The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1892-03-24

II think MIR. McDermott's letter of ac-
ceptance gives to the Democratic party a
platform with which it can go before the
citizens of this city with confidence. 1t
touches on every question of vital i'm
portance connected with our city govern
ment, and Is forerunner of what Mr..
McDermott's administration as Mayor of
this city will be-honest. straightforward
and business like"
Judge Job Lippincott said:-"The let
ter of acceptance of Mr.. McDermott re-
lating to the future management of the
municipal affairs of the city meets
| with my approval, aud feel that if the
recommendations contained in it are car
ried out, the result will be much better
and more economical administration of
city affairs"
| Said Register George B. Fielder:-'It
is just such letter as 1 expected from
him, because of his well known ability
| and desire for reform in our city govern
ment. 1t Is an elegant campaign docu-
ment."
WALK OVER.
| ouotICo OdNlS, WHO usually ID Oub uuSe-
ling prior to election, says now that 1t
would be waste of time to do any elec
pioneering.
Everyone knows Allan l.. McDer-
mott" says he land no one is going to be
| fooled by scheming Republicans. l never
knew of d candidate who suited everyone
| so well. His ability. integrity and keen
| sense of right make his election assured.
| He is the right man in the right place and
the right place this time is the Mayoralty
chair of this city. Republican lies will
| not disturb honest Democrats. Howls of
dissension in our ranks may be raised by
| Republicans until election day, and then
we will show them the absurdity of such
rumors."
Democrats generally are taking matters
very easily. Mr.. McDermott's election is
assured and Democrats are going to do
but little work until election day. and
then Wanser will be hopelessly swamped
| in blizzard of Democratic ballots.
FEENEY ON THE SITUATION.
"Never in the history of JERSEY City has
there been time," said President Feeney
of the Board of Police Commissioners last
night; "when Democrats great and small
have been so confident of victory as in the
approaching election. We know our man.
We know his history. his past actions, his
method of exercising forethought which
once saved Jersey City from bankruptcy.
A man OF Allan L. McDermott's ability is
to be admired. On all sides have heard
of the determination of usually quiet
Democrats to get out and work in his in
terests. Not word of reproach can be
raised against Mr.. McDermott by any
man. He possesses the confidence of the
people at large and predict his election
by an overwhelming majority.
''In what particular NAV ask can
Farmer Wanser be compared with Mr..
McDermott? Certainly not in ability. and
a comparison of the records of the
two men would show that McDermott
WAS much better fitted to be Mayor.
II am a Democrat and I express the
sentiment of few thousand of my COLI
stituents when | say that Allen L. Nc
Dermott is wanted for Mayor of this city.
His election Is foregone conclusion and
the efforts of dozen sheets like the
Ereni1lg Journal conld not and will not
bring him into disrepute.
Last night. in bold type the Journal
announced for political purposes that the
new Fourth Precinct Station House was
falling down. The shallow brained indi-
vidual who wrote that article knew at
the time that it was a lie. Any person
realizes that new building will settle
little, and thus cause the plaster to crack
here and there. No building escapes this
natural process. That building is fitted
wit bcta fbic ho
to cause the walls to crack.
"The whole article is libel upon the
city. and brand it as lie. That it was
written for political bomb bshell is quite
clear, but uDon 10 person will it have the
slightest effect.
"Under Mr.. McDermott's administra-
tion prophecy jersey City will have Il
Police Department second to none in this
country. Mr.. McDermott will demand
and sanction and aid public improve
ments. and 1 know that many will be
made.
"The Republicans may create a cor
ruption fund, and put into the hands of
such men as Jack Graham to be used
freely. 1t will do no good. but it funny
to see the party fighting for reform on the
surface, but in reality straining every
nerve, resorting 20 every device, however
wicked, to get at the purse strings of this
city. Republican Government has been
will not take second dose.
ALLAN l.. McDermott's letter of ac-
ceptance Is the work of an able, honest
man. Democrats will support him on
every side, and wise Republicans know
ing the infamy of their own party will
endorse him. This is Democratic city.
The taxpayers are Democratic, and will
not place themselves at the mercy of such
men as control the Republican machine
in this city"
To Mr.. Feeney's remarks regarding the
Fourth Precinct Station House, may be
added. by way of supplement, the fact
that it was erected under the supervision
of Commissioner Van Keuren, who was
then member of the Street and Water
Board.
say that it is within the power of
the Mayor of this city to enforce
obedience to the constitution respect
ing equal taxation, and that l will, if
elected, use that power.-Allan Nc
Dermott's Mayoralty Platform.

McDermott by GreenVille
