H0BOKEN TAXES REDUCED
Mayor Stanton's Ordinance Passes
With Bells On.

The meeting of the Hoboken Council
last night, although important In it's re-
suits, was marked by the absence of that
argumentative fire that crowd In the
lobby came to see and hear.
When Mayor Stanton's amended tax
ordinance. which decreases the levy by
about $50 900. came up by title for it's sec
ond reading it was passed by title
with vote OF six to two, Kelly and
Fenton having leaped the fence to The
May side, whereat the lobby ap-
plauded loud and long. Mayor Stanton
was not present, but his arguments were
evidently, and he carried the day.
At the next meeting of the Council the
ordinance will loom up for its third read
ing and will undoubtedly pass.
There was DO debate over the
ordinance. all being as gentle as any
sucking dove.
The license question came uD again In
the presentation of one hundred and fifty
applications for liquor licenses. Chair
man Erlenkoetter asked IL there were any
applications for grocery liquor licenses
among them, and on being informed that
there were said thas it was illegal to
grant such licenses and they would have
to be laid over. The applications were
all laid over to give the Council an OPP
portunity to straighten things out. At
the last meeting of the Council license
was granted to groceryman Bullumple,
on Eleventh street. The Council will
probably revoke this license and return
the money

REPUBLICAN VIEWS.
"But If Cleveland Is Elected, We
Will Have q Good President"
Says Flavel MCGEE.

Flavel MCGEE naturally talked from a
Republican standpoint, but he was

This eght," said Mr.. MCGEE. "is the
old fight tor a high or low tariff. IL con-
centrates all the high tariff interests in
bhe great manufacturing and agricultural
dist icts; for, since the passage of the
Mckinley bill, all the farmers have met
are for high tariff. From the Eastern
standpoint Cleveland is sound on the sill
yer question. and that will prevent the
Republicans In the silver States from
going over to the Democrats because they
will have nothing to gain from Cleve-
lands administration, II he is elected.
'"rhe question of New JERSEYS
electoral vote will depend IN some
measure upon the nomination of
both parties for Governor. If the
Republicans nominate clean, strong
man he will beat any Democrat that is
suspected of being in completely with the
Democratic faction most recently in
power; and If so there Is fair reason to be-
iieve that he will carry the electoral
ticket with him."

Grover Cleveland Deeply
Moved by the Conf

of His Party.

BUZZARD'S BAY, Mass, June 90, 1892
At 4.30 this morning Mr.. Cleveland,
through Governor Russell, sent from
Gray Gables the following statement to
The press:
II should certainly be chargeable with
dense insensibility If 1 were not pro-
foundly touched by this new proof of the
confidence and trust of the great party to
which / belong, and whose mandates
claim my loyal obedience.
II am confident that our fellow
countrymen are ready TO receive with
approval the principle of true democ-
racy, ana l cannot rid myself of the belief
that to win success it is only necessary to
persistently and honestly advocate these
principles.
Differences of opinion and judgment
in Democratic conventions are by no
means unwholesome indications, but it is
hardly conceivable in view of the impor
tance of our success to the country and 10
the party that there should be anywhere
among Democrats any lack of harmon

paign which opens before us. have.
therefore, no concern on that subject.
sit will certainly be my constant en-
deavor to deserve the support of every
Democrat"
Mr.. Cleveland was terribly tired when
the news of the total of the balloting
reached him Joseph H. Jefferson de-
parted at half past four O'Clock from
Gray Gables.
Mrs. Cleveland went to bed at four
O'Clock. and when the nominee of the
Democratic party sought his chamber it
was nearly five.

THAT BURSTING HOSE,

of the Old Stuff.

uperintcndent Brown Says 1t Was Some
of the Old Stuff.
The JERSEY CITY NEWS exclusively
announced in its extra" yesterday the
burning of the pattern shops of Brown &
Miller's Vulcan Iron works in Essex
street. Mr.. Brown claims that at least
thirty thousand dollars worth of patterns
were stored away in the building, but as
many of these were considered useless,
the estimate on the loss Is fixed by the
firemen at lit;l lie more than one-third of
those figures. The building, which was
frame one, together with all the patterns,
was entll ely consumed.
Speaking of the bursting hose which
hampersd the efforts of the firemen,
Superintendent Brown and Assistant
Chief Denmead said last night:--"Oply
one length of hose burst and that was
old hose, which could not stand the rough
usage occasioned by apparatus rolling
over it. We were not seriously hampered
bv it. and it was not worth mentioning.
Most of our hose now is in the very best
condition. The bursting of a length even
of new hose is apt to occur at any fire."
Assistant Chief Denme ad. discussing
fire matters in general, remarked:-"We
ought to keep the water in all the boilers
at boiling point as the engines stand in
the houses. It's only matter of couple
of pals of coal a day"

says:-"This has been in service ever
