MR. EDITOR:—John F. Hall ia thiDemocratic candidate for CongressWho is John F. Hall ? Let me thinkOh, yes, yes, I remember, DOW. Hecame to Atlantic County about twent;years ago, a school teacher—a Eepublican, and was thought to be a good sortof fellow. But all of a sudden he disappeared from the ranks; no longeranswered "here" at roll call of teacharsand those that knew him have knownhim no more. So the name seemecstrange when announced as the nomineefor Congress, by the Democratic con-vention. Alas ! Alas! that he shouldhave fallen eo low. He essayed to baan editor, editor of a Democratic paper.But as Democracy has no principles, ex-cept free trade, to defend, he soon learnedall there was to learn as a democraticeditor, the vilification, standee, misrep-resentation, and all the vocabulary olGrub Street, and for this is he set upas acandidate for Congress. Oh, what afall was there from a decent pedagogueto a Democratic candidate for Congress-man. Let every voter vote for the manwho has grown up instead of down,Hoq. John J. Gardner, tried, and foundto be a man. B.

The attack of the Democrats uponPresident McKinley's administration ofthe war and their howl against the "ex •pansion" policy, have practically sus-pended negotiations. The Spanish Com-missioners are desirous to delay settle-ment until after election. Naturallythey desire to await the verdict of theconstituencies before they elect to pur-sue or to abandon their present courseof contemptuous neglect of the termsof the protocol, wrung from them atSantiago on July 1, and in front ofSantiago cm July 3. The Spanish di-plomats seem to be standing in with thoDemocratic obstructionists. Prettypicture, isu't it? Nice party-to ash fortho support ot tho American people I

Don't bo deceived by tho stuff sentout and carried around, by Johu F.Hall, relating to Hon. J. J. Gardner.That's Hall's stock in trade. When aDemocrat has no principles to defend,ho niuHt do something, but how hardup he ruuot bo to go about tho districtpeddling such stuff. That,- though, isabout his calibre.

Tlio policy of President McKlnleymust be unstained. To ensure this,every Republican should vote Ilia wholeRepublican tickut, Voorhecn, Gardner,KVIUIS, nnd Ashley.

CKOGKED JOE

ACHEAT railroad depot may notbe the best school for a boy, yetpoor little Joe Bryan bad scarce-

ly known any other. He could not re-pejnber when -the long waiting roomswith their tiled! floors and dreary rows6f stationary settees, and crowds olburrying people, were not rjralte as fa-jjjlHar to him and more bomellfce thanhis mother's small, bare house, whichlie knew as little more than a place foreating and sleeping.

He had been only six months old,wben a dreadful accident happenedWhich, at one fell stroke, fljade.himfatherless and transformed him from afltrong, well-developed infaat to a piti-ful creature, which even death, refusedto take.

"Engine No. 110 running wild. Clearthe trad;."

He rushed to the door shouting thenews. .

"Not a second to sp.are! She'll hidown In seven minutes!"

'J'lie words passed like lightning. Iia moment the yard was in a wild comrnnrion. Mou Hew hither anil tliitheryard engines steamed wildly away, thoswitches closing behind them.

Some hundred rods beyond the depotthe track took a. sharp upward grade,from which it descended again to strikethe bridge across a narrow but deep

"They're gone! A miracle can't save"em," saJd one, voicing the wordlessterror of the rest. "If they don't flythe track on the up grade, they'll godown as soon as they strike the tres-tle."

The crowd began to run along thetrack, some with a vain Instinct ofhelpfulness, some moved by that mor-bid cariosity which seeks to be "In atthe d,eath."

But lookl Midway the long rise thespeed of the runaway engine suddenlyslackens.

does It mean? She nevercould 'a' died out in that time" shout-•ed an old yard man.

Excitement winged their feet. Whenthe foremost runners reached the placethe smoking engine stood still on hertrack, quivering in every steel cladnerve, her great wheels still whizzinground and round amid a flight of redsparks from beneath.

"Who did it? Who stopped her?"The engineer,' staggering from tbt

cab, with the pallid face of the firemanbehind him, pointed, without speaking,to where a little, pale-faced, crooked-backed boy had sunk down, pantingwith exertion, beside the track.

At his feet a huge oil can lay over-turned and empty.

