me Democratic case stated.

The Democratic Case Stated.
We give up the greater portion OF
our leading news page today to the
presentation of the case on which the
Democratic party asks a popular YER
dict the day after tomorrow. We lay
before the people the record of the
party and the. careers Of its represent
atives. We court inquiry into them
and we challenge adverse criticism.
The record OF the Democratic party
in Jersey City may be summed up in
few words. It has reduced the load of
debt that Republicans piled upon the
shoulders OF the citizens, 1t has made
provision for the future extinction of
the burden. 1t has lightened the an
nual interest charges, and at time
when the city's credit was all but i'm
paired and when its future financial
status was in danger it restored conf
dence, it Strengthened out compliea-
tions and it reasserted the reputation
OF the metropolis of the State for
wealth and solidity and complete
financial responsibility.
Ii this were all, it would constitute
a sufficient title to the popular conf
dence and support. But. be-
sides all this, the Democratic
party in Jersey City has in
the the past year inaugurated a sys-
tenn OF gradual improvement in the
public works of the city. New schools
are in progress of erection, new police
buildings are in various stages ofgad-
vancement. The paving and the
cleaning OF the streets are both better
than they were, and new lines of i'm
provement are constantly being taken
up. All the facts are reviewed in our
news columns; they are conseryatively
and carefully stated; the claims are
if anything within the truth and yet.
the showing is one TO which Demo-
Gratis may fairly point with pride.
This is one OF the cases where the
facts do the talking. Nothing we can
say can add to the effect Of the record
we present. We simply point to it,
and rely on the justice. the sense Of
fair play of the people, for the re-
Spouse at the polls on Tuesday.

Good Men and True.

1t is almost superflnous to introduce
to the voters of jersey City the candi-
dates for whom the Democracy asks
their SURFACES on election day But
we furnish brief sketches Of their sew
eral careers today for the sake Of their
intrinsic public interest.
The life of Charles w. ALLEN, first
as a successful business man aud later
as an able and faithful public servant.
cannot fail to commend him to all
who admire that steadfast per-
severance which is the surest means
to success. Mr.. Allen is not a poll
tician. Though he has honorably
done his duty in more than one pub
lie post, his public service was, until
two years ago, only an incident of his
career. He was essentially business
man, and only the call Of duty
brought him from his ordinary
pursuits to share the turmoil
and thanklessness of public Of
flee. For the last two years,
however. this state of things has
been changed. Mr.. Allen has been a
conspicuous figure in the municipal
government, and his prominence has
not been greater than the value of his
work. He has earnestly devoted him
self to the welfare of Jersey City, and
the admirable plan of the recent two
million dollar refunding operation,
and the success with which it was car
ried out. show how well fitted he is to
be one Of the managers of the city's
finances.
It is only necessary to scrutinize Mr..
Aliens work as President of the Board
OF Aldermen and Chairman of the
Finance Committee OF the Board of
Finance to feel assured that he is the
right man for the place, and that it is
the duty Of every good citizen to vote
fer him.
or the Democratic candidates for
tile AIdermanic representation of the
several districts, il may fairly be said
that they are the most creditable set
Of candidates presented by any party
- tho voters Of this city in years.

FEDERAL CLUB.

The rapid growth of the Federal Club is
surprising The Lincoln Club. which has
for years been the District Republican
Club. has suffered so much by the pros
Derity of the Federals that it is said the
Lincoln Club will disband and its mem
bers join the Federals. This addition
would make the Willow Court Club
House fairly hum with success. The
scheme is a good one in the opinion of
many club men.
President Charlie Laws has been
missed from the club every night this
week. His health has not been good,
and he has remained at home evenings.
Abe Collard has returned from the
South and West after his long absence
He did not forget the use OF a barber, and
failed TO even learn how TO SCOOP a
Jack" pot with a revolver in his baud.
1t is not believed that Mr.. .Barry's Re-
publican friends will propose him for
membership in the Federal Club this
year.
One of the most delightful results of
the club is that it makes sedate H. w
Carr and Dick Williams young fellows
when they get them.
A lecture will soon be given on som c
political topic by some celebrated speaker.

W. J. Seaman has won fame and for
time by long and conscientious endeavor
in field that was new to the stage when
he became star. The Irish impersona tor
OF dozen years ago was buffoon who
spoke with grossly exaggerated brogue,
and delivered jokes that savored more Of
American slums than of peasant life in

to present a faithful picture of Irish life

PALMA CLUB.

