AT the Democratic meeting of last Sat-
urday night, Mr.. McAdoo discussed the
tariff, or rather defined his own position in
reference to that subject. He says that
his remarks have been misrepresented in
other papers, and he sends US the following
report of what he said, with request
that we will publish it, which we cheer
fully do:
l am concerned as to the laws regulating
the collection of the revenues. Not alone
because they tax the citizens, but because the
labor of the land is deeply concerned as to
objects upon which the tax shall be levied
and the principles which shall underlie
the selection. | do not worship the pres
ent tariff as 4 fetch, or ascribe to it every
virtue under heaven, but am unalterably
opposed to any violent or revolutionary
changes which shall leave American labor
in open competition with that of other
countries. Absolute freedom Of trade
must be preceded by the social and poll
teal equality of the people of the coun-
tries concerned. The degraded serfs of
an absolute monarchy ought not to be
brought into open competition with the
free and intelligent citizens of republic.
In vain to restrict convict competition in
America, if the products of convict labor
in France and England can reach our
country free in vain to prohibit alien
pauper contract laborers from coming
here, if their handiwork comes untaxed
into our markets. A New York paper.

and eloquent, putting forth his ideas in
language ineligible to all, yet abound
ing in keen satire on the weak points Of
his opponents. No man is more quick
than he to see the vulnerable parts Of his
adversary, and none more ready to hold
it forth to the light of Just criticism.
His estimate of mankind is remarkably
accurate-apparently intuitive-and his
conclusions are rarely ID error. Mr. Ed

less energy.
For several years he served his party IS
chairman of the Hudson County Demo
cratic General Committee, ceasing his
connection with that organization through
pressure of professional duties-feeling
assured that he could still lend helping
hand to mis- party, and be one of the rank
and file.
For all of bis prominence in politics,
this is the first time he has come before
the people as a candidate for their votes
for any Office.
In private life Mr. Edwards is a man
with whom it is a pleasure to be ac-
quainted. At his Office, his whole time
is engaged in looking out for the affairs
of his clients, and few moments of the
day are spent 10 social conversation. His
voice carries the ring of the genuine
metal, and his word is accepted without
question by courts and brother lawyers.
In financial matters his solicitude that
he gives all that is due is remarked by all
who deal with him, but wien he looks
after his own portion anything is ac-
cepted.
In society-and as an entertainer-he
displays traits given to few men. A
quick perception of the subject to interest
his listeners, and q ready, easy flow of
thought to discuss the subject passing
rapidly from one topic to another, ana
giving evidence of intimate acquaintance
with each-be the object history, litera-
ture or art.
The people of Hudson County can rest
assured that with William D. Edwards
representing them in the State Senate
their interests, public and private, will b,
zealously guarded their rights strength
ened, their wrongs redressed, and their
well being watched over by man al
ways faithful to the trusts reposed in him,
be they of private or public nature.
And no spirit of prophecy is necessary
to point to the day when Hudson County
will scan the record of Mr.. Edwards in
the Senate. with feeling of pride at
having produced so able champion.

THE DEMOCRATIC p1ATFoRM.
The State Conventions Enumeration
of Principles.

The following is the platform of the
Democ ratio State Convention, on which
the campaign of this year is being fought
The Democrats of New Jersey inSConven-
ton assembled, de clare.
That we reaffirm tie doctrines declared
in the National platform of the party,
adopted at Chicago in 1884.
That we indorse the administration of
President Cleveland, and congratulate
the country upon the success which has
attended the efforts of the Democratic
party to reduce the cost of government
and the burdens Of taxation.
We express our grief for the death of
the many great Americans who have been
called from lits aD2 country since our
last convention, and that we pay the trib-
ute of our sorrow to the memory of
Ulysses S. Grant, George B. Mcclellan,
Winfield S. Hancock, Horatio Seymour,
Thomas A Hendricks and Samuel T..
Tilden.
That in the death of Samuel 7. Tilden
the people have lost sincere friend and
devoted statesman; that the national
grief which accompanied his body to the
tomb, contrasted with the general con-
tempt entertained for his competitor in
the Presidential election of 1876. attests
the love of the American people for the
principles of right and justice and their
adherence of fraud. 7''S-.-s~<S
We contemplate with pride and satisfac-
ton the administration of Governor
Albeit, and cordially affirm that he has
redeemed, with full, welI-rounded meas
ure, every pledge made by him to the peo-
pie of New Jersey when he was candi-
date for their SURFACES. By reason of the
adoption of many of his wise recommend
atoms the State Treasury has been guard
ed by the hands of prudence and economy.
The enactment of portion of the system
OF taxation of corporations, recommended
in his inaugural address, has, during his

