The Sunday morning news. [volume] (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1886-1891, 1890-09-14


This paper IS democratic IN principles
and Is Independent IN IT'S utcauS on at
local questions.
It Is said that the Grand Jury is Investigating
charge Of criminal libel made against a local
paper and its managers by one of the jurors
Euenfag Journal
Yes, Major, we heard that You and
the ex-Reverend were up to see what
you could do with the grand quest,
Friday We await developments with
amused curiosity
There seems to be . combined newspaper
effort to bear the financial credit Of Hudson
county and Jersey City. By pulling down the
credit Of the local government the selling price
Of the bonds Is reduced. This is to the adyan-
tage Of the money lenders who can step in and
buy up the bonds at prices to suit them. Are the
money lenders back of the newspaper attacks
upon the credit Of Hudson and Jersey CityS-
Nesrark Journal.
No, ancient scribe, they have moth
ing to do with it. But we admire the
grip the Hudson County Ring has on
your columns. We have heard that
yon were owned body and soul-what
there is Of each--by Mr.. .'Ji1nn Smith,
Doubtless he has a fellow feeling for
the Hudson gang and makes you pipe
accordingly.
Republican Confidence-Is 1t Mis-
placed?
The State Gazette this morning
opened long address ITO New Jersey
Republicans" with the following tin
horn screech.--
With courage and dash, tempered by wisdom
and caution the Republican party of New Jersey
may WING great victory this fall.
Yes, II it gets the votes.
The State Gazette bases its hopes on
the operation of the ballot reform
law Since it has become matter of
coun3mon rumor that Assemblyman
sEgNin has discovered way by which
the new law may be evaded, perhaps
the Gazette's view Of the ease may be
justified. If he keeps the secret for
strict party use, perhaps the Repub-
licans may carry the Assembly; but,
to say the least, it would be unsafe to
risk much money on Republican
victory,
n The Gdzstte yawps a good deal
about Hudson county. Now the
truth about Hudson is this: it will re-
turn a Democratic Congressman, no
matter who is nominated 1t will
elect an anti-ring Sheriff. 1t will GER
tainly elect two Democratic and one
Republican Assemblyman. Ii Bob
Davis and his ring dictate the Demo-
cratic nominations, the other seven
seats will be doubtful and several of
the ring candidates will be badly
beaten. With good and independent
candidates the Democracy would
carry at least eight of the ten dis
tricts.
We hear Mr.. John f. Kelly, who
was Observation-Disclosures style-last
year, is TO be shelved this time. That
is fortunate. He could not be counted
in this year. Let us hope no other
ringsrer will be put up in his place.
Mr.. Cork Murphy is in the field
again. 1t is to be hoped he will be
dropped, or if not that he will be
beaten out Of sight. If everyone who
cares to see clean streets votes, Mr..
Henry Byrne will never know what
struck him when the secret ballots are
counted. Mr. Andy Boyle may be re-
elected--and yet he very possibly may
not.
Fact is there's blood on the face OF
the moon for the Ring and the Ring
sters- The only two dead sure men
in the county would seem to be Mr..
Michael Mulione and Mr.. Herbert
Potts Mr. Usher and Mr.. Cream arc
also in very good shape. We have nc
objection to Mr.. Pagan, and we rather
hope his election is sure.
But as for the Boyle Murphy K Ell Iy.
Byrne combination, we hope the Ring
Will have the deeeney to hold pri-
vate funeral in their honor. If not
well, Of course. this is Democratic
paper and we can't say much.
