Robert Davis, Chairman of the County
Campaign Committee, has received from
prominent Democrats in various parts
of the State, kilograms and letters of
congratulations for the excellent work
he did in redeeming Hudson county and
piling up such an enormous vote for the
Democratic candidates. A certain mem
ber of the State Committee has also in
formed Mr.. Davis that he regards the
carrying of Hudson county as a complete
vindication of himself. He congratu-
lates him for leaving no stone unturned
to force off the ticket Objectionable can
didates. Notwithstanding the compli-
Davis is sore about some things, and
this morning he remarked, ST am not as
deep in politics as I have been hereto
fore, but the Democratic party, not in
Hudson county alone. but in all parts of
the State, has accounts to settle with
traitors, and I regret to say that the
traitors. are men who have been well
cared for by the party.
'eThere are few things that wish to
say in regard to the campaign We have
just passed through. To begin with,
the Republicans opened their campaign
early, and the first shot in this county
was at Bob Davis and his gang I
wish the public to understand that I
did not care to take an active part in
this campaign. If defeat followed, I
did not want to have the blame upon
my shoulders. For two weeks I was
free from the fight, and then was drawn
into it by men who pose as leaders and
moralsts. I am Democrat, and once
in the fight I determined to win in this
county. I do not care to take any
praise. I did my duty and my duty only
and I defy all Democrats who were asked
to work to say the same thing
1t is well known fact that in the
early part of the campaign certain
use of Mr.. Davis name in disrespect-
full manner. That gentleman t'crawled
into a hoie'' when Mr.. Davis went to
his Office and challenged him to have
their respective records made public in
contrast with each other
THE STATE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Davis was asked what he thought
of the work done by the State Commit
tee.
81 was not member of that COM
snittee," he replied. ST cannot, or rather
( will not, criticise their work"
1t is quite well known that before a
Gubernatorial nomination was made Mr..
Davis informed a gentleman who finally
became a member of the State Commit
tee, that to elect Mr.. McGill plenty of
money would be required, and Mr.. Nc
GIN would have to resign from the bench
ard stump the State. He was asked
why ne entertained such an opinion this
morning, and he replied
"It was battle Of money, not prin-
elple. But IN Hudson county. want it
well remembered, very little money was
spent
REPEATERS HEADED OFF.
"How do you account for tine COM

asked
sLsst year the Republicans used re-
peaters," said Mr.. Davis. "And repeat
ers were to have been used this year.
For two weeks kept six men in New
York following certain Republicans who
were trying to deal with professional
repeaters. We carried Hudson county
And while men were trailing Republic
cans this year. they came in contact
with repeaters who were worked here
last year. Jersey City was carried by
repeaters for the Republicans as we'll as

that have been informed certain Dem
ocrats were mixed up with the Repub-
licans on both occasions.
