Tha campaign in Hudson.

The Campaign in Hudson.
The campaign in Hudson has been one
of remarkable energy, and it promises to
be crowned with remarkable success.
Not even in the Presidential fight of 1892
was so much work done for the Demo
cratic ticket, and a week before Election
Day in 1892, the prospect for the big
majority. which the ticket ultimately
got. was not as good as that of today.
AS the situation stands at this moment,
the full party strength is organized to
son, the towns on the Passaic and Bay
onne. Jersey City, toe, we believe, has
been recaptured by the Democracy and
may be expected to give anywhere from
COO to 1900 majority for McGill This
opinion we base on the low registry in
the Republican precincts, the number of
Republicans who are announcing either
that they will vote for McGill or win
not vote against him, the great popu-
larity of Senator Daily. which helps the
whole ticket, the strength, individual and
earnestness of the Democratic workers,
and the enthusiasm shown by the rank
and file of the party. So far, we have
rot heard one Democrat in Jersey City
say he would vote against McGill, nor
have we heard Of one at second hand
no has the Journal" with all its vapor-
ing. mentioned one. On the other hand,
everyone knows from ten to twenty Re-
publicans, especially lawyers, who will
give the Chancellor a vote anyway"
The credit for the condition which ex-
lists is due, in the first place, to the ac-
ton of the State Convention in giving
US so immaculate a nomination, and
to the party leadership which brought
that nomination about. 1t is due to the
popularity of Senator W. D. DAILY, based
on his sturdy fight for Democratic prin-
cip1es as the leader of a small but ag-
g~ressive minority at Trenton. 1t is due
to the high character of the Assembly
nominees and to the wise leadership
which accomplished their nomination.
Credit is due to the County Committee
organizing the campaign and in getting
the true issues before the people. Credit
is due to the Hudson Democratic So
ciety for it's contribution to the campaign,
the most visible features of which are
the two mass meetings at Woods Hall,
at wnich the best speakers in the State
are presented to the people, and at the
first of which by far the most telling
and effective address of the whole cam
paign. throughout the entire State. was
made by Mr.. Lindahury.
Much credit is also due to the clubs
and associations all over the city, which
have ~aidedsthe County Committee in the
work oc organization, and lave helped
muster the voters to hear the issues dis
cursed. In Greenville the new Demo
cratic Association has produced marvel
lous results. and it is a practical GER

Railway Cut and the Canal will be car

ton has held two crowded mass meetings
in the black Republican quarter of the
city. Such a thing has not been accom-
plished in Bergen in years before, except
once by this same association, last year.
This organization mas another meeting
slated for next Saturday night, which, to
Judge from the speakers, should be the
banner event of the campaign. r. v.
Lindabury, Allan L.. McDernlott and AT
torney General Stockton are to make adj
dresses, and Governor Wcrts is to pre-
side. Then there is the Tenth Ward
Club. which has been stirring things up
in the old Fourth district, and the Nc
Laughlins nave been making such a
hustle IN the Horseshoe as has not been
seen in years. The Davis Association
has been as busy as usual, and there
are minor clubs and associations TOO
numerous to mention. at least one to
each ward, and all doing great work.
