Mr.. DUGAN BOILING MAD.
Hugh, ST., and Lawyer McGrath at
War Over the Park Bonds.

County Collector Dugan is generally a
good natured old gentleman who seeks
to avoid quarres, and great was the sur
prise yesterday of Freeholder Ellis, Coun-
sellor John A. McGrath, Clerk John Boyd
and others to see the gray haired old gem
tleman enter the Freeholders Office boil
ing over with ire.
"Let me see the resolution adopted at
the last meeting of the Board directing
the preparation of the County road and
Park bonds,o he said, sharply.
Clerk Boyd produced the resolution and
the Collector read it carefully, all the
time spluttering like piece of fat over a
fire.
what is wrong, collector" enquired
Freeholder Ellis, who had introduced the
resolution.
"Wrong2 I'll show you what is wrong"
shouted the angry collector. This reso-
luton provides that the Committee on
Finance and Audit and counsel of the
Board shall prepare these bonds and the
collectors name is left out. That is
what's wrong. This is the first time this
thing was ever done and gooseberry pie
the way this resolution shall read or I'll
be ice cream caked.
The angry old gentleman savagely
Qrasped pen, scowled at John A. Nc
Grath and drew the pencil through the
word counsel, substituting that of col-
lector.
Mr.. McGrath meekly said he thought
not, and the Collector shouted:--" Yes, it

WE SEE THE BLUFF.
RumOrs of Indictments Against the
"News" Circulated For Vile
Purpose.

The city is full today of rumor that
indictments have been found against
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS or some
persous connected with its man
agement. We believe the rumor is
untrue Even if it is true, no person
could know it in any legal or regular
way earlier than the persons concerned.
1t follows therefore that the rumor is
being deliberately circulated for some
purpose. That purpose is to frighten us
into abandoning our fight against the
Ring.
We will not do it. We are not the sort
of people who scare at shadows. We snap
our fingers at the Ring and its minions
We treat these threats with the
same disdain that we do certain threats
of physical violence which have reached
our ears.
We are sure of the honesty of our pur-
poses and the rectitute of our course and
we defy our enemies to do their worst.

two days. Those who do not favor it say
that the Jeffersonians will nominate
whether there be fusion or no fusion,
and that straight Republican candidate
would win by plurality over two
Democratic candidates That will depend
largely upon whom the Jeffersonians put
IN the field 1t Is a settled thing that
Sheriff Cronan will not get in unless he
can win, and he Is not anxious for it even
If he can win. II there be no fusion the
Jeffersonians might take up such a man
as Jim Brann, or possibly ex-Corouer
way; but not the kind of men calculated
to draw Democratic votes from a candi-
date wearing the Democratic label.
In that contingency the canvass would
assume the aspect of contest for mere
party supremacy. 1t would lose its Ring
and anti-Ring flavor: the Republican
would be left and the Ring, under the
guise of Democracy, would triumph.
Only short sighted partisans caring
nothing for the public welfare, are those
who think they can see a great party
triumph ahead, and who therefore urge
straight nominations. The pressure OF
men who would like to have the nomina-
tion has much to do in creating the anti
Fusion sentiment Police Justice Wan
ser is pushing for it, and it is said today
that Assemblyman Jimmy Erwin is also
hot-footed after 1t.
An enterprising News reporter, who
interviewed Justice Wanser this morn
ing, got him to say this:-"I never all ow
myself to be interviewed. learned in
my youth that silence was golden. Y"
NO FUSION ON CONGRESSMAN.
If fusion is to be made on Cronan for
Sheriff it may be that there will be none
on Congressman. The Republicans, even
some who favor fusion for Sheriff, seem
disposed to go it alone on Congressman.

left out in the cold by this deal of the
Bosses" said one prominent Republican
this morning. "How would Cronan and
McAdoo do for a Ring opposition ticket.
But then, Mr.. McAdoo's course in Con-
gress has been such that the Republicans
could not endorse him. But then the
Jeffersonians might put him in the field
as an independent candidate. and think
he would stand an even chance with Nc
Donald OF the Republican candidate of
winning. II could be assured that the
Jeffersonians would nominate McAdoo,
and that McAdoo would stand, think it
would be easy enough to bring about a
fusion on Cronan for Sheriff"
MR. M'ADOO.
Congressman McAdoo is not in town
today. He went to Washington yester-
day to see some of the leaders there. but
will be back again within day or two.
1t is not known whether he would stand
for the Jeffersonians If they would nom
mate him. He could scarcely secure a
Republican endorsement because he
won't go into the campaign
unless he be free to abuse the
Republicans sand tbyrant Reed, but no
one sees any reason why he should not be
an Independent anti-Ring candidate. He
is very mad at the way the bosses treated
him when he went on the Hill the other
day to consult him.
A well known Democrat makes the
other suggestion that, if the Republicans
refuse to fuse, the Jeffersonians might
make great fight by nominating
Cronan and endorsing Mcdonald for
Congress.

