One OF the most shameless political mobs
that ever staincd the history OF a city was That
I'm RAILWAY, n. j., on Saturday night. Recently
there lad been several great Democratic dem
onslratlons In and near RAN way, and at none Of
these was there any disturbance.
The Republican committees Of Rlhway In
vlted tho attend nce of Hayes and Wheeler
clubs from Newark. Elizabeth, Milford, ri In
field and elsewhere to parade on Satuiday night.
A gent!einan In Newark warned the democratic
executive committee IN Railway, saylne. lhey
will burn yOur banners and rob your houses"
Nineteen cars aud a baggage r started from
Newark. There were Hayes and wheeler clubs,
aud cllts devoted to the interests Of local en-.
ddatos. They drank whisliey before the train was
under way. and scarcely were they out Of sleht
Of Newark before they began nghung among
them selves. There were several companies Of
colored men. lnd they followed the example "
their white brethren. At Elizabeth the party
was I, snforced,and tho train sped ON, aud when
not far from Liudcn the engineer aud conductor

Blue had uncoupled he hindmost sxTars. Tho
