THE ToFFEYs ARE INDIGNANT.
The Association Adopts Resolutions
Repudiatfng Boyden's Methods.

Warden Mitchell of the County Jail
today said. for publication, that Ramon
Boyden, who was employed by him,
was not directed or authorized to repre-
sent that Sheriff Toffey desired anyone
to- advertise in the outing programme
of the John J. Toffey Association. II
Boyden made any such statements to
liquor dealers or others, Boyden was
alone responsible, but he did not believe
that Boyden had done SO. He said
that Boyden was paid a commission by
him for obtaining advertisements. The
Warden regretted very much that BOY
den had been charged with making the
unauthorized representations alleged and
believed thai at an early date he Wouio
be found innocent.
AT a meeting of the Toffey Association,
held last night at Fackert's Hall. the
operations of Boyden were indignantly
discussed and a resolution was adopted
as, follows
"Whereas, 1t has been reported that
certain persons, reported to be authorized
by and acting in behalf of the John
verttsements for the outing Journal OF
said association by holding out INDUCE
ments of immunity from punishment for
violation of law or other inducements
not authorized by the Sheriff or this
association. be it therefore
grets the action of the agents as afore-
said and deplores the fact that the name
of the John J. Toffey Association has
been used in this way n hereby urges
all business houses to refuse to advertise
in the aforesaid journal unless they do
so as a purely business venture without
any other inducements being offered for

The Proprietor of the Bergen County
Courier to it's Patrons.

Previously to entering upon the enter
prise which we are now about to close,
we INDUCED ourselves in the confident
opinion tha there was not a county i'll
any part of our Union containing a
population of 20, 900 souls that would Got
hSndsomely support a newspaper; or
where the inhabitants wou not inter-
est themselves in the prospecting OF such
undertaking. We had observed with what
rapidity Brooklyn had grown and the
success of two papers published there,
the county containing about the same
population as this, nor could we con-
ceive of any reason why that part of
New Jersey in the immediate vicinity
of New York should not be equally pros
porous. We had embraced the maxim
of our father Franklin, h with in
dustry and frugality." one could not only
make a living but become %aff1uent, and
adapted it universally. We were young
and, observing the increase of competi-
ton in large cities. g1Iapproved the sys-
TEN of locating where such might, by
Industry and ~frugality, supply their pres
ent wants, and where future prospect
might afford 1.-THE hope of reward to
Bweeten labour."
These opinions and an~ticipations in
duced us to call upon a generous friend
to aid us by ~pecuniary assistance, while
we made an effort in Jersey City to
support ourselves upon principles of the
maxim before expressed. We are now
taught by sad experience that to main.
