PATERSON. Aug. Is, 1S92--The senti-
ment favoring the nomination of Mr..
Edward E. c. Young. of Jersey City. for
Governor is very strong in the Fifth Con-
gressional district and is growing stronger
every day This district, under the new
apportionmenr is made up of Passaic and
Bergen counties and the townships of
North Hudson. Paterson, which is the
most important city in the district. is one
of tbe largest manufacturing and COM
mercial centres in the State. Its citizens,
therefore, are more than ordinarily inter-
ested in good government and the plac-
ing of the affairs OF the State in the hands
of man whom they know to be safe and
reliable.
Being In the main business men them
selves, they naturally leok upon one of
their number. whose reputation in the
business world for probity. ability and
energy stands second to noue, as the man
most ft to execute the laws of the State.
They are fully acquainted with the meth-
DDS required to conduct large manufac-
turing concern or commercial enterprise,
and they deem that it would be an i'm
mense benefit to the people of New Jersey
If the affairs of the State were conducted
on those same lines. Moreover. they de-
sire to see some man nominated for Gov
ernor who is not the puppet of some AFRO
CANT district boss, who has only to pull
the string to make the puppet act; or the
tool Of ring whose only interest in the
candidate Is the same as that which the
chestnut-loying monkey had for the cats
paw.
MR.. YOUNG NOT POLITICIAN.
1t is for these reasons that many of the
leading business men of Paterson endorse
Mr. Young's candidacy for Governor.
They know him as one of the very fore
most business men of the country, and
man who is not a politician in the gen.
eraily accepted meaning of the word, and
who would not be the tool of any one
man or clique of men. In his hands they
feel that the State would be safe, and
that he would contribute one more to the
long array of Democratic administra-
tions which are the pride of New Jersey.
Even those who differ from Mr.. Young in
politics. and strive to keep warm in their
bosoms the sickly hope that a Republican
Governor can be elected next fall, do not
hesitate to declare that Mr.. Young would
make an excellent Governor if ne should
be elected. The character of the senti-
meat in favor of Mr.. Young is best indi-
Gated by these expressions of opinion:
Mr.. Samuel S. McKiernan is one of the
largest contractors in this part of the
State and has constructed many of the
largest Improvements in this vicinity.
'Mr. Young is one of the leading busi-
ness men of the State" said Mr.. Nc
Kiernan. "His reputation as straight
forward business man stands very high,
and think he would make an excellent
Governor"
FROM CLERK TO PRESIDENT.
Mr.. Edward T. Bell is the Cashier of the
First National Bank.
81 have known Mr.. Young for the past
thirty years." he said, 'tever since he was
CLERK in the old Mechanics and Traders
Bank which subsequently became the
First National of Jersey City. By his in
leRriiy, industry and ability he has risen
from that clerkship to the head of the
largest banking establishment in the
State. Although l differ from him in
politics, / consider him able and COM
petent to fill any position within the gif t
of the people"
Mr.. John J. Brown, who is President
of the First National, stood by while Mr..
Bell spoke in this manner of Mr.. Young.
and heartily endorsed all he said.
81 would not hesitate moment TO en-
dorse Mr.. Edward F. C. Young of Jersey
City as a candidate for Governor" said
George S. McCarte,r leading banker
ana broker. II have known him for
many years as leading business man of
ability and integrity, and consider him
an admirable man for Governor"
Ex-senator Join Mallon, who for
many years occupied position of trust
in The Morris Canal Company, said:-''T
don't see why Mr.. Young would not
make good candidate. 1 have known
him as a fret class business man for sew
eral years, and know that his standing in
the business community is very high.D
Sheriff Richard Rossiter Is one of the
most popular men in Passaic county. He
was elected Sheriff by large majority
which was composed of voters from both
political parties. ''Mr. Young would
make good Governor, like those who
have heretofore filed the office,' said Mr..
Rossiter. "He is able and competent. a
thorough business man, and would give
the State one of the best administrations
it has ever bad"
SUITS THE MANUFACTURER.
''Of all the men have seen mentioned
yet for Governor, Mr.. Young suits me
the BEST" said Mr. Garrat D. Voorhis, a
stove manufacturer. II have kaown
him many years as a straightforward
business man. He has the ability and
the energy to make an excellent Gov
ernor, and if he is nominated will do
all in my power to elect him. will also
do all can to secure the nomination for
him unless some much better man Is