"Just about the time the war withSpain broke out," remarked the veteran•drummer, "I started on a trip throughthe mountain towns of West Virginiaand Kentucky. Great enthusiasm wasmanifested everywhere in that landivi'here there is so little of the eventful,and what struck me peculiarly was thenervous anxiety of the women. Theywere enthusiastic, of course, in a way,but they wanted other women's menfolks to go to the war, .not their own.One of the mountain girls 1 had knownsince my trip of last season, and whenI got back I expected to find ber mar-ried to the young fellow who had beensparking her for a long time. Whenmet her at ber mother's where I tookdinner, I thought I would Jolly her abit on her sweetheart.

" 'By the way, Susan,' I said,heard down In Slabtown as I camethrough this morning that Jim had en-listed and'was going to the front withthe first companies sent away.'

" 'Is that so?* she replied in that pe-culiarly .Indifferent way commonamong rustics. >

" 'Yes, and there's a chance yonwon't see him again as the company isordered to leave immediately.'

" 'Is that so?" and she never stoppedher swinging of a peachtree branchthat she was using as a fly-brush.

" 'Don't ypu want to see him beforebe goes?' I asked with mncb dramaticeffect, thinking I might move her thatway.

"She laughed a low saw-mill buzz,'dcd of a laugh.

" 'Law, Mr. Barton,' she said, 'youdon't think I'm a-beltevin' what you airsay in' about Jim Short, do ye? Well,I ain't. Do you reckon I'd be greenenough to think that a feller that wouldspark a gal fer four years and was toocowardly to even try to hug her on asummer night in the full of the moon,had sand enough in his craw to Jlnethe army?

SHE COULDN'T KISS GRANT,

Lieutenant Hobson

Tlie General's Wife Refuses the Favor•to a raratoga Belle,

The kiss whichheroically received from a St. Louislady at Long Beach recalls an Incidentin which the late- General U. S. Gmnitfigured, without, however, sliarlng theblushing hoiior. Just after the cloneof the civil war General Grant, withhis family, went to the Union Hotel ntSaratoga Springs. Major William W.Li'laud, tin; proprietor of the hotel, hadbeen chief commissary on the Gener-al's stall'. He gave a banquet to Gener-al Grant and his wife. Mauy olllcerswho were from the Army of the Ton-iieHseo were present, as well ua severalprominent citizens.

During the dinner the guests weresomowhut uturtK'd to HIK! n Saratogabelle advance, with a gracious Grecianbend, and .'ink permission of the Gen-eral to kiss him. There wao only onothere who received the General's mi-lute. To that high portion he now de-ferred. Turning, he suld, "With Mr«.Uram's ]K>nulfiBlop."

Mrs. fJn;nt nad, as every ono oi»-Hiu'vcdj a drooping lid. Hhe was oblig-ed, therefore, to throw back her headto get a |.-ooil look at t l ie audacious sup-plicant, who now had not only the eyctiof all the distinguished compnny onher, but those of the other Riuislit of th«UoU'l us well.

'Lone Comca 'Liza witli the Broom.Just as soon's I get to playin'

Trouble's in for me—my stars!'Loni; comes 'Liza with the broorot

"Look out now, I've lots to do;Clear your duds out of my way—

Can't be bothered here by you!"

Then I think I'll try the stoop:So I move us meek's n lamb.

Get to playin' nice as ever—Out comes 'Liza's broom, ker-sluml

"Come now, boy—you're in my way I"Out she flies. "I've got to sweepl"

My Noah's ark, my cars, and meAll go tumbling in a heap.

"Want to sweep me off the earth?"That's how I tolk back to her;

But It's not a mite of good—'Liza comes with such a whir,

Sweepin' dust right in my face,That I have to cut an' run,

Glad to hurry from a place,Where there'e not n bit of fun!

When I have a little boy,He shall play just where he likes,

Llttcrin' trp the kitchen floorAll he wants to, makin' kites,

Pastln' scrap-books, playin' caro—Jollicst place in all the town;

There sha'n't be a "Liza thenAlways bossin" my boy roun'I

Plant Blooms Like Birds'.Besides those curiosities the kangaroo

and the boomerang, Australia has aplant that grows blossoms so like birdsthat they often deceive unwary visi-tors. This peculiar bit of vegetationIs known as the "bird-pea," and thebush grows to a height of from three tofive feet. The picture will give you agood idea of how closely the blossoms

THE mitn m.ossou.resemble little members of the featherytribe. The plant grows close to theshore of Roebuck bay, In Western Aus-tralia, and Its blossoms nre much soughtif tcr. They are 'of n greenish hue,striped with brown. Not far awayfrom the bird blossoms may be found

roH of poroun rocks covered withrode oystera, which aro submerged athigh t ide but lie exposed when the tiderecedes, and there a huiixr.V boy mightHud oysters enough to keep him In foo7for I lie re:«: of hbi days.

