mott-Mr. Hoos' Speech.

Long before the appointed hour Turner
Hall on First street commenced to fill
with citizens of German persuasion.
Everybody knew that one OF the best
known and ablest speakers of the cam
paign would discuss the mayoralty ques-
tion in the language of the Fatherland.
The presence of so many citizens was
not due 10 any exertion of the committee
in charge, but ouly to the popularity of
the cause and of the speaker of the even
ing, ex-Alderman Edward Hoos. The
man who seconded McDermott's nomina-
tion seems to consider himself honor
bound to let no opportunity slip to in
crease the majority OF his candidate. A
successful business man himself, he is
able, more than many others, TO judge
between the two candidates.
President Louis Hornwedel opened the
meeting; Mr.. Schmall acted as secretary.
Ex-Alderman Hoos was escorted to the
platform, aud greeted by the audience
with deafening applause, lasting some
time before he could commence his ad-
dress. Mr.. Hoos read a translation in
German of MIR. McDermott's letter of ac-
ceptance. the best campaign document
ever issued, and called the attention of
the audience to the principal points in re-
gard to reform of the city government.
He arraigned the Republican Office seek
ers as the same crowd that ran the city
into debt to the tune of ten millions of
seven per cent. bonds, which with the
compound interest Will have been paid
four times over by the time they become
due.
TO convert these bonds into securities
less burdensome TO the taxpayer will be
one of Allan McDermott's principal eff
forts. and The man who saved the city
once. will be able to care for her affairs
in a position, where he STANDS alone with
out the embarrassing company of would
be financiers, who having failed to get
there, give vent to their jealous wrath
by belittling the success of man every
inch their peer. The speaker brought the
house down with cheers by comparing
Mr.. McDermott with Bismarck, the
founder of United Germany, who, with
strong and firm hand took
hold of the helm of tie Ger
man empire and guided the once
wrangling and disunited nation to union
and success. ''1rust Allan McDermott
with the management of the affairs OF
our city," he said, land you will find,
after his term has expired, Jersey City

that she deserves according to her local
advantages and the industry and enter
prise of her citizens, having. before all.

partment.
With three cheers for McDermott for
