ALLAN MDERMOTT SCARED.
THE NEwJERSEY DEMOCRAT GETS En-
CITED.

HIS 1Dr, OF AN:wERING REPUBLICAN AFGU-
MINIS rS TO rsE INTENPEEATE L>NGrAGE.
Allan McDornotf ~ chairman Of the Demo-
cratic State Committee OF New-Jerscy has issue"
an address "1o the voters OF Ncw-|crsey, AZ
tonp-inr = relate tho declarations Of IN" RH-
pnhlicans upon thc evils OF tho present Aopcu-
NcDcrmott administration. The greater porWoH
Of il il devoted 20 an effort t. prove that IN"
soc He'd Coal Combine bill dill not become Il
law hecausc Icon Albeit vetoed it after the
legislature had passed it This has not hceh us
nut,d by ANYBODY: tho fact is well known that
after Albeit and McDernott did everything IN
their power to pass the bill, the Governor became
alarmed at the public Indignation which ms
action had aroused. and, fearing the effect upon
his political fortunes. refused 10 sign the bill.
The Republican state Committee and the R"publl-
can sneakers have not attempted to controvert
thcse facts. and il seems hardly worth while Tor
Mr. NcDcr,pott 10 issue a laboref and wordy
" address" 10 prove 10 tho voters Of New-jerSy
focts which are really matters OF history and
which nobody has coniradcted or attempted =
disprovc.
The Republican State Committee has charged
that thc Democratic legislature, melted, director
and controlled hy Mr. McDcrmott, Governor Ao-
bc,- and other Democratic leaders. made supreme

mittec. and a Democratic Legislator" united IN
the effort to lc91zc this monstrous outrage
TIL, Rcpuhlican State Committe" asked ycsfrr-
,lov how Mr. McD'rmott WAS going TO anqwcr what
the Ncw-Jorscy Editor Of The Newly rk world
said ten days ago: a Democratic LEGISLATURE
made the mistake Of passing the Reading DILL ahn
the party cannot BOW dodge the responsibility OF
it,"
No uttcranccs of Mr. MeDcrmott or the whole
Democratic State COMMITTEE can do away with
tie fact that the Democratic party was in sym
patty with this measure, and that they reIoicei
ever its passace until they learned from the pco
nlc that the were loaded with the elements Of
destruction.
The norton of Mr. McDermotts address not dc
voted 10 the Coal hill is made up Of arguments
against the Republican State Committees eNposi-
ton az the owls OF the ADbett-McDcrmott Admin
istratinn. These arguments are the duplicatlon
and retention of a lie, he - stating dellhrr
ate falSehcOI, the statement OF the kcpubIicdh
Committee is a faschood" pursuing a campaign
OF ialS"iood," etc. etc In certain classes OF the
community, and on sme occasions these are power
ful arguments, but the; do not appeal To the
honest and intelligent voters Of Ncw-JcTscv IN the
present struggle for Clean and honest government
The fact i that the cClaratiOnS of the R"pubH-
can State Committee are hard, cold truths. IN
happily for Ncw-JerSey. but even II they Wer" all
untrue what hle happened 10 Mr. McDrTmott mat
he should suddenly break Olt into Remuneration
of liars There Is more or less fun in every cam
pai.n but there has been nothing funnicr IN this
canisaign than the spectacle Of Allan McD"rInott
poing as an opponent Of lying. 1T this rate New
Jersey may expect 10 hear Of Billy Thompson
dcncuncng raCetrack gambling.