MOUSE ON A MOUNTAIN TOP.

3 trail go Discovery by Climbers on theSummit of St. Helens.

When the vanguard of the Mazamaexpedition to the summit of Mount 8t.Helens arrived at the top of the moun-tain they moved some of the fragmentsDf rocks to getat the box containing therecord of mountain climbers who hadreached the peak. This disturbed amouse that had his habitation in thatiesoiate spot, and to escape from themen who were taking such unauthor-ized liberties with his home he left thetwo or three square yards of rocks andscampered out over the snow thatstretched an unbroken surface awayon all sides. There he was • easilycaught, and Charles H. Sholes broughttho timid creature back to Portlandwith him. The mouse took kindly tohis new environment and is alive andflourishing now, not having sufferedany appreciable discomfort by thegreat change In the altitude of his abid-ing place The top of the mountain Isnearly 10,000 feet above the sea.

The rodent is described as ratherlarge for a woodmouse, having" verylarge ears and a very long tall, beingthe usual mouse color above and whiteunderneath. He IE active and silent, butwatchful. He Is believed to be of thesame kind as the mouse found a few

One of the beat things In theGospelof Jesus Is tho stress It lays on smallthings. It ascribes more virtue to quali-ty than quantity; It teaches that God

T. H. Gardner, O. 0. Yocum andJonathan Humphrey, woo made theascent of Mount Hood recently, report-ed that they saw a pine squirrel on thetop ot the mountain, much to their as-tonishment. The squirrel Is said tohave been on the mountain about twoweeks and seemed to be well fed andlively, though what he finds to live onthere Is a mystery. The climate andscenery will suffice for a large degree ofsatisfaction at that solemn height, butstomachs, even of mice and squirrels,are supposed to require somethingmore than n charming aspect—MorningOregonlan.

Republican Ticket.

' For Governor,

Foster M. Voorhees.For Congressman,

Hon. John J. GardnerOf Atlantic City.

For State Senator,.Lewis Evans,

For Assemblyman,Leonard H. Ashley,

For Coroner,Lemuel'-Wootton.

Some people pretend to misuoderstantour claim ibat it is the patriotic dutyof every ciiizen to vote tor the entireRepublican ticket, this year. We insistupoo it that we are right. It is theduly otevory patriot to support Presi-dent MeKiuley in his efforts to securefor the United States every advantagewhich our army and navy have won bybravery and skill. After the PeaceCommission has finished its labors, andmade'its report, the approval of Con-gress will be necessary to make it effect-ive. Then Congress will need to appropriate tiiuuey to maintain an in-creased uriuy aud navy, to auatuiu thuadministration of affairs in our uuwlyacquired doiuuiii. Already we Uttveseen indications that a Democratic Con-gress will do its worst to hamper aRepublican administration in its recon-structive measures for Cuba, 1'orto Rico,and the Pinllippiues. Give either branchol Congress to the opposition, und chaoswill follow. It is easy to understand,from this, that our Uepubhcun cundidutfor Congress should bu returned to dutyfor two years more.

But the United States Senate busbeuu so nearly evenly divided that onlyby sbrewd and puttuul labor has theKupubllcan majority been enabled tocurry its beat measures. Senator JunicsSmith, of this Slate, will retire Hunyear unless our State Legislature ismude Democratic and re-elects him forsix yi-urB more of obstructive tactics.Il Republican voters m Atlantic undother cuuiitloa vote their own ticket uudretain a Republican Legislature, lion.John KI-UII, or noun) equally good Iriondol 1'icbldtnt JVlcKlnloy, wilt be chosenbenulor, uud New Jeruuy will Imvo againproven bur loyalty.

To put it more plainly, If LewisKvuim is clceud Mlulo Sunalor, andLeonard 11. AnbKiy nindu AuHurnblyii ian,they will cum two VOLUH lor a Ro|)ubli-cuii U m lull titalcn Senator, who will, laturn, vouilotiUHtaml'ruiu'duutMcKiiili 'yin lilo ell'oi IH to Hcuuru lor uu thu lu l l ru-slilis ol our victory over 9jnxln.

