The Campaign Closed With a
Brilliant Democratic Dem
onstration.

A fitting close to a hard-fought campaign
was the grand political demonstration held
at the Lyric Theatre, Hoboken. last night
under the auspices of the Hoboken Demo-
cratic Campaign Association. One OF tne
largest gatherings that ever crowded INTO
the popular playhouse greeted the speakers.
A number of prominent local Democrats
acted as vice presidents and occupied seats
on the platform. Mr.. Rudolph Rabe was
expected to preside, but as he has resolved to
take no active part in politics, he sent let
ter indorsing in most cordial terms the can
didacy of Chancellor McGiH.v Mr.. Oscar
Frommell was called upon to preside In Mr..
Rabies stead He opened the meeting with
appropriate remarks, and after short speeches
by District Attorney Stryker. OF Sussex,
and one or two others, Assistant Secretary
McAdoo, of the Navy Department, was IN
troduced.
He made in substance, the same brilliant
address that aroused the Jersey City De-
mocracy at Woods Hall He concluded as
follows:-
'sThey talk about the Democratic party as
reorganized being contaminated with 'tne
same old gang don't believe there he
publican in the whole State of New Jersey
who would step upon this stage tonight or at
any other time and say that he belleyed that
Alexander T. McGill would appoint an unit
man to public office. I am surprised at the
human intellect of scme men. They tell you
not to vote for the Democratic candidate Tor
the reason that there are some bad men who
are going to vote for him. Well, gentlemen,
there have been, since Gabriel blew his horn,
and will be until he blows it again, men
nominated for office who have and will have
bad men vote for them. All men cannot
guarantee pure votes
s.You have ticket of which you should
feel proud / shall not prophesy the result
/ don't think il is necessary. think McGlll
will sweep the State. don't guess or think
but I know that Alexander I. McGill will
prove one of the best Governors the great
State of New Jersey has ever known. have
never seen such earnest and unostentatlous
political meetings as those that have at
tended during this campaign throughout the
State. I will admit that last year we were
confronted by bad state of affairs, but we
have passed out of that and have convinced
the great mass of working people that those
conditions were not the result of Democratic
misrule Here in Hoboken last fall, when
everything was dark and discouraging and
such a great many of willing men out OF
work; during that time when SO many Demo-
Gratis lost courage and refused to go to the
polls and vote, Hoboken stood loyal to the
cause and rolled up one of her old-time Demo
cratic majorities. What will Hoboken do to-
morrow!
"Why, she will give Alexander I. McGill
one of the handsomest Democratic maJoritles
she has ever been credited with. believe
that the whole county will give us an old
time round up. Now, gentlemen, l have
but a few more words to say; they shall be
in reference to the candidacy of William D.
DAILY for the senatorship. Now, | believe
the proper majority for Mr.. Daily would be
about II 900 votes. Whether or not SO great
a number. it is utter nonsense for any one
to imagine that any other person than w. D.
DAILY is going to the Senate from Hudson
county. Mr.. DAILY is a friend Ct mine, or.
probably, | should say that am friend OF
his, for he Was my friend when needed one on
in Hudson county some years ago oen0le-
men, one and all of you, stand loyal 70 your
party's cause, and when the smoke OF papble
clears away let it not be said OF the grea6
State of New Jersey that she has been cap
tured by the enemy"
The meeting broke up amid great applause
