FREEZING OUT VOTERS.
One Republican Member of The
County Election Board vgeakens.


AT Saturdays session of the County
Election Board, eighty-four applications
of voters who failed to register and who
desired to have their names placed on
the list. were considered. All manner
of excuses for not registering in per-
son We're given. Some were sick, some
were out of town, and others did not do
SO because of pure neglect. Fortyfour
of the applications were granted, five re-
jected and thirty-five laid over for fur
ther consideration. These may be granted
at tonorow's session.
A great deal of time was wasted in
argument. Ex-Judge r. B. Seymour was
on hand to represent the Republican
County Committee, and the Republican
members of the Board were guided en-
tirely by his opinion Lawyer A. G.
Young advised the Democratic County
Committee. Mr.. Seymour eontended that
the Board had no jurisdiction to add
names to the list.
Among the applicants was Lawyer Will
liam b Dougherty. The motion to add
his name was defeated by the Republi-
can members of the Board. Mr.. Dough-
eGty then went before Judge Lippincott
and asked for writ of mandamus to
compel the Board to add his name to the
list Judge Lippincott said it would avail
nothing even if he should grant the ap-
plication, for argument could not be
heard on it until Wednesday. the day
after election
Afterwards. Commissioner Schultz, one
of the Republican members of the Board,
decided to accept the opinion rendered

The Hudson County Democratic
Committee Jubilant Pledge
Of Candidates.

A number of the members Of the Demo
cratic County Committee met in conference
yesterday afternoon in the rooms of the
Hudson Democratic Society, with Senator
DAILY and the candidates for Assembly.
Detailed reports from precincts and districts
were received and were as whole SO favor
able that the leaders quietly marked up an
other thousand for M:. McGill in this
county.
There was speculation as to what the vote
OF the city would be, but the candidates feel
satisfied that they viii show the Republicans
that good Democrats will never desert good
candidates The prime object of the confer
ence was to issue the following address to
voters:
d >mocratic party for Senator and Assem-
blymen, do hereby pledge ourselves that,
if elected, we will use every effort to secure
the passage of such bills as will assure to
the people of New Jersey equal taxation, to
the end that individual property shall be
taxed the same rate as corporate property,
and will give to the people of New Jersey
the control of the State water supply, by
providing for commission to control the
water sheds of the State, in order that the
people not only of this community, but of
the entire State may obtain at any time
new supply of water, irrespective of private
individuals or water syndicates."
The address was signed by Senator DAILY
and all the Assembly candidates.
1t is intended to assure voters, irrespective
of party, that if elected the candidates will
legislate for the people and not exclusively
for party.

ALL THE CANDIDATES

No constituency ever had offered to it
a ticket of more general excellence than
that presented to the voters of Hudson

began life as a mechanic. and later
studied law. The old lawyer jim whose
office he read his Blackstone and learned
the practice often used to say that Will
Daily was the most Industrious student
he ever had in his office. This faithful
application to his work had its legitimate
results, and it was not long after he was
admitted to the bar that he came to be
one of the leading lawyers of the coun-
ty. His entire career in the Legislature
has been such as to win for him the
title of 'eThe Friend of the People His

reasonable cost by the passage of the
State Water Commission bill are well
known Equal taxation, cheapferriage,
cheap gas and the other measures which
the people of Hudson demand from the
Legislature, all found a powerful advo-
cate in him, and long after others had
given up the fight he went on battling
single handed for the right of the people.
Citizens irrespective of party owe debt
of gratitude to William D. DAILY which
they should pay at the polls tomorrow
by giving him handsome majority.

JOSEPH P. MULLIN.

Every taxpayer of Hudson Cerrty who
is opposed to the infamous scheme to
take Harrison and Kearny from this
county and annex it to Essex, should
vote for john F. Mullin, the next name

year, but was defeated through the, in
fiuence of that great monopoly, the Clark

its power to elect John Kerr. one Of o. the the
most active in the plot to dismember the
county. With Mr.. Mullin in the Assem-
bly,, the taxpayers of Hudson County can
rest assured that no bill for taking such
a large territory as Harrison and Kearny
out of the tax ratables will come from
that section.

WILLIAM N. PARsLOW.

William N. Parslow. of Hoboken, whom
the Democrats present to the people for
a reelection, is another one of that lit
tie Spartan band of Democrats that bat
tied so nobly for the people in the Legis-
lature. Mr.. Parslow was always found
in his seat voting for the best interest of
his constituents. and by his faithfulness
materially aided in the passage of many
important measures. He is a native of
New York City, but has lived in Hobo
ken ever since he was four months old
He is, therefore, perfectly familiar with
the needs of his count--, and understands
the best methods of affording her relief
Mr.. Parslow's career last winter was
such as to warrant the belief that he is
a man to whom the people of Hudson
can safely intrust their interests in the
Legislature. The confidence which his
associates have in him is demonstrated
by the fact that he has been President of
the State Undertakers' Association for
three years, and has been Coroner of the
county for nine years.

