ELIZABETH, August s, 1892 The Eighth
Congressional district under the new ap-
pointment of the State consists of Union
county, Bayonne City, and what are
popularly known as the Republican town
ships of Essex county. The most Inn
portant sections u this district as far as
the number of voters is concerned, are
Union county and Bayonne City. In both
those sections there is a strong sentiment
in favor OF the nomination of Mr.. E. f.
C. Young. President of the First National
Bank of Jersey City. for Governor. 1t is
remarkable movement from the fact
that it is largely supported by that por-
tion of the community whose business
interests lead them to pursue a conserva-
tive course in politics, and support for
Office only those men in whose ability and
independence of all cliques or bosses they
have full confidence.
NOT A HURRAH MOVEMENT.
This movement in favor of Mr.. Young
has about it none OF the noise and hur-
rah which accompany the booms of the
politicians, but it is the sober thought

honestly interested in the welfare of the
state as well of their individual locali-
ties.
The ward heeler and the political boss,
who is in politics for what he can make
out of them are not heard from In con-
necton with this movement, unless it be
to ,malign lit. They have their icandi-
nf oh
enough for them, but the men who
praise Mr.. Young and his business abil
tiles and do not hesitate to declare that
they would be glad to see him in the
Governors chair are the men never seen
working district or trying TO capture
primary.
Another notewor.hy feature of this
movement in favor Of Mr.. Young is that
it is manly based upon the high repnta-
ton rs straightforward business man
which Mr.. Young enjoys in all parts OF
the State. Men of affairs who have no
Personal acquaintance with him and
many who have never seen him know
him so well by this reputation which he
has achieved in the commercial world !,
that they declare without any reservation
that he is the man The State requires at
this time. They say that the times de-
mand man who, it is certain, will be his
own master and will take no dictation or
orders from any self-constituted boss, aud
they are onfident that MIR. Young is that
kind of a man.
UNION BUSINESS MEN TALK

illustrated, however. by the expressions
of opinion upon the subject which fol-
low. The men who express these opin-
ions are all men of prominence In their

whose prominence, both in the social and
commercial worlds, gives more than ordi-
nary weight to their utterances.
