PARTY CELEBRATIONS IN NEwAnK-sPEEcHEs
OF SENATOR JONES, OF FLORIDA; GOVERNOR
MCCLELLAN AND REV. DIR. FoRBEsTER.
Not in the memory Of the oldest inhabitnnt has
there been heartier celebration of the Fourth Of
July in Newark N j.. than there was yesterday. yet
not week ago 1t declared in one of the
leading journals of the town that the Fourth
dead as door nail. and that
its spirit had gone out forever-hickered out with
the Centennial celebration three years ago. The
Common Council refused to make any appropriation
or provision the celebration of the day. under
these circumstances the Essex County Demo-
cratic Club determined to hold celebration
such as they used to have some years
ago. Committees appointed. efforts
made to get distinguished southerner
to deliver the oration. Meanwhile the republicans
became alarmed and resolved take the wind out OF
the sails of tho democratic club. and accordingly
organized 'citizens committee" Tho result was
that yesterday there were two celebrations. Besides
these celebrations ther0 was o fine parade in the
morning and fireworks in tho evening.
THE DEMOCRATIC Powwow.
Tho democratic club held its celebration in the
open mir. in Military Park. fine stage erected
upon q spot made historic by the fact that, with
grand ceremonies. tho Marquis de Lafayette
ceved there upon his second visit to this
country in 1924. fag-covesed temple of
liberty stood the centre for the speakers
anu committee. An audience Of several
thousand assembled under the trees Governor
Mcclellan presided made address. in the
of which he declared strongly for the subord
nation of the military to the civil power. and for the
ron-ntcrference OF government with those
rights reserved the States by the constitution.

| In opening the Senator said that az far as 1t
possible for him to do 80 he would speak. not .

Insnt Of opinion. not OF force He said that the
greatest want of the country to-day was "a broader
higher and stronger national feeling among tho
people than what we nnd in existence" He desired
to turn away from the bitcrnesses Of party strife
and enjoy the rule of the people. for the people and
THE UNIONS DANGER
In conclusion he said:-"lt Is a mistake to sup
pose. follow citizens, that admirable system Of
public authority has lost it's hold upon any part Of
the American people However much the partisan
of the sectonalist may proclaim to the world that
tt will be found il real test should como that the
spirit Of nationality Is not dead. and that there
is yet patriotism enough and power enough in this
great land to crush of existence any and all pub
lie characters who shall attempt to control and
direct the functions of this great except
! in the interest and for the beneht of the whole
people. The section Of the country from which
/ come is too often mentioned in connection with
ideas and sentiments hostile to the Union. Many
honest men at the North sincerely believe that q
majority Of the people in that quarter are held in
no real love for the institutions under which thoy
live. The terrible civil struggle through which we
honest Seei ~ that the favored institution
OF the South was in danger in the
ss to the wsrs Of that ssoon
Whatever may now be thought of the correctness Of
that belief Is immaterial. Both the motive and its
consequences have passed away, and all must admit
that this generation has witnessed change of pub
lie sentiment in the South in regard to the nstitu-
tion Of slavery which was not expected by many for
poets or desires the return Of the old
conceivable circumstances under which the people
would be willing to accept it, All eyes and all hearts
and it is believed that no section OF the country is
favoraby situated to taste tho full blessings OF
the Union % than the ono which Is supposed to be
been discontent there OF late cannot be de-
MED. But there was cause for it; and
yourselves, not to complain when usurpation and
oppression assail them. But need not imagine,
fellow citizens. that in consequence OF the present
condition OF affairs in that quarter OF the Union is
necessary to depart from the old landmarks Of

piness ana tranquility. than the administration of