Duemi't that iwilio It plain that hewho'voius Hut Utipubllcau ticket votcHlouuotiii i i the J'rubtilunl V Then ho who,or noinu purttomil reauon, neglectb to

vole, or VOIOH tho oppuHition ticket,UOOH (t int uu Iur as a voter cull In bin op-multlou to thu National administration.

Senator Scnlth and his aides urodoin^ielr bcut to win, and working wmoly.ven one proloHHuilly Hiipubllcan pupur

n this County has huen uecured In, uldI llmlr cuiitii!, and boulnulnic with ai)poi:rlllcal ory that tliti bout man forAuneiublymun hud not boon nominated,

icu lliu editor would not uilppdit him,hut [lapur IH now publ lHl i l i iK iinony-IOIIH ruimmnilciiUuiit t iiiiiporllii^ to/mo Iron) lC(i | iul) l lcunn In viu'loun purtnI tho Coiinly, wblch endoiivor to <l ln-

bear fruit. Tho claim of Republicanism In such a sheet is too flimsy to hidthe weightier motives.

Of course Democrats anoT EEelr allieare delighted to find an apparent!weak .spot in Mr. Gardner's armorThey say he did not vote for the Cubaindependence resolutions. Right; he dinot,—properly objecting to vote for thfirst clause which said the Cuban peopl"are, and of riyht ought to be free.Mr. Gardner eald: "If they are free, whave no need to aid them, the resolutionare uncalled for aud we will becomridiculous in the eyes of the world.But he did vote to appropriate all thmoney the President asked for, and favortd every uioasure for a vigorous prosecut'on of the war under Mr. McKinleydirtelioD.

Mr. Voorhees' canvass of South Jersey has been productive of great goodIt has dissipated much of the apathjwhich had marked the campaign inthis section prior to his visit, and hagiven the people a most favorable iffi,pression of the Republican candidatfor Governor. Mr. Voorhees nmkefriends wherever be goes, and what 1:equally important he stirs up interesin the campaign, which will be ogreat assistance in getting" out thevote. With a full vote, the Republlcan majority in South Jersey will biall that could be expected, and webelieve a spirit has been aroused whichwill pfoduce~that result.

The Jimsmith campaign fund, saidto be a fat one, is being distributedin those counties where there is anapparent possibility of electing Democratic, candidates for the legislatureWonder what Atlantic County's shareis. You remember that a 'Democraticleader remarked, "We nominated MrDoughty to elect him." Then noticehow the campaign is being conductedand you can form some idea wherethe boodle alighted.

The ruce'tracK gamblers and theirfriends die hard. Not satisfied withthe decision of • the Supreme iCourthat the late anti-race-traek gamblingamendment to the constitution waslegally adopted, they havo recentlyappealed the case to the Court oErrors.

The merchant princes of to-day,With fortunes nmilp completely,

Are those who curly found the wayTo advertise discreetly.

Advertising Fnkcs.The merchants of every town arfi

suncoed out of hundreds of dollars an-nually by advertising fakirs. Thedirectory fake, the storoopticon fake,the bill l>oard fake aud a hundred otherfakes are repealed on business menrear In and year out, nnd the moneynight as well bo burned up ns far as:he return It brings them. - Even news-papers engage in the bunco business,ind because merchants reap no benefitfrom the money expended In the fraud-ulent schemes they lose 1'arth in adver-•Jslng and denounce the whole bust-less. Legitimate newspaper ndvertls-ng Is the only means of reaching thepeople. It has-been tested In a thou-sand ways.

Ink Dropa.If you don't advertise your goods no-

body else will.It Is not always thp largest ad that

arlugs the largest trade.The big advertisers who kept up their

advertising through the hard times allmade money.

Better be well advertised and under-stocked than under-advertised andaver-stocked.

The amiable, affable, cahdid fellowjells, more goods than the otheY fellows:!;>. So of good-natured, st/aightfor-ward ads.

What you say about ^o/r goods tothe uian that comes into your store, if5.ild in the local newspaper, will makemore men come In to buy.

Until you climb the business hill youcannot go coasting merrily down theother side. Nothing helps the climbinglike good, strong advertising. ^

In the mind of the reader there Is anassociation of Impressions between anattractive ad and attractive goods, lieassumes one from the other.

Your store Is known by the ads youprint Be careful to make them as at-tractive as your show windows, and usfull of honest merit as the goods yousell.

