but at the last moment the lead
ers of the Republican party, in op-
position to their wishes, decided to have
him nominated, which has resulted in
considerable opposition among the work
ers. Mr.. Engard said yesterday that for
the sake of harmony he had allowed his
name to be used. He had made no so
licitation, but on the other hand the
leaders OF the party had made personal
demand of him to accept.

THE FIREWORKS SEEN FROM AFFAIR.

An excellent view of the Brooklyn
Bridge fireworks exhibition was had by
the people who crowded the New York
Bay shore at Greenville. The
Greenviile Station on the Central Rail-
road was also crowded, and the night
agents attempts to drive the people from
the platform were Of no avail. The crowd
was SO big that the agent after while
gave up IN despair and retired into his
Office. The Greenville Yacht Clubhouse,
at the foot of Linden avenue, proved
an attractive spot last night. An excel
lent view of the bridge can be had from
the large plaza at the rear of the club
house, and the members together
with many ladies took advantage
of the opportunity to see
the exhibition. After the last
piece of fireworks had been fired, a re-
ceptien was held and daucing was in
dulged in.
The hill at Van Nostrand place and
Garfield avenue was black with people.
No better view can be obtained,
in Jersey City. of the bridge than from
this hill. and 1t was difficult to find stand
ing room.

FOR SOMEONE
Judge Green on the Con-
spiracy to Rescue
the Ballot Box
Suffers.
Special to the Jerseu Cttu Neapa,

TRENTON, Oct. II, 1892.-Judge Edward
I. Green created sensation in the United
States District Court tnis morning by de-
livering brief but pointed opinion on
the recent conspiracy to deceive the Court
by perjury. The case he had in mind was
that of the habeas corpus proceedings
made last June in behalf of the jersey
City ballot box suffers.
AT the time he was hearing the argu-
ment he stated that he would bring the
fact of perjury and conspiracy before the
next GrandJury He called attention today
to the offense of conspiring to defeat the
ends of justice. and said that the evil
tended to the overthrow1ng of good gov
ernment. He painted perjury as black
him. No offense could be greater or
more repugnant than perjury in court
to prevent justice being carried out. To
deceive Court and Judge by false repre-
seDtation was a crime, and il 1t was
shown to the Gran Jury that this had
been done. the jury should fine an indict-
ment against such offenders.
The Grand Jury selected are:-Robert
Adrain, New Brunswick; Charles H.
Austen, Camden; Henry L. Butter. Pat
terson; Alfred W. Clement. Haddington:
w. j. Convery, Trenton; Isaac Cole,
William L. Dayton, Ridgewood;
f. Clark Fisher. George S.
Grossvenor, William Hancock. Barton

all of Trenton; Richard H. Fessen-
den. Henry Orick. and ]. Frank

looked up the introducer of the bill and
was assured by him that it was for an
other city. The bill passed the Senate
and when it came over to the House its
object was so apparent that its supporters
openly confessed that its object was to
relieve the Perth Amboy Company.
JOHN KEAN's INTEREST.
A bitter fight ensued. John Kean. Jr.,
the same Republican candidate for Gov
ernor who slowly pining away for an op-
portunity, sacrificed his young life on the
pro bono publico altar. had $4,000 of the
bonds of the company and he used every
one of his vast resources to secure the pas
sage OF the bill.
IL came up at morning session and
was defeated. 1t lacked ons of the num-
ber Of votes necessary to pass bill.
During the noon recess the Kean forces
labored hard and increasingly and left un-
tried no argument which would be likely
to convince member open to conviction,
of the great benefit which the bill would
confer upon the people of Perth Amboy.
When the House reassembled in the
afternoon motion to reconsider the bill
was carried, and Notwithstanding the
bitter opposition of the citizens of Perth
Amboy. the bill was passed by one vote.
1t would not be amiss for the citizens Of
Hudson county to bear in mind that the
Keau forces were led by Assemblyman j.
Herbert Potts in the fight. There were
wild rumors afioat at the time Of the man
ner in which that thirty-frst vote was
obtained.
Tine bill was such good one and SO
much for the interest Of the people of
Perth Amboy that as soon as the citizens
explained the situation to Governor Alb
bett he refused to sign it and it never be-
came law. Moreover. the suit in Chanc-
cry. which the company instituted, to
compel the city to.purchase their works,
in due course of time came to final hear
ing before Vice Chancellor Van Fleet and
was promptly thrown out of court. In
view of these facts there is no use of
the Republicans amounting John, jr.'s.
ness and proclaiming from the Perth AM
boy housetops what a great saint he is
and how he has lost his appetite think
ing of the burdensome bondage into
which the Democrats have cast the citi-
zens and which he will do away with
when elected Governor. The citizens
down here WON'T forget how he tried to
foist a worthless water works upon
them, and will vote for Judge Werus.

public meeting with an address by ex-
Slate Senator c. Henry Sheppard.
The meeting was held in the session
house and Mr.. Sheppard furnished the
surprise. He told his hearers that the
Prohibition party in New Jersey was
handicapped and rendered practically un-
necessary because Of the attitude OF the
Republican party, which gave Cumber-
land County the splendid local option
law" and stands ready to rally at the
very principle of local self government at
any time when it shall secure control of
the Legislature It was therefore, he
said. better practical politics for Prohibit
tionists to support the Republic ticket.
He pointed out the wasted efforts of the
Prohibitionists In times past and believed
that all good temperance people in the
ranks OF the Prohibition and Democratic
parties would see the wisdom of support
ing the Republican ticket on November g.

LOOK OUT FOR COLONIZERS

The members of the Registry Boards
are today making a house-to-house can
vass of voters. The Democratic members
of the Board should exercise the greatest
CAFE in this work for there is every reason
for believing that the Republicans have
prepared gigantic scheme for the colon
ization of voters in this city.
A suspicious circumstance in this con-
nection.is the presence of large num-
Der of tolerably well dressed negroes who
1t is believed that these colored men and
large number Of whites have been
brought from Philadelphia and else
where by Republicans to colonize the
city. It is the duty of every Democratic
member of the Boards of Registry to
note every suspicious name and give
notice of it to the County Committee.
Messrs. Black and Wooley of the
County Board of Registration met in the
Aldermanic Chamber in the City Hall
this morning to revise the list of election
officers who are to act in the coming eIec-
tion. Jack" Erwin, Clerk of the Board,
and Martin Finck attended to the Re-
publican vacancies, of which there are a
dozen in Jersey CITY. Mr.. Black filled
out the vacancies caused by Democrats
declining to do the work.
