The friends of Congressman John J. Gardner say they are well pleased with ' the way in which the campaign for 1 his re-election is working out. They aver that nothing better could have 1 happened than the fact that veterans of the Civil War are finding out that either Qenpal Grubb or his Democratic ' managers deliberately perverted the truth concerning his alleged attack on j the record of the General and the men who fooght in the regiments he commanded in the Civil War. "Even had Air. Gardner possessed ' any doubts as to the personal heroism ' or bravery of General Grubb, he is fsr too much of a man and politician to have expressed it at thiB time," re- | marked one of the Congressman's ( staunch friends. "Air. Gardner was a soldier in the Civil War himself, and . certainly he is not going to place him- 1 self in the light of a critic concerning the personal bravery of amy man who wore a uniform in tn&t great struggle. ' ' The people in this district seem to get but one meaning out of his phase of the campaigu, and that is General j Grubu and his Democratic backers are firmly convinced that they have lost, and have taken this despicable method \ of setting up a breastworks fur a fight ^ at the last diicn. Their fortification is as tnin as paper, and the bullets, (rather ballots) ot Mr. Gardner's . inenos, will puncture it and put the | Democrats on the run. The most apparent trick is General , Grubb's sudden interest in the work- ( ing men. it is a mere sham. He has ( no more interest, in or use for a working man, laborer or artisan, than be has ? for the kings of the various tribes in Africa. ibe General has never taken the trouble to even scrape up a speaking acquaintance with the working men woo have been employed about his place at Edgewater Park. The Trenton True American, which is backing , his candidacy for Oongrees because he is now on the Democratic ticaet, said of him in 1889, when he was a Republican .candidate for Governor, that the iron mines in which he waa interested paid their labor in script which nad to be cashed in at £he Company stores, thus giving the General and others interested in the mine with him a double profit on tbe work of the men whom they employed. SUDDEN CHANuK OF HEART. Geuerai Grubb is not a Democrat at heart. Up to two days before he re- j cetved the Democratic nomination for | Congress he repudiated William J. I Bryan and all his policies and laughed j at the suggestion that he might be elected president. Tbe old lin-, staunch .Democrats' have absolutely no confidence in Gruob as a Democrat. They argue that he is as much of a Republican as ever, and say if they vote for a Republican at all they might as well cast their ballots for Congressman John J. Gardner, who has had many years of experience, j who has made a good record. They do not believe iu casting their ballots ; for an uuknowu quantity. Beside that, many of the old and solid Democrats declare that the plac- | ing of Grubb on the ticket is a blight j on the record of the Democratic party, f'hey argue tha. such action is tanta- 1 mount to saying the Democratic party j has no men in it with a sufficient amount of brains qualified to hold the 1 position. Ibey are greatly displeased, j to put it mildly, and to demonstrate their displeasure will cast their votes against Grubb on election dav. GARDNER'S RECORD GOOD. . It is a known fact that Oonrgessman John J. Gardner is a "son' of toil. It is well known that he has always worked for a living, mingling his public duties with nis work on his "farm, it is be that knows the needs and desires of the working masses, and tbe j , records of Congress will show that it J was he who has dune much to get them relief from the oppression of many capitalists. John J. Gardner is the father of the Light Hour Bill. GARDNER REFUSED A DELAY. When it became known that John J Gardner purposed to introduce the (Continued on Page Four)

JUST STOP i AND CONSIDER BY FOI FINKS Here are the Facte Cmtnfag the tol Estate Cow's Dealings with the City •

People should not allow Uiwreslvt. to be deceived about public luslten. when with a little attention, on discover the facte and be able to taxi - sider them intelligently, lite operations of tbe Cape May Bad Bbtete ' Company here have bean glgbuMt and they are scarcely at the battening of their plans. Their expsndfture of $4,000,000 is being nqpl— mfii by tbe expenditure of $1,200,00$ by the United States Government, and this vast sum is more than tha actual value of the old Cape May at the time " this company became interested here. The comparatively small sums invested by tbe city in its efforts to assist great development have been more than.offeet by ibe free contributions of tbe Cape May Real Estate Company, for tbe assistance of tbe city in aecuring these nedbssary improvements. To secure the sewer outlet in Delaware Bay, the Company paid one-half the cost, $80,700 To secure storm sewers, the Company psid, 10,000 To secure Boardwalk and drive the Company psid, 87,00$ It paid one-half tbe oost of piers erected last summer for the [protection of seawall and beach, solely owned by tbe dty, 1,600 Making s total of $109,800 Donated to the city to assist in the various necessary municipal Improvements. How many real estate companies promoting so large a project would have beep so liberal? In addition to this it most be remembered 1 that TWO-THIRDS OF THE 008T of all sewer construction 00 their proper- ' tjr is paid by there. It rente be re- ' membered, also, that $108, 916 clean cash was put up by the Company to ' secure'the Govennent'a assistance in the harbor project, and it must not be forgotten that of the $106,206.86 as1 sessed for the current year against the propeAy contained within tbe City of | Cape May the property included with' ' in what is known *sb the East Cape Mav tract pays over $20,000 or about ' one-fifth or 20 per centum of the en- ' tire tax assessed against tbe entire ' city and this is DOUBLE THS ' AAIOUNT of the interest upon all of the bonded debt whi;h can be justly 1 charged to the account of East Cape 1 May. The Company has been a large 1 contributor also to every great event which has occurred here. | Consider also that the State Sewer- " i age Commission has recently demanded that all sewage shall be cared for in : I some other way than by discharging it ' into Cape Island Creek and that we 1 j would be up against the proposition : | now, of revolutionizing the sewerage | system, without the assistance of a gift 1 i of $60,000 to help pay for It, if it had ' not already been looked after and made ' to conform with the demand [of the 1 State Commission. 1 In addition to all ot this, it has been through the Real Estate Company and ■ through this agency alone, that we I | have secured the magnificent train ser- ' | vice during the summer on both roads, I I the parlor car accommodations all the | year, the bridge train service for eev- ' [ eral months each season. It is because " j of the Real Estate ^Company's plans - | and expenditures that over a million has been spent by the Pennsylvania - 1 and Reading railroads in making their r lues up-to-date and fit for awift trains . I and heavy traffic. " I The erection of the Hotel Cape May k ' | by these people? is another boon of tre- , J mendous value faT^thia resort. Ac- : knowledged by everybody to be abso- , lutejy the finest hotel on the Atlantic coait, its fame has spread from one end of the country to'the other and its success was phenomenal. All of this 1 advertises Cape May and benefits every business man here. ' There have been also hundreds of the thousands of dollars spent in other ad- • vertising by these capitalists and every . interest in Cape May has benefitted or . will benefit by it. What is the moral | of it all* Simply this ! Nobodv who ' | desires Cape May to progress will ■ | throw obstacles in the way of the Real , Estate Company and its great plana. . Anybody who will take the trouble to look into the matter will discover that the Company is not only living up in ! every detail to all its agreements with the city, but has done much mdre and naid more money to tbe city than it agreed to when it began its operations. To vote men into Council at this Junc- : turc. who desire to get there for tbe purpose of hindering development would be municipal madness.