"Women read the ads with more in-terest than tlin news," it has been said.Why not? What's more Interesting tothe buying head of the family thanuews from the selling world?

WEAPONS OF THE FILIPINOS.

These Island Savages Are Very Skill-ful In Their Use.

Before the people of Spain and someAmericans began to bestow firearms onthe Filipinos they relied entirely ontheir deadly knives. These knives—daggers and krlses as they are called—are exceedingly nasty weapons In thehands of artists. Every savage racehas Its own style of knife. The Fil-ipinos have one or two which are pecu-liarly Interesting.

These savages are wonderfully skill-ful In handling their strange weapons,as the Spanish know now, and theAmericans will probably learn later.They arc small in size, but, like theApache, are strong, full of enduranceand bold enough to oppose their primi-tive weapons to those of the moat mod-ern make. The knives are small, flnelycarved and highly prized. They areuiuch sought by curio hunters.

Perhaps the most deadly of all thePhilippine weapons are the daggers car-ried by the chiefs. These are made ofIron, mostly of a poor quality, nnd areabout eighteen Inches long. They are

Thousands of bottles were given tothe masters of both American and for-eign vessels with a request that theyshould be thrown overboard when faiout at sea. Prior to being sent on Itatravels tho master was to Insert a slipof paper In the bottle containing hisexact latitude and longitude, as well asthe time at which the bottle wasthrown overboard. The bottle also con-tained a notion printed In six differentlanguages ank!ng the under to recordthe hour nnd place at which the bottle-was reccoiered and to then return thoslip ar/(l papers to the olllcers of thedepartnionf at Washington. <••

The bWt'lo having the longest driftwas recovered on March 20, 1898, hav-ing sailed 4,700 knots since Nov. 10,1800, when it waa thrown overboard.During all this time tho average num-ber of knots covered a day was 9.5. An-other bottle thrown overboard In Sep-tember, 18M, and recovered In Slay,1807, had Balled -1,500 knots, an averageof 4.5 a day.

The greatest record of all, however, ISthait of a Ixittle thrown over from thnsteamer Sutherland, which drifted 4,0(10knots between Mnivh 11, 181)7, tintlSept. H following, u period of 181 day«,the average d r i f t per day being 22.7knots.

Bandied $3,000,OOO,OOO for tbo Gov-ernment in One Year.

Jay Cookc, who ' twenty-five yearsago was the principal*in one of thotaost sensational financial failures overknown in this country and who retiredpenniless, is to-day -worth 51,000,000,and to living In good style in Philadel-phia.

Cooke'B career has been full of bigdeals and exciting incidents. He Is a.man who bandied money by the hun-dreds of millions. He was one of theoriginal promoters of the Northern Pa-cific Railway, and during the civil warhe served as fiscal agent for the UnitedStates government, providing it withhundreds of minions of dollars in goldat 'a time when the greatest capitalistsand financiers in the confidence of theadministration were unable to assist It.When the firm of Jay Cooke & Co. wentflown in the panic of 1873 the shockwas felt all over the civilized world.Its Indebtedness was enormous, butevery cent has been pal'd, and eventhose people who Invested' money inCooke's various railway enterprisesand had the nerve to hang on havemade big profits. Mr. Cooke is now aman of 77 -years. He Is alert, vigor-ous, keen nlentally, and shows littletrace of the ravages of time.

Mr. Cooke was born in Sandusky, O.,In 1821. He moved from the sugarcounter of a country grocery store toPhiladelphia to become a banker'sclerk, and at the early age of 18 wasmade the confidential and financial rep-resentative of_E. W. Clark & Co.,Jthej)one of the foremost banklrig'h'ouses ofthe city. Within three years, he be-came a partner in the firm. He mademoney rapidly' for himself and for hispatro'ns. »-i-.-/>— • .

In 1858 he retired from the bankingbusiness and became Interested in largerailroad enterprises, some of them Inthe western part of Pennsylvania aadBorne of them in the great Northwest, aregion dear to his memory and des-tined to become the {.heater of the mostfateful event In his life—the Inceptionof the Northern Pacific Railroad. Dur-ing this period Mr. Coolie negotiatedthe sale of the Pennsylvania State ca-nal, which eventually led to the com-pletion of the Pennsylvania road.

But It Is In connection with the workhe accomplished In raising the "sin1

Gardner and Ashley.

