Icy Republican Event in
GreenyilIe.
HoRoKEN REF0RMERS RIOT

The first gun of the campaign was fired
Saturday night by the First Ward Demo-
cratic Club. The report of bombs and ex-
plosion of rockets attracted at least five
hundred people to Montgomery and War
re streets. The club rooms on the south
east corner were ablaze with light. While
brass band footed a popular tune there
was unfurled to the breeze a handsome
banner bearing the names Of Ferdinand
Heintze and Charles Boltwood for Street
and Water Commissioners. William ].
Moran and James Burns for Aldermen.
and John A. Masker for Constable. When
the banner was drawn into position.
mighty cheer was given by the crowd.
which was apparently soiidly Demo-
cratic one.
In the clubroom, William H. Keyes,
the popular president and Joseph
Whalen, an old time hustler, were in
charge. Major Boltwood was present
and made ringing speech. He declared
that if the party would work in har-
mony there could be only one result,
and that victory.
While he was speaking. his running
mate Ferdinand Heintze, entered. He
was received amidst a storm of ap-
plause
Removing his hat and coat he went at
1t hammer and tongs He told everyone
what must be done to win. He called
attention to the fact that victory this
spring meant victory this fall and vic
tory again next spring, which means
return to Democratic government for the
whole people and not a few favored ones.
William ]. Moran, the Aldermanic can
didate, said he was in the fight to win
and declared he wanted everyone to
work with him.
P. H. O'Neiil was among the visitors.
He was accompanied by Samuel G.
Warren, the Aldermanic candidate of the
as only P. H. O'Nein can make. The
First ward, he said. was always the
banner district and he hoped to see
: vote piled up which would offset the
vote in the Republican stronghold
Mr.. Warren made a brief speech and
said he was in the race to win. He said
he would leave no stone unturned TO gain
a seat in the Board of Aldermen
On behalf of the club President Keyes
announced that the members are all
hustlers. He said they would be found
at the polls from the time they opened
until they closed.
The entire ticket was endorsed and
every individual candidate pledged the
support of the club and its friends.

Frank Leader of Ogden furnishes the
latest story of misplaced confidence in
the very much wanted Professor Stod-
dard. He reported to the police last
evening that he had consulted the pro
fessor with a view to obtaining spir-
itual guidance that would enable him
to locate the buried treasure of We
Der canyon"
He had offered the professor $40 for
the information he desired and was
told the spirits refused to take off eheir
coats and go to work for any sum less
than $500. Leader had great faith in
the professor, according to his state
menJ, and went home and put mort
gage on his home to raise the money
Then he came back and the professor
went into a trance but the best he
could do was TO get a promise from
the spirits that they would reveal the
spot where the treasure was hidden at
some future date and ne took Leaders
money and gave him his note which
was to be cancelled when the informa-
ton was forthcoming. The spirits failed
10 keep their promise prior to the pro-
lessons departure for new scenes. seek