pie from the imposition of a general tax

MIR. Green and oleomargarine.

AS to Mr.. Green's vote on the oleomar-
garine bill. When the bill was first intro
duced it provided for tax of ten cents
per pound on the manufactured article, but
Mr.. Green did not vote for or against it, be-
ing at home sick, although he was report
ed as voting forit. Had he been present
he would have voted against it. The bill
went to the Senate, where it was amended
by striking out the revenue features, but
retaining all the clauses preventing the
fraudulent sale of the article, and levying
such tax on the manufacture as would
pay all the expense of carrying out the
machinery of the law providing for inspec-
ton and enforcing penalties. When that
Dill came back to the House, Mr.. Green
voted for it and it was passed and ap-
proved by President Cleveland. Mr..
Green refused to vote for the imposition
of an exorbtant tax upon an American in
dustry which furnished cheap food pro-
duet to those people who chose to buy it.
But he did vote for the measure which re-
quired that the imitation article should be
marked and sold as such, in order that in
nocent people might not be imposed

stead, who was a member of the firm, was
subsequently the renowned King David of
the Hudson County Board Of Freeholders.
In March, 1879, he left Sheehan & Hal
stead to assume clerkship in the Surro-
gates ofice-his father being at that time
Surrogate. He was the only clerk in the
Office. The then Surrogate O'Neil died in
February, 1870, and Robert McCague was
made Surrogate. Mr.. O'Neill was his
chief clerk during his ten years of service;
and when William McAvoy was elected
Surrogate in 1880. he continued Mr..
O'Neill at the head of his office. Last
year the late Surrogate appointed O'Neill
Deputy Surrogate; and on Mr. McAvoy's
death Governor Albeit appointed him
Surrogate. When he was appointed. the
eminent fitness of the Governors selection
was everywhere conceded. He has been
the practical Surrogate of the county for
many years. No one had the temerity to
seek the position against candidate
whose fitness was so universally recog-
nized, and when the convention met there
was no candidate in the field against him,
and he was given the nomination by accla-
nation.
Mr.. O'Neill is man of few words, but
genial and popular. In person he is slim
and of medium height. He has blue eyes
and, in strong contrast with them, very
dark hair. His face shows man who is
fond of good living, but there is no sug-
gestion about him of the bon yi1ant.

1858. Two years later his parents moved
to Hoboken. They lived there for seven
years; then took up their abode in that
part of Jersey City which is now Hudson

ated in 1850 with high honors, took up the
study of law and was admitted to the bar
in 1883, becoming counsellor in 1886.
While residing in his native place he took
a lively interest in its affairs, and in 1852
was elected member of its Council. He
removed to Elizabeth in 1886 and at once
became interested in the movement then
on foot for the creation of Union County
from part of Essex. He was largely in
strumental in the passage of the act of
1857, which designated Elizabeth as the
county seat. During 1857 he was appoint
ed prosecutor of the borough courts by
Governor Newell, and the following year
became city attorney of Elizabeth, which
position he filed for ten years. In 1868
he was elected to the City Council from a
strong Republican ward, and so great was
his popularity that he continued to hold
the Office by successive reflections until
1873, when he retired. He was elected
Surrogate of Union County in 1862 and
appointed presiding judge of the Court of
Common Pleas and County Courts in
1868. During the succeeding year he was
appointed by Governor Randolph to the
commercial convention at Louisville as
representative of New Jersey. In 1873 he
was appointed by Governor Parker, and
confirmed by the Senate, as one of the
commissioners to suggest amendments to
the Constitution of the State.
In this convention he was chairman of
the Committee on Bill of Rights, Rights of
Suffrage, Limitation of Power of Govern
ment and General and Special Legislation.
The amendments suggested by the Com
mission were adopted by the two succeed
ing Legislatures, and ratified by the peo-
pie at the general election of 1873.
In this Commission he rendered notable
service to the people of the State. The
statute books in previous years had been
soverrun with special acts of all kinds. If
one railroad wanted to defeat another, it
went to the Legislature to kill off its rival