will, and resolution resembling the one
adopted at the last meeting shall be
passed tomorrow 0oday) when the
Board meets. or I'll be hamsandwiched." !"
Mr Dugan then left the office.
Counsellor McGrath waited until Mr..
Dugan had gone block away and then
very suddenly found himself very angry
at Mr.. Dugan's remarks. He declared in
just as forcible manner as the Collector
that the Freeholders should not resclnd
the resolution, adding as clincher:-"h
| do not prepare these bonds will not
approve of them, by hickory nuts"
A general laugh greeted this out burst
for the approval of the counsel is not a
necessary feature Mt all.
1t appears that Collector Dugan fears
that Mr.. McGrath is gradually usurping
the Collectors powers as an adviser to the
Board and that the unsatisfactory resolu-
tion was drawn by Mr.. McGrath for the
sole purpose of leaving the Collector in
the cold. This may be true for it is well
known that the Collector is not frien d
of the Park bonds and it may have been
feared he would in some manner retard
their issue

State POLITICS.
Samuel Fowler Entllusias-
tical1y Renominated for
Congress in the
Fourth.
Special to the jersey city Ne,cs.

BELvIDERE. Sept. 1S, 1S90.-The Fourth
New Jersey Democratic Congressional
Convention was very enthusiastic affair
yesterday. The nominee, Samuel Fowler.
has already been in Congress for two
years. His denomination was shrewd
move on the political chess board on the
part of Cornish. of Washington, whose
son is slated for the State Senatorship
this fall.
Mr.. Pidock was early on the ground and
had his forces ready TO back him if there
was chance of his getting the nomina-
tion, but the opposition forces were too
strong and he dared not push his claim.
For the sake of harmony ne stepped out
of the way and Fowler carried off the
honorS.
John Carpenter, of Hunterdon county,
was made permanent chairman with one
vice president from each of the four coun
ties comprising the district. The resolu-
tion adopted pledged anew the devotion of
the convention to the Democratic party
and reaffirmed the principles embodied in
the resolutions of the last Democratic
National Convention. They referred
with pride to 'wise and satisfactory ad-
ministration of State affairs" by that
aggressive Democratic leader, Governor
Albeit. They viewed with anxious
alarm the bold act of the National Ad-
ministration" and favored tariff revision.
The Mckinley bill and all other Repub-
lican measures were severely condemned.
When nominations were called for
Lawyer Simonson, of Essex county, in q
glowing speech, in which he portrayed
the harmony existing among the Demo-
cratic brethren, renominated Mr.. Fowler,
and the other counties fell in line
Fowler was conducted to the platform
and made characteristic speech He
said he was not egotistical enough to sup
pose that the denomination was owing to
his distinguished ability, but he accepted
it with great pleasure. He alluded to his
nomination of two years ago by saying
that it was mot by acclamation but
rather by damnation," and that there
was more hilarity and deviltry in that
convention than unanimity."

by legislation and by executive acts to
honor the men who preserved the Union.
But States and countries are not upheld

and fear it never will until the stars

REYIyING THE HELLO.
New Gables and Wires to Repair Yester-

New Cables and Wires to Repair Yester-
days Fire Damage.
Immediately after the fire in the Flem-
ming Building was extinguished yester-
day the telephone company placed
twenty-five men at work in
stringing wires to replace the burned out
wires. Two large rolls of cable, each roll
containing fifty wires, were placed on
the corner of Washington and Mont
gomery streets. and as these cables
were unwound they were strung
on the cross-pieces Of the poles and
cut off in lengths of about
one hundred and fifty feet after
which one end OF each length was at
taehed to the switchboard and the other
end connected with the partly burned
out wires.
SIX Of the lengths run from the switch
board, through the window and over the
roof to the tower. where the wires enter
the building; six other lengths run
west from the window and on telegraph
pole. where they are connected
with other wires. while the
six remaining lengths run towards the
river and connect with the wires of the
section below Washington street
All day yesterday linemen were busy
shining up poles, hanging from the roof
and testing the wires.
