the Nomlnatinn of Mr. Taylor fbr Mayor The Cara May Rkbald is in receipt of communlcat^Mi which reads as follows: Cape May. N. J.. Aug. 18. 1805. Editor Car* Mar RmaLD, Osar Sir:—1 noticed. In yonr valuable ablicarioo of last week that yon menoned several candidates for mayor, and stated that Jas. E- Taylor waa spoken of for this office. I sm at a lose to know why i paper of yonr standing should urge the nomination of Mr. Taylor for this office. The writer, wuo has always bepe a Republican through thick aod thin. Relieve* that it la an Injustice to the Republican party that Mr. Taylor should be mentioned for this office or any other In the gift of the party. He ha* never been a Republican except when It was for hta own Interest or for the Intesest of thoee connected with him in their effort* to gain political adMr Taylor's r-x- .pi is well ibd be not oniy supported the Democratic candidate for Slate Senator, Edward li Rice, two years a*o. bat In 1888 was an ardent supporter of Ismael K. Miller. Democratic candidate for Stole .tor. as against Robert E. Hand, who thin the Republican candidate, noderitond that Taylor was at that time miffed at Mr. Hand because he waa given the po*tm*»tersblp of Cape May city. He alsofftoithe credit of supporting the Democratic candidates for sheriff aod county clerk last year, and with anch a record as this he has a great deal of forwardness to ask a Domination at the hands of the party It will be distasteful for g.eat many xtralght out Kspnbllcans to have to vote for him again aod thay may i sometime* better for • dtlsen to vote for a good member of th* oppoaitiou than a bad member of their own ranks.
