FOR AN HONEST PAPER.
Republicans Mean to Have
One They Can
Trust.
COUNTY COMMITTEE AT WORK.
Weary of Being Stabbed in the Back
by Traitors-WilI Raise
100000 for the New
Enterprise.

The tricks that are vain and the ways
that are dark" pursued by the EUening
Journal in regard to the Republican
party received a stinging rebuke last
night at the hands of the Republican
County Committee. For long time
no Republican has considered the
Journal, representative organ of that
party. On the contrary the Republican
leaders have bitterly complained that
the firm of Pangborn. Benson
and Dear, has at any and
every opportunity sought to create
disturbance in the party, and has knitted
candidate after candidate in the back
when fealty to the Republican party de-
manded that the candidate should be
supported by the vacillating paper.
The County Committee decided last
night to have q paper that would be hon
est with the party and follow its princi-
pies. A resolution was offered, and
be appointed to take measures to start
Republican paper to be run in an honest
manner. The enthusiasm this resolution
caused Is best understood by the fact that
one man shouted out:
''Put me down for IS. 600 of that stock. y
Want Sl,uVV Ol IL Iol SUCH Soou
cause" said another. And so it was
nearly every man at the large meeting
declared he would subscribe and was anx-
ious to. They were assured that the
money was net needed last night, but
that the committee to be appointed
would gratefully remember the eager
ness to aid in such worthy undertake
ing.
THE COMMITTEE.
The Chairman appointed Michael
Schultz, E. W. Woolley, R. B. Seymour.
H. r. Carr, f. S. Brown, Col. K. +. Hart
aud w. +. Trask on the committee.
These gentlemen will meet at
Wednesday night and adopt plan for
ital of $100, 900. divided into small shares,
to enable any one to subscribe who de-
sires to.
A member of this committee said today
that there would be no trouble in raising
the money, for Republicans in this county
Journal He said that the new paper
would be an established fact in about
three months. 1t is too late to produce
the paper for the campaign this fall. but
the new paper will take an active part in
the political struggle next spring and
fall.
After deciding on starting Republican
paper in this city, the County Committee
appointed ex-Judge r. B. Seymour. POST
master Dickinson and F. s. Brown a
committee to draft resolutions of con-
dolence concerning the recent deaths of
ex Justice Samuel w. Stllsing and Do
mtnicus Wegman.
The enrolment books were ready for
the committee last night. and each pre-
cinct association was supplied with one.

sires to vote ut the approaching primar-

Bank for $4,000. 1t was known that the
trustees intended to invest the money in
five per cent. twenty year bonds of the
Hoboken Land and Improvement Com
pany. The fact reached the ears
of the, city. officials, and they did
not like it. They reasoned that
as the trustees formed part of
the city government they should invest
the money in city bonds The city has
$4,000 worth of school bonds on the
market. Corporation Attorney Minturn
was consulted. He found law which
made it compulsory for tine trustees to
invest their surplus cash either in city.
county or State bonds or in first class
mortgages.
Accordingly, when Mr.. Goodspeed. of
the First National Bank, presented the
draft to City Comptroller Kaufman, that
official refused to certify it. So did City
Treasurer Smith.
Now the trustees have consulted Law
yer Besson and the courts will be app lied
to for a mandamus to compel the ci ty to
honor their draft.

ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 10, 1891.-The
drowning mystery of Charles Schoneman

is no nearer solution now than it was
the day of his disappearance. Beyond
the fact that his body has been found
floating in the surf at South Atlantic
City, his friends and relatives in Philadel-
yhia know nothing. unless, possibly, they
may surmise something which they do
not care to give cut to the public.
The deceased was last seen alive on
Monday last, and according to his friends,
seemed to be In good spirits at that time.
and to all intent was rational in mind, at
least 60 oil outward apre rance.
Coroner Wescott held an inquest last
night, at which considerable testimony
was given, but nothing was adduced
which would tend to enlighten the officials
as to how he was drowned. The suicide
theory was not for one moment enter
tanned bv his friends, and the jury. after
short deiberatien. returned verdict of
accidental drowning.
