Marvellous Growth in Circula-
ton, Influence and At
traCtiYeneSS.
Facts from the History
of a Successful
Year.

With the publication of this edition
THE JERSEY CITY NEWS enters upon its
second year of life 1t makes it's fresh
start with the yigor and energy Of sturdy
youth. With the strength gathered by
growth and development, with the sup
port and approval Of the community and
with the courage born of past successes
it looks forward to the future as an un-
tried field of activity and usefulness.
Looking back over the year that has
passed the editors and managers find
The course Of events has been one of un-
failing progress. Starting with an
average daily circulation of 5000, the
paper has steadily grown in public favor
until now from 6,5OO to $500 copies are
disposed of daily.
Beginning with hardly che yestige of
an advertising patronage The News has
added all the leading business houses of
Jersey City to the list of its patrons, one
by one. We cannot this moment think
of a single first-raJe establishment
in the city that has not from time to
time taken advantage of our columns
New York retailers also have come to us
in goodly numbers. Most of the
great advertising houses have ad-
vertised with us from time to
time, while several of the leading
ones have been among our steady adher-
ents. Several times in the busy fall sea-
son the pressure of advertising matter
has compelled us to publish asupplement,
and the pressure has been so great
on Sundays that ten and even
twelve page papers have repeatedly been
published. In short, in respect to bust
ness, we may fairly claim to have accom-
plished in year what has taken others a
quarter of a century.
The standing of The NEWS in the field
of politics is too well known to call for
much comment. Practically the only
Democratic daily in Hudson county,
it has added to its prestige
through it's enterprise and Independence.
1t has come to be recognized as power
for good in public affairs, and it numbers
among it's friends all the best and most
public spirited men in the community,
without distinction of party. Its only
real eneroies are those whose hostility is
an honor.
In connection with the progress Of the
newspaper, a prosperous general printing
business has grown up. This was wholly
outside the original plans Of the manage
ment. There was no idea of cultivating
it, and at first no effort was made. But
the good will of our friends fairly forced
It upon us, and in time it develope
In such fashion as to command attention
and encouragement. Our trade in this
matter is purely local. The work turned
out has the reputation of being the best
done in Jersey City, and its volume is
sufficient to make The JERSEY CRY NEWS
job department a highly remunerative
concern.

tickets in the Eleventh precinct
which he said were so marked
and punctured that, had they been jokers,
the majority of the committee would
have insisted that they had been put into
the box inside of others. Senator Gard
ner could not admit that and ordered the
stenographer to note that every ticket on
the string appeared to have entered the
box in the regular manner.
IRE gularities were found in the Twelfth
precinct, and the recount took two votes
from Mcdonald and one from Stuhr. leav-
the vote 124 for Mcdonald and 68 for
Stuhr.

faultless as to details and the recount
changed the tally sheet only in taking
one vote from Mcdonald, leaving Nc
