.S|CANDALOUS FALSHH0OD
The Worlds" Libel on
! Judge Albeit, Apropos of
Theodore Runyon, Ex-
posed and Refuted.

The Nelo York World today contai ned
an editorial. false in every particular, and
libellous In the highest degree. It was
deliberate attempt to viiify Judge Leon
Albeit. The injurious portion OF the
editorial read thus:-
The nomination of Theodore Runyon., ex
Chancellor of the State OF New jersey TO be
Minister 10 Germany is a conspicuously good
one Mr.. Runyon has long and honorable
record as lawyer and judge, and as Chancellor
he won the very highest regard OF all his feIow
citizens. Hiss loss of that office was as honor-
able as his appointment to it. Governor Albeit
sought to use his high official and personal in
fuence in politics, desiring him to stump the
State in a political campaign, which he refused
to do, as thing unbecoming the highest judicial
officer of the Commonwealth, andin resentment
of his refusal, the Governor declined to renomi-
nate him to the Chancellorshlp on the explra-
tion of his term.
TISSUE OF FALSEH OOD.
When | read this false statement of
facts, / called on Judge Albeit and asked
him what he had to say about it. The
Judge carefully read the editorial and
then slowly and thoughtfully renlied:-
81 entirely concur with the World in
all that it says In favor of ex-Chaucehor
Runvon's nomination and his record as
lawyer and Judge, but so far as the
article refers 60 me it Is not true and IS
evidently based on Misrepresentation
in the mind of the writer that twas Gov
ernor when Mr.. Runyon's term as
Chancellor expired in 1887.
Governor Green was then in Office and
he nominated to succeed Chancellor Run
you the present Chancellor, Alexander i.
McGill. Chancellor Runyon was ap-
pointed originally in 1873 by Governor
Parker. | was among those who favored
his appointment at that time. chancellor
Runyon's first term expired in 1850. and
he was reappointed by Governor McCiel-
Ian. The statement that desired or IN any
way attempted to influence Chancellor
Runyon to stump the State in a political
campaign Is untrue. never made such
request Of him or Of any Judge, and 30
far as my knowledge or information ex-
tends, do not believe that any Demo-
cratic leader ever requested any Cnancel-
lor or Justice of the Supreme Court, while
on the Bench, to do So"
JUDICIAL APPOINTMENTS.
Governor, what WAS your policy as
Governor in reference to appointments to
the higher judicial positions?"
During my two terms as Governor"
replied Judge Albeit, s'there were no

REVOLT AGAINST THOMPSON.
A Meeting to Upset the Camden Boss's
Rule.

A Meeting to Upset. the Camden bOsS'S
Rule.
Special to The jersey City Neios.
CAMDEN, March 81. 1894 revolt was
tnaugurated last evening against the rule
of "Billy" Thompson, the Duke of Glou-
cesier," at the meeting of the Americus
Club in this city, this club being one
Of the most powerful Democratic organ
izaLions in South Jersey, ana which was
the first to present Governor WertS for
the Democratic nomination for Governor.
The members have bsen restless ever
since BILLY" Thompson in his audacfous
gambling legislation showed his contempt
for decent public opinion. and they made
no secret of their fear that such a man
would finally bring ruin on any party
that appeared to be responsible for him.
Smoulderlng fire was driven into fame,
when IL was announced last night that
Lawrence w. Fernan, whom the club
favored for the post of Chief Of Police Of
Camden, had been shelved by order of
William H. Davis, a member of the
Thompson Board OF Chosen Freeholders.
One of the mem bers in addressing the
club at the meeting last night used the
following lively Ianguage:-"I feel that
we hard working Democrats have no say
as to who shall be our choice for even city
positions Billy Thompson wants to sit
at Gloucester and dictale what we shall
do and who we must have. Is this right?
Do we have to go TO Gloucester to see
whom Billy Thompson will allow us to
have for Chief of Police? Have we no
rights left? / think the time has come
when the democrats sho uld stand firm
and show that there are men In the party
who are not afraid to defend their rights
against the power of one fnan who cares
for himself Alone
While no action was taken on the re-
marks, several members after the ad-
journnent declared that the time had
come for the members Of the Democratic
party to- cut loose from Billy" Ihomp-
son.
Many democrats openly announce their
determination to work AGAINST the ticket

son is shown In the Second Assembly Dis

number of thefts and escaped capture, but were
detected efecting an entrance to a candy store,
