ELECTION FRAUDS.
AN EXPOSURE OF GRIMES IN JERSEY
CITY BEGUN.
The Methods of the Corrupt Politicians to
be Fully Shown Up-Proof at Hand
Which VIII be Spread Before
a Legislative Committee.
Ne.u YORK Ereninq Post.


Hudson county, New Jersey, and par
ticularly that portion of it which Jersey
City comprises, has for many years been
notorious for fraudulant methods of con-
Quoting elections. Probably not an cleo
ton has occurred there in years, either
municipal, county, State or National, but
that frauds have been practiced at the
polls. So common have these practices
become that the people look for nothing
else. Immunity from prosecution has SO
often fallen to the lot of the perpetrators
of these ontrages on the public ballot-box
that efforts to conceal the crimes are no
longer made. In fact, prosecution is out
of the question. The men who would be
chiefly affected by prosecution of these
offenses are the persons upon whom the
labor ard responsibility of the prosecution
would devolve.
Bad as have been the ballotbox crimes
of past years in Hudson county, they are
thrown completely into the shade by
those which took place at the recent
election. Despite the precautions TO pre-
vent fraud taken by the managers of the
Republican canvass in the late campaign,
the most open and daring crimes were
committed at the polls. They were COM
mitted without fear of interference, and
without fear of exposure. With the only
local Republican paper in Jersey City (the
Evening JoatYYlat) 'smuzzled" by the APP
pointment of one of its editors Cornelius
Benson) as Police Commissioner under
the Democratic ring, the 'heelers" were
not afraid of having their crimes related
in the public prints.
The Evening Post has made careful
investigation OF number of cases, and
has seen proofs of the commission of these
frauds. These proofs are now also in the
hands of members of the Hudson County
Republican Committee, who are gathering
them for purpose-not to lay before the
Grand Jury, for Grand Jury in Hudson
county that would indict ballot-box
suffer or repeater could not be empan-
eled. The evidence that is being collected
by the County Committee Is TO be laid be.
fore an investigating committee that will
surely be appointed by the Republican
State Senate when that body meets in jan
uary. 1t will be appointed especially for
the purpose OF investigating election
frauds committed in Hudson county
This action has been determined upon by
Gerret A. Hobart, of Passaic county, and
ex-United States Senator William J.
Sewell, of Camden, both members of the
Republican State Committee, and the ac-
knowlcdgcd leaders of the Republican
party In New Jersey. The investigation
may result in the unseatng OF Edward f.
Mcdonald, the Democratic Senator elect
from Hudson county. The Republican
leaders in Hudson county, however, say
that this is not the most important object
of the investigation. They hope TO secure
an official and effective exposure of the re-
cent frauds in the belief that this will
arouse the honest people Of Hudson
county to overthrow the rascals who now
control their local affairs.

why You Have n Nick in your Coat Lapel
Did you ever wonder why the little
v-shaped nick was placed in the juno
ture of your coat lapel? / suppose you
have. Occasionally we all have our little
Illuminating spells and fall TO wondering
the why's of the many odd things we sec
about us. Hold your coat up before you
and you will see at a glance that it will
''setn just as well without the nick ss
with 1t. Therefore, the matter Of fit can
not be given as proper solution of the
fact that it is there. Without apparent pur-
pose this nick is clipped from the lapel Of
every freck coat worn 10 the world. -
But there was motive in the madness of
the first man who adopted the little insig-
mia of distinction. will tell you about
it: When the first Napoleon gave way TO
his ambition he tried TO implicate General
Moreau in Pichegrin's conspiracy. Mo-
reau had been Napoleon's superior and was
very popular, but under the circumstances
as Napoleon was on top, it was not safe
to express publicly any sympathy with
Moreau; so his admirers secretly agreed
to nick their coat lapels to show who they
were. Carefully note the outlines Of the
first coat front you see that is well fitted
and buttoned, and see il you cannot plain
ly detect the initial letter NJ in its wind
ings. The M will appear upside down,
the little hicks forming its sides. nj was
the initial letter of Moreau, and his cham
pions were known by the hicks in the Ia
pels of their coats. --'S. Louis Republic.

The Democrats of Iowa celebrated their
victory of last month by holding a rcccp-
ton and torchlight procession in Sioux
City last week. The choice of place
for the occasion was a happy one. OF all
places in the State which have shown a
persistent disregard for the prohibition
law Sioux City has been the most notori-
GUS. II has won for itself an nnenyiable
reputation in this respect The character
OF its population is such that it was i'm
possible TO enforce the law. Saloons
have openly iiourished and breweries
have been kept in operation. Sioux City
was also the scene Of the murder of the
Rev. MIR. Haddock, who was killed by
the liquor interest for his persistent Efforts
in trying to shut up the groggeries. 1t
was natural therefore for the Democrats
to choose Sioux City as the most appro-
pirate scene for joliflcalion over their
victory. -Phila. Press.

For the past fifteen years we'll
organized gang of robbers has been
operating the Southwestern portion
Of Green county, Pennsylvania, and
the eastern part of Marshall and
Wetzell counties, West Virginia, and
during all that period have defed
successful prosecution. Horses,
sheep and swine have been stolen,
graineries and corn-cribs robbed,
mills broken open and looted, stores
raided and every species of farm
machinery and other portable prop
erty carried off. The headquarters
of the gang was in Pennsylvania (;
everything stolen was hurried over
the line. Arrests were otter made
in Green county, but there were al
ways enough of the rascals to swear
suspected comrades out of trouble.
Saturday last David Gorby and
Hezekiah Kemble were arrested and
taken to the Littleton Jail. There
Gorby made confession, extending
over fourteen years and including
nearly seventy-five robberies. -Four
other arrests were at once made and
others will follow, thoroughly break
ing up the gang.

Ohio Penitentiary AbIaze.

COLUMBUS, ONO, Aug. 27.-One of
the most exciting CONGREGATIONS that
has visited this city in years occurr-
ed at the Ohio penitentiary this
evening. About s O'Clock flames
were discovered in the factory build
ing occupied by the Columbus Chair
Co. The fire started in the boiler
room, where shavings became ignited
by Goals from the boiler furnace.
The. flames had made great Roadway
when discovered, and the prison fire
department was utterly helpless.
The city department arrived prompt
ly, but on account of a poor supply
of water was unable to check the fire.
The flames spread from the chair
factory to the buildings occupied by
the Columbus Bolt Works and a
large warehouse. In less than an
hour the three buildings were total
wreck. There was a brisk breeze
during the progress of the fire, and
for time it seemed that the flames
would devastate the space inside the
prison walls, which is crowded with
factory buildings.

The London Strike.

LONDON, August 27.-The strike
situation is unchanged. Ships are
being unloaded at Chatham and
Southampton without interference.
The printers employed by the
firms of Eyer & Spottiswoode, Cas-
sell & Company and Waterloo Il Son
have struck. One hundred thousand
striking dock laborers marched in
procession to-day.
The strikers number 10000. The
coal porters at important centers are
joining the strikers. Two hundred
and fifty steamers are lying in the
docks awaiting cargoes. Riverside
factories employing thousands of
hands are closing for lack Of coal.
Coal men in thousands have joined
the strikers. Meetings of employers
and workmen continue to be held,
but without result. The directors
of the Commerce Dock Company
have declined an offer Of the services
of 8 900 Belgian laborers at 4 pence
per hour. e.
The Salvation Army, the London
Cottage Mission and similar bodies
are materially assisting the strikers
with cheap or gratuitous meals and
lodgings. The coal operatives have
rejected an offer from the London
Dock Company of shilling an hour,
dinner and beer, and protection from
the strikers.
