The weather this week up to Thurs
day morning, was quite favorable for
the planting interests, aud from all we
can learn considerable progress has
been made.
Some little corn has been planted,
with preparations for large planting
next week if tic weather permits. We
are assured that much larger acreage
will be put in corn this year than last
and proportionate diminution in the
cotton acreage. If this method is pur-
sued by planters generally, the South
will be solid for the year 1898 with
plenty of corn aud a fair price for the
staple.
There has been an increased acreage
planted in Irish potatoes this year, and
some of the tubers have their sprouts
above ground with great vigor.
Business continues very dull health
good, money scarce and hard times

FAGAN HIRED THE BALL FIRST.

But Minturn and O'Hara Came Pretty
Near Beating Him.
Mayor Pagan two weeks ago entered
| into negotiations with one of the priests
connected with Father Corrigan's parish
in Hoboken to hire ST. MarJ's Hall for
this evening. Fagaa intended having
what he styled big "Independeut Citi-
zeus' Mass Meeting" As the Mayor ap-
peared personally before tho priest
the latter thought it was all righs
and said the halt would be reserved for
him. The curare failed to apprise Father
Corrigan of the transaction, however it
having slipped his memory. Leader
John E. O'Hara and Corporation Counsel
James +. Minturu of Hoboken decided 60
have final meeting of the campaign to-
night at the hall. So they went to
privilege. Mayor Pagan heard of it and
became very much excited. He hustled
around TO Father Corrlgan's parochial
residence on Willow avenue and made
known the purport of his visitation
why man. said the priest, The hall
Is slread rented for tonight"
~ know it Father, but don't you see I
hired ir first?"
"On, Well. now don't see how that is.
You're sure about it2"
why, yes. impatiently responded the
Mayor. "Pm sure. I told one of your
priests about it,"
The cnrate was summoned, and had an
attack Of creeDs when he remembered
that the Mayor had engaged ths hall
from him. He told Father Corrigau that.
and the priest had laugh at the Mayors
expense. Fagan looked uuco nrortahle
and said:-
What can be done about it?"
"Pll fix it," was the answer; you eau
have your meeting" And the Mayor
left 10 satisfied frame of niiud. Father
Corrigan sent word to Leader O'Hara,
and the S25 was rafuude! !. "A mistake"
said the priest. and Pm sorry, bat the
hall is the Mayors for touight.H
His Honor thinks 1t was a game. He
maintains that the Democratic people in
Hoboken wanted TO cheat him out of a
ToHey meeting.

names"
Owen Quinn. a policeman, testified that

Cross-examined, witness said he had
been given sixteen names by the Mayor
TO investigate.
TINE FOR THE DEFENSE.
Mr. Miuturn asked no more quest ions
put requested the Court to dismiss the
application because the notice had not
been properly served. Ex-Judge Doug-
lass claimed that the uame should be
stricken from the registry, but before
the Judge could reply Mr.. Minturn asked
for time to rrove that Ammermann does
live at No. 81 Washington street.
Judge Hudspeth said he would not
strike from the registry any name on
hearsay evidence, aud that counsel must
produce some person in court who lives
at the address in question, and uutil that
was done. the case would be held under
consideration.
MISTAKE OF THE HOUSE CANVAS.
The next case called was tDat of VIII
liam Buckley. registered from No. AZ
Newark street. Thomas Grantland testi
ned that he received u letter after having
served a notice on William
Buckley and the letter was
produced in court. The letter stated
that Buckley did not know that he had
been registered, that he was not entitled
to vote for he had not lived In the State
or at the address one year. The same
evidence applied to John Buckley, who
lived at No. 43 Newark street.
The Court decided to strike from the
registry the anne sof William Buckley.
and made the same ruling in regard to
John Buckly. The Court said 1t supposed
the names had been enormously placed

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
Speaker Crisp Says 1t Will Recon-
mend a Reduction 10 a
Revenue Basis.

CHICAGO. Nov. 6, 1s93.-Charles F
Crisp, Speaker of the House of Repre-
sentatiyes. arrived at the Palmer House
last week. He is accompanied by his
young son. In speaking of the repeal
fight, Mr.. Crisp said:-
3 1T was long and weary struggle and
everybody was glad when 1t was over aud
Congress- could adjourn aud rest
could be taken. AS far as the
House was concerned, it was simply
wititing to see what the Senate would do
OF course the bill only being passed last
Thursday, L can't say what the effect
will be exactly, but the majority of the
business men OF the country seem TO
think that unconditional repeal was the
thing needed at present,
The house will have some verv inn
portant legislation before 1t at the begins
Mug Of the regular session In December.
Mr.. Wilson's committee will have It's
tarln bill ready at an early day. The
sub>committee has already decided on
rates in the schedule. and the general
committee will consider them some time
next week. l believe Mr. Wilson's COM
m1ttee will recommend a reduction OF the
tariff to u revenue basis. in accordance
with the declarations Of the National
Democratic platform. The tax on
refined sugar may be reduced con-
sideraby, but the tax on whisKey
and beer aud tobacco may be Increased.
IL is estimated. ! believe. that an increase
OF one Cent on whiskey will add ST ,00O.-
600 to the revenues. The present tax ON
whiskey is ninety cents. and say it is
increased to $1.20 that would mean an
Increase of $50, COO. 900 to the revenues of
the government"
Speaker Crisp said that besides the
tariff pill, the House would come to vote
on bill to take off the 10 per cent. on
State banks. Mr.. Crisp said the Demo~
Gratis might lose few votes in some sec.
tions Of the south on account of the pass
lug of the repeal bill, but he did not
think 1t would amount to anything seri4

