GREAT BIG KICK.
The appointment OF Nugenu is causing
much dissatisfaction among the demo-
Gratis in GreeDviile. The democrats are
Indignant because a Greenvilie man was
not appointed. One OF them said to a re-
porter OF The JERSEY CITY NEWS this
morning:-"Its nothing short Of an out
rage the way the democrats of
Greenviile are being treated by
the various boards OF this city.
Whenever there are any vacan
Offices in this section, men from The
lower part are Invariably appointed to
fill them. We realize that our district Is
hopelessly Republican, but still we Turn
out and work at every election, and make
every effort Io keep the Republican ma
jority as low as possible This FACT a
DC proven by glancing at the returns of
last springs election. Mayor Wanser
only received 100 votes more th an the
usual Republican majority. H ad the
democrats in the other sections of the
city done as we'll Allan L. McDerm OFT
would have been elected. If the Demo
cratic leaders continue to ignore
us In this matter. they will
awake some morning to find that the
Sixth district has q republican majority
of 1000. Although we are in the minority.
we can make Jersey City hopelessly Re-
publican. The city boards are working
to bring about this state of affairs. Not
alone has the Police Board ignored
us, but the Fire Commissioners also left us
out in the cold. When the new engine
company was located here, the Fire
Board did not appoint one Greenviile
man.n
Captain Nugent assumed command Of
the Fifth Precinct. at half past eleven
o'clock this morning. One of his first
acts was to relieve Sergeant Solomon of
day duty. Sergeant Hoag will hold down
the desk during the day time. while Solo
mon will go back to regular duty.
