GRIGGS TEE TRIMMER
His Trying to Carry Water on
Both Shoulders Makes His
Followers Tired Gloom
in South Jersey.

:
| corridors of the State House yesterday,
and they looked blue. In spite of all
their loud talk and boastings, it is evil
dent that things are not going as
4 smoothly as the Republicans would wish.
Those who would talk yesterday did not
| conceal the fact that they were con-
| siderably disgusted with the manner in
which Candidate Griggs has been talking.
Il tell you what it is,'' said a South
Jersey leader, who used to make things
hum when he was in the Assembly, its
an well enough to>decry the Democrats
for having a candidate who cannot go
out on the stump but it wouldn't hurt
us any if Griggs had some erinine or
| something else which he would stuff his
| mouth with. That exhibition he made of
himself up in Hoboken the other night
will cost us a large number of votes in
such anti-raee track counties as Union
and the temperance counties of my sec
tion of the State.
.'Just look at it, His whole course in
/ Hoboken was like that of a guilty man
who was throwing front for the pur-
pose of convincing people of his inno-
cence. I mean by that that he acted as
though he was afraid that his action on
the county excise bill had convinced the
| Germans of Hoboken and other liberal
minded citizens of that locality that ne
was a. +ernperanee fanatic. and he want
ed to show them that he was what he
| called an up to date candidate and
| when he was among them would drink
| with the best Of them.
| TRIES TO BE ONE OF THEM.
$50 he goes into saloon, sits down to
| table, leans back in his chair tilts his
| hat to one side and tries to make every
one believe that he was a = of
