GRBBDVILLE IN line
Immense Enthusiasm at the
Big Mass Meeting on
Saturday Evening.

Judging from the number of Greenville
Democrats who turned out to the mass
meeting held at Metropolitan Hall under the
auspices of the Greenville Democratic Club
Saturday evening the Republicans of that
section can look for an old-time Democratic
majority in their stronghold tomorrow. In
the past few years the Democrats of Green
vile have been somewhat apathetic, owing
to lack of organization, but this year a
change has taken place, and there is every
reason to believe that the Greenville district
will give majority for the Democratic can
didates.
Metropolitan Hall is large building and
can accommodate several thousand people.
On Saturday evening every seat in the build
ing was called into service, yet the club was
unable to accommodate all the voters who
crowded into the hail. The latecomers were
compelled to stand up in the rear of the hall,
and there were enough of them to warrant
the holding of an overflow meeting. There
were at least 1900 people in the hall when
President Witt called the meeting to order
and announced as chairman of the meeting
Mr.. Henry Lembeck. Mr. Lembeck paid
glowing tribute to Chancellor McGill He
said that no voter who lad studied the rec
ords of the two candidates could conscien-
tiorsly vote for Mr.. Gl1ggs. GAS Governor
he will be just as independent, as honest and
as fearless as he has been as Prosecutor, as
law Judge and Chancellor said Mr.. Lem
beck mo gamblers ring can attract him
by its wealth; no railroad corporation by
its influe nee. Just as he met the coal com
bine, so he will meet every issue that comes
before him and decide it with as much free
dom from fear or favor as he decided that
case.n
JUDGE CARROW'S. ADDRESS.
Mr. Lembeek introduced as the first speak
er Judge Howard Carrow, of Camden, who
said in part:-'tThe Democrats of Hudson
County have always been unfaltering in
their allegiance to the cause of Democracy,
and believe that your county, honored iu
having such an excellent candidate as Chan
ceIlor McGill resident, will stand by its col
ors on Election Day, and roll up an old-time
Democratic majority for its candidate. From
Sussex to Cape May we hear the voices Of
Republican orators and the trumpetings of
Republican papers united in an effort to dis
grace the fair name of our State for the pur-
pose of electing their candidate. From the
time New Jersey became State, aye, even
before it was a State, New Jersey men were
regarded as honest and they are just as hon
est in this year of our Lord 1895, as they
have ever been But the Republican party
saws Jerseymen are thieves and unfit to hold
public Office The gentlemen who assume to
be the backbone Of Mr Griggs' campaign en-
deavor to elect their candidate by these
methods. I as Jerseyman say it is an un-
manly way, an unpatriotic way, to disgrace
the State to lift their candidate into the high
est Office within the gift of the people. If
their cause is SO worthy, why then must they
disgrace the State to elect their candidate!
1.-The Democratic party has been in power
now for twenty y-nine years. You hear talk
of Democratic extravaganza, and call upon
YOU intelligent men of Hudson TO examine
the records and ascertain for yourselves
whether this charge is true. If the Demo-
cratic party has been dishonest and not true
to its trust it deserves to be put out
Of power But we don't propose to let
MI. Griggs or ranybody else become Governor
on false issues have here the renor5 of the
Comptroller Of the State, a Republican. The
report is for the fiscal year ending November
/. In it we find, on public record, mind you,
that there is surplus in the State Treasury
Of nearly S900,010. New Jersey is the only
State in the Union that can show a surplus
and this sum was wrestea from corporations.