The annual election of officers for the
Palma Club on Friday night, which re-
suited in the election of Nelson Wander
hoef, President; James r. Throckmorton,
Vice President, George Earle, secretary;
George A. Heaney, Historian; Samuel
Hathaway, Jr., Willard Carter, Joseph
d. Belle, Jr., and Otto Grouse. Trustees,
passed off TO. rhesentire satisfaction of every
one. The contest between Otto Grouse
and Meyer for member of the Board of
Trustees was most exciting, and so even
that it was impossible 10 tell who the
successful man was until the last vote
was counted. Both are first class boys :,
and had hosts of friends, but Otto was
the candidate of the riding club and rode
into the Office, so to speak, as easily he
as cavorts around Hexamer's ring.
George Earle, of course, was elected
Secretary. George is about the only Sec
rotary the club has had, and if by any
means some one else should come to
fill the position the old members would
receive a shock from which it would
take them some time TO recover.
Among the names posted for men,
bership is that Of Alderman Edward
Hoos.

tical lesson in successful bowling tomor-

The question Of enlarging the gymnasium
room is now aaitating the members
anew. The matter came up at the annual
meeting Friday. and was referred to the
House committee. 1t is proposed to raise
the roof and the billiard room, which ends
In gallery overlooking the gymnasium,
over the gymnasium, thus forming 4
large assembly room The billiard room
would then be transferred to the present
gymnasium. The plan meets with the
hearty approval of most of the BOYS, ana
will in all probabilities be carried out
The riding club is progressing finely
and Walter Kidder and john Keller can
ride now without being strapped on or
failing off. The club will take only two
more weekly ring rides and then il will

THE J. c. A. C.

The gymnasium committee OF the Jer-
sey City Athletic Club have completed
arrangements for an exhibition by the
gymnasium class on Thursday evening.
Those who remember the excellent exhi-
bition of this nature which the committee
gave last year VIII be DESTROYS of attend
ing this one, as the committee are deter
mined to surpass last years effort. The
programme will consist of exhibitions on
the horizontal and parallel bars and flying
rings, fencing with broad sword and
assault with sticks, building of pyramids
by eighteen men, club swinging, games
and other attractions. There win be
many other features about the entertain
ment which are entirely new and which
must be seen to be appreciated. At the
close of the entertainment there will be
dancing to the music OF Heerwagen's
orchestra.
Mr. Dixie, not the irrepressible Adonis,
however, VINO Is to manage the minstrel
choir which the club will give In short
time, will assign the parts of this work.
The chorus of the club is great, and
whatever the worst kickers say against
the entertainment he will be fit for trees
and STRAIT egems,' if he finds fault with
the singing.
Will Doubleday is at the head of the
Gymnasium Committee, and it Is his in
dustry which has done so much to make
possible the excellent show which the
committee proposes to give on Thursday.
1t is stated that the editor of The Out
look is writing play called Running for
Alderman, or the Story of Lost Reputa-
ton"
There was great rejoicing last night
when Van Saun laid Staples of the

It's Hard Lines on a Newspaper
When the Gas Gives Out.
THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS is
prepared for publication this morn
ing under the most serious disadvan-
tages.
The fire at the gas works, minilniz-
ing the light supply, makes the work
of our printers exceedingly slow and
difficult. and reduces the capacity Of
the force for setting type during the
evening hours nearly fifty per cent.
On this account we are regretfully
obliged to keep within the narrowest
limits possible the several standing
features of the paper. and to make
unusual allowances as respects quail
ity of workmanship.
As almost all our readers-at least
the Jersey City ones-are fellow
sufferers with us, they will compre-
bend the difficulties of the situation
without further words from us. They
will find all the local news of the day
treated with the accustomed thorough
ness of THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS;
and in addition a large variety of in
teresting gossip and OF readable
special articles. We trust the paper
will prove acceptable as usual to our
friends, the reading public of Hudson
County, and that only our own plea
sure will be marred by the thought
Of the many more brilliant and spark
ling things that would have been in its
columns if the supply Of gas had been
more liberal.

THE CARTERETS.

s. The suggestion of the club man of The
JERSEY CRY NEWS that the Carteret cluU
should arrange card and billiard tourna-
ments with the other clubs is bearing
fruit.
The subject is being agitated by the
members, and such tournaments are
among the possibilities of the future. In
that case the Carterets can be relied upon
to uphold the honor of their club. Some
of the best amateur billiardists of the city
in which they did up some of the card
sharps OF the Athletic Club recently is
still fresh in the public line.
The Carterets expect great time next
Saturday when Van Saun and Staples
cross cues over a Carteret table. The fact
that these champions have met twice to
the discontinue Of Mr.. Staples has not
ietraeted from the interest taken in the
match, and it is expected that q large
number of club men will be present.
