Why has not Mr. Simmons,
the county commissioner who is
opposing Clerk of Court Beysie
gel now’, not brought suit
against Mr. Beysiegel compell
ing him to return that $1550.15
so “illegally” obtained. Mr.
Simmons has been on the board
twoyears, and while making the
race as a member of the “re
form” ticket combination now,
he seems to have neglected his
duty—provided, of course, Mr.
Beysiegel ought to be made dis
gorge —and the “reform” organ
so charges.
Columbus was not a Spaniard.
Just any body cant ride a Bey

Who got the other third and

Why were net these cLargi s
made against Mr. Beysiegel aid
Mr, McConnell and Mr J I) Tur

Messrs. McConnell, Turn r
and Beysiegel made a race in
’94 and an ther in ’96, and by
overwhelming majorities they
were elected upon each occa
sion. The people have passed
upon the presentments of the
grandjury .of April 4, 1894. And
they have given their unquali
fied approval to the officials now
assailed. Is the motive that j
prompts the present assault in-,
spired by a desire for “reform.’’ j
or a hope for spoils?
A Jers'yman who has an eye to
business has written to one of the
New York papers to ask whether
it is true “that” horses are to be
furnished the marines.” He adds:
“I have a number of good mounts
I should like to dispose of to the
Government at half their cost
price.” The verses about “Captain
•Jinks, of the Horse Marines,” an !
evidently s'ill accepted in good
faith in some parts of New Jersey.
