On what possible theory the Street
and water Board pretended to sus-
pend Mike O'Mara for an offence
committed in New York while they
retain twenty-five other scoundrelly
heelers who are under Indictment for
offences committed in this county, is
more than we can understand. The
matter of legal proof has nothing to
do with it, for O'Mara has not yet
been convicted in New York any
more than he and the Others have
been in Hudson county.
OF course we know the 'ssuspen-
sionn of O'Mara was an impudent pre-
tence, but we would like to see
so much sense of decency shown in
the other cases as is involved in even
a p~retence of suspension. The present
cynical contempt for public opinion
is an insult to the whole community.
CONGRESSMAN MCADoo, of Virginia.
with his customary shrewdness, has
contrived to get up a sensation about
himself. First he got a Trenton cor
respondent to send to Colonel Shep-
herds religious publication a letter.
saying that he was about to retire
from Jersey politics and seek
d Virginia nomination for Con-
gress. This article, of course,
gave Mr.. McAdoo a chance to deny of,
which he was swift to avail himself.
He wrote to the Hoboken EcenSng
Neaos a letter which between
the lines is intended to in
form the voters of Hudson that
Mr.. McAdoo will again be a
candidate for their suffrages next
November.
But this is not all. Mr.. McAdoo
has a little boom in reserve, and his
letter is the excuse for s%pringing it.
Mike Coyle, Of Hob oxen, has it in
charge. 1t is a gentle and insinua
ting little boom. Past services
brilliant young orator" Nself-made
man, faithful democrat" and all
the other stock material are daintily
woven through it.
But it will not work. Mr.. McAdoo
looms up in Hudson every two years,
for a month or two before election,
and then slips away to Virginia for
the other twenty-five. Where was
he in the last gubernatorial com
paign? Did anyone aver hear of
him? Where does he live? Where
does he spend his time and his money?
What does he do for Hudson any
way?
No, no, William. 1t will not do.
Pack up your boom and take it down
to Ole Virginny. Try your brilliancy
on the folk down there where you
live. Colonel Stevens, or Edward f.
Mcdonald, or Colonel John McAner-
ney will suit us far better. They may
not dazzle like you, but they live at
home.
