state and the election of David Bennett

CHEERS FOR MADoo.
John C. Sweeny, one of the candloates
FOR Assembly, was next introduced ana
while he was talking Mr.McAdoo entered
the hall. His presence was the signal
for wild cheering which was continued
for several minutes after Mr. McAdoo
had taken a seat upon the platform.
Mr.. Sweeney soon after concluded his
speech and then Chairman Pagan In
troduced Mr.. McAdeo. Again the nall
was filled with cheers and when quiet
was restored Mr.. MeAdoo said
Mr. Chairman and gentlemen-I would
be unworthy this magnificent reception
If I did not thoroughly appreciate it,
Hoboken was always kind and good to
me. I never came to this city that L
did not receive a warm and hearty wei
come. 1 am not fattering you when l
say that there ia no more progressive city
than Hobeken. By this time tomorrow the
question whether the House of Represen-
tatives will be Democratic or Republican
will be settled. I say in all
that I believe the United States will
now enter upon a steady and healthy
prosperity and 1 am satisfied that he
winter of our discomfort is over.
81 don't want the Republicans to go
before the country next year and say
that prosperity was due to the cleo
ton of a Republican House. The Ship of
State has outsailed its difficulties and
hereafter workmen will be given not only
seven months employment but work dur
Ing the entire year. You have made a
wise selection in your candidate for Con-
gress."
OVATION TO COLONEL STEVENS.
At this point tumultuous cheers inter-
rupted the speaker and Colonel Stevens
and NJ. J.. O'Donnell were seen making
tneir way through the crowds which
blocked one Of the aisles. The cheers
continued until the two popular candi-
dates had taken their seats upen the
platform and Mr.. McAdoo continued.
Colonel stevens is a man of wide
business experience ard when you have
such a man in Congress you nave the
bezt possible representative. My friends
in Hoboken could do me no greater fa-
vor than to give him a big majority to-
morrow. CHEERS.
st think an extended argument is not
SO necessary this fall as a pure. lucid
statement of the Democratic position.
Never in its history has the party had
1t such contentious within and without to
such contentious within and without to
contend with. When you put us in power
a little over twelve months e we found
the premises wei nigh ruined. The roof
leaked, the windows We're broken and
tile structure was greatly in need of re-
pairs. When the other fellow had been
put out by the popular Sheriff he had the
i~npudence to go across the street and
criticise our efforts at repairs. When we
went out of power in 80 we left a sur
plus of one hundred millions and when
the Republicans went out in s93 they left
& Deficit of fifty millions. The country
was bankrupt and they We're preparing
to issue bonds to pay the country's debt.