we also have one of the finest National
Guards in the country. II we were at
tackled by foreign nation New Jersey

equal to that of any State in the Union"
The speaker told how under Democratic
rule the City of Newark had fiourished,
and declared that that city was never
better governed than it is today. It's
taxes had been reduced tor the first time
when the people rose up en- masse and
elected Democratic administration. The
speaker said he was not sufficiently
acquainted with the local Democratic
candidates in this campaign to speak of
thelr personal characteristics. That they
were the choice of the party was sufficient
Tor MIN. II the Republicans carried the
county and sent Republican representa-
tives to the Legislature. they would be
simply taking power out of the hands of
the masses and putting it into the hands
OF few. AS to Mr.. Stanton, the party's
choice for Sheriff, Republican lawyer OF
Newark, in one of the leading club houses,
VINO knew something about the manner
IN which the Sheriff's office was conduct
ed, told him few nights ago that Hudson
county never had a better Sheriff than the
man who now fills the Office.
DIR. sToUT's ADDRESS.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Duryee's
eloquent speech there were loud cries for
Stout. DR.. Stout, who occupied a seat
upon the platform, came forward amid
considerable applause, for which he first
thanked the audience. He said that if he
should be reelected to the Assembly, and
he was positive he would be, he would do
his duty as democrat; he would do his
duty to his constituents He believed in
protecting the backbone of the Dem cratic
party, the poor man, the laboring man,
the honest toilers of the nation. He be-
lieved in home rule He would see to it
that no Staten Island rock or other ma
terials with which to build school houses
and other public buildings were brought
in while we had quarries atour very doors
and men to work them. (Applause.)
The meeting closed with cheers for the
entire Democratic ticket

quently quarrelled. They were lying In

been more or less apatheric. When |

an not overestimating. Anyway it will
be proven ou Election Day.
ln the Tenth Leader Cornelius j. Tahen
declared that Stanton's majority will be
few votes over 300 aud Meyers will be
3 little over 200. This Is, think. a very
safe figure to place it at. allow so votes

Gratis have carried the district and / see
no reason why they should not now.
Although l think Stanton's majority

nearer $40, still | would rather be certain

MAJORITY IN THE ELEVENTH.
Assemplyman Johu Z-lter, the Demo-
cratic leader in the Eleventh district said
today that he believed that district would
give Sheriff Stanton 1900 majority tomor-
row.
'on what do you base this opinions" 1
asked.
"On the reports made by the members
or the District Committee" lie replied.
viii you give the figures from each

I'VE expect that the following majori-
lies for Stanton will be giv-n:-West
HoboKen. 300; Union Hill. 800; Uuion
township. $50; Weehswken, 25;, North
bergen, 250 and Guttenbe z, $50, which
makes total of 1,175 majority. These

tain the result will not fall below them" +"
REPUBLICANS HOPEFUL
Inc Republicans throughout the coun-
ty yesterday generally expressed tnem-
solved AS being we'll pleased with the
prospect for tomorrow. Whether the y
were sincere or not every one spoken to
said he believed that Colonel Toffey
would certainly be elected aud by good
majority too. The leaders said they ex>
pecGed that Democrats would try TO do
great deal of Illegal voting. but they said
5ney did not fear it for they had COM
piete record OF every person entitled to
vote and ANY others atte mpting to do SO
would be- arrested Immediately.
In regard to the election of members of
Assembly ons Republ leader sal 1--WE
will elect SaliEger in the Second, Holmes
In the Third, have good chance to elect
Hooker in the Fourth and Harding in the
Fifth. The Seventh district will surely
elect Kerr, and Tom McEwen Is confident
that he can carry the Eighth district"
Gamaliel X. Christie, the leader, had
more than fighting chance In the Eisv.
enth district.
Every Republican,. when discussing the
situation. would say. III we have good
weather we will win." Certainly in no
recent cam paign have republicans gener-
ally been so hopeful as they are Of the
result of the present one.
