were turned away as were in the hall
At eight O'clock the hall was packed
and at nine o'clock crowds were gather
ing from all parts of the city. They were

The platform was sf1lled with the brill
liant orators of the parry, and in the audi
ence room there was scarcely space for
one more listener. 1t was an intelligent
audience that greeted the speakers, and

these staunch representatives OF Democ-

an Instance to the heaping enthusiasm
which bubbled over inside the hall.

EX-SENATOR EDWARDS ADDRESS.
Ex-senator w. d. dwards was then
introduced. He said the marked
enthusiasm which prevailed augurs will
forsDemoc ratio success and shows that
Hoboken. the old Gibraltar of Democracy,
is fully alive to the issues OF the day and
the people will be heard with no uncer-
tain voice on Election Day.
sit is, said the ex-senator, ''the same
old story now that has been circulated
since the foundatiou-rhe same old fight
of the classes against the masses. of the
the Democrats against the Republican
party. and. though it may be disguised
aud other issues be drawn In, still the
same old issue is still there.
"The candidate for Sheriff is familiar
to all. Since 1871 he has bean iu office
doing duty first in an humble way, aud
has risen step by step to Constable, to
Councilman, then to Mayor, and finally
was appointed by the Governor of New
Jersey as Sheriff. He remains unde-
feated. How he has filed the offices
argues we'll for his vote. He has been
members Of the Bar Of the county, has
demanded the respect and has stood the
test in an office never so we'll managed
before. He has stood the test firmly and
fairly and no mai can so efficiently per-
form the functions of that office as
Edward R. Stanton. The Republicans
harp about his being the candidate Of the
ring. All candidates are OF the ring when
the Republicans are on the outs. When
Ed. h. Stanton was Mayor Of your city
he had the assurance to say to the tax
com missioRers OF the city, the CITY is
everburdened, and we must cut down
the levy They fought him, but the tax
came down, and the tenant felt the bene-
fetal result of the action, Aud the de-
crease applied TO everyone. landlord and
tenant alike. Sheriff Stanton will be
sent back with q large majority. All
history dUes not show a like condition
where ministers have been called upon to
assist In a campaign.
II want all of you here tonight to urge
all your friends to vote, not only for
Edward r. Stanton for Sheriff. but
for the Democratic Assemblyman In your
district. Be early on your cost az the
nj ri 10 In, St.p,i,, ~,
l am glad to see Michael J. Coyle run
ming again on the ticket for Assembly
His name is tower to the ticket. In
Coyle we have an able aud fearless
man and one whose advocacy is for the
peoples benefit and not his own. In the
Tenth there is man OF sterling charac~
ter, Charles A. Meyer. The legislators
chosen will have every influence towards
the choosing OF United States Senator
in '95 If we lose our Assemblyman we
must forfeit our Senator in '95.
Keep the bell a-tinkiing at the ballot
box on Election Day and let the tune be
for Stanton and the Democratic ticket I"
