The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1890-10-30

mislead voters with the fake statement
that city taxes had been greatly reduced
under the new charter.
Il say to you.n said Mr. McEwan,
you viii not see one tax bill until
after the election. You will then see what
Jugglery has been resorted to in order 10
mlsiead you. There Is 10 reason why
those bills should not have been issued in
October, as they were in New York. 1t is
mere bunco steer"
wANsER SAYS HE WILL GET THERE.
Colonel Wanser was greeted with
wlld burst of enthusiasm. We expect"
he said, Ito receive large vote The work
ingmen, the jeffersonians aud the Repub-
licans demand q change of government,
and they are going to have it. Pull to-
gether and bring out the full strength OF
the vote and we have nothing to fear.
Don't let honest Democrats say the day
after the election, II you had only come
been defeated, Mr. McEwan will be
elected. Pm somewhat modest about my
claims. but If were to make them I'd
say I'm going to be elected by 5000
majority" [Applausel
Referring to the gerrymandering
changes that have been continually going
on, placing him first in one district and
then in another.the Judge remarked that
1T made no difference. I'm going to carry
my district, Bath House precinct and all,
promise you in return for your support
will administer the duties OF the Office
OF Sheriff as they should be administered
The duty is plain. I thank you for this
kind reception. Good night
The Judge then left with Mr.. McEwan
to address a meeting in Hoboken.
j. Herbert POJts was the next speaker,
and aroused enthusiasm for the entire
tickeu. He said there was but one issue
in the present campaign-the abolition OF

that governs the county. ut is import
ant to the taxpayers" he said. Il am
surprised that Mr.. Edelstein should issue
a PRONUNCIATION at this time, claiming
that the city was in a splendid financial
condition. Why didn't he send out the
tax bills with it?''
sALINGER's ROBUST TALK.
Alderman Max Salinger was loudly
called for as Ring Fighter" His APP
pearance was greeted with great ap-
plause. Mr.. Sallnger said some time ago
he was asked II he was going to vote the
Democratic ticket this fall. He replied
NO" "Why not?" asked his interloc-
county Democrat. To be one in the
present stage is TO be striker. heeler. q
kicker and fluffy ballot box stuffer
[Applause.l Going back few years Mr..
Salinger said when he was member OF
the Board Of Aldermen, Of which
there were but twelve members.
the ballot box used to contain
fifteen or sixteen votes, and when he was
elected president, they actually stole the
box and wouldn't yield until he secured
Supreme Court mandamus. Then they
didn't want to fight, and don't now when
you stand them before JOB HI Lippincott.
( (Applause.) "Thank God for such an hon
whether he's re-appointed or not.
His nrQPr1nq more bnAn MS
salary,p continued Mr.. Salinger. "The
ballot box suffers are now in the atti-
tude of the frightened prisoner before a
Judge who, to calm his fears, said, BE
calm You'll get justice here That's
just what I'm afraid of responded the
prisoner
''The Ring leaders, said Mr.. Salinger, !,
'sare afraid Of the honest vote of H hudson
county. Our city governmens--God
knows that Is rotten enough-]applansel
is not the government of the people. We
are told the infamous charter was passed
plause,] 1t was passed by the strikers
and heelers and gutter snipes, who stuffed
the ballot boxes. 1t was never passed by
the people OF Jersey City. 1t is for that
reason that Orestes Cleveland left his Of
fee in order to allow Democratic presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen
to sign the document. Honest Demo-
ashamed Of it and ran away from 1t.
They had to be hunted up in the wilds of
New Jersey Its progenitors cried stop
thief' at the Big Four. Gentlemen,
when you see one thief crying stop thief
at another e'sinyariably trying to shield
himself"
Mr. Salinger attacked Mr. Edelstein's
fake announcement that taxes had been
reduced, and pronounced it a blind Then
he attacked the idea of building schools
from the money derived from liquor
licenses.
"But they don't build the schools even
now" said voice in the crowd.
"A drunkard comes staggering along
the Streets" said Mr.. SalinRer. land
points up to school house and says, See
what have DONE School houses are as
sacred as the churches. The foundation
of religion is laid in the school house. To
build them from liquor license money is
a disgrace to Jersey City"
.They say we are repairing the streets. !"
"Wheres' asked voice i'll the crowd
"Well, they say So A year ago they
repaired portion of Newark avenue.
They had fifteen laborers and o team en-
ployed. A man named 'sWatty" was the
foreman. 1t took them just three months
to do what ought to have been done In
three weeks. One Saturday I said to a
friend of mine, now I'l just mark where
they left off. 1t was at telegraph pole,
and could easily be remembered. 1t was
but short distance from the Court
House entrance. The next Saturday they
stopped at the entrance to the office Of
the Board OF Freeholders. [Wild ap-
plausel. One half of the money spent in
repairing our street is wasted. That is a
mild word, but for the present I'll simply
say wasted. In refusing the Jeffersonians
representation they've put themselves in
a hole, for Whom the gods desire to de-
stroy they first make mad"
