calmly the strongest political club OF
ier party ON the Heights. The club
an last night was crowded to the
oers by a large and enthusiastic audi
eace though it was only the clubs regu-
lar. weekly meeting. No speakers mad
been advertised to be on hand vet the
room was too small to comfortably ac-

Mr.. James Luby occupied the chair.

of Elizabeth. Chauncey Beasley and At
torney General Stockton would address

MR.. HOOS ADDRESSES THE CLUB.
Candidate Edward Hoos paid visit
to the club last night and made a few
remarks. He said
Those who did not go out and vote
last spring are the real cause of the
Republicans being in power. and if the
Democratic party wants to see the Re
publicans remain in power, all that they
have to do is to stay at home this cleo
tion day.
'I feel proud of the honor of being upon
the same ticket with Chancellor Nc
Gill lapplause), for with such standard
bearer the Democracy in this State is
bound to be victorious. Besides the
Republicans have been in power long
enough to show their worth. and now
when are weighed in the balances they
are found wanting. There is no doubt
but what the. people are coming back
to the Democratic party. The Republi-
cans promised US cheaper gas, cheaper
ferriage and equal taxation, but their
promises were nothing but promises
Every man who is sent to Trenton to
represent the people should be man
of honor and one who is in favor of equal
taxation and not tool of a party, syn
dicate or corporation"
Mr.. Fred Spengeman scored the Re.
publican Legislature. He said that out of
their immense majority in the House
they could not get enough votes to pass
law which would compel the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company to remove the
obnoxious manure heaps, which are upon
their property just outside of Hudson
county. That gentlemen, y continued
Mr.. Spengernan, shows the whole Re
publican party to be controlled by cor
porations When they say they are for
for cheaper gas and ferriage, they are
only looking for votes. They are like
Griggs. When he is Hoboken he is for
beer and booze. but VIXEN he's in the
country he's a temperance man out and
out. You can not rely on any one of
them"
GRIGGS AND PROHIBITION.
Mr.. James Luby said he saw in a
Philadelphia paper that Griggs. in his
whirlwind tour through South Jersey,
was preaching prohibition to the farm
ers and advertising all kinds of liquor
to the sports of Gloucester, which had
set the people in that section of the State
guessing what kind of man the Repub-
| lcan candidate for Governor was.
| Secretary Tenant. who, it will be re-
membered, withdrew from the Assembly
race for nomination in favor of Carl
Ruempler, then read the following letter
| from that gentleman
