terviews with business and professional
men OF this city on the subject of Mr.. E.
+. c. Young's candidacy for the Cover
norship on the Democratic ticket.
The names embraced in this array will
be found to represent all grades of busl-
ness men from the millionaire down TO
the store-keeper of moderate means.
Both parties Pre- represented in about
equal numbers. Only one class of citizens
of any note is omitted. and that
is the politicians. In preparing this arti-
Gle. the reporters of THE JERSEY CITY
NEWS were expressly enjoined to pass
by the Office holders, the office seekers and
the party managers, whether Democratic
or Republican. The object of the quest
that has been made was to get fairly and
apart from all machine influences, the
true sentiment of the public upon the
great question OF the gaubernatorial
nomination.
All the interviews procured are given
below. There is no suppression of any
sort. Some of the speakers express non-
Democratic sentiments. But our object
was to get them to speak frankly as they
think. They do so. and the result is a
unanimous outburst of sentiment in favor
of Mr.. Young.
First They all say he will make a
splendid Governor.
Second. They say he would be the best
possible Democratic candidate, bringing
a great personal following to aid the
party<orces.
Here are the interviews:-
BIG FINANc1ERs.

the Hudson County National Bank,

and would make very strong candidate
for Governor"

Provfdent Institution for Savings, said:-
81 am Republican. but think if Mr..
Young should be elected he would make
good Governor"
Augustus Booraem. manag of the
Booraem estate:-''Mr. Young is a re.
markabIe man. His ability to put life
into a commercial wreck is som ethine
wonderful. He would make fine
Governor"
Mr.. Charles Thurston, President of the
Jersey City and Bergen Railroad Com
pany. was considerably embarrassed
when asked him for his opinion. He at
first refused to express his opinion on the
ground that it was SO well known that he
and Mr.. Young had been personal friends
for years that whatever he might say
might seem to be inspired by srsonal
feeling.
II can not help saying" no said, when
pressed for his opinion, that Mr. Young
Is very able financier, and a very able
business man. Mr.. Young represents the
State as Director of the United Railway
companies of New Jersey. 1t is the law
that one of the directors shall represent
the State. As sucn he has rendered the
State great service in protecting its in
terests. He would make an able Gov
ernor. In such position he would sacri =
flee self interest for the interests of his
party and the people of the State The
taxpayer and laborer could alike rest
satisfied that both their interests were
being protected"
Manager Henry E. Niese. of the sugar
house;-"I think Mr.. Young would make
an admirable Governor. can't think of
any one else just now whom l would
rather see Governor.
Manager George NJ. Christian, of the

Young would be one of the very best can
didates the Democratic party ever put
forward and would make an able Gov
ernor. He is a man of exceptional basi-

he hasn't superior in Jersey City"
Austin Colgate (Rep.). of Colgate &
Co.:-"Mr. Young's known business
ability would demonstrate that he would
make good Governor"
Superintendent Marsh, of the Adams
Express Company:-"Mr. Young is an
able, honest man. believe he would
have no trouble in carrying the State in
his Gubernatorial fight"
Treasurer Vidal. of the New Jersey
Title Guarantee and Trust Company
81 do not see any other candidate for the
nomination whose chances are so rosy. |
think Mr.. Young will be nominated, and
snail be disappointed IL he does not sweep
the State next fall. knowing Mr.. Young
as well as do, / think he is the business
mans candidate, aud am thoroughly in
favor of him, myself. His name will, in
my estimation, add strength to the
National ticket.
