/ The early part of his speech dwell upou
National issues. he alluded to the
efforts of 6 over Cleveland (the mere
mention OF whose name by the way,
brought forth q sudden yoliey of cheers
| and applause) to give the people of this
| nation honest money aud wipe out the
| Ubiquitous money legislation foisted upon
this country by John Sherman, Repub-
| lican Senator and a Republican PRESS
dent. He onote from the October uum-
Der OF the North american ReUielU the
| opinions of all the Presidents of leading
/ stock, petroleum aud mercantile ex-
changes in the country TO prove
tnae the recent panic was the

Dsrmott declared that hetting upon
horses and race track legislation in Ren-
eral was legallzed by Republican Lsgis-
| lature ia 1880. He himself. as member
OF the Legislature of that year. opposed
the measure because they would not
leave the matter to each community.
The law was passed by a Republican
House, and In the Senate nine repub-
licans voted for it aud three democrats
against 1t. President Sewell voted for IL.
That law would yet be taken Off the
statute books. but it would be the repeal>
log of an act of Republican Leglsla-
ture,
HIS RESPECTS TO DR. sCUDDER.
Mr.. McDermott paid his respects to the
Rev. John L. Scudder in the following
manner:-
II recollect short time ago when ran
in an unfortunate campaign for Mayor of
this town, Mr. Scudder opposed me.
Perhaps l don't know what minister
should do in politics. Maybe Mr.. Scud-
der has 2ighS TO be In politics But !
believe that If the meek and lOwly NaZ-
arene were on earth today he would hurl
his lash against some Of the ministers
who are yelling politics from the pulpit.
Mr.. Scudder has opposed every democrat
in this county for the past ten years.
Has any one ever heard OF his bowling
against a Republican candidate? Has
any body ever heard of his taking for his
teXt, Thou shalt not commit adultery"'
Then Mr.. Dermott wanted to know
what had become of all the reform pro-
missed by Mayor Wanser through Mr..
Scudder. If there are any policy shops
in Jersey City why don't Mayor Wanser
close them up. He can remove the Police
Board il they fail to enforce the law.
Why does not Mayor Wanssr, il 1t is
known that policy playing is flourishing
in Jersey City, say to the Police Board,
BY the eternal God I'll remove you from
off1ce' Oh, no. Mr.. Scudder is not look
Ing that way. That's looking down the
RepuOlica alley"
A DIRTY. OBSCENE MONSTER
Mr.. McDermott next paid his respects
to DR.. Parkhurst, whom he called
dirty, obscene minister. MIR. McDer-
mott said he would not utter a word
offensive to any religion, and would give
his life TO help protect a man In his re-
ligious belief, but he hated a humbug.
Mr.. Parkhurst had revealed the little
spoonful of brains he mad IN his head.
aud had caused y greater mass OF filth in
literature to be published for children to
read than any other man on earth. He
was simply q rattle Drained, narrow
minded humbug. u man who went into
house OF assiguation and got girls to
commit sin and then mad them Indicted.
Mr.. Nc cDermott spoke quite bitterly of
the turning down of Charles w. Allen.
an honest and able Democratic official,
for Reuben Simpson. who. during the
taking of testimony In the asphalu con-
tract certiorarf case. was obliged to admit
that the published reasons for his recon-
meudattons to the Street and Water
Board were written py an agent of one of
Mayor, merely signed it,. The speaker
also called attention TO the fact that
during Toffey's tncumbency of the Office
of Sheriff. most OF the work was per-
formed By Under Sheriff Con. Cronin,
who was afterwards elected to fill the
office. AS TO Mr.. Fagan fearing Stanton
might be with the pool sellers. why, Mr..
Fagan had been President of the North
Hudson County Racing Association for
the past five years.
The speaker citsd list of such men as
Ex-Governor Bedle. Charles H. Wiufield
[applause], eX-Judge Garrsttson, Cnant
cellor McGill and others. who said Stan-
names of few democrats who were
opposing bis candidacy. and said the
former would outweigh the latter, as gold
does chat. He maintained thai Stanton
should not be neld responsible for other
mems records. Such methods were not
usually applied to religious, business or
any other work of life. Even Stephen P.
Ransom, Prohbitionist. but honest in
his belief. told the ministers in political
convention that they might GalK as they
pleased, but Edward R.Stanton, although
be did not endorse htn politically, was
the best Sheriff the county mad had In
fifteen years. loud and continued
cheering aud applause
OTHER ADDRESSES.
Edward r. Stanton. the pRrty's can
didate for Sheriff. also addressed the au-
dlence at length. He was euthusias-
tically received. aud at the conclusion of
his address he was cheered to the echo.
He was followed by General Will AN
Heppenheimer, who alluded to the fact
that Sewell was Toffey's boss aud that
McEwan. the Republican candidate for
Assembly, was one Of Sewell's Federal
Supervisors of Elections. M
DR.. Stout, the Democratic candidate for
Assembly, also spoke. He. too, was en-
Enthusiastically applauded.
The meeting wound up with three
rousing cheers for the entire Democratic
ticket.
