In the Assembly and now he SAYS he
won't vote for Stanton" He said that II
is the duty of every democrat to vote for
Edward r. Stanton, who. IL he is elected,
will be controlled by no party or no one
man, but will do his duty fearlessly and
honestly.
Sheriff Stanton came in while Mr..
Clarke was talking and when he had flu
ished said few words to the audience.
He saiu:-''Is stand before you tonight
asking for your suffrage for the high
office OF Sheriff of Hudson County. You
have no doubt read of me. Nearly every
newspaper published has pictured E. r.
|. Stanton as proper candidate to be put
in a jail instead of in the Sheriff's office
| am NO orator. and it requires no orator
to fltI the Sheriff's office. all 1t needs is an
honest man. Now will tell you in few
words who this man E. r. Stanton is"
Mr.. Stanton then reviewed his life from
the time he was nine years old until the
present time. Continuing. he said
"Republicans on all public platforms ad-
nit that have performed by duty faiths
fully aud yet they say am ring nominee.
| say it with all candor that If I am re-
elected Sheriff of this county Will be
Sheriff and no bosses will rule me. I
shall perform by duty honorably and
faithfully and in justice to all. In con-
clusion. l would saw vote the entire
Democratic ticket in this campaign. The
nominees for Assemblymen are all men
of the peo, le. aud If elected will work
for the first interest of the people. Il is
with pride that / think that although it
may be stormy tonight there will pc O
bigger storm of Democratic ballots ou
next Tuesday and we will wash away all
Republican oppositlon.'' Governor
Wer,s was escorted to the platform
before Mr.. Stanton had finished
When CIV. Werts was introduced he said:
II am ere not to make.extended remarks
but simply to advise yon as to your ac-
tions on Tuesday next. The hour is
drawing close when speech making must
he re placed by action. | trust that on
Election Day you will cast your votes for
the Democra ic nominees. From the
record OF the Democratic party III this
state it should be continued in power.
Since the year 1874 there have been only
four Governors of this state that
were not democrats" He reviewed
the good work OF the Democratic party
in the past three years. and showed that
while Colonel Toffey as State Treasurer
only left balance of $33. 900 In the
treasury, that ou October 81 Of this year,
with a Democratic Treasurer, there is
S724 900 TO the States credit, besides
havs been built. "All this" said he,
''has been done without the intsrposition
of any State tax. One result OF Demo-
cratic administration is the establish
of free system of public instruc-
tion in this State. which will stand com.
parlson with those of any other State.
At the Columbian Exposition, many ofiths
first prizes have been won by the New
Jersey schools. and they never once fell
below second place. The Democratic
administration has regulated che liquor
traffic. All these things have been dons
for all the people. Assuming this to be
Il gathering of democrats. let us
see why we should all rally
to the support of the party
this campaign. There are sixty Assem-,
blymeu, all of which are to be elected
Eight Senators are to be elecred. IL is
possible that Republican majority may
be elected, and the control of the House
US see how this would affect the Demo-
cratic party. 1n 1895 United States
Senator will De elected. and ii the Repub-
licans have the majority he will be a
republican. This might turn the Demo-
cratic majority in the Senate and affect
all the measures of rsforni inaugurated
under President Cleveland. If the Re-
pubiicans have The majority in the
Legislature This winter they will
elect republicans to the Offices
of State Comptroller aud Safe Treas
urer. They will also redistrict and reap
portion the election districts aud we will
again have horse shoe districts. Whether
you look at 1t from a non-Dartisan point
of view, or whether you look at iI as par
tisans, your interests are with the Demo.
cratic party. The Sheriff of auy county
Is, SO to speak, the first citizen of that
county, aud as we elscJ that chief official

be in the ascendency in that
county. There is no Office in the county
SO important as that of Sheriff am
conyinced that II Stanton is elected as
Sheriff of this county the Democrats and
abiding citizens Will never regret 1t.
Stand ny your candidate for Sheriff aud
stand by your Assembly nominees that
we may be represented up at Trenten by
men who will continue Democratic
