YOUNG TIE PEOPLES CHOICE.
From the Newark s,.-aay .stan6lara


The week just cf I'd has been most
active one in the political field in this
State. The Republican State Convention
has been called for September 13, and the
candidates most prominent are Franklin
Murphy, General E. Burd Grubb and
John kean, Jr. 1t will be an interesting
fight. The Democratic Convention will
be held on September IA, at Trenton. On
the Democratic side of the house the stu
alton is practically unchanged. E. f. C.
Young, of Jersey City, is the favorite
against the field. He will have the unani-
nous support of many counties besides
Hudson county, ana in this county the
boom for kirkpatrick has collapsed. With
any degree of proper management on the
part Of the anti-machine Democrats of this
county. there is no good reason why Mr.
Young should not obtain the majority of
the delegates from Essex to the State
Convention. At large and enthusiastic
meeting of the Seventh Assembly District
Democratic Association, held on Thurs
day evening last, Mr.. Young's candidacy
was enthusiastically and unanimously in
dersed. This organization comprises be-
tween 600 and 700 prominent Democratic
voters, and the weight of this indorse-
menJ has dismayed and frightened Boss
Smith to such an extent that he had to
hurry back from Saratoga, and he is now
engaged in a desperate fight to even hold
his own machine in line. His faithful
henchmen see the handwriting on the
wall aud they see the power OF their King
on the wane. The Coal Combine bill and
water job were such transparent out
RACES ON the people chat they only pa
tiently await election day TO repeat the
dose administered in the Mayoralty elec-
ton at Jersey City. Any candidate for
Governor who has the backing of Boss
Smith and the Coal Combine and water
rings will be the worst defeated candi-
Jersey.
If the Democracy of New Jersey also
are to be insulted by the denomination for
Assembly of the men who voted to in
crease the price of coal. then in every
such district Republican will be elected
And SO he should be. The days of the
arrogant. self-constit uted bosses of the
Democratic party in this State are num-
bered. A Republican LEGISLATURE would
be preferable TO one made up OF dishonest
and corrupt Coal Combine rascals. In
the face of the popular uprising against
bossism the editor of the New Jersey
edition OF the World tries to conte nd that
Young is a bosses candidate. 1t is a
downright lie. The World proves this.
The matters that appear from day to day
in the World are furnished and supplied
by Boss Smith. He virtually owns the
political columns of that newspaper
The accoants published by the World
are distorted and almost untrue
in every detail. They have not
reproduced any of the articles of the
JERSEY CITY NEWS. the Stondard or any
other of the leading Democratic papers of
this State. Some few backwoods news
papers, with no influence or circulation,
and anxious to read the name of their
newspaper in print, are furnishing ex-
tracts for the World. The scheme has
been so fully exposed that no weight is
attached to the Worlds political news.
The day after the convention the World
will sorrowfully be obliged to chronicle
the fact that E, f. C. Young was nomln-
ated for Governor. Boss Smith will have
found out that he is failure as an editor,
as well as failure in his efforts to de-
ceive the people.
