JOHN ZELLER-
A Worthy Successor to Assembly
man Usher.

In the Eleventh district Thomas
Thomas B. Usher will have worthy sue
cessor in the person OF John Z-ller. Mr..
Zeller Is one of the most active Democrats
ia North Hudson, and besides being pop
ular with the great masses of voters. his
auties have brought him into contact
with the leaders, and they have relied
upon him for the big majorities the north
ern towns roll up.
MIR. ZplIer was born in New York
thirty-six years ago. When he was five
years old his parents moved to Union
Hill. In that town Mr. Zelier attended
the public schools, In 1875, when he was
twenty years old, Mr.. Zeller moved to
Gutenberg. Upon reaching his majority
he took lively interest in politics. He
also Joined the volunteer fire depart.
ment.
He was elected Assessor of Gutenberg
for two terms and is at present member
many years Mr.. Zeller has been a con-
stable at tho Court House. He has per-
formed his duties faithfully and con-
scientiously, and is respected by all of the
Court House officials. Assemblyman
Usher was spoken Of as candidate for
reelection, but when he learned that Mr..
Zeiier was candidate he declined the
nomination and became one of Mr.. Eel
ler's most enthusiastic supporters. Mr..
Zeller Is fortunate In having the Usher
boys with him in this campaign.
The Republicans, In their desperate
straits to elect their candidate, have re-
sorted to base falsehood contained in a
circular printed in German and English,
which they have distributed throughout
the district The circular states that Mr..
Zpller is member of the Court House
Ring" and that he favors scheme an
nexing the North Hudson townships to
Jersey City. On everv public occasion
Mr.. Zeller has strenuously denied that
he was in favor OF any such legislation.
He says it is malicious lie and he has
endeavored to learn who caused the cir
cular to be issued. 1t is, perhaps. need
less to add that the living circular has
proved boomerang for Mr.. Zeller.

REPUBLICANS DESPERATE
"Tough' Murphy Called to the
Rescue-0ther Frauds
to Help.

That the Republican party in the
Fourth district is in badly demoralized
condition is shown by the desperate
straits 10 which the leaders found them
selves in selecting challengers. In many
instances challengers had to be secured
from other districts than the ones In
which they live. Then, again.
some of the challen ,ers selected
boar regulations anything else but
savory. Take for instance Patrick Mur-
phy of No. 204 Van Worst street. Isn't
he the notorious though" Murphy, who
was sent TO State's Prison as being inn
plicated in murder that took place
over the Henderson street bridge some
years ago? And isn't it the same
'1ough" Murphy that has been convicted
a number of times of atrocious assault
the man whom Mr.. Gilbert Collins re-
commended as Republican challenger
to stand at the polls 10 the Sixth precinct
and challenge every mans vote at will.
A glance at the registry of the Seventh
precinct failed to reveal the name of E.
G. Shaffer, whose address had been given
as No. 147 Railroad avenue. Frank
Luther, of No. 495 Pavonia avenue, is
certainly not resident of the Eighth
precinct of the First district, nor
does the name of John Mackey,
of No. 256 w rren street, appear
in the registry, of the Third precinct
William A. Speer, another Republican
challenger for the Third precinct. is reg
5istered from No. Cooper Place, Justice
of the Peace Martiuez's Office. No such
person as Charles Bergman, of
No. 1888 Washington street, appears
in the Second precinct registry,
nor does the name of E. c. Benjamin of
No 55 Mercer street appear in the Tenth
precinct registry.
1t is clear the leaders have but little
confidence In their voters when so many
precincts are to be represented by nom
resident challengers.

love letter from Mr.. Bowes. Formerly
there were three columns in these bills.
In the first column you saw you were
charged city tax. You did not complain
In the second column there was county
tax TO pay the EXPENSES of maintaining
the county government. That was all
right. But in the third column You were
charged with State tax. In few days
you will receive your tax bills. That
third column win be missing, as it has for
the past seven years, thanks to Governor
Albeit But that tax is still Issued. The
500. 1000 collected then Is collected now
and is spent, but il is collected from the
railroads.
Mr.. Edwards then plunged into figures
aud brought out fact after fact which
showed the Republicans in their true
light. He pointed TO the fact that when
Governor Albeit went to Trenton q debt
of S420000 confronted him. He has
cleared that debt and there is balance
in the State Treasury.
Mr.. Edwards called attention to the bill
lion dollar Congress, and said that when
Grover Cleveland left the White House
In 1888 there WAS surplus OF $40, 600
in the United States Treasury. but that
when he knocked at the White House
door on March 4, 1892, and would ask
Secretary Foster where the balance was
he would learn that it had gone like the
vanishing lady.
Mr.. Edwards clearly pointed out tn-
stance after instance of Republican ex-
travagance. and his able remarks were
repeatedly chAered He closed bis speech
with eulogistic remarks for all the can

blyman Thomas E. Noonan made

next Assemblymen from the districts

Fourth ward, il not the city. In several
Presidential campaigns Mr.. Coyle
equipped clubs with uniforms, aud one of
the old clubs, the Michael J. Coyle Lee
glon, was the pride OF the Fourth ward.

his credit. is that he never opposed the

The candidate in the Tenth district,

term as councilman had expired his
friends insisted on sending him to the
Assembly. Mr.. Tahen is also Irishborn,

"Connie" began TO take an active interest
in politics. He was brainy, energetic and
conscientious and soon gained the conf
