Republicanism and Reform in New
ark. : laaaA

The workings of reform on the G. 0.
p. plan are aptly Illustrated by the
present situation of affairs in Newark.
Mayor LebkuecherJ and his1Rikers family
regime are overwhelmed with the mass
of scandals that are closing in about
them. The Board of Health crookedness
is an old story. Mayor Lebkuecher has
been making a great display of contend
ing against the corruption of that body,
with remarkable lack of results. Mean
time. the public attention has been d.
yerted from other worse nominations.
Now. the murder is out, however, and
honest citizens Of Newark are Disguised
at the manner in which they have been
deceived. Only a short time ago they
were trapped into voting for a Republic
ran administration by promises of re-
form. Today they find the city the thea
ire of disgracefuI practices such as were
never heard of under Democratic con-
troll. sg5a9 . s7 ss
Frauds upon the city by getting money
for dirt never hauled were exposed last
week. and eight men were arrested,
three of whom pleaded guilty. The men
were detected by Watson Mcconochie,
an employe of the Street and Water
Board. Confessions Of some of them
were obtained by City Counsel Riker.
The exposure caused much excitement,
being in the midst of a political cam
paign, and some practical politicians
authorities "for letting it out now" The
excitement was increased when Commits
sioner Stainsby declared in an interview
that "the disclosures when these men
will come to trial will develop the most
rotten government any city ever had"
AS he is a Republican and a member of
the State Committee, his attack on the
local administration was regarded as the
revolt of an honest man, rendered heart
sick by the vileness of his party. The
revelation came at this unfortunate time,
because it could no longer be kept secret.
Toe many people knew it.afi
But, bad as this is, it is not the worst.
II is now known beyond doubt THAT UNI
der ITS Republican Commissioners the
Newark police force is as badly given
over to spankataisun" as the New York
sfnest, was. The investigation into
charges that members Of the Depart-
mert have received protection money

THE New York "Press" says Senator
Voorhees, prophesies Griggs will carry
the State by 5000. The True American
says Voorhees, has been promised the
nice fat job of Clerk in Chancery as a
reward for his exposure of Barney Ford.
This, it is alleged. is the reason why
there was no legislation to make the
office a salaried one. The information
throws a hood of light on Mr.. Voorhees,
sanguine view of the situation; but it
will give Candidate Griggs a hard days
work to explain the situation to Johnny

are men equally as prominent in bust

The society is organized to sustain
the nOn-sacerdotaI character of the clergy
to oppose everything that is an approach
to Roman Catholicism as well as all
superstitious forms, such as genufection
or the bending of the knee before the
altar, etc.
Lighted candles on the altar and other
practices of the ritualists have the spe-
cial enmity of the society. The mainte-
nance of what is in harmony with and
eradication of what is contrary to the
thirty nine articles is a leading specitlca-
ton in the statement of objects.
