The Recorders Here Show Decided Signs
of Acute Tnebriety,
Special to the JERSEY CITY Nems.
TRENTON, Feb, IS, 1s90.-In sharp con-
trast to this was the Seventh precinct box
which was next examined and which dis
closed 6eplorable state of affairs. This
is the bath House. district and the
home precinct Of Ass emblyman Byrnes.
The dia registered 71s, and when the box
was opened the first Ting produced was
greasy napkin.
The affidavits of the officers. G. Dolan.
clerk; Patrick McGrath, judge, and John
Stumpf and John d. Eagan, inspectors,
were irregular.
The poll book was curious affair and
contained no certificate. After the 539th
name the numbeIs began at forty-one
and continued in regular order up to
sixty-one. After that it became extremely
eatic; and, in the language of Senator
Gardner, showed decided symptoms of
acnte inebriety.
MANY NAMES SKIPPED.
A skip was made from 594 to 641
The next page began at No. 1893; the
next at T5l; the next I'll, and the next at
500. Ali were filled with names The
total nunlberof names in the book by
actual count was 1S5.
The tally sheet was another curiosity.
1t was besmeared with grease, the names
were spelled in a most ignorant manner
the Governor was called Lon Abbett''--
and the tallying was siovenly executed.
It counted up 632 for Mcdonald and 14c
for Stuhr. The box contained a string OF
thirteen ballots marked rejected, al
though no reason for their rejection was
given. One was Republican ballot, four
were jokers. and the remaining eight
Democratic. The tickets were mostly all
greasy and badly soiled
A JOKER AFTER A sTJJHR TICKET.
A peculiarity about the string was that
a joker almost invariably followed q
Stuhr ticket. The recount gave McDon-
6a7, of which los were jokers. Stuhr's
vote was increased by eight and stood at
$50.

Now for Another Harvest.

The evangelists, Messrs. Mills and
Chapman, with their assistants, Messrs.
Greenwood and Smith, began their work
in our city without laying the churches
under any pecuniary obligations to them
for their services. 1t is clearly right that
if they have ministered to the spiritual
needs OF our churches that they should
likewise reap OF us for their temporal
needs. The opportunity for all will
therefore be given by presenting to every
one desiring to contribute, an envelope
addressed to 1.-THE Rev. B. Fay Mills and
assistants" in which they may put what
ever sum they see fit and securely seal it
and hand the same TO Mr.. Mills or his
associates. or to the pastor of any OF the
churches united in the evangelistic ser
vices, which will close next Monday eve

Henry w, Cory, candidate for judge
OF the municipal court, was born. in
Gooperstown, N. z, and was admitted
to practice early in III. In that year
he came to St. Paul, and was elected
Judge in 1885, defeating Walter I. Barr,
his present associate. He is 43 Years OF
age, gentleman who has the confidence
and respect of all classes OF citizens. and
is an honor to his profession. Every
effort ought to be made to give him a
large majority. Some enemy Of his has
stopped to injure his canvass by an en-
deavor to raise the cry of anti Catholic
against him, but the charge was crushed
in it's infancy. That it should have
been even whispered was an injustice
to Judge Cory, whose chief clerk Is a
Catholic, and who has sister who Is
also a Catholic.
Some time since the dailv papers Of
St. Paul contained interviews with a
large number of business men OF that
city upon the question of Municipal
Judge-ln fact it was at q time before
the nominating conventions had been
held, and all these gentlemen, both Re-
