A party statement urges support for Robert Vandenburg to seek a second term as representative. The note argues his one term has prepared him, cites party unity, and calls on the convention to recognize his merit and rightful claim to the seat.
The piece reports on threats against jurors and officials tied to a controversial verdict, with calls to suppress dissent and trampling the rule of law. It also notes weather prognostications by A J DeVoe, local crime updates, a missing cashier, a child wound, and various local civic and church developments across New Jersey towns.
A Somerville correspondent notes catches in the South Branch and Millstone rivers, including four and a quarter and three and a half pound fish. The piece recalls the first Philadelphia to New York telegraph message relayed to Somerville and delivered in New York via the Hope Express. It then lists church and study topics for the M C A Fall Term 1886 through November with scripture readings and themes. A Texas rescue tale follows, praising Dr King’s New Discovery and New Life Pills, credited with a remarkable recovery and weight gain, with free trial bottles offered locally.
