McADOO'S BOOM.
The Foxy Congressman
Working for a Re-
nomination.

Cong gressman McAdoo, of Virginia,
late of New Jersey, believes with Shakes
peare that ssthere is tide in the affairs
leads on to victory Mr.. McAdoo-beg
pardon: forgot it was SO near election;
plain Billy-eviden has believed that
for many years. and he has popped up
lively as a-acricket at each food. He. no
doubt, believes there is another of these
foods near at hand, for he has, as usual,
popped up. He did it via Hoboken. from
which place, by easy stages, he expects
to reach his long forsaken home in Jer
sey City. In plain words he wants to be
reelected to Congress.
Foxy and sly, as usual, and with the
same profound respect for the late la
mented Ananias he has ever borne, par
ticularly when in negotiations for re-
nominations, he has caused it to be whis-
pered about by some trusty henchman
that he is not seeking the honor again,
but If it should be thrust on him-well--
he might possibly be induced to continue
to draw a Congressman's salary tor just
one more term.
Three OF four weeks ago Fred Mershei-
mittee of the County Committee, met
Mr. McAdoo in Was hington. Plain Billy
was all smiles when in one of the sweet
est and softest of whispers he told Fred
that he was not candidate for another
term; "but, I" said Fred, that is what ne
said, and the word said was strongly
emphasized by Mr.. Mersheimer.
VOICE IN PRINT.
Soon after this the rumors throughout
the county became stronger that Mr.. Nc
Ado0 was once more in the field, and a
general sounding of the people was begun
by his agents in such sly and quiet way
that, until the Hoboken Nca0S boldly pro-
claimed that McAdoo was a candidate,
notwithstanding a letter he had pub
lished to the contrary, the politicians in
the county did not realize that still
hunt had been going on by the foxy Will
lam. Now they know it, and could Plain
Billy hear some of the remarks made
that the county of Hudson must be repre-
sented by him in Congress.
Sheriff Davis, when spoken to about
Mr.. McAdoo's prospects, expressed con-
tempt for him, and dismissed the matter
from his thoughts with these wprds:-"I
don't know anything about t, but don't
believe he is candidate.
Register George B. Fielden generally
knows what is going onin Hudson County
politics. and when l asked him if he
thought Mr.. McAdoo was a candidate,
he replied From what have seen in
newspapers, and letters that have been
sent ] believe he is. Other things have
taken place, too, that confirm me in this
opinion. Personally, am not in favor OF
him; am in favor of Eddie Mcdonald.
WHAT ALLAN M'DERMoTT SAID.
"Do you think McAdoo will run againw
asked chairman Allen McDermott
Rum" don't know; | hardly think
he will; but he might, although he does
not live here. He ran when he got a
nomination, and when he didn't, and he
might do it again. He does not now rep
resent this county If Mr.. McAdoo Is
pluming himself upon his righteousness
in the way Of politics, and desires photo
graphs of a few promissory notes he gave
after congressional nomination was
stolen for him, to offer in evidence, all
he has to do is to obtain another nomina-
tion by the same tactics he has pursued
in the past. ! am against him. He does
not live here. "
Mr.. McAdoo is not expected in this city
until later in the season when, it is gener-
ally believed, he will endeavor TO carry
the convention by the usual promises he
SO freely has made and forgotten in the
past, and a judici0us manipulation of
that ever useful damsel Mary Kennedy" /"
Billy is candidate, but as surely as he
has been elected before he will be defeated
this time. He is beaten now for it is an
utter impossibility for him TO procure the
nomination by any method. Billy for
once has failed to catch the flood at the
right time.
