REPUBLICAN TICKET. FOR ASSEMBLY: EDMUND LEE ROSS, OF MIDDLE. FOR CORONER: R. CURTIS ROBINSON, OF OCEAN CITY. JULIUS WAY, OF MIDDLE. FRANCIS K. DUKE, OF CAPE MAY CITY.

WHAT a said thing for the country it is that the "next day it snowed." THE New Jersey State Republican League is thoroughly alive to the importance of the issues at stake in this year's elections, and proposes to be in the front of the impending battle. THE Republicans are going into the fight in this country well organized and equipped, and inspired by the certainty of victory. There is no if in the case. We see the triumph, and will all work to make it overwhelming. IT is useless to undertake to laud Edmund L. Ross. Everybody knows he has made a good Assemblyman. His vote has always been on the right side. He fought the race-track legislation last winter, and will vote and work for its repeal. LET every man who is entitled to vote see to it that he does ote at the coming election, no matter what may be the threats of the enemy. The right of

franchise is the dearest heritage of an American citizen and he who is fright-

ened away from exercising it is made of different metal than those who bequeathed it. If you have the right to vote, do so though Lucifer himself stands at the polls and threatens.

THE World's Fair was closed Monday by ceremonies very different in character from those which had been projected. If Mayor Harrison had not been assasinated he would have been at the head of a merry party celebrating the close of a most successful exhibition with speech and song. But almost on the eve of the ceremonial he was stricken down, and the exercises became memorial services for the dead.

THE election of a Democratic Legisla-

ture on the 7th of next month would be regarded as a vindication of the race track legislation of last winter. True, it would be a gerrymandered verdict, but its possessors would revel in their spoils with the zest of those who feel that their course had been approved. The plain lesson is for every man who condemns these iniquitous race track laws to vote in such a way as to aid in the election of a Republican Legislature.

THE people of the State should have their eyes open in the coming election,

says the Paterson Call. The race track bills make a leading issue of the campaign, but by no means the only one. As the Newark Call says, "These bills were only a part of a scheme of legislation which last winter made Jersey men blush with shame. Let the offenses of last winter be overlooked by a too tolerant people, and men who have once offended in fear and trembling will plunge into worse debauchery, assured that they can escape all punishment." NUMEROUS witnesses of the crazy doings of Prendergast, Mayor Harrison's assassin, are now coming to the front. Their testimony would have been of more value if they had been given in proceedings in lunacy taken against him some weeks ago. More especially those who heard him make threats of murder and considered him insane

should have acted in the matter. Lu-

natics of all degrees and more especially lunatics who threaten violence should be promptly sent to a hospital for the insane for treatment or for detention or both. CHICAGO is apparently without any provision in its charter for the appointment of a successor to Mayor Harrison with full executive powers. It is proposed, therefore, that Councils shall choose a figurehead Mayor, who shall neither sign nor veto ordinances, or exercise any powers liable to be called into question, and that as soon as possible, say within thirty days, a new Mayor shall be elected. This would be a simple solution of the difficulty, but the omission of the law should be corrected as soon as possible. It would be extremely awkward sometimes to have a big city like Chicago with a Mayor for even thirty days whose authority could be questioned. WIPE OUT THE STAIN. The Christian Advocate, the official organ of the Methodist denomination, in Thursday's issue, thus calls upon the people of New Jersey to put down the gambler: "Will you wipe off the disgrace inflicted upon your State, and upon every city, town, village and hamlet within its bounds, by the lease to the gamblers of your legislative power." "You know that the chaplain of one of the penitentiaries of Pennsylvania declares that more than forty cases of clerks imprisoned for embezzling, whose crimes are traceable to the Gloucester races, have passed under his notice; that Monmouth and Guttenburg are