So far as I know there have been nocharges that particularly concern thepeople of Hammonton brought againstVoorheee, Evans, Qr Woottcn, Republi-can candidates respectively for Governor,State Senator, and Coroner. Those olthe opposition have centered all theirefforts on an endeavor to defeat Gardnerand Ashley. The hopelessness ot thecase they try to make out againstGardner is shown by their illogical andunreasoning statements. Their fightagainst Ashley is much more bitter anddetermined, because they believe theycan defeat him by false accusation andby harping on bootless and threadbarestatements of facts. Let us briefly con-sider the so-called argument of the so-called (but nameless and thereforecowardly) correspondents from thevarious voting districts of the County.

It Is claimed that Gardner was un-patriotic Iu not voting for a certain setof Cuban resolutions. Let us see. Twosets of Cuban resolutions were passed:one by the House, tbe other by theSenate. After much time spent in de-bate, tbe House became tired and yieldedto tbe Senate,—all but a very few mem-bers voting for the resolutions in theirfinal form.

What principle was there involved ;or what statement made in these "reso-lutions for which at first a majority ofthe Congressmen would not vote ? lathese resolutions thu following wordsoccuired ; "Resolved, that the peopleof the Island of Cuba, are, and of whoought to be, free and independent."This was a proposition contrary to factin the then present time, and contrary tofact to-day. Tbe people of Cuba werenot free and independent, as is abun-dantly proved by the fact that we wentto war to free tlittu of their oppressors,aud to give theui a stable form of uov-eiumtut: aud moreover they have noright to be tree aud independent. Theyhad the right to be treed from thutyrannous rule of un oppressive and dti-cadont people ; they had absolutely no

to the freedom and independencemeant in HUM assertion, as the logic ofevents bus moat clearly proved.

Independence comes not because oneis u member ol tho human family. It'this were so, then babes, children, aud.wen convicts would have us much rightto freedom uud independence as havumen ol lionuHty, culture and intcllipouco,Freedom in given iiiun by law whenthuy are capitblo of IIHJIIL; it lor theirown well-being wi thout doing <li:npiti> totlio rl«lils ot otlumt.

to-day he is more worthy of the supporof the voters of this district than evebefore, because of his notable record inriver and harbor matters, and his effortto make the labor laws what they oughito be.

It is said that Mr. Gardner on oneoccasion treated the Haramonton dele-gution with discourtesy. This statementis absolutely false. I was one of thatdelegation. We were given an audienceand talked over matters calmly ancjudicially, and all remember tbe inter-view with pleasure because of what welearned, and the, cordial treatment wereceived at the hands of Mr. Gardner.

Nothing is said against either tbecharacter or public life of Leonard H.Ashley. Noble, fearless, absolutelyhonest and incorruptible in the perform-ance of hip public duties, bis calumnia-tors cast all these characteristics of theman aside and say that he is the candi-date of the indefinite "ring," thereforeshould not be supported by independentRepublicans. This statement is alto-gether beside the mark. The voters ofthis county don't want to be told howAshley became the candidate of theRepublican party for Assemblyman ;they are not particularly concerned asto whether or not he is a "hail fellowwell met." The social and jolly mendo nut always nicely discriminate be-tween right and wrong. One cannotalways couut upon sucb a man tochampion tbe cause of truth.

What the voters do want to knowabout Ashley is something as lollnws :if elected, will he do all in his power tosupport tbe administration of PresidentMcKinley ? Will he always vote righton tbe bills brought before tbe legisla-ture ? Will he do all he possibly can toinsure to the people of New Jersey justand atubio laws, to,the cad that we mayprosper and be protected in our rights ?The answers to these questions can befound only in a Study of the characterand record of the man. Many yearstias he served the people. His record'[luring tho War of the Uubelliou ; whilesurviag his Slate us an ofllcer in thoprison at Trouton ; in tho Sheriff's officeat May's Landing ; or wbc.n repretient-ug Atlantic County iu tho Legislature,s beyond criticism. Entering the army

as n private, his bravery won him aCaptaincy. Idolized by his men, inimttlu ho was always u hero. In moralspure, iu character incorruptible, in thoservice of bin country, his state, or hiacounty alikn true, honest, and fearlessn thu performance of every smallest

duty,—above reproach. Such aro thocharacter and record of Leonard II.Ashley. Will eueh a man, with such arecord, now In the time of dirust need,[)rovo fulflii to his constituents It againmnorcd with u Bent In legislative halls'?Jcrtuinly riot I
