MALICIOUSLY FALSE.
A Republican Slander on Mr.
Feeney Circulated By 1.-THE
World"

William Williams, Chairman Of the
Republican City Central Committee of
Newark. was quoted in the New York
World today as saying last night
that
In one district in Hudson county the voting
was done honestly, yet when the votes were
counted the box contained 800 more votes than
there were voters In the district.
1T has been learned recently said Mr..
Williams, shat just before the polls closed a
man entered the booth. took the ballot box and
man who did that was John Parnell Feeney,
who has been appointed Chief Of the Stat
Police"
A prominent Democrat in this city,
after reading this false statement. said
today:-"This Is an outrage: Mr.. Feeney' g
by the Republican State Com
mittee, and was found to have
been correct in every particular.
1t was not attacked in the Mayoralty con-
test either, for not single wrong could
be discovered. Not single Indictment
was found against any of the election
officers or any one else connected with
the precinct. No one had even charged
that there had ever been any found
there.
Commissioner Feeney had nothing
whatever to do with the election in the
precinct, except as watcher and a
member of the general committee and a
voter. 1t looks strange that the first
time any charge against this precinct
should be made, that it should come from
Newark and be made by Williams. the head
for years maintained an open traffic in
votes. Mr.. Williams and the World have
both made serious error as they may
learn"

BLAINE AND THE PRESIDENCY.

From Hofpea's Weekly.
1t is observed, however, that the prac-
tical movement for Mr.. Blaine begins
with the most disreputable Of |all the Re-
publican bosses. He has not been es-
pecially ardent for Mr.. Blaine hitherto.
but ne sees plainly the drift of party pref
erence, and he turns 1t to his own pur-
pose. He counts upon the drift SO surely
that he does not hesitate to say In effect
to the President that Mr.. Blaine is his
candidate, and under these circumstances
the 'candidature Of the President
becomes little absurd. AS
we have heretofore intimhted, Mr..
Blaine is as much tha embodi-
! ment of Republicanism as 4lr. Clay OF
Whiggery. The other Republican lead
ers, who represented anotneE character
and other methods in politicsIand public
life, have disappeared. NeverBin the his
tory of the party was it so doIhinated by
one man as by Mr.. Blaine. This tact is
in itself the most striking illustration OF
the present Republican situation. The
movement of 1884 was a protest against
Mr.. Blaine ss a fitting representative of
the party. In 1891 there isl practically
no other representative. Should he be q
candidate next year, his personality will
not be, as in 1884, the crucial pPint Of the
campaign, as in 1858 the personal charges
against Mr.. Cleveland were not renewed.
The discussion would turn on politics
and the record of the administration.
There is obviously one strong personal in
ducement for Mr.. Blaine to accept the
nomination. The issue In 1884 was dis
tlnctly personal. and the decision was ad-
verse to him. If in 1892 the result should
be different, 1t might be claimed as a de-
liberate reversal Of the earlier Judgment.
For such a result, even with the alterna-
tive, any punlic man might beglad to try.

All the Officials Were s'Short" for Thirty
Years.
HARRISBURG, Sept. 30, 1S91.-Auditor
General McCamant today fatty denied
that he had ever received any checks
from ex-City Treasurer John Bardsley;
that he hadsever shared in any newspaper
rebates; that he ever knew Of any rebate
being paid; thas he ever had any con-
versation with any person before the ad-
vertlssments We're given out as to The
price to be paid.
He denied that he visited Bardslay' 5
Office July II, 1890. He said that he was
then sick. His letter to Bardsley, re-
ferring to the contest of the appoin t
ment of newspapers, merely showed that
he was anxious to control 1t for its
ter" postscript was written because he
did not want the letter to fall into the
hands of people he had criticised.
He said that he had no control what
ever over the insurance of school war
rants, and merely inquired about it
to oblige Bsrdsley. He said he sent
Bardsley $l50.000 on the personal prop
erty tax because the city was rep
resented as needing it, and furthermore
that the Comptroller's report shows this
money was not embezzled.
He wrote to Bardsley about the Key
stone Bank because he knew it was city
depository, and feared State funds were
there. He said that the $4,000 invest
ment in Lehigh Valley bonds were never
consummated.
The Auditor General stated that for
more than thirty years the Philadelphia
City Treasurers had been In arrears dur
ing their terms.
Corporation Clerk Glenn was called,
but added nothing to what has heretofore
been developed.

Further Evidence of the Way Business
is Done In That City.
The Hoboken Police Board met yester-
day afternoon and its leniency In dealing
with delinquent policemen was indeed
remarkable.
Policeman Owen Kilduff. who was
charged with clubbing Jonn Fineker
without provocation, was acquitted of
the charge. Policeman Sylvester Ryan
again faced the Board. AT the last
meeting Ryan was charged with
being asleep on post. Shortly after this
escapade Sergeant Marnell reported that
for one hour aud forty-five minutes there
could be no trace found of Ryan on his
post Ryan admitted being off post for
over an hour. He said he hurt his foot
on Ferry street. The Commissioners
sneered.
Policeman John j. Meyer was placed
on trial charged with assaulting Police
man John Ryan. Policemen Eckhardt
and kaufman related the story of the
ASSAULT as it has already been pub
lished in The JERSEY CITY
NEWS. Policeman Meyer did not deny
the assault.
The Board went into executive session.
Policeman Ryan was fined fifteen days
pay. Policeman Meyer was also fined
fifteen days. pay. Mayor Stanton se-
verely lectured both policemen.

Today he told the Court that Frank
Morris was man who worked with him.
They went from house to house selling
watches and jewelry. He insisted
that his name was Timoth y

ROMANCE Or A TRAMP.
The Strange Life Led in California by q.
Wealthy German Nobleman.

The Strange Life Led In California BY q
Wealthy German Nobleman.
A genuine romance has just culmin-
ated at Santa Cruz, CAL, says the St.
Louis Democrat. For three or four
months two Germans have been living
here very much like tramps with only
a miserable little shanty in Blackburn
Gulch, One had inquired often at
the postoffice for o letter for Wolfgang
Ballestrom, At lasa the letter that he
dressed to Count Wolfgaug BalIestrom,
and the delivery clerk was doubtful II it
could be meant for the shabby individual
who applied. Wolfgang said, In q Qpis5
and gentlemanly tone, with slight Ger
man acceEt:-
"It is for me-"
He took the letter and opened it In the
presence of the postmaster and friend
named Adiger. II proved 90 be from the
German consul at San Francisco. an
nouncing the death Of Wolfgaug's father,
near Berlin, Germany, and the inherit-
apce Of the estate and title by Wolfgang.
who is the eldest son. He took the news
very quietly, and when the clerk said. u
suppose you are very happy now?" he
merely replied, with a shrug OF his shoul-
ders, "Oh, it is very pleasant to have the
money, but am always happy"
On Saturday a good sized draft tor
current expenses was received by the
man who has more than once asked for
food at the doors of Santa Cruz houses.
and who has been supported by the Ger
mans here. The present Count Wolf
gang Ballestrom is young man of
thirty-three, of good height, weighs $50
pounds, and when subjected 20 modern
improvements will be handsome
and aristocratic looking fellow.
He speaks German and English fiuently.
His attorney has had correspondence
with Major-General Ballestrom. adminis-
traitor of the estate, and has received q
certified copy of the fathers will, which
beuueaths $500.000 of property to Wolf
gang. 1t is somewhat hampered by re-
strictions, as the young man has been
