features. The "Good Night" song

WINFIELD ONSLAUGHT.
A Republican Version Of Cow
ernor Griggs' Motives
and Procedure.

From the Newark daily Advertiser. y
The most important piece of political
information this week was the report that
Governor Griggs had indirectly requested
the resignation Of Charles Winfield, who
for many years has been the Prosecutor
of Hudson County. Winfield says that his
resignation has not been asked for, and
Governor Griggs is n-on-committal on the
subject, but the fact is, Mr.. Winfield has
been informed thai his resignation would
be acceptable. and that if he does not take
the hint that has been conveyed to him,
more than likely the Governor will for
mally ask for his resignation, because of
the scandals in his office in Hudson coun-
ty. 1t would probably take columns to
tell of the various transactions that are
charged against Mr.. Winfield.
William H. Corbin, it is said, was the
go-between for Governor Griggs. The
movement originated among a number of
lawyers in Hudson county, irrespective of
politics. n they brought to the notice
of the Governor a list of offenses which
they thought warranted the removal of
Mr.. Winfield. The Governor authorized
William H. Corbm TO request his resig-
nation and Mr.. Corbin wrote to Prosecu-
~ - tAiS dind AildhC oil dppOlHltliClt
with him, which appointment was not
Kept, for the reason that Mr.. Corbin acct
IDENTIFY met a well known Jersey City
Democrat on the street and asked him TO
inform the Prosecutor that his resignation
was wanted. This particular Democrat
refused to formally carry such a message,
but informally he repeated to the Prose-
cutor what had happened. and in that way
he became acquainted with the desires
Of the Executive, and of the scheme to
Gust him from office. Mr.. Wfrfield d.
vined at once what Mr.. Corbin wanted
with him, and he never called, so he does
not make a false statement when he says
that the Governor has not requested mis-
resignation, but the Governor will ac-
cept ii all the same.
Winfield's friends are urging him to
hang on. They declare that 1t is sim
ply some small jobbing on theNpart of
some disgruntled lawyers in Hudson coun-
ty. and unless they file formal charges
against the Prosecutor and prove them
he will remain just where he is. What
shape the fight will take remains to be
seen.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1896-02-25

1t is with g feeling of intense WEAKNESS
that everyone VIII read that the water
question is to be taken up again and new
Specifications drafted. 1t is the same old
grind all over again. There will be new
specifications. new kicks against them,
new mares nests discovered by chronic
kickers, new lies invented by those who
do not find the specifications so drafted
out. Then there viii be the same old col
lisions between boards, the same hope
less disagreelnents. the same set of bids,
with the prices all raised a little no
doubt, the same rawlings by the Evening
Journal and the Board of Trade, and at
last, if an award is made. the same old
certiorari suit, no matter who the win
ner may be.
Under the judgment in the case of the
Jersey City Water Company, the draft
ing of specifications is an impossibility.
The Court requires hat they must be
specific in their requirements and yet
such that all competitors may comply
with them. This from one point Of view
is mere common sense, but this point of
view was the one from the which last
years specifications were drawn. None
of the competitors made any complaint
about them. But they did not satisfy the
Court. 1t demands something more def
mite. What that something can be, unless
it is a precise description of some one
water shed, it is not in the mind of man
to conceive.
We look forward to the new proceeding
with little h~opefulness. The city has been
so often cheated on the very brink of re-
alization that we in no way expect to see
anything practical accomplished until we
have a cholera epidemic. The same old
gang of cranks from Joseph A. Dear to
DR.. Quimby are just as ready to make
trouble now as they ever were, especially
when they can always get a defeated
competitor to pay the expenses.
But it is the duty of the city officials to
go on striving If they did not, seeing
the fearful condition of the water supply.
they would deserve to be indicted.

MEYER GOT OFF.
The Jury Did Not Believe He Helped
to Rob Old Man Dfseb.

The trial of Rennig Meyer of Hoboken
on an indictment for assaulting Anton
Disch with intent to rob him, occupied
the attention of the General Sessions
Court all yesterday afternoon. Richard
Barry. who was indicted for the same
crime, pleaded guilty. D.sch, who is an.
old man. keeps a livery stable. in Court
alley and lives upstairs. On the night of
January IL last he heard a knock at the
door and opened it. A man whom he rec
cgnized as Barry attacked him with some
weapon, supposed to be a blackjack, and
robbed him of a small sum of money af-
ter beating him very severely
The evidence showed that Barry and
Meyer started from Meyers brothers.
Of shoes, Meyer said that at Barry's sug-
because New York is full of bad men
who seem to, have free swing under the
present reform administration Two other
men joined them. but their company was
Of on some excuse. Shortly afterward
Barry suggested that Meyer ought to
patr9nlze home trade and buy his shoes
near the livery stable. Barry, according
to Meyers story, borrowed Meyers black
jack and cap and then sent him back to
the saloon with Instructions to wait for
him. as he had a little business to at
tend to. Barry. went to the stable and
transacted his business. which was to
assault and rob old mar Disch. Meyers
cap and blackjack were found at the
scene of the robbery and the natural con-
clusion was that he had been there, too.
Barry said he was, but as Barry was a
self-cnnfessed criminal the jury was
warned to take his testimony with plenty
of salt. Disch testified that Barry was
the only man he saw That left nothing
to support .Barry's statement that Meyer
was with him except the presence of
Meyers cap and blackjack. The jury re-
manned out half an hour and found a YER
dict of not guilty.
