IS THIS MERE TALK
A Republican Organs Story About
General Grubb.
Special to the Jersey city Nesos.


CAMDEN, May 10, 1890 The Philadel-
phia Press (Republican) in a Trenton LETT
ter this morning has the following extra
ordinary expressions:
Allan l.. McDermott, the chairman of
the Democratic State Committee, is keep
ing a careful watch on General f. Burd
Grubb, who has been entirely too active
of late. No one can give the reasons for
this activity.
The Atlantic county investigation,
which the Democrats so Justify called
into existence, has proved to be fizzle.
The Democrats, however, are still fondly
clinging to it for reason that leaked out
only a few days ago.
If Senator Mcdonald is unseated the
big majority of Leon Albeit melts from
view. In fact General E. Bird Grubb
will have majority over him and be en-
titled to sit in the Executive Chamber.
Throwing out all the Democratic pre-
cincts where fraud has been discovered
hundred for General Grubb in Hudson
county. Abbett's majority outside of this
county is only 737, leaving General Grubb
a few less than four hundred State ma
jority.
1t is not known whether the hero of
Edgewater Park will take advantage of
this peculiar situation to make fight for
the seat or not. The Democrats do not
intend to take any chances.
They suspect that his interest in the
Hudson county investigation was pre-
meditated. He had careful watchers at
every session of the committee, and this
precaution led the Democrats to be in
quisitive. Governor Albeit knows the
General to be man of grit and therefore
he caused the Atlantic county investiga-
tion to be called into existence. If the
unseating of Senator Mcdonald leopard
ICES the Albeit majority, it is possible
that the entire vote of Atlantic county
will be thrown out. General Grubb re-
ceived 571 majority, and this would more
than offset Abbett's loss in Hudson coun-
ty, and would make contest difficult.
The committee have found no evidence
of fraud in Senator Gardner's bailiwick.
However they are disposed to make cap
ital of the fact that the ballot boxes pre-
scribed by the law have not been used.
The Democrats in the emergency would
not hesitate to raise the question, even
though the old boxes have been used by
the advice of the county's legal advisor.
"A pretty fight would follow should Gen
eral Grllbb take any action. but he cannot
be induced to make any statement on the
subject, and these possibilities constitute
the uppermost themes discussed in the
secret sessions of the leaders of both
parties

TRENTON, May IL, 1s90.-A movement is
on foot to get cheaper ice in this city.

fifty cents a hundred and to small con-
sumers at about fifty or seventy cents a

table change has taken place in that por-

there and the once pretty dwelling houses
are crowded with laborers working for
small wages.
The laborers are principally foreigners,
who follow the customs of their native
land. where the Sabbath is recognized as
a day for relaxation and pleasure. The
chief source OF enjoyment here on Sun
day has been in imbibing beer and other
intoxicants. Tney are bringing up their
children in their way, and church and
Sunday school are forgotten. Not one
exists in this thickly populated district.
The enthusiasts who have been engaged
in missionary work in the lower section
of the city decided to enter this field.
They secured the floor of dwelling
which, until two years ago, was used as
the German Methodist Episcopal Church.
