FOR THE WHOLE PEOPLE.

MIR. John Doscher. the Republican cam
didate TO the Chosen Board of Frseholds
ers in the Eighth district, is. without
doubt. one of the most representative and
worthy candidates nominated by either
party for this important office. Mr..
Doscher has resided in the Eighth dis
trict for the past tweuty-eiGht years, an6
for ten years has been one of the districts
most active and progressive business
men. Being large property owner. he
has always identified himself with meas
ures of local and municipal reform in the
interests OF the tax payer and voter re-
spectively, and his voice and influence
have been directed entirely toward moVes
ments, in order that q pure and econo-
mical administration of public affairs
should exist in Hudson County. To this
end, when he accepted the RepublieaH
nomination, he informed the Convention
that, in his acceptance OF the important
distinctly understood, that ''UndeT ne
considerations would he pander to any
poliritical oligarohy whether Republican
or Democratic, or would he submit to any
pledges given on his behalf, but wouid
absolutely and unquRlifledly devote hia
official selections to the office for the ben.
eft of the taxpayers and voters or the
district and Hudson County, irrespective
Uf party bosses, rings, or any other or the
corrupt influences that today is the yoke
of oppression around the necks OF the pe0-
pie in our M unicipal affairs" For these
utterances the gentleman challenges ad.
miration from the people, and it Is for
them to "Press the Buttsn" and Mr.,
Doscher's ability and we'll known reputa-
tion will do the rest, as peoples rspre-

TRIED TO KILL A CARDINAL.

Transitional Crime in Hungary-The
Second Attempt.
By Gable to the United Press
VIENNA. April 10, 1S93.-Greas excite
ment has been caused by an attempt to
assassinate Cardinal Vaszary. the Primate
of Hungary. The Cardinal was walking
with his secretsry when a well-dressed
young man rushed upon him and made
DESPERATE attempts 70 stab him With q
knife. The Cardinal stepped to cue aide,
evadsug the blows, while the secretary
received TWO severe sta bs. The would be
murderer was arrested. but refused to
give any information as 10 his motive or
his identitY. Cardinal Vaszary Was m
hurt.
There seems 10 be no doubt that the
attempt to murder the Cardinal was
prompted by the intense struggle now
going on in Hungary in relation to civil
marriage and the baptism of children OF
mixed marriages. in which the Cardinal
is looked upon as the leader of the eccles-
iastical party. In December last, Caral-
nal Vaszary, who was then Prince
Primate. but was not promoted to be a
Cardinal, was attacked by a young
man with a revolver. The young man
claimed to be the son of a magnare. and
entered into conversation with the Pri-
mate on the subject of the marriage con-
troversy, pretending to support the Pri-
mates views. Suddenly the young man
produced revolver, and compelled the
Prinate to give up his ring, gems and
diamonds. The fellow was probably
nothing but robber.

UNION LEAGUE ENDORSEMENT.


The following resolutions were adopted
by the Union League Club on Saturday
night
Whereas. Mr.. Reuben Simpson of Greenville
has been nominated for the now important
Office of President of the Board of Aldermen,
and
Whereas, Recent and what. without partisan
ship, may fairly be called vicious legisla-
tion, and SO characterized by Governor Werrs,
has made this Office the most important and
vital in our city government, next to that OF the
Mayor, and
Whereas, The misgoyerned condition Of our
city requires man Tor this position who Is
true patriot of sound Judgment, OF strong com
mon sense perfect honesty and fairness, with
what is known as man OF Back Bone.
Resolved, That we, not mercy as Republicans,
but as citizens and taxpayers, recognize in Mr..
Simpson man of this stamp, and we call on
our fellow townsmen, irrespective OF party to
elect him.
1t must be plain to every voter who one year
ago. voted for Mayor Wanser, that he then, in a
measure, threw his vote away, unless he now
sequence Of vote now for Simpson.
Resolved, That notwithstanding the receipt
by the city of about &c. 000 from the So called
Martin Act. which receipts will ceas during the
present year Gin addition TO the revenue derived
from excessive taxation), the bonded deot OF
the city has largely increased, and the city has
nothing TO show for it, therefore 1t Is manifest
that the time is ripe for the voters to rise up
against the ring that has been in power during
all this period Of mismanagement.
Resolved Our interest s. alike of citizenship, civic
pride, to say nothing oil our duty as tax payers,
call upon all, irrespective OF party, to vote for
Mr. Simpson, SO that Mayor Wanser may be
aided in carrying on his policy Of reform.
Resolved, That we, as citizens, endorse Mayor
Wanser's administration, and commend him for
his courageous fight against such strong oppo-
stiou, and recognize that he has fulfilled bis
promises made before his election. TO give the
city, as far as was possible to him, an economi-
cal and business like administration. The CO.
operation, at this time, of like minded man
such as Mr., Simpson, is an imperative duty,

FIRE AND MURDER.
Highly Sensational Crime at Mill
ville-An Unsolved Mystery.