centres and sinks of corruption in its three worst forms--gambling, intemperance and licentiousness. You know that the money or political promises of the owners of these immoral establishments bought most of those votes, some were tempted for the occasion, others, elected for their known subserviency, were paid in advance. "Will you make this the issue, and vote for no man unless he will pledge himself to vote for the repeal of the race track laws, and unless he has character enough to make his word worth something? "Ignore ordinary party issues and throw off the corrupt incubus." THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM. The following platform was adopted by the Republican Convention held at Cape May Court House: Resolved, That we, the Republicans of Cape May county in convention assembled, do reaffirm our allegiance to the party which has ever shown itself the friend of the people. Resolved, That we do denounce the Democratic party as directly and solely responsible for the present business depression, and would point to the fact that at

the close of President Harrison's admin-

istration every mill, factory and shop in the land was running, every mechanic was busy and drawing good wages, and the financial world was prosperous, while to-day, less than nine months from the incoming of the Democratic Administration, more than one-half of the machinery of the country is idle, hundreds of thousands of men are without work and their families without bread, and banks and business men are being forced into bankruptcy by the general distrust of the present Government. Resolved, That we would protest against the fallacy of the free, or prac-

tically free coinage of silver by the Government. Resolved, That we arraign the Democratic party for the passage of laws having for their direct object the legalizing of the worst forms of gambling ever known in the State, and would earnestly appeal to all citizens, irrespective of

party, who love the good name of their State, to repudiate the gamblers at the polls this fall. Resolved, That we pledge our unfaltering and united support to our candidates for Assembly and Coroners, and view with pride the able, consistent and honorable manner in which Hon. E. L. Ross has represented this, his native county of Cape May in the House of Assembly.

THE ISSUE IN NEW JERSEY. The people of New Jersey have an opportunity to throw off the galling yoke of the race track gamblers and wipe out the legislation which has dis-

graced their State. At the coming elec-

tion a new House of Assembly and eight Senators are to be chosen. The antirace track sentiment throughout the State is aroused and needs only to be

directed into the right channel to sweep away the barriers of political corruption and immorality raised by the criminal classes now in ascendency. The flagrant violation of public sentiment and the insults heaped upon the people at Trenton last winter by the Democratic Legislature has not been forgotten.

What is needed now is intelligent and effective direction of the vote of the people of New Jersey who are anxious to deliver their State from the thralldom of race track owners, gamblers and political blood suckers.

Now let us see how the two parties stand. Under the banner of Democracy are enrolled the men who have disgraced the State; who have legalized crime; who have ignored and insulted the people; who have imposed upon them burdensome taxation and robbed them of the right to manage their municipal and county affairs. It was a Democratic Legislature controlled by "Billy" Thompson that made race track gambling lawful in the State of New Jersey. The only hope for a repeal of that infamous act lies in the Republican party. That party is pledged to

redeem the State from the rule of men of the Thompson stripe--to purge the statute books of race track legislation,

laws permitting the sale of liquor in temperance communities and the laws to nullify home rule in municipal af-

fairs.

The Republican State Executive Committee has issued an appeal to which every Jerseyman who loves his State and would rescue it from its debased and disgraceful condition should respond. In many of the counties the Citizens' League--organized expressly

to secure repeal of race track legislation--has indorsed the Republican candi-

dates, and the issue is plain. Republican success will mean that the reign of the criminal classes is at an end, and New Jersey can again proudly lift up her head among the sisterhood of States. A Democratic triumph will be a confession that the prostitution of the law-making power of the State is complete and the interests of race track owners and gamblers dominate the affairs of our state.

[Communicated.] The Silver Question.

On Sunday last I heard a certain preacher refer to the pending silver question. His remarks led me to think that he, like a great many other people

in the East, give very little attention to this important matter, and hence have vague ideas of the merits of the case.

The history of this country plainly shows the necessity of protecting home industries. The present troubles further confirm this proposition. Several At-

lantic and central States have long enjoyed the benefits of this policy, and

under it their population has increased and prospered. A new portion of our vast domain has now asked us to extend equal benefits to them.

