To Hon. allan L. McDermott jersey City,
Congratulations Jersey City needs
c. II. WINFIELD.
The above telegraphic despatch was re-
ceived by Mr.. McDermott from Prosecu-
tor Winfield some days ago. Mr.. Win
field has been touring through Florida for
his health, but when informed OF the ac-
ceptance of Mr.. McDermott of the Demo-
cratic candidature for Mayor, without
a moments hesltancy. Mr.. Winfield short
ened his stay, and on Saturday night ar
rived at his home, refreshed by his trip
and prepared and anxious to get out and
work in the interests of Mr.. McDermott.
The few short words in Mr.. Winfield's
despatch demonstrate very clearly in
what high estimation he holds Mr.. NC
Dermott. Mr.. Winfield has been associ-
ated with Mr.. McDermott socially. in
politics and in business, and In every in
stance he has found him man worthy OF
everyone's respect and deserving of the
support of the masses and classes.
Mr.. Winfield is perhaps as well ac-
quainted with the history of Jersey City
as any man in this State. He knows the
ability of the men who have held Office.
he has seen the treasury looted by Re-
publican ringsters and their heelers. He
knows the two candidates presented to
the public at this time. He knows their
respective records and his first act on
learning of Mr.. McDermott's acceptance
was to congratulate him and in SO many
words tell him that he is the man of
brains, honesty and frmness that Jersey
City needs. Mr.. Winfield is out for the
best man always, and in this case it is the
candidate of the Democratic party and of
the people, Allan L. McDermott.
During Mr.. Winaeld's absence the Re-
publican organ. which few short years
ago learned that Mr.. McDermott was not
q man to be imposed upon or trlhed with,
intimated broadly that Mr. Winfield
would not give his support to Mr. NC
MED this false statement and he will now
demand formal retractlon. The true
inwardness of the Republican organs
attack upon Mr.. McDermott is not an
aspiration to aid the Republican party.
II is actuated by purely personal motives.
as The NEWS showed in It's editorial last
Friday. Mr.. Winfield is confident OF Mr..
McDermott's election inasmuch as his
chief characteristics are what he outlined
In his telegraphic communication from
Flolida viz, liability, honesty and firm
ness"
wANsER's DISASTROUS LETTER.
Colonel Wanser's letter of acceptance
has Knocked the faintest hopes of his
election out of the minds of even the
stsupchest Republicans. Its platitudes
and puerilities are SO blatant Jnat even
the rabidest partisan cannot mistake
them for ideas or opinions. The paper as
a whole reads like sophomore essay,
crossed with backwoods stump speech.
Flavel MCGEE has not recovered from
the shock yet, aud Republicans In gen.
eral are exclaiming, "Ohl why did he do
itf"
The fact remains, however. that he has
done it.
WAR IN THE PARTY.
The unanimity that is supposed to pre-
vail in the Republican ranks Is all de-
lusion. Simeon Smith, perhaps the
strongest man in the party, Is not in line.
and the prospects are that he will fold his
arms and allow the Wanser- Farrier gang
to work out their own salvation.
Prior to the convention which nomin-
ated Wanser, it was generally supposed
that Simeon Smith was the candidate: In
fact. the nomination had been promised
him. and but for the Farrier ring he
would have been the candidate. The
Farriers. realizing that If Smith was
elected they would not be able to control
him, ordered the policy shop gang to
Wanser, nominated him and left Mr.
Smith out in the cold. BY SO doing they
lost for the Republican party their best
worker Mr.. Smith declines to discuss
the prospects of Wanser, but it is well
known fact that he is not doing any
hustling for him.
POLICY SHOPS FOR wANsER.
Having lost Simeon Smiths support
the Farriers are rallying again the pro-
prietors of gambling houses and policy
shops, and by every means in their power,
false promises included, are endeavoring
TO raise from this class Of men corruD-
tion fund with which TO elect Colonel
Wanser This state of things has already
alarmed the better and decenter element
of the Republican party. They are
beginning to realize what nzzle they
have made of the whole affair, and have
set their minds at rest in the confidence
that Allan l.. McDerm oft is to be the next
Mayor. and that he will make an honest
and intelligent one, inaSmuch as ne
possesses honesty. and intelligence and
firnlness," prominent factors which ara
LACKING in the organization of their own
candidate.
BUYING THE CoLoRED VOTE.
The Republicans are catering to the
colored vote Money is being expended
freely. and on good authority IL is stated
it will be freely circulated among the Po-
lacks. The most daring and desperate
methods are being resorted to by the Re-
publican heelers. The Fsrriers ;r are put put

DICKINSON AND THE P. o.GANG.
Another neat scheme of the Republican
marty which may result In some high
Government official getting IN trouble. is
the using of the mail carriers. collectors

nurposes than that for which they are be-
ing paid. The scheme originated in the