PIERCE ]. FLEMING.

Tie course pursued by Pierce j. Flem-
ing. the next Assembly candidate on the
Democratic ticket, in the Legislature
last winter, proves him to be fit man
to represent the people of Hudson coun-
ty. Iie fought hard for the passage of
the popular measures, and no legislator
ever labored more industriousls to Sc
cure the passage of bill thar. he did to
secure legislation which would compel
the Erie Railroad Company to elevate
its tracks through this city. Mr.;

DAVID H. CAGNEY.

OF the handful of Democrats who bat
tied for the peoples rights against sucn
Overwhelming odds in the Assembly last
winter, David H. Cagney who next ap-
pears upon the ticket, was one of the
foremost. He was born in New YORK
thirty-nine years ago and came to this
city when four years of age. He has
lived here ever since, and from his early
manhood has interested himself in the
citys welfare, always having been a
faithful, consistent Democrat. His neigh
bors all know him as a faithful, upright
representative, and they want to show
their appreciation of his services by
sending him back again this winter. Al
though a new man in the Legislature,
last winter Mr.. Cagney took promi-
nent part in the proceedings from the
start and was always found contending
and voting for all those measures which
were particularly demanded by the peo-
pie of this county. He is an Al business
man, and such a one as is needed in the
Assembly to balance the professional men
who generally predominate.

CHARLES BAUER.

Another leading business man is pre-
sented as an Assembly candidate in the
person ri Charles T. Bauer. Mr.. Bauer
was born in Hoboken and received his
education in that city and in Germany
and France. In 1882 he went to live on
the Bauer estate at Bulls Ferry, North
Bergen Tow nship, which had been pur-
chased by his father. and he has lived
there ever since. Mr. Bauer entered the
employ of the, Germania Life Insurance
Company at the branch office. With
perseverance, Mr.. Bauer has worked him
self along until finally an opening pre-
senteo itself, when he left the Germania
and went with the Insurance Company
of North America as their special agent.
At this he was highly successful and
worked up a splendid business for his
company on Long Island. The Jersey
business of his company requiring look
ing after, he was requested to take hold,
which he did in his usual vigorous style
and his efforts were crowned with sue
ces. The success which he has in business
clearly shows that he is the kind of man
needed in the Assembly

DAILY On GRIGGS.
The Senator Shows Up the
Arch Pretender's Record
for Hoboken Demo-
efatS.

Another rousing mass meeting, under
the auspices of the Democratic Commit
tee of Hoboken was held Saturday night at
ST. Mary's Hail. Fully one thousand
people were present. Ex-Mayor Peter
McGavisk presided
Assembly Candidate Horace Allen was
the first speaker. He made a short but
interesting address, promising, if elected,
to spare no effort to make his record
one of which the residents of Hudson
county could feet proud.
Senator William D. Daily was the next
speaker. The we'll known Hobokenite
was loudly cheered as he stepped to the
front of the stage. With reference to
the Republican candidate for Governor
Mr.. Daily said:-'John W. Griggs served
two years in the House of Assembly
and six years in the Senate. During
the entire time he was eltner an open
or a covert enemy OF every Dill liltro-
duced in the interest of organized labor.
He is now seeking the votes OF the work
ingmen of the State after having done
his utmost to defeat the bill creating
Labor Day. In examining the legislative
record of Mr.. Griggs 1t will be found
that he was always on hand ana voting
when a water bill was up Tor aetlon.
When one regulating the hours OF labor
for railroad employees was on, Mr.. GrlggS
was in the Senate Chamber when MS
name was called, but ne oodged ms
vote His patron, Senator Hobart, was
interested in many roads affected by the
bill. 1t was passed without Mr.. Griggs'
vote Mr.. Griggs, who now loves the
wage earners, loves them in the words
of the late Mr.. Poe, with "a love that
is more than a love- No one ever
worked harder in the Senate Chamber
than he did to kill the Labor Day bill.
Happily he was not successful, but his
anger at defeat made him less cautious
than was his wont and he went on rec
ord. The bill was put on its final reading
on April s. 1887 and was passed: Messrs.
ing the only two who voted against it."
After showing conclusively that Griggs
was a foe to equal taxation, Senator
DAILY brought his address to a close.
Counsellor Dougherty of Jersey City
was the third and last speaker and work
ed up enthusiasm to a very high pitch.
