GREEN AND
On Equal Taxation.


On Equal Taxation.
On Tuesday evening the Lecture Hall ii
Salem was crowded with persons to heal
Gov. Green and Leon Albeit speak on the
issues of the campaign. A. H. Shape was
chairman and NJ. F. Riley, Secretary.
Gov. Green first spoke very deliberately
and dispassionately on the qualifications o.
the Democratic candidate. He said the
Office of Gov. is no sinecure and a man need;
q certain training to act as Gov. Why
should we not apply to it the same princi'
pies as in business. Mr.. Albeit had beer
legal advisor of Hoboken, legislator and
Governor and has had a better training than
any other man in the State for the position.
He has a civil record of which he and his
children may be proud. He has always
been on the side of the people against cor
poration.
He was true to the workingmen in secur'
ing the passage of the bill in the Senate to
compel all employers to pay cash instead
of in store orders, and also in securing the
passage of a law to make the wages Of tram
men a preferred claim against railroads,
thus securing to the trainmen of the Central
X. r. $4OO,O 900 wages.
What are the qualifications of Gen.
Grubb? He has no civil record. State
craft requires a certain training and does
not come by intuition. Gen. Grubb being
a man of means has lived in luxury and
ease and taken no interest or part in public
affairs, yet he has the audacity to say
New Jersey has long been in the need OF a
better Governor, and if 1 I'M elected | prom
ise 10 fill that need.
In this way he criticises such men as
Theodore Randolph, Joel Parker, Joseph
D. Bedle, George B. Mcclellan, George c.
Ludlow and Leon Albeit. He promised to
do better than any Of these. When Gener'
al Mcclellan ran for office did Genera
Grubb think the soldiers of the State should
all vote for him because of his military
record? He has no right to ask Democratic
soldiers to follow any rules he did not fol
low under similar circumstances
Governor Albeit kept his promises with
regard to taxation and secured the passage
Of the act of 1884 and the Democratic party
and the Governor who succeeded him re-
garded it as a legacy left to them. Thu
keeping of promises is a very important
par. of this campaign. No doubt General
Grubb meant to keep his promises if he was
placed in a position where he could do 80,
but the people were not going to put him
where he could do so.
A year g the Republicans said it their
ticket was elected there would be prosperity.
Are the fires burning brightly in the glass
factories tonight? No.
Ex.Gov. Albeit was next introduc.
ed. lie said he stood before the people
asunaminous nominee of the Democratic
rarity. In this canvass 1 am appealing
not merely to the people of this State
to vote for me as an individual be
cause the representative Of a great par
ty is entitled not only to the suffrages
of those that may like him personally;
bul, If they believe that he will honestly
redeem the pledges he makes on behalf
of his party, he is entitled to the suf-
frsses of every man in his party,
whether they like him personally or not.
1t is because he represents the immor.
tai principles of his party; it is because
he represents the great and living issues
which car only receive success in the
special election by his success.
He had been handed a paper contain
ing the record of Leon Albeit. II was
a rehash Of charges from Is to 25 years
ago which had been answered at the
polls six years ago by nearly 1000 ma
jOrity. When he represented a limited
constituency he looked to its interest
but when he represented the whole
state he looked TO the interest Of the
whole people. Before he was elected
Gov. they said he would MT keep his
