THE GOVERNORSHIP. Republicans are beginning to discuss the best moves for the Gubernatorial campaign in all parts of the State. There are many good men mentioned, and it is likely the Convention will be somewhat embarrassed by the wealth

of material.

But one thing may be safely predict-

ed, we think, and that is that the Convention will not make any mistake

in the selection of the nominee. The campaign is too tremendously

important, the issues at stake too great, to permit any opportunity for error in

the selection of our standard-bearer.

The Democrats will, no doubt, make

a desperate fight, and will spare no

effort or expenditure in order to wit,

but with a first-rate nominee, such as

the Convention will undoubtedly place before the people of the State, they are doomed to inevitable and overwhelm-

ing defeat.

War to the Knife. Speaking of an attempt to muzzle the Manasquan Coast Democrat that paper says: "We bear malice toward none, are always ready to correct an error, more than willing to meet a foe half way, but when a man throws down the

gauntlet and dedicates himself our enemy he will find us as ready to defend as he is to attack. Therefore it might be as well for these loud-mouthed blatherskites to take heed for they are talking through their hats when they threaten to stop criticism of their public acts."

THOSE WHO COME EARLY. The presence of so many strangers in

Ocean City at this time of year is certainly encouraging, not only to the real estate agents but to everyone else who is interested in the welfare and advancement of the town. it means, in a majority of cases, that these visitors are house-hunters who are seeking summer homes where they and their families may come and enjoy that freedom and safety not found at any other watering place in the country. We welcome them to Ocean City and can assure them that the entertainment that will be provided for their edification and amusement will not only equal but surpass that of any previous year. The question may be asked, what brings these people to Ocean City, during the winter months? It is easily answered. They have read of the beauties and advantages of our town, which have been advertised in various ways, and wishing to secure suitable homes for summer occupancy, they come early to obtain the best results. If predictions count for anything, then Ocean City is on the threshold of one of the best seasons ever known in its history.

VOLUME XV.

The SENTINEL, with this issue, enters upon its fifteenth volume. As we stand upon the threshold of another year, a retrospective glance at those which have passed into history reveals a marvelous transformation. When the SENTINEL was started, Ocean City existed but in name. A few straggling houses was the nucleus from which sprung a town that has made such rapid and substantial growth as to excite the envy of its sister summer resorts, and it seems destined to become the leading city along the New Jersey coast. While this change was being wrought in the growth of this city the SENTINEL was leading the vanguard and directing attention to the many natural advantages which Ocean City possessed as a resort for those who loved to spend the summer months along the Atlantic coast. While the city grew apace, we never lost sight of the goal of our ambition--the making of a name and reputation for the SENTINEL which would place it in the front rank of journalism in this section of the State. To accomplish this purpose we have had to surmount many difficulties and overcome obstacles which at times put our faith to the severest test. But to-day, as we enter upon the new volume, although the solution of the labor and capital problem is causing unrest and grave apprehensions throughout our country among the wage-earners and capitalists, we are more encouraged as to the future of the SENTINEL than at any former period since it became one of the permanent institutions of Ocean City. Our success in the past we attribute to our unflinching purpose to serve the town's best interests, and we will not deviate in the future from the course that we have pursued in the years that have passed. To Publish the Laws. In the First Congressional District the following newspapers have been designated to publish the laws of the 119th Legislature: Camden county--Daily Telegram, R.; Courier, R.; Post, R.; Democrat, D.; Review, D.; Gloucester City Advertiser, D. Cape May--Ocean City SENTINEL, R.; Cape May County Times, D. Cumberland--Bridgeton Pioneer, R.; Millville Republican, R.; Bridgeton Patriot, D. Gloucester--Constitution, R.; Enterprise, R.; Democrat, D. Salem--National Standard, R.; Monitor Register, R.; Sunbeam, D. Atlantic City Stabbing Affray. Richard Chapman was Sunday stabbed in the head with a rasp by Theodore Macke, a shoemaker, whose shop is at 14 North Jersey avenue. The two men, who had been drinking and playing cards, quarreled over the game, which led to the assault. Chapman, whose condition is serious, was taken home by a policeman, but he refused to enter complaint against his assailant.

