the groat violinistbowed and was gone. Again the deaf-ening, tumultuous applause, and Reubenwas back again, playing an air unfa-miliar to Daisy, but seeming to answerall the deep joy of her soul,

Twice Reuben played, recalled eachtime, and then the concert was over,and their 'escort led Uncle Josiah backto the carriage, Daisy clinging fast tohlflarm7~At~the~<looirbf their private"parlor the new friend bade them good-night, and opening the door tbey stoodface to race with Reuben. Not the pale,sod boy of a year ago, but a man, self-reliant, glad and noble, one who hadfound his life-work and was doing itwell. •

Uncle Josiah found the strap of hisglove moat unmanageable while Reubenclasped Daisy.In his arms, and low,tender worde fell from the lips of both,.

But when Rouben, clasping Daisy Btill,held out his band, (he former grasped ithard. v

" No doubt I was an old fool, Itcuben 1"he said; "but I'm not too old to learn t"

And Reuben, over tho dainty supper(bat was presently servetrf told thembow bis violin bad won him famo andgold, more than Uncle Josiah hod lm-igiiied one man could earn in ten years,
