Special to The Jersey City Neacs
TRENTON, March, 10, 1S95:-The leaders
of the Democratic party have become
alarmed at the course things have taken
here. They have come to
the conclusion that something
must be done to remove some of the odiun
which the unprincipled ringsters have
brought upon the party.
United Staes Senator Smith is in town.
A conference was held this morning in
the rooms of the Essex delegation
in the Trenton House. The situation
was gone over and it was resolved to
throw SOD to the people in the
shape of law prohibiting winter racing.
THOMPSON WILLING.
Thompson was called in and the sub
ject was laid before Kim. He
was not so opposed to the
bill as it was thought he would
be. It is said that Dennis Mclaughlin
neither contributed any funds toward the
expenses of passing the race track
bills, nor took any hand in any
way in securing their passage. When
asked to contribute, he said that he was
not interested and advised the other men
to get the Sheriff as he did.
So Mr.. Thompson, after a little argu-
ment appeared perfectly willing to give
up three months racing on hisstrack fol
the benefit of the party.
THE BILL To BE RUSHED.
It was then agreed to introduce a bill
either today or tomorrow, prohibiting
racing during the months of December
January and February. and rush il
through under suspension of the rules. I
It Is taken tor granted that the Cover
nor will approve this measure.

WoULD-BE POsTMAsTERs.

They Are Worrying MIR. Fielder Every
Day-Mrs. McDonald's Case.
Congressman Fielder is just now realiz-
ing the fact that uneasy lies the head
that wears crown." This discovery was
made by the Congressman through the
desire of numerous patriots to serve their
country in the capacity of Postmasters.
There are plenty of these patriots. In
this city the most prominent are Police
Captain John F. Kelly, Ex-Director Ben
jalnin Garrison and the late lamented Tx
Mayor Orestes Cleveland. 1t is needless
to say that Mr.. Cleveland Is third in the
race.
In Hoboken, ex-Police Commissioner
Charles Kaufman and ex-Postmaster
James Curran are the leading aspirants.
Jimmy Curran some years ago fell by the
wayside In politics, ana the chances that
he will again be postmaster of Hoboken.
It is said, are very lew and far between.
Ex-Commissione Kaufman has the en-
dorsement Of the German population OF
Heboken, and it is thought that his
chances for the appointment are very
good
1t had been the intention of Congress-
man Fielder to solicit for the widow of
E. F. Mcdonald the appointment Of Post
mistress at Arlington, but Mrs. McDon-
aid, with excellent Judgment, stopped
this plan for her welfare. Although
there were dozen applicants in Arling
ton for the position, and they all agreed to
withdraw in favor of the widow
of the dead Congressman. she re-
fused to accept the position. She
declared she thought it to be bad politlcs
for her to move from the Town Of Har-
rison, to take an Office in Arlington,
which belonged to the people of that
town. Her friends acknowledged the wis.,
dom of this decision, then begana move
ment to make Harrison full station ,and
If Congressman Fielder succeeds in doing
this for them, Mrs. Mcdonald will re-
ceive the post Office appointment there.
In the other parts of thescounty. the
rivalry for Ipostmasterships is not at
present SO pronounced, but it will be af-
ter Senators Mcpherson and Smith and
the Congressman In the State hold q con-
sultation and decide upon the distribu-
tfon of patronage This conference will
probably take place in New York Sun
day or Monday.

YESTERDAYS VAIN HOPE.
How Davis and His Gang Bulldozed
When the Message Was
Set Back.
Special to The Jersey city Neys.

TRENTON, March TO- 1898. The Hudson
gang was knocked out again yesterday
afternoon in the Senate in its fight
with the Governor over the Wanser bill.
Almost every Office holder in the city was
down here moving heaven and earth to
secure vote upon the Governors veto.
Davis was particularly energetic. and
pleaded and threatenei aud argued with
s ,nators who were inclined to support
the Governor. until the perspiration rolled
down his face In small rivulets. Senator
Barker, who was particularly active in
his support of the Governor, was special
object of the Little Boss concern. and
he pestered the Senator from Gloucester,
until Mr. Barker peremptorily ordered him
away from his desk.
AS the day went on and 1t became more
apnarent that the Governor held the mas
tery. the state of the Hudson men was
pitiabIe. Little Davis's face increased in
humidity until his collar looked like an
August day, and his countenance wore a
e'll-be- Notwithstanding look.
The only straw to which they clung was
the fact that the Dem ocratic Senatorial
caucus had pledged itself to override the
veto. aud they knew that ii they
once got the veto before the Senate, it
would not be sustained. This was
realized by the Governors friends, and
every effort which the Hudson men made
to bring the bill up, was resisted by them.
It was agreed during the noon recess. that
the veto should be taken up first thing
at the AFTERNOON session and vote forced.
Everything to carry out that plan was
arranged, and the ringsters gathered In
the chamber SO as to be on hand to rejoice
ia the triumph of their schemes over the
Governor and honest government.
OH, WHAT A DIFFERENCEl
Bob Davis planted himself on the base
IF a pillar, back of the Presidents desk. in
Main sight of everybody IN the Chamber,
So that his lackeys and followers could
