Republicans Want Him Out aud
One of Their own Appointed.
Special to the Jersey City News.
TRENTON, April II, S94.-Poormastel
Hewitt was the object of attack by the horde
of hungry office seekers who flock to Trenton
from Jersey City and pack the lobbies, much
to the annoyance of the mem bers. Mr.
Harding introduced two bills affecting the
overseer of the poor which thrusts Mr..
Hewitt out of Office and places the election of
his successor in the Board of Aldermen.
The sincerity of the Republicans in their
loud mouthings for economy when they &C
to work to knock out q Democratic Office
holder was we'll illustrated last night by a
bill introduced by Mr.. Murphy. This pro
vides that Mayors Of Jersey City and New
ark shall appoint e city or corporation coun-
sci at q salary Of $4,000; a city or corpora
ton attorney at a salary of $4,000, and an
assistant city or corporation attorney at a
salary of 81, 800, for terms of two years each,
and legislate out of Office all such officers
now in office.
1t will be seen that this increases the salary
of the counsel and attorney and provides for
a new officer at a salary of 81, 800 a year.

and Courts of Common Pleas sole jurisdiction
regarding naturalization OF citizens and pro-
