The water works question was about the
only topic of conversation in the city yes
terday. 1t was a great surprise to the COM
munity at large that the ordinance looking to
a reduction of tolls was not passed. A num-
Der of business men would like to see re-
duction of water rates and are not backward
in saying so. The proposed meeting Of tax

Thursday evening. will give some OF them
a chance to voice their sentiments.

would have to pay the note besides paying
some other bills. During the past year the
institute gave several entertainments and
on every one money was lost Many of the
young men who were members moved away
from the city during the year. Others be-

ment regarding the Chicago platform and

1.-THE lines upon which the present po-
litical campaign is being conducted and
the Interpretation of the Chicago platform
by the Nav Jersey Democratic convention
held to select electors are in opposition to
the views which l expressed when called
upon to speak on the financial question in
the senate My desire has been to find a
way to harmonic those views with the
platform declaration and TO harmoDize my
individual opinion with the expression of
the party councils. With these objects in
mind / have given the questions at issue
careful consideration The result is / find
my mind adhering to the course l took in
the senate as the only one consistent with
sound financial policy.
This conclusion being fixed, Il neoes-
sarily follows that ] should not participate
in the direction of the campaign as a
member Of either the national OF the state
committee.
".Iustice TO the candidates demands that
their cause be in the hands of those who
are without doubt as to the correctness Of
tho policy proposed by every plank in the
platform.
Il have therefore decided to resign from
any leading position in the political man.
agement Of the campaign. In doing this I
am governed by sense Of propricty and
not by an inclination to set up my ler-
sonal views as against the expressed policy
of my party. But as a Democrat, obedient
to party usage l must and do bow to the
will Of the majority and unhesitatingly
express my belief that the people may
safely trust a Democratic president and
congress for whatever legislation may
prove necessary for the welfare Of the
country. JAMES SMITH, JR -