acts that overturned, frequently, the whole
jurisprudence of the State just to affect the
comparatively inconsequential interests of
single client. The State and local treas
uries were drained by this species of legis-
lation. and politics made Kaleidoscope by
it. The abuse of legislative functions be-
came disgrace to the State, and the Com
mission adopted the principle of general
laws on all subjects upon which they were
possible. The most important points on
which special legislation was inhibited
were suggested by Judge Green, and it
was by him that they were urged and
pressed till they became part of the States
organic law.

HIS RECORD ENDORSED.
What the knights of Labor Say.

In marked contrast with the record of
Mr.. Howey is that of Robert s. Green, the
Democratic candidate for Governor. He
voted for every bill introduced in the pres
emit Congress, which was calculated to adj
vance the true interests of American labor.
He voted for, and advocated every bill
providing for the forfeiture of land grants.
He voted to take 3,000,000 acres of land
from Jay Gould's Pacific railroads, and

the people. The following endorse

Il SKETCH OF THE DEMOORATIO
CANDIDATE FOR GOVERNOR.

A Lifelong Resident of the State
His Services in the State COnstitu-
tional Conventional Good POr-
trait of the Next Governor.
Robert Stockton Green, the Democratic
nominee. is a handsome man, of medium
height, with stocky figure, and bearing
which approaches the military. He has
steel-blue eyes, full, pleasant face. at
present a well-browned skin, and long.
silky moustache, which is nearly white.
His uniform good nature, and quiet, court

Mr.. Green was born at Princeton,

S. Green, lawyer, and the grandson of
the Rev. Ashbel Green. president of

BURDEN, AND THAT WILL EVENT
UALLY FORCE THEM TO BEAR

Lie BURDEN.
OF BOTH THESE IMPORTANT
AMENDMENTS TO THE STATE CON-
STITUTION, Mr.. GREEN WAS THE
AUTHOR.
In 1868 Judge Green was the choice of
Union County for Congress, and was only
defeated by few votes in the convention.
In 1884 lie was nominated for Congress
from the Third District, comprising the
counties of Union, Middlesex and Mon
mouth, after a memorable contest. Two
conventions were held, Judge Green being
nominated by both. After the first con-
vention the friends of William Mcmahon,
of Railway, now a candidate for the con-
gressional nomination again, claimed that
he had been cheated out of the nominal
ton. Judge Green, hearing this, posi-
lively refused to accept the nomination.
There was nothing left but to reassemble
the convention, when Judge Green was
declared its unanimous choice. He de-
feated Congressman Kean (Rep.) by 1000
majority, although the latter felt confident
of reelection.
Judge Green has always been staunch
Democrat, and was one of the delegates to
the Baltimore convention Of 1860, which
nominated Stephen A. Douglass for the
presidency. In January, 1874, the judge
became member of the bar of New York
as partner of the firm of Brown, Hall &
Vanderpoel, which afterward became
changed to Vanderpoel, Green & Cunning.
Judge Green has been very successful in
his profession, and is ranked as one of the
ablest constitutional lawyers in the State.
He was largely instrumental in working
up the preliminary litigation in the pass
age of the General Railroad law by the
Legislature in 1873. He has always taken
an active part in Union County politics,
and served for many years as the chair
man of the Union County Executive Com
mittee. Judge Green married in 1857 and
has very interesting family, including his
wife, one son and three daughters. He
was not at Trenton at all during the two
days when the fight was being made for
the nomination and the convention was
held. He has, in fact, hardly recovered
from serious sickness which prevented
him from attending many of the sessions
of Congress this year.
