The Newark Daily Advertiser discourses


The Newark Dailg Advertiser discourses
wisely about Hudson County politics. One
evidence of its wisdom is its statement that
Fuss-and- Feathers Wolbert has large fol-
lowing. The Advertiser does this commu-
nifty great injustice The number of
cranks, SO far from being large, Is very lin
tied. II is so mighty small that some day
we propose to present all their pictures in
single issue of the TArTLEa Perhaps the
Advertiser places reliance upon the Argas's
assurance that the First District Associa-
ton formally endorsed Wolberts candi-
dature for the Surrogacy. If it had read
last Sundays TATrLER, 1t would have
learned that no one endorsed his candi-
dacy except fluffy old gentleman known
as Fuss-and- Feathers Wolbert. Nor must
it be deceived by the cry of "Bossisin. /"
The cry awaited so effeotually in the Spring
campaign of year ago, that the men who
want to be sFbosses," and are not allowed
to be, are yelling it again, and probably
propose to utilize it as war whoop as long
as they think it will serve their ends. The
fact is that the party has defeated the sys-
tenn of g bossism,' and the chagrinned
s'bosses" are crying s'No bossism 3 on the
s'Stop thief !" principle, for all they are
worth. When it comes to that, the TAT
Tier will make it pretty plain to the people
of this county that the ''bossism'' is all on
the other side of the fence, and that SO fal
from Mr.. McAvoy being the outgrowth Of
that detestable system, his opponents nom
ination is one of the most bold-faced and
open pieces of convention manipulation
the politics of Hudson County have eyel
revealed. ,i
We don't know that the TATTLEE will
reach its exchanges this morning; but if il
does we desire to apoligise to our fellow
editors for our apparent neglect of them
the last two or three weeks. This has moi
been due to carelessness on our part or te
indifference to the good will of papers that
never forget us in making up their mai
lists. The Sunday before last we put
1000 extra papers on the press with the
conviction that we would have 200 left fol
our mail. Before we knew it the news
dealers had grabbed up the whole extrs
edition and were hungrily crying for more
Last Sunday we ordered $50 more ever
than the edition of the previous Sunday
on the press. We expected out of that moi
only to have enough left for the mail, but
to be s'stuck probably with two or thref
hundred papers. The demand of the
dealers went way beyond our expectations
and before the mailing clerk could seizt
those that he needed. the newsdealers had
bought every paper in the Office We hae
to buy two back from one of the dealers
for GUS file. These additional editions rar

are prepared for it. We hope to-da.
to have enough left out of this morning.
issue to pay our respects to the EDITOR
of the papers with which we exchange.
It becomes the duty of the fellows Wit

Hughes retirement is close at hand; ant

the last three years they lhaye jus

over the men; but the total population j
divided pretty evenly between the TIVE

Irish women outnumber the Irishmen-
Irish born, we mean; but there are NOR
German males in the census list than Ger
man females. There are more colored PEG
pie to the square inch in Salem than in
any other county in the State; but Camden
has the longest roll of 'scullud bredren

nearly two-thirds of the entire German
population OF the State; and, what VI
didn't know before, the German contingent
in this county is bigger than that in Esse'
