The Sunday tatler and Jersey City express. (Jersey City, N.J.) 1883-1886, 1886-04-25

friends were cutting Mr.. Albeit, and when
they came for the rest of the fund In the
afternoon, it was refused them From
thenceferth Mr.. Laverty and his friends
worked for Mr. Albeit alone, and the result
was that Mercer gave the Governor over
400 majority while George slipped through
with bare majority. But be got even last
Wednesday.
The young lawyers who are wasting their
time and money in going to Washington to
secure the appointment of assistant TO q.
know that Attorney General Garland ap-
points the man whom Mr.. Lippincott nom
mates.
Willie Albeit has fallen a victim to over
confidence at the recent election of the
Palma Club He was 80 sure of being
elected a member Of the board of directors
that he trusted many Of his own votes to
secure the election of two friends, and
when the returns were canvassed Willie
was left. He will never do it again.
1t was sight never to be forgotten to
see the aristocratic Wayne Parker escort
ing Minnie Schaefer to her carriage and
carrying her satchel in his hands. Minnie
never travelled in such company before
she, the ex-conyict and self-cenfessed har-
lot and adulteress; he, the brainiest son of
one of Hayes's Louisiana statesmen.
1t is all bosh to talk about the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company dispensing with
the services OF Cul. Barealow hereafter.

the average New Jersey Legislator And
what tale he could unfold if he should
get his mad up.
Counsellors McGrath and Dougherty
would like to slip into Job Lippincott's old
shoes and become counsel to the Board of
Freeholders. But Job does not intend to
throw them off yet. There is no law that
prevents him from holding both that Office
and the one of u S. District Attorney, to
which ne has been recently appointed, and
he feels conscious of being able TO perform
the duties of both.
In all other cases witnesses for the State
are only paid their mileage and witness
fees, but in the Laverty impeachment case
they were kept at the expense of the State
at hotels for four weeks. And if in any
other case witness is brought from for
eign prison, he or she is lodged in the
county jail during the time they are re-
quired. Why did the impeachment mana
gers depart from that rule?
And now it is announced that Senator
Gardner, of Atlantic. is being urged by the
Seweu faction to accept the Republican
GubernatOrial nomination. Probably a
little game of political bluff to make the
Banged Apollo of the Hackensack" more
anxious for the nomination and more will

| Phelps will have to pay handsomely for
| the empty honors in store for him.
Governor Albeit changed the State Arbor
Day because the first day selected happened
to be Good Friday. This oversight gave a
Paterson Dominic an opportunity to air
himself in letter to Republican paper of
that city, and then address communica-
tioa on the subject to the Governor in
which the clipping from the paper was en-
closed. 1t almost appears as if propriety
was aot tenet of the church.
If the thirteen Republican Senators were
not assured of Mr.. Vanderbilt's co-opera-
ton in their plot to ruin Mr. Laverty not
more than seven of them would have voted
guilty" Among the initiated it was we'll
known since the beginning of the trial that
| if the Republicans needed Vanderbilt's
vote to convict Mr.. Laverty it was at theil
| pleasures This eminently fair judge could
not suppress his joy at the opportunity
of stabbing Albeit over the shoulders of
sshis henchman" Laverty. How little he
knew what he was talking aboutl

the testimony for counsel, and made many
valuable suggestions Tired and hungry
he returned home late in the afternoon,
and, without taking time to eat regular
