The Worlds" --latest Boomerang.
The World rallies-or rather at
tempts TO rally a new political force
TO its aid this morning, by obtaining
from a selected corps Of editors ex-
p~ressions of opinion upon this ques-
tom
What do you think of the policy
of nominating for Governor op the
Democratic ticket B. +. G. Young of
Jersey City2"
There was no intention to be honest
in this proceeding. Every editor who
was known to be in favor of MI.
Young was deliberately left out. THE
JERSEY CITY News. the Newark
Standard. the New Brunswick Times
and a number of other leading Demo
cratic papers were deliberately ig-
nored. because it was a foregone on
clusion that they would not answer
the way Mr.. James Smith, Jr., and
his brass domed organ wanted.
But. to give the devil his due, there
was a surprising honesty displayed in
the answers actually published. Per-
haps it was a mistake of the young
gentleman who handled the copy,
perhaps even the Smith organ has
streaks of truthfulness in it's compo-
sition. We do not pretend toaceount
for the fact. but the fact is some OF
the editorial answers were the direct
opposite of what the World was look
ing for, and yet the World actually
printed them.
Here, fer instance, is what Mr.. G.
A. Seide of the Hoboken Nea0s has to
say
tionably carry the Democracy to triumphant
victory. He may be besieged by designing pol
itlcians, but l. goes without saying that if
Office without fear or favor in the interest of the
people, to the benefit of the Democracy and
with honor to himself, friends and party.
Here is another which must be a
bitter pill to the Smith boomers. It is
from Editor John Briest of the Tren-
ton Daily Emporium.
Mr.. E, F. G. Young is a firstclass man in
char. 8* - IF Hudson or EsseT
must again control the Convention, Mr.. Young,
Mr.. kirkpatrick or A. L. McDermott would be
supported with earnestness.
This is, assuredly, not what the com
bine wanted. But Editor F. w. Fay
lor. Jr., of the Long Branch Record is
even mor disastrous to the cause of
the ratified field. This is what he
says
l am in harmony with the policy of nominal
ing Mr.. Young. have no second choice. ]
don't believe 10 second choices. Ii a man is not
for God he is for the devil.
Well, Welt How did this ever get
into print? We fear Mr.. Smith must
have had a bad time over his toast
and coffee this merning. and there
will probably be a vacancy on the
New Jersey staff of the World this af-
ternoon. But here is still another,
contributed by Editor John F. Hall,
OF the Atlantic City Times Democrat.
Senator Mcpherson is the most popular Demo.
crat in South Jersey. If he names Young VIZ
are for him.
And SO onl
AS for the letters in which Mr..
Young is distinctly opposed, the dom.
ination of James Smith, Jr., fairly
shines out in every line, Take the
Newark Journe5, for instance, or the
Orange VoKsbote. It is just funny to
see them tear their hair yer the prom
inenee of Hudson.
There remains a third class, by fal
the most numerous, embracing those
editors who avoid the main question
altogether, and simply state their OWL
first choices" for the nomination. o.
these some FIVE or six favor Judge
Werts, generally with a great big "if'
as to his acceptance. They are gen
