THE TROLLEY AS A MAIL CARRIER

Postmaster Jordan's attention this morn

it would be good thing.

LOCAL ISSUES.
s'One thing is firmly impressed on my
mind" continued Mr.. Davis coming
down to local issues, s'and it is that the
people are tired of the present govern
nent. Jersey City is Democratic and
hope it will remain so until some of our
local trimmers' are paid in their own
coin. AS to the county, it will remain
loyal to the Democracy If Democrats are
loyal to the people. I have been ac-
cused of many things that others are re-
sponsible for I do not want to appsar
as a leader. Under our reform system OF
electing candidates no leader is ncces-
sary. The system is the creation OF hon
est Democrats and all the party wants
now is honest workers. There are
traitors and soreheads at work already,
but do not believe their opposition, even
if they identify themselve more closely
with Republicans, will amount to any
thing"
s'Hawe you heard" asked, that GER
tain Democrats have started movement
against you as leader?''
ssI have" was the reply, 'tand defy
the men identified with that movement
to say they are true and honest Demo-
Gratis. I am not the leader and I do
not want to be considered as such, but
treacherous Democrats must not try to
foist men on the Democratic ticket for
the purpose of defeating it. That has
been tried and accomplished, but it will
not occur again if my voice and vote will
in the Democratic ranks. We have new
blood in the party now and I am willing
to step aside and let others manage it"
A BRIGHT OUTLOOK.
"When the old politicians step out
Jersey City will be Democratic, and so
will Hudson county and the whole
State Had certain Democrats worked
faithfully in this county in this cam
paign, Chancellor McGill would have
polled even heavier vote. We have
yddng and intelligent men interested in
the party. We had men working this
time who have never before shown any
interest. This being the case, why
shouldn't men whose usefulness is Ques-
tionable get out? The outlook is bright.
and unless the Republicans tie our hands
the party will be able to elect the
Sheriff next fall and the Mayor for Jer-
sey City in 1897. The party is well or
ganized, and there is no reason why it
should not remain so.

as a leader is an excellent thing. I will
help that movement. Let the press

Tho decision OF tho court was road by
Justice Brewer and was unanimous,
thoro boing no dissenting opinion. All
the contentious OF tho government woro
sustained. Tho conclusions OF tho
court, rs announced in Justice Browor's
opinion, wsro that the government OF
tho United States was one having iuris.

ovory individual within tho boundaries
OF tho United Statos, and that whilo 1t

decision that Eugene v DeDs and the
other officers Of tho American Rlilway
Union, now under indictments for vic.
lations Of the antitrust aud the mail

to stand trial. Under to.day's decision
Debs will servo his sentence OF six

tho government will consider this a suf-
iiciently severe punishment without
prosecuting the criminal cases against
him or his associates.
