The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1890-10-31

McPhillips. alias Bob Davis, pass. First
came two files of excellently drilled po-
licemen under Sergeant Cox, 9 RANK re
publican, who plainly Indicated his dis
gust ut the position duty had placed him
In. But like a good officer he did his
dirty. Then came the horseback devo-
tees Of the Ring. There was the Second
Handed Grand Marshal, Martin Collins;
John Boyd. a Ring o~f1ce-holder since
Nally, an energetic little clerk in the tax
| office: Jim Tumulty, q brother of Phil
| Tumhlty. the Street Superintendent,
John T. Feeney, President Of
the Board of Police Commission
ers, and several others Of less
consequence and note. Then came the
'boys,s' with a scarce sprInkfing of en-
thusiastic Democrats who cannot forget
| that they have always been Democrats
| and who had determined to swallow one
more dose of Bob Davis in HOPES OF some
thing better in the future. It was a bit-
| ter dose, however, for some of them.
Among these boys were noticed
Martin Kelly, who mixed cocktails for o
| living. He was in a coach, n with him
! was Billy Herbert. who bossed a green
| CLOTH for years, Patrick McKenna n
Tommy Nugent, ex-Freeholder, ex-Pohce
Commissioner. ex-gin-niH keeper. and
"Horseshoe." The ladylike complex
ion of the Street and Water Com
| missioner E. A. Dugan beamed from am
other coach, and his father, the grey
| haired County Collector, sat opposite
him. George A Heaney, who has been
| accustomed to Palma Club gatherings,
| looked as he felt-entirely out of place.
but Jailer Charles Blrdsall looked con-
tented and smiled grimly as he glanced
at the ballot box suffers i'll the line. He
was no dOubt counting the profits he will
some time receive at thirty cents per

the responsibility for their care.
POOR ~BRUGGEMANN.
Director-at- Large Bruggemann, who
had brought some followers from Hobo
ken to swellt the number. was to be pitisd.
He in some fashion got sandwiched be-
tween Mike O'Mara and Joe Quirk. They
tried to make it pleasant for the director,
but it was vain, and at the first opportun-
ity ne worked himself into another file
and then bowed to Assembly,
man Michael Mullone as ii he
felt better. Mr.. Mull0ne was in the par
ade, but then he is q candidate for re-
election and can be almost excused. The
tight-mouthed clerk of the Street and
Water Board, George Bouton, was also
in line and he filed the exalted position
of a commandment and so

Davis for the office he fills. by joining the
parade, and Building Inspector James

THE MARCH.
The line passed up WAYNE street and on
a corner Bob Davis, who was all alone in
a carriage drawn BY four horses, saw
Orestes Cleveland standing. The poor
old man was alone. The crowd on the
sidewalks passed him by uunoticed.

Of even a recognition from Davis so ut
