The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1892-04-15
Among other things the Paterson

Press says
The result of yesterdays charter election in
Jersey City was one Of the most wonderful and
gratifying victories ever achieved in New Jersey.
1t looks very much like the beginning OF Il po-
litical revolution that viii at last sweep Democ,
racy from its entreG ch1nents III this State ana
destroy the rule of the wicked oigarchy which
has so long held our people under the collar and
lash. II this oligarchy can be overthrow IN
Jersey City. the very citadel OF its power, IL can
be yet more easily overthrow anywhere else IN
the State by a similarly reso lutte aud united
effort.
And SO on for half a column, end
ing in this highly significant strain
The effect of this overthrow of the Jersey
City Ring will be of uncomfortable Importance III
the coming Presidential campaign in our state.
1t will inspire every New Jersey Republican
with courage and hope. 1t looks. we repe It, as
if a popular revolution had begun. and it is not
at all an inadmissable idea now, that our state
may be entirely redeemed from Democratic
control this year, and placed in the Republican
column.
There you are, democrats, you who,
in spite of all warning, insisted on
voting against your party, your
party's best man, your party in the
hour when it was redeeming itself.
Next comes the Camden CouTSe1':-
Camden Republicans take off their hats to the
Republicans of Jersey City. The people OF that
city covered themselves with glory yesterday,
when they elected Colonel p. Farmer Wanser TO
be Mayor of that city. = 1t was a
glorious act. = = = The good work be-
not be suffered to lag, but must be kept up from
this time on until afte' the November election.
The Legislature must be taken.
Here again we leave out the mere
vulgar abuse, the coarse personalities
and insane rawlings which are the
stock in trade of Republican editors
and of which the Courier gets off a
quarter of a column. We just leave
enough to show the drift.
Another paper-we must apologize
for losing track of which it is, as the
Office cat has eaten away the credit
memorandum, which the Exchange
Editor doubtless marked on it, from
the slip now before us-varies the
monotony by nominating Colonel
Wanser for Governor. Here is the
suggestion in FULL
Now the Republican leaders of this State
want to keep their eye on Colonel Wanser, of
Jersey City, as a possibly available candidate of
the party for Governor. This is the third time
he has carried Jersey City, and he has never
been beaten in that city when running for au
office. This is an important fact to bear in
mind. He is not a rich man, but the selection
of rich men hitherto for our standard bearers
has not proved fortunate. The man who can
get 200 majority in Jersey City certainly looks
like i good one to try for Governor with.
The Trenton Times winds up an
article:-
Let them (the Republican leaders,. but keep
up the good WORK they so auspiciously in
augurated yesterday and the Hudson county
ring, which has so long been a stencil in the nos
triis of the people of New Jersey, will soon be a
thing of the past.
And here is something from Eliza
beth Jougndl:-
The news seems almost beyond belief, but it is
true.
The results of this election are of incalculable
that at last the people of that viciously mis-
governed and plundered city have risen and
slain the blool sucking government that was
taking its life?
the end.
A few days ago, we warned demo-
Gratis that the pretence of fighting the
battle on local issues only would van
ish if the Republicans won the
victory, and it's Importance" in State
and Federal politics would be magni-
fed. Were we right?
Now, democrats, what are you
going to do to repair the damage?
