exclaimed Mr. McDermott .sAli these pa

gentlemen have no business here. The
only fact to be considered is that we are
threatened with an invasion of our rights.
Lhe only power given to the County
Cierk Is IN cases where complaints are
made that the petition was, not in con-
fornllty with the law All the Court can
pass upon is whether the petition of

Justice Lippincott said he did not see
that he could enter a Judicial inyestiga-
tioli- Mr. Mcpermott said there was no
judicial power vested in the Court nor
IN the County Clerk. They could not
determine whether certain persons could
or could not be candidates. All the Court
can look at is the record brought up
from the County Clerks office. If it were
otherwise. a candidate regularly nomi-
mated would be at the mercy oftthe Clerk
or the Court He said the papers pre-
sented by the other side We're absolutely
worthless, and moved to strike them out
Justice Lippincott decided to hear argu-
rnent but warned the gentlemen that they
must not indulge in political harangue.
Mr. Record opened and spoke for half
an hour He said the candidates of the
ether side were trying to pose as cam
didates Of party to which they did
not belong. He argued that the Ma
tional Democratic Party is regularly or
ganized and said it would be ridiculous to
have two candidates for office running
at the same time. He was followed by
Otto Grouse, and then Mr.. McDermott
finished the argument

HOB0KEN SOCIALISTS.
One Speaker Grinds Out sEae Usual
TwaddIe Denoumefng The Police.

Socialists have tried for some weeks
past to hold meetings in the streets OF
Hoboken. The police have stopped these
meetings in every instance. At one OF
their attempts to hold a meeting, the
police escorted the notorious Emma Gold
man to the ferry and told her TO go back
to New York
Finding it impossible to hold meetings
in the streets, the Socialists advertised a
meeting, which was held in Odd Fellows
Hall, last night. They told Captain Hayes
that the city ought to furnish the hall
for them, because he would not allow
them to hold forth on the street. The
city. however, having no appropriation
for hiring halls, declined the request
The crowd that attended the meeting
last night was the largest. seen at a
political gathering in Hoboken in years
The hall was literally packed and long
before the time for the speechmakfng TO
commence, entrance to the building was
an impossibility The crowd was com
posed chiefly of curiosity seekers. who
expected to see some trouble between
the police and the speakers Perhaps one
sixth of the audience was in sympathy
with the speakers.
The meeting, however, produced but
otAS speaker, d man named lie Leon, who,
IN the very first part of his speech de-
nounced the HoboSen Police Department
He. said the Socialists had taught the
police of New York City and Philadel-
phia the difference between Socialism
and Anarchism and that the Hobolen
police would certainly have to be taught
the same thing. He said they were. as
yet, too ignorant to comprehend the
meaning of the two words.
De Leon, in his remarks said that the
police militia, letter carriers and fire.
men We're all in league with the capital
ists of this country to oppress the poor
De Leon harangued in this manner for
Two hours and q quarter
AT one stage in his speech a man in
