Robeson to the Front.

The brazen and notorious Robeson has been nominated for Congress by the Republicans of the First district of New Jersey. Tn his speech of acceptance, the man whom Whitthorne’s committee has apparently demonstrated to be the biggest corruptionist of the Grant corruption period said “ the Republican party has been the bread and meat of my political life ” —which is an undeniable truth; but when he added that he was ready to vindicate Grant’s administration, those who nominated him must have had doubts in their minds about the possibility of even Robeson carrying out that contract. If he is elected, the fact will have to be taken as evidence that “ Jersey justice is altogether as eccentric and astonishing as “Jersey lightning.”— Chicago Times.
