CELEBRATIONS IN ORDER

The first authentic news of the great
Democratic victory throughout the State
was given to the Jersey City public this
morning through the extra edition issued
by .trhe Jersey City News" and en- the
street at ten minutes before three o'clock.
The were largely snatched up by the
people, whose experience in the past has
taught them that .The Jersey CITY
News are always authentic and relia-
bic.
Two hours or more afterwards the
"Joul zal'' appeared upon the street with
a complicated mass of figures which no
one could decipher. and which conveyed
nc intelligent account of the result.
The oe topic of conversation in the city
today was the brilliant victory which the
people won all over the State yesterday
Republican deceit and false pretences re-
ceived such a rebuke as seldom any party
has received before. Nowhere vas that re-
buke more sting ng than in tbs city. and
10 where WAS there greater rejoicing
than that which was called forth by the
overthrow of Edward w. weoley. the
bumptious City Clerk
There was considerable speculation this
morning as to who would succeed him.
Candidates sprang up in the night and,
al claim TO have "cinch. z
These who are prominently mentioned for.
ne gazlt.on are ex-I'ol'ee Justice Michsel
J. o'Donnell. John j. ,dulvaney. william
Tolson! Assistant Clerk Of the Street and
Water Beard; TAX Commissioner James
c. Clark. Thomas Cummings ard James
Clarke. the latter clerks now employed in
the cfsice. Mr.. .Mnlvaney, it is sad. has
the undivided supp9rs Of the Young Demo-
Gratis VINO did as muca as. anyone else to
bring about the fla,ssering- result of yes
!. terday's battle Of the ballots.
Another officer of whom this VIC
terry will rid is Captain Jack
Graham. the present City Marshall. John
C. Hartnett, backed by Alderman Guiton,
is already in the field for the honor of
hosting the American flag on the city's
liberty pole and bossing the Aldermanic
Chamber. Cap Cunningham is a
Fourth ward aspirant for the Office
The two other offices which the new
Board of Aldermen win be called upon to
fill are:-Inspector Of weights and Meas
sures. now held by j. H. Weastell. and
Building Inspector, now filed by George
II. Jones. Edward Kelly, the former
Building Inspector. is out for the Office,
but as a successor Of Jones he has not,
and ii is whispered, is not entitled to the
support of any member of the party he
claims allegiance with. Kelly is to be
sde-tracked without any, apologies being
made. AS the election will not change
the political complexion of the Street ana
Water Board only a few changes will be
made in that department. None of these
changes, however will be made right
away as under law passed this winter
all officers elected ait spring elections do
not take office until the first Monday of
the following May. AS that is three
weeks Off yet, there is plenty of time
for any quantity Of candidates for the
various offices to spring up.
One Of the most jub.lant men in the city
today is Alderman Mccarthy His arch
enemy Edward Busnptious Woolley, lies
low in the dust. while the horn Of the
Alderman is exalted. There is nothing
now which can prevent the invest cation
into Mr. Woolley's management of the
city Clerks office, and the great Reuben
Simpson cannot staye it eff.
Every Republican in the city had
reason for the defeat this morning. Some
winked and said
.'Didn't we do IT up brown in our pre-
cinct?p
others hit the ex-bumptious City Clerk
a kick in the ribs
Ex-AIderman Mccarthy was referred
to as the 'beaut'' who had paid Woolley
off in gold coin Some pleasant refer
ences were made to the free ticket graft
ing Of the wealthy Republican Aldermen
The fight the good people Of the Old
Fourth District had in trying to con
vince the Aldermen that next door to
schoolhouse was no place for saloon
was spoken Of as one Of the defeating
factors.