It is obvious that any protection extended by the national government must be, as far as possible, common to all the States. If cutlery can be purchased from Europe for a certain price it would manifestly be unjust for the people of any State not making cutlery to have to pay an increased and "protective" price, unless the same courtesy is reciprocally extended to them. Many of the business men and statesmen from

the largest manufacturing city and State in our union recognize this; and thus we can understand the attitude of Sen-

ator Cameron and several notable men of Philadelphia.

What shall we call the men who grow rich from their individually protected interests and who deny the sympathy

and aid to the particular product of the mining States. I think "Hog Com-

bine" fits their case. There is not a newspaper in Philadelphia, and but few in New York, honest enough to state the truth about this matter. Their motive is plain. They are fawning upon the capitalists of the East. Money, like all other things, is subject to the law of supply and demand, and an increase in the circulating medium means a lower rate of interest; and ergo, better times for the poor but industrious mechanic and farmer. It behooves every honest worker in the mills of the East, and every farmer in the Mississippi basin to endorse the firmness of the brave men who are now opposing the Repeal bill in the Senate. The framers of the Constitution wisely separated the functions of the government into three parts--executive, legislative and judicial. The arrogance of our executive in intruding into the legislative should be denounced by every patriotic Democrat in the country. W. E. KERN. Linwood, Oct. 24, '93. Awarded Two Premiums. It will be a source of pride to Philadelphians, inasmuch as it greatly redounds to the credit of the city as a trade centre, to learn that Messrs. Strawbridge & Clothier have been awarded two premiums of the highest order of merit, for their exhibit of ladies' suits and costumes and od ladies' wraps, at the World's Fair. This honor, which was thoroughly deserved, is by no means an empty one, since, in the condensed official catalogue issued by the Exposition authorities and entitled "Interesting Exhibits," the name of this eminent firm was conspicuously mentioned out of four so honored in the whole exhibition. As the other three were Parisian artists, the compliment

is well worthy of comment. Messrs. Strawbridge & Clothier were the only exhibitors from Philadelphia in this

line of products, and we congratulate them, therefore, upon the conspicuous and gratifying success which they have attained in a world-wide com-petition.--Public Ledger, Oct. 26. Our Public School. Our public school is in a flourishing condition and well attended. Prof. L. R. Thomas is a man of learning and is endeavoring to make it rank among the educational institutions of our State. Some of the recent graduates have secured positions as teachers, which is proof of the ability of those who have the instruction of our young people in charge and a source of much gratification to the teachers who labor so faithfully in this field. Miss Roxana Corson and Miss Julia C. Morton, the assistants, are wedded to their profession

and are painstaking instructors who have gained the respect and confidence of the children, an essential point in the proper government of a school room.

Sermon to Jr. O. U. A. M. Last Sunday evening Rev. W. A. Massey delivered a powerful sermon in the first M. E. Church to the Jr. O. U. A. M., taking for his text, "Know all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the King."--I Peter ii:17. The reverend gentleman dwelt upon the principles of the society, laying considerable stress upon the second clause of the text. The order turned out in full force, numbering about forty men. The church was well filled. The choir, which was assisted by Edgar A. Smith, basso, rendered some excellent music.

Halloween Party.

A Halloween party was given at Elliot's Hall on Tuesday evening. The at-

tendance was quite large and the even-

ing whiled away very enjoyably. Refreshments were served. The hall was handsomely decorated for the occasion.

It was under the management of several of our young ladies.

The Fickle and Raging Missouri.

The current of the Mississippi river av-

erages from 2½ to 4 miles an hour in ve-

locity, but a steamboatman on the Mis-

souri would be pretty apt to call this still water, as that stream bowls along under

ordinary circumstances at the rate of 8 and 10 miles an hour, and on state occa-

sions it develops the speed of an ava-

lanche. Engineers consider bridging the Missouri a difficult accomplishment, as the swift current is so versatile in its course and ruinous in its velocity that it is impossible to predict where the chan-

nel is liable to drift.--Alton Sentinel.

Unreliable.

