lively times This campaign IS a quie t
one but bear in mind we are
now throwing out our skirm1sn
lines and getting ready for the
cussed and Democratic principles and
platforms explained. OF course in Hud-
son county we will roll up our regular
Democratic majority That is foregone
conclusion, and no matter how Repuo-
licans talk or what they claim of our
doing, we all know that Hudson Is the
Gibraltar of Democracy in the State or
New Jersey, and the result of our elec.
tions is eagerly watched by all, from the
rocky hills OF Essex to the sands OF Cape
May, and all faces are turned toward us
to see what we are going TO do. AS goes
this county so goes the State, therefore 1t
behooves every man to go shoulder to
shoulder to the ballot box, early. II not
often, and deposit ballot for the entire
ticket.
1.-TWO years ago we sent a man to the
Senate of whom everybody felt proud.
+ / refer to the Honorable E. f. Mcdonald.
(Cheers.) He was elected by the people
of this county and given majority OF
seven or eight thousand, but Repub-
Iican mi jority in the Senate, blind TO all
save partisanship. by vote of ten to
eleven, said then that Hudson was not
entitled to a representative in the Senate.
Senator Mcdonald was unseated and
political hermaprodite was made Senator
for twenty minutes. That man was W.
S. Stuhr. That, gentlemen, shows
you what that party will do.
''Their war cry is Down with the peo-
pie; down with the masses. Up with
monopolles and up with the classes
[Cheers.] We vindicated Mr.. Mcdonald.
and rewarded him by putting him up one
step higher, and how he is our Congress
man. Your present candidate for Sena-
tor has done Hudson honor in the Lower
House where he was made Speaker. He
always did his duty by the people faith
fully. and it is with pleasure | speak OF
our next Senator. Robert Hudspeth,
[Cheers.] In all this campaign not. a
word has been uttered against him by
man or newspaper. He Is above reproach.
He has been friend to the laboring man,
unfolding just measures. and striking
down those alleged to be in the interest
of the masses, but in reality against
them. His election is necessary now,
and next year he will reward you by be-
ing In line to vote for the sterling Demo-
crar, Leon Albeit for United States
Senator.

tive can be found than James II. O'Neil.
His opponent, Richard Williams, is not in
