| SQUARE STATEMENT.
The Jefferson-Labor Party
Tell Their Reasons for
Supporting the Re-
publican Ticket.

The Jeffersonion- Labor Executive
Committee had meeting at their
headquarters in Hoboken on Tues
day night. At their last meeting a
special committee was appointed to
draft an address to the people. The
following is the product of their
labors:-
10 the Honest Voters Of Hudson
County.
1--WE, the undersigned Executive
Committees of the Jeffersonian and
Labor Democracy, recommend the
election of the entire Republican
ticket for these reasons
'sFyrSt- Because, through the trick
cry of the Ring, which claims to be
the Regular Democratic Party Of this
county, we have been prevented
from voting for the candidates Of cur
choice.
Second Because the candidates
placed in nomination by the so-called
Regular Democrats are the plant
tools of this corrupt Ring, which at
the election last fall so manipulated
the ballot boxes that 10, 600 fraudulent
votes were counted for their candi-
dates and the will of the people set
aside.
Third Because this corrupt Ring
has control of all the departments of
the county and of the city Of jersey
City, and is increasing the public
debt at an enormous rate without any
corresponding benefit to the people,
and is aiming at the control of the
State itself.
"Foatrt7s--Becau of the manipula-
tion of this Ring, our juries are OF
such calibre as to make the obtain
ing Of justice a difficult task, SO that
application for struck juries is of
necessity a common occurrence.
Fifth Because through its cor
rupt power this Ring levies blackmail
upon some of the business men of our
county, and unnecessarily oppresses
DlOSE W llO . A1Ob b14CAA NkAAAfA6 uOO&Gs
n isSiUth--Because no other remedy Is
open to us at this time-no great
political questions are involved; it is
a question of honest government only
as against keeping ignorant and COR
rupt persons from gaining further po-
litical power.
DATED October ~, 1890"
The candidates then presented the
following declaration and asked to
have it attached to the foregoing
eve, the undersigned, who had
been nominated by the United Jeffer-
sonians and Labor Democracy of this
county, having been prevented
through the trickery and inanipula-
tions of the Ring from having our
names placed on the official ballots,
as required by the new law, and hav-
ing thus been forced to withdraw
from the canvass, do hereby recon-
mend that all honest voters, irrespect-
i've of party, cast their ballots at this
election for the candidates nominated
by the Republican party, in order
that the power of the most corrupt
Ring which has ever held sway in
any community may be broken.
