Ring in any way that would have tell

Wanser. The following resolution was
then adopted
| Resolved, That we endorse the whole

| A transparency had been ordered for

one made bearing the following inscrip

| REPRESENTATIONS DEMOCRACY,
! As we have been prevented by political
trickery from voting for the candidates
| of our choice, we have endorsed the whole
Republican ticket, and we recommend
all good citizens to vote it in order that
Ring Rule in Hudson county may be abol-
1 ished. -
| Final arrangements were made for the
meeting at Bayonne tonight, after which
| a number of bills were read and ordered
paid. The committee then adjourned to
meet again on Tuesday night

that he believed the stand that the Ring
had taken in refusing to print the tickets
for the Jeffersonians would act as
boomerang on election day. "You, see,"
he said, "there are great many people in
this county who boast that they never

let me tell you that the vote of this party

would not allow me to run they showed
that they were afraid of the German vote;

McANN's D1seuT.
Down in close little engine room in a
Esaw mill on Stueben street saw Mr.. Nc
Cam, who has taken quite prominent
part in this movement. He has been an
earnest advocate and worker for "Dlck
Allen. as he familiarly calls him. 81
tnink,n said he," that If we have ballots
printed, enough merely to say that the
vote was deposited for Mr..
Alien, we could contest the seat
in Congress. But Mr.. Allen seems to

| advice has always been taken suppose
| it will have to go that way. The result

cementing of the Jeffersonians and the
Labor party for good. My reason for
saying this is that the jeffersonians are

| Regular Democrats are certainly not I
hope to see great party spring from this
| movement, If for nothing else but the
| disgust their action has aroused by refus-
| ing to allow us to vote for our choice