MILLvILLE. April 10, 1893. This morn
ing about A. NJ. the house of I. Bassett.
near South Vineland, was discovered
to be on fire by neighbors. and when they
arrived at the scene they found Bassett
lying on the ground near the burning
building with his skull crushed in.
Bassett was one os the witnesses in the
case of James P. Trynor. who was found
dead under suspicious circumstances
Saturday. The case is very mysterious.
That a murderous assault was made
upon Bassett when his house was fired
there is no doubt. The physician found a
bullet hole in his head. The ball had en-
tered over the right eye and came out over
the left. His head is covered with
bruises made by some blunt instrument.
At eight o'clock this morning Bassett
became conscious and made q short
statement.
He said that at four o'clock this morn
ing he found himself lying on
the floor of 2 his bedroom which
was filed with smoke. The
house was only one story. and he crawled
with difficulty to the window and got
out. This was all he was able to say, and
he again became unconscious.
Bassett;s trunk was found lying near
the burned house. It had been broken
open and rified of valuable papers. The
house was burned to the ground, and in
the ruins to-day was found a jack
knife covered with blood, which has
been turned over TO the Coroner. Mem
bers of the italian family who lived with
Tryuor, who was found dead on Satur-
urday. it is reported, visited Bassett
yesterday. Warrants have been iss ued
for their arrest. The greatest excitement
prevails.

ALL At SEA.
Both Sides Claim Every.
thing Republican Cam
paign Misrepresenta-
tion.

Tomorrow Reuben Simpson will know
whether he or Charles w. Allen will. for
the next two years, preside over the Board
of Aldermen, and also take part In the
meetings OF the Board OF Finance. as e1-
o1icio member.
There is diversity of opinion as to
which Of the candidates will be success
full, and the friends of both are prepared
to work hard to get out the legitimate
vote and prevent repeating and other
frauds at the nolls.
Today City Clerk Scott has been work
ing as hard as he possible could in
Issuing ballots. The corps of clerks in
his office scarcely had time TO take a
hasty lunch, SO great was the rush for
extra ballots. 1t was noticeable that
the largest demands for extra ballots
were made by democrats and. it was said,
indicated that the Democratic leaders
meant to fight as hard as possible. The
number OF ballots was found to be en-
tirely too small and this morning the
City Clerk was forced TO issue an order
for large additicual number.
REPUBLICAN MISREPRESENTATION.
In all the public Offices and places
where prominent democrats were found
today, they were discussing with indig-
natiou the campaign circular which was
issned Saturday by the Republican City
Committee.
Democrats claim that this effort to de-
ceiue the voters in the city will pot bene-
fit the Republican cause aJ all and that
at least nine and probably ten Demo-
cratic Freeholdess will be elected. and
that surely fixe out of six of the Demo
cratic candidates for Aldermen will also
be successful.
The Republican circular referred to is
really an attempt to obtain votes under
false pretenses, for it conveys the idea
that the same Issues are at stake in
the present election that would
be il members of Assembly
were TO be elected. s'Such issues
as the recent race track bill. and the in-
crease of salaries of officials" said q
democratic leader, do not enter into this
campaign at all. and the attempt of the
Republican City Committee to force sucb
issues TO the front simply shows that
BODY to be guilty of perpetrating
the same sort of fabrications
that it has flooded the city with for time
immemoriaI. The question before the
people is simply the character OF Charles
W. Allen and the reputation sfor honesty
thct he has made during the
two terms that he has been Alderman
at-Large. 1t has been conceded hersto-
fore without question that the ability OF
Mr. Allen as finaDcier cannot be doubt
ed, and that the circular that has been
sent to the homes of every voter will have
no effectn

ELIZABETH, April 10, 1S93.-At three
O'Clock this morning fire destroyed the
three-story tenement at No. 4S9 Marshall
street and carpenter shop In the rear.
The house was occupied by the families
of Frederick Adams. a grocer, and Edward
Rolla. The fire started in the 2rocery
store, and the explosion of an oil tank
quickly filed the lower part OF the putld-
ing with flames. The fire spread so rap
idly that the inmates were forced to fly
for their lives, escaping TO the street clad
only in their night clothes. Everything
in the house was consumed. The build
ings were owned by Edward Mulholland,
who lived over the carpenter shop. The
loss amounts to $1,000, partially covered
by insurance.
