stitptional questions
And now it is stated that fund is being |
raised for Joel Parker to enable him to ac-
cept the Gubernatorial nomination Bosh | |
Our own Gus Hardenbergh and host of |
other Democrats can beat the Republican |
nominee, be he who he may.
Water Registrar Murphy, OF Hoboken,
declares he will run independent for that
Office If he does not receive the nomina-
ton. Collector Mcmahon tried that few
| years ago, but it cost heaps Of money and
required terrible amount of ballot-box

| Il was fun to see Mr.. Phil Hexsmer, IT,,
at six o'clock last Sunday morning riding
full blooded Kentuckian in his fathers
academy clad in the dashing uniform of
an Austrian hussar, in which he firted dur
4 ing the entire night at the bal masque of
i the German Club.
The fact that Willie Walter Phelps has
invited lot of ordinary New Jersey NOR
tails to pitch their tents IN his parlors
/ during q one of the evenings of their
| Washington visit, proves conclusively that
the Banged Apollo of the Hackensack will
shortly go fishing for votes.
i Terry Mcdonald says that his love for
/ vote for the Washington street bridge and
qualities IBIS remark by saying that the
/ building of the bridge would destroy the
sugar houss indu try and throw hundreds
Of men out Of employment.
Prosecutor Winfield an Spanish vo
cabnlary are occupying hammock on
the Cuban sugtr plantation of Senior Don
Carlos, the Castilliin grandeo who only
once was worsted, and that. too, in the
German hostslry of Charley Klegebehn at
| Hcboken, about three years ago.
| What with asracket court, new variety
| theatre and a gil led dram shop, all within
| stones throw of each other on Hudson
street, .ahe Hoboken Lind and Improve
ment Company has evidenced desire to
abandon their former goody-goody policy
and turn their attention to money making
Even the most sanguine of William
i Phelps friends ad:ait that Joel Parker
can beat him out of sight for Gov
i eruor But there are other Democrats
who can do the same thing, and if our
only Joel listens to the seductive promises
of the Hackensack Brigade, he may wake
up some fine morning in November to
learn that he has lost both the Chief Exec
utiye and the Judgeship.
A startling rumor is current that Joel
Parker will under no circumstances accept
the Democratic gubernatorial nomination,
because the Republicans have promised
him the reappointnent to the Supreme
bench in the event of the election oil
William Walter Phelps as Governor Mr..
Parker desires very much to retain his
seat on the bench for another term, and
has had enough of gubernatorial honors.

nomination in Hoboken. The "never to-
be-set-upon Bridge Besson wants the
nomiAation of that party for Water Regis
trar. Police Commissioner Kaufman is
looking for the Democratic nomination,
but rather than let him have it, Mr.. James
Curran will take it himself. And Mr.. Her
man L. Thinker will run whether he gets
it or not.
1t has been mystery why it was that
Barbara Zinderhoff, the convict who boil
stored up Minnie Schaeffer's story, so sud-
denly changed front on the story she first
told, in which she completely exonerated
the keeper. May not the squib published
in the State Gdzette right after the trial, to
the effect that if Keeper Laverty is not
promptly removed, the Court of Pardens
should release her at its next session, in
March, furnish the explanation
Mr.. Henry Reiohe and Mr.. Chas. P. Kali
gebehn, of Hoboken, will shortly receive
sixteen wild bears from the forests of
Pommerania, to be utilized in a grand hunt
on the track OF the North Hudson Driving
Park Association. Mr.. George Timme will
be master of the chase, and all the hunts
men of this and neighboring States are al
ready preparing their guns in anticipation
of the event. As q matter of prevention

The Trenton State Gazette has settled the
question the day after Governor Abbe.t s
st inaugural message appeared 1t was
Senator Griggs and not Mr.. Albeit who
was the author of the railroad tax bill just
declared unconstitutional But since that
event brother Murphy declares it was all
the communistio work of the Governor,
and that everybody knew that such mon
strous bill would be upset by the Court.
In the words of Private Secretary Fish,
sit is hardly fair to confront tho Gazette
with its own record of more than thirty
days standing"
And now the Republican papers are in
dustriously circulating the story that ex-
senator Levi D. Jarrard is slowly dying in
the State Prison, and that. unless promptly
released he cannot live year. That of
course means an attempt to nave him par
doned at the next meeting of the Court.
The truth is that the old Republican boss
is in much better health and spirits now
I than he was whom he entered the institu-
| ton about three years ago to serve his ten
| years sentence, and there is very per-
ceptiblc increase in his weight The same
means were resorted to to procure the
pardon of Jim Hedden, and although years
have elapsed since President Arthur was
informed that Mr.. Hedden would die with
in a few months unless released frcm
prison he stin lives there in very good
health.
The German Club, of Hoboken, is noted
for the brilliancy of its ent rtainments,
given at its spacious clubhouse on Hudson
street, in which there is the finest ball
room IN the county, and complete the
atrical stage; but the masquerade ball
given by them on Saturday, the Goth inst,
eclipsed all their former efforts. 1t really
was ''bal masque'- not one of the mon
grel affairs of nowadays, where the few
masquerade costumes are lost in the sea
of conventional swallow-tails and evening |
toilets. Up to midnight not a single un-
masked person was on the hoo-, and the |
hundreds of gorgeous costumes worn by the |
ladies and gentlemen, the superb decora- |
| tons of the hall, and the constant change |
of lights, presented scene that reminded |
one of fairy land. The great gypsy process |
sion, with the mother of the tribe in a cart /
and the queen borne on the shoulders of |
six of her swarthy followers, and the gypsy |
tableau on the STAGE were masterpieces of |
spectacular art. Then followed the dance |
of the Zingaris. executed by fifty ladies and |
gentlemen, dressed in costumes as beauti-
full as they were correct. The rendering of |
an aria by the queen was rewarded by |
thunders Of applause. DR.. Timme, as Rip /
Van Wiukle "a perfect copy of Joe Jeffer-
sony, and Mr. Boehme, as Bavarian nurse
maid, deserved medals for their excellent |
representations. Nearly all the wealth and |
fashion of Hoboken was present, and the |
costumes were magnificent beyond any
thing ever before seen in this State.