Business Sold. Samuel Russell, of Wenonah, has purchased the dry goods business of C. A. Campbell and taken a three years' lease on the store and dwelling. Mr. Russell will move here about the 20th inst. The sale was made through the agency of Y. Corson. An Atlantic City Man's Good Luck. President Silas R. Morse, of the Atlantic City Board of Education, has been notified of his appointment as Curator of the new State Museum at Trenton, by Governor Werts, at a salary of $1500. Mr. Morse's long connection with school matters fully qualifies him for the important position.

Wharf Sold. Sheriff Hand was in town on Monday and sold the wharf of the defunct Longport, Ocean City and Somers' Point Steamboat Company, at the suit of E. V. Corson. The old bidder was Geo. A. Bourgeois, solicitor for the complainant.

Excursion Agent Engaged.

Rev. J. R. Greer, who has had charge

of the work at Aura, Bridgeton District

under Dr. Wight, has been engaged by

the Ocean City Association to superin-

tend the excursion to the seaside re-

sort. We judge Bro. Greer to be well

adapted to this kind of work, and he

doubtless will do a great deal of good

in calling the attention of the general

public to this place, where the churches

and Sunday schools will not be vitiated

by the gilded ball room or dance pavil-

lion, or by the saloons and gambling

places, as found almost everywhere

else.--Epworth Advocate.

Stites' cottage, corner Eleventh street and West avenue, to C. Ogden, of Palmyra. S. H. Scattergood, of Philadelphia, has rented Charles Matthews' cottage on Central avenue, near Sixth street. W. E.

SWIVEL SILK GINGHAMS,

37½c

Selling space was too small --both for you and the goods;

we've made it larger. There

are 37½ Swivel Silk Ging-

hams all over town--the kind that was fairly best last year. We're innocent enough to think you'd rather not buy old stuffs. These 118 styles we show are the newest improved beauties for 1895 and are 50c but for our big buying. That made them 37½ here. Selling

grows bigger each day. BLACK DRESS GOODS Here's a fair illustration of

the way this store of yours responds to your wants--black goods are in higher favor than ever; hence, more readiness in black goods. More than doubled their space; skipping across the main aisle for room. No skips in the stock, though; they were never so interesting. Three hints of specially tempting lots: Lupin's Black Crepe Cloth, all wool and daintily woven, and suitable for midsummer wear. 15 in., 50c a yard. The same quality that has always retailed at $1 a yard until this lot. Black Diagonal Cheviot of deep rich black and good weight for present wear, 50 in., 50c a yard. The same quality that has retailed at 75c a yard. Black Diagonal Cheviot in crepe, diagonal and granite weaves in good full black. 50 in., 75c a yard. Quality made to retail at $1.25 a yard.

HOUSEKEEPING LINENS Don't make any difference whether you're an expert linen buyer or not; it's safe picking here, because there's no mistakes to steer clear of. Linen here means all flax and, whatever cheapness you find, it's clear of trash. "All linen" may be very poor linen; it's apt to be so in the average bargain sale; it's more apt yet to be something else in part. 22 inch Bohemian Linen Napkins, strong, good-looking, good-wearing, $1 a dozen; best value yet offered. Fringed German Damask Lunch Sets, blue, red or gold borders, Cloth and one dozen fringed Napkins, $1 a set. 64 inch grass bleached Irish Table Linen made of best Irish flax yarns, at 50c a yard; this lot will end this quality at any such price. Heavy bleached pure Linen Huckaback Towels, fringed or hemmed ends, 12½c each; $1.50 a dozen from $1.92. Hemstitched Irish Linen Pillow Cases Laundered Hemstitched Pillow Cases, pure linen, $1 kind for 75c a pair. Laundered Hemstitched Pillow Cases spoke stitch, good cloth, $1.50 kind for $1 a pair. Extra heavy, good quality Hemstitched Flemish Linen Sheets for big double beds, $5 a pair.

BABY CARRIAGES Fifty-six styles ready to wheel away, if you please; or, we'll build a Carriage just to your notion. Pick out the parts, choose the upholstery, and it's soon ready. Don't cost much more--tho' the Carriage can cost $100 and be worth it. The regular styles start at $3.75; then $5, $6, $6.75, skip to $11, and up and up to $62. JOHN WANAMAKER.

Council met Monday evening with all members present. Minutes of above meeting read and approved. The Mayor, as an advertising committee, presented a report.