"Martar," said Uncle Silas, "we must fire Pete. I gave him a rubber stamp to put the dates on the eggs as the hens laid 'em, an when I got 'em to market this mornin I found he'd stamped 'em [?] 1892."--Harper's Bazar.

Founding a Western Magazine. We know some very ambitious and very worthy gentlemen who would like to be put into communication with those capitalists who have the money for a magazine enterprise. These gentlemen possess everything necessary to success

except that essential vulgarly called "the stuff." And it is "the stuff" that is mighty hard to be got at just now.

Our opinion is that the way to the founding of a great magazine in the west must be made clear by and with a week-

ly publication that shall faithfully rep-

resent the west and honestly reflect west-

ern sentiment; that shall wage a merci-

less war upon the intellectual hermaph-

eodites and dawdling perverts and petticoated clay eaters who, on little tinsel

thrones along the eastern coast, presume to set themselves up as dictators in the great realm of American literature.

We are not for any skirmish with those humbugs. We are for a war of extermination. That war is bound to come sooner or later. It must not be begun,

however, on the part of the west until the west is fully prepared to sail into and disembowel every last mother's son of

those twiddling twaddling squirts and their queer little parasites.--Eugene Field in Chicago News-Record.

Truthfulness and Stupidity.

The ability to tell a good durable lie seems to be very rare indeed. This was

amply demonstrated in the runs on New York banks, when only such depositors

as had immediate and pressing need for money were accommodated without the 60 day notice provided for by law. Peo-

ple who were going to Europe in the afternoon had no idea of what steamer they would take, and mentioned at ran-

dom vessels that would not sail for a fortnight. Others were going to bury relatives, but could not remember the name of the importunate undertaker who insisted upon payment in advance. Still others wanted to invest in saloons and grocery stores which they stammeringly located on sites occupied by well known hotels or great dry goods

marts. The exhibition was a most grat-

ifying one to that sort of moralist willing to find satisfaction in the fact that people are truthful not from scrupulousness, but from stupidity.--Kate Field's Washington.

Uneasy Clerks.

Since the Ford's theater disaster a general feeling of uneasiness seems to have existed among the clerks in the different departments of this city. One day re-

recently during a slight storm a window in the top of the pension building slammed and broke the glass, which came crashing down to the ground below. The clerks engaged in the building upon hearing the crash rushed from their desks into the open air. Several of them in describing the scene afterward

said that they thought the building was falling, and their first idea was to reach a place of safety as soon as possible.--Washington Post. One sitting resulted in the winning of $1,300 and the second $1,000. During the later game the man was out nearly the whole $1,300 he had won at sitting No. 1, but he picked up and won big money. "I suppose he has gone back to Seattle with his dough," said the gambler, "as I have not seen him for some days."--Tacoma News.

Wanamaker's. PHILADELPHIA, Monday, Oct. 30, 1893. Fur trimmings. Never a time when so near to "everybody" was wanting them. And, singularly enough, the usual word is, "If you'll leave your order, please, we'll have it for you in a few days." See if you hear any such talk here. See if just the kind you want in just the quantity you ask for isn't ready and waiting for you --from 30c upward. Fur Head Scarfs have two special characteristics--largest assortment, smallest prices. For instance: Genuine Hudson Bay Neck Scarfs, patent head and claws, $5. All the Fur Capes were made to our special order. They are copies of the richest styles Paris furriers produced for this season. At $13.50.

Self-colored Dress Goods--the modestly beautiful stuffs that women of quiet tastes can wear as freely as any of the plain weaves. It takes real art to bring out these monotint pictures so exquisitely. Whether in flowers or figures, in dots or spots or splashes--no matter what the design, there's a grace and elegance to the work that lifts the old familiar weaves into a new light of loveliness. Those self-colored sorts have three long counters solely to themselves. Probably more than a thousand styles and colors--75c to $3 the yard. And the best of it is that quality for quality prices are 10 to 25 per cent. under those of last season. Here are a few of the very newest:
