Republican Ticket. FOR CONGRESS, HENRY C. LOUDENSLAGER, of Gloucester county. FOR SENATOR, EDMUND L. ROSS, of Middle township. FOR ASSEMBLY, FURMAN L. LUDLAM, of Dennis township. FOR COUNTY CLERK, JAMES SHOEMAKER, of Upper township.

WITH the lively campaign the Republicans are making it would seem that the Republican vote might be out.

LUDLAM is making a lively canvass for the Assembly. His election is assured and yet he is doing his full duty to make the success of the party the

one paramount effort.

EDMUND L. ROSS is a stirring business man, in contract with the people every day of his life, and knows their needs, and hence will make a useful

member of the Senate.

EVERY Republican candidate for Congress in this State should be elected this fall. It is among the possibilities, and it is likely to happen if the working people consult their own interests. IF every Republican in this county will make it a point to be at the polls on election day and deposit his vote right, the result will bring a big smile to his face when he reads the election returns.

THE only fear is that over-confidence may prevent the full Republican vote from being polled. If that is overcome New Jersey is as safely Republican as it was one year ago when it recorded 23,000 Republican plurality on the As-

sembly candidates.

EDMUND L. ROSS voted against race tracks, and in favor of home rule last winter. His influence and vote were always given on the right side of a question. He is before the people on his record, and he and his party are willing to allow the campaign to be made on that issue.

THE Republican candidates of this county are conducting a campaign of activity and are visiting the various parts of the county. Their visits are a success. There is a united party, and old Cape May will be sure to roll up a handsome majority. The candidates are everywhere treated most cordially.

LAST year Edmund L. Ross was tri-

umphantly elected to the Assembly, and was one of the most faithful representatives this county has ever elected. He was faithful to every trust. He supported every reform bill, and was at all times patriotic. His nomination for the Senate was heartily accorded him by acclamation, and his election ought to be pretty much the same way. NEVER before, at this stage of the campaign, was there so little manifestation of energy and interest among the Democrats as there is this fall. The reason of this is that they recognize that theirs is a losing game, and that they have no hope of electing any of their candidates. They are merely making a little show in nominating candidates and indulging in other mere formalities, for the purpose of holding together some semblance of a party organization. It is a Republican year, not only locally, but all over.

LAST YEAR people, irrespective of party, desired to join forces and mass themselves against the forces at Trenton. At that time the Democrats of the State were in charge of Billy Thompson and Al McDermott. The people turned from these tricksters and voted the Republican party the Legislature. The gang, guided by McDermott, resisted the will of the people, but were finally driven back. And then came reform. Then came home rule, nonpartisan institutions, and the rum commissions. Ross was pledged to stand by reform. He did so in every case and never made a mistake. Ross and Ludlam stand upon the same kind of platform now, at the people will give them rousing support. And they will be true to their trust.

Game Plentiful.

The season for shooting dear, quail, rabbits and pheasants will shortly open in New Jersey. The game this season is reported to be more plentiful than last year, and particularly is this so in Atlantic, Cape May, Burlington and Cumberland counties and nearly all southern New Jersey. The severe cold winter of 1892 nearly exterminated all the qual and rabbits, and the scarcity of the game for the past two years has been attributed to this. During the early part of this year local sportsmen of many towns in the lower counties liberated many pairs of qual, and the reports of hunters are that they have fast multiplied. In Atlantic county, where nearly one hundred pairs of qual were liberated in the fields near May's Landing, they have increased wonderfully and give promise of much sport for the lover of this kind of shooting. Rabbits are reported plentiful and in every wood in Atlantic county. Richland, a small town located along the line of the West Jersey Railroad, a few miles above May's Landing, is the most noted rabbit country in all Southern New Jersey. Many hunters from Philadelphia have already engaged headquarters at that place and Tuckahoe. They always arrive several days before the season comes in, pitch their tents and camp out. Pheasants are unusually plentiful near May's Landing, Estellville and Weymouth. This game is very seldom killed by sportsmen, as they fly for the thickest part of the swamp and go as fast as lightning. Foxes are very scarce and but few have been killed in this section for several years past. Wild ducks of several varieties have been unusually plentiful in the bays and ponds on the salt marshes, and many were killed and are now being

bagged.

The deer season opens November 26th. These animals seem to be very plentiful this year, especially in Cape May, Cumberland and Atlantic counties, and the sportsmen report having seen a number in the burnt woods near Tuckahoe, and in the pines at Doughty's Tavern, Buck Hill and McClure's. Doughty's Tavern, away back in the "deer pines" of Atlantic county, has for years been a favorite resort for deer hunters. Years before the war, when deer were almost as plentiful in the lower counties as rabbits are now, as many as a hundred sportsmen from Philadelphia, New York and Maryland would congregate at the old tavern in the woods on the day before the season opened, and long before daylight the next morning they would be off in hot pursuit of the deer. In those days a single gunner often killed six and eight deer in a day's hunt. Last season in Cumberland, Atlantic and Cape May counties nearly twenty deer were killed.

Wants the Law Changed. Over in Bridgeton a lazy, good-for-nothing sort of man was flogged, thrown down and very effectually "done up" by his mother-in-law and sister-in-law, and the sum of five dollars was taken out of his pocket. The man's wife is working in a factory and has to board with her mother because her husband will not provide for her. The flogging was administered for the reason stated, but the lazy and improvident husband has had the two floggers arrested for assault and battery. Now, the law is opposed to punishment of this kind, yet the public generally will say that the lout of a husband was served just right. Why would it not do to change the law, first requiring that lazy and improvident husbands of this kind be hauled before a court of competent jurisdiction, and, being convicted upon proper evidence, be sentenced to be flogged by his mother-in-law or sister-in-law, or both, in discretion of the courts. It would have a salutary effect, for the flogging would be well done if done so in the Bridgeton case. The New Jail Accepted. The Board of Chosen Freeholders of this county convened at Cape May Court House last Wednesday, and, after making a thorough inspection of the new jail building and Sheriff's residence, formally accepted the same from the contractors, the Pauly Jail Building and Manufacturing Company of St. Louis, Mo. The building is one of the finest of its kind in this State. The cells are pronounced perfectly secure. The total cost is $17,286.75. In a short time the new jail will be turned over to the charge of Sheriff Robert E. Hand, Cape May county's prisoners, which have, during its construction, been confined in the Cumberland county prison at Bridgeton, will be brought there.

ELECTION DAY.

Election day draws near and the people are awaiting its dawn with a quiet yet firm determination to administer a severe rebuke to those who brought upon the country such a long train of business wrecks and financial disasters. Tariff tinkering closed industrial establishments, causing great loss and many failures. Many prosperous business men of two years ago lost their all during the long wait for Congressional action, and now find themselves at the foot of the ladder upon whose upper rounds they had so bravely climbed. Working men, whose money had been invested in modest homes for their families, found themselves without the means to meet their obligations,

and have been compelled to stand helplessly by while their hard-earned savings disappeared in order to provide food for their families till better times come again. Right or wrong, the party in power must bear the blame, and right or wrong, it must pay the penalty. The cry of "robber barons" raised by the free traders had its effect. A change was demanded and the demand was complied with. Now another change is demanded. In a few short months it has been demonstrated that a colossal mistake was made, and the voters of this country mean to revise their former action with emphasis. We look for a political tidal wave that will wipe out the Democratic majority in the House at Washington and put a stop to further tariff legislation during the present Administration.

DRESS GOODS--HIGH NOVELTIES Many of the rich new stuffs in our Dress Goods were not seen in Paris by any American wholesale buyer save our own. Many of them were shown at retail simultaneously, in our store and in Paris and nowhere else. The highest novelties, the $3, $4 and $5 stuffs, were in small quantities and great varieties. No duplicates. Early buying gives best selections and wise women will not defer longer. Evidence is cumulative that the outside world endorses the fact well known to us that the richest, rarest, completest stock of Dress Goods in America, this season has been (and is)

here.

DRESS GOODS--MEDIUM PRICED Elegance coupled with economy pervades the stock. Richness roams through the grades from 25c to $1. Do not forget that our distributing power is always a bargain winner. We conquer prices, but the Public gets the dividends. Just a few points selected at random from hundreds: At 25c the yard. Camel's Hair Serge, navy blue and black all-wool, and sold in the usual way at 50c.

At 37½c the yard. Silk mixed fancy Cheviot that would be considered cheap at 50c. At 50c the yard. Storm Serge, all wool, in navy blue and black, that was made to sell at 75c. At 75c the yard. Fancy Serge, sprinkled with silk threads that give a pretty effect, and made to sell at $1.25. At 75c the yard. Fancy Cheviot, medium rough, all the manufacturer had. And was surprised to see it sell for less than $1.25.

At 75c the yard. Fancy Cheviot, another make of all wool stuff, and is selling in some places at $1.25. At $1 the yard. 40-inch French Boucle, six colors; would be regularly $1.25.

SEWING MACHINES

There is a new era in the Sewing Machine business. It used to be that you paid three times as much for a Sewing Machine as it was worth. Onethird went for the Machine and two-thirds to support an agency system from which the customer did not derive a fraction of a cent of benefit. And you are still told that you ought to tax yourself sixty-seven per cent, to

continue that sham.

It is similar to the long discussion as to whether books should be sold as merchandise or by a false system that imposed fictitious values upon retail buyers. That battle was completely won for the public

as this will be.

The Quaker City Sewing Machines sold by us are peers of the best. We quote prices from a similar make and those of the Quaker City together. The comparison is fair, the Machines similar, the finish

fully equal.

Cabinet Case, xxx make, $90.00 Cabinet Case, Quaker City, $35.00 Saving, $55.00 Drop Head, xxx make, $60.00 Drop Head, Quaker City, $25.00 Saving, $35.00

Ornamental Stand, xxx make, $60.00 Ornamental Stand, Quaker City, $23.50

Saving, $36.50

Ornamental Stand, xxx make, $55.00 Ornamental Stand, Quaker City, $20.00 Saving, $35.00

Plain Stand, xxx make, $50.00 Plain Stand, Quaker City, $18.00 Saving, $32.00

Within a few months we have placed six hundred of these Machines in this city, but that's only a beginning. Experience will prove the truth of every claim we make for them.

BED BLANKETS The four sorts we tell of give the measure of maybe forty sorts that get no word in the

papers.

We never before sold Blankets of equal quality for so little

money.

At $2 the pair. Heavy, good size, 70x80 in., cotton warp Blankets. At $3 the pair. Warm, the roughly well made and perfectly finished Blankets, 70x80 in.; good weight. At $4 the pair. Heavy, 6 lbs., strictly pure wool Blankets, 76x86 in.; warm, strong, sightly. At $6 the pair. Large, 81x[?] in., clean, long staple secured wool fitting on light cotton warp; weight 7 lbs. And special values up to the finest at $20 the pair.
