The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1896-09-12
SATURDAY. SEPT. IL, 1896.
This paper is Democratic IN principles
and is Independent in ats vielcs on al local
questions.
The onrre.s,ona

The danger of taking ones facts about
Jersey politics from the New York morn
ing papers was illustrated yesterday. All
these more or less accurate publications
agreed In the assertion that Allan L.
McDernott was to be PROVIDED out of the
Democratic nomination for Congress by
a combination of silver leaders and that
young Mr.. Alexander C. Young of Hobo
ken was to be put up in his place.
Seeing that all the papers agreed, we
really took it for granted that the state
ment was true in III or in part. We
could not quite swallow the Young end
of the rumor; but the part about Mr..
McDermott was so circumstantially told
that we thought it must be correct. We.
therefore, commented editorially upon the
assumed state of facts, before our re-
porters had completed their investigation
OF the New York papers
The rumors of Mr.. McDermott being
turned down proved to be unwarranted
The chances of his nomination seem to
stand precisely where they did a week
ago. That is to say. it is a hundred to
one that he will be the nominee. This,
however, does not impair the validity of
the general principles which We laid
down. The regular party organization
here is looking for a big concession from
the Honest Money organization. 1t wants
its entire local ticket endorsed and the
names printed upon the Palmer and
Buckner ballots. We hope to see this
accomplished, too. But a concession of
this Importance demands a mi con-
cession of no small magnitude, and what
has the Regular organization to offer the
Gold men, or what could the Gold men
accept unless it b. the nomination Of
a staunch adherent of the gold standard
for the seat in Congress for the District.
This is a plain, square bargain. The
Regulars nominate Mr.. McDernott for
Congress and the Gold men ought, and.
we believe. will u-nhesitatingly endorse
him n the County n Assembly tick
cts as nominated at the Regular pri-
naries on the 18th.

PUTTING the currency question aside.
Allan L. McDermott is a Democrat of
Democrats. In all his writings and
speeches he shows that he has the true
party faith. the tradition of personal lib
erty, home rule and respect for the Con-
stitution handed down from Thomas JEFF
ferson through a long line of patriotic
statesmen. He has devoted his entire
public effort to the good of the Demo-
cratic party. He has captained it in one
winning fight after another until his name
has come to be the %shibboleth of Demo-
cratic victory in New Jersey. It is I'M
necessary for US to repeat what we said
yesterday concerning his personal Mt
ness to serve the people in Congress.
This is. indeed. a thing which not ever
Republicans dispute.
Now. we say that when it comes to
Election Day. no honest Democrat, even
though he be stricken with fine silver
heresy. win forget the claims of Allan
L. McDermott or his high utility to the
public and cast a vote against him. He
win, we lave a firm faith. pon the en-
fire unbroken vote, WHICHEVER it may be,
that will be cast for the so-called REG
ular" National tickeI He will, besides,
gain the solid support of the Gold Democ-
zaey. and will bring its votes besides to
the candidates for Sheriff. for Surrogate,
for AssembiyInen and for Freeholders.
More than that, we believe his mastery
and courageous fight for the gold stand
ard. for the homo of the Nation. the
integrity of the Constitution n the
protection of personal property will win
him many hundreds of independent and
even Republican votes.
His nomination will be a good thing
for the Regular organization and its cam
didates in every way. 1t win conciliatc
public favor by showing liberality and
regard for the opinion of the thinking
element of the party-an element which
is almost entirely opposed to the silver
craze and its representatives.

Lyric Theatre, Hoboken.

tsThe Black Crook" which was present.
ed at the Lyric Theatre last night. ITO
those who are fond of songs, dances and
melodrama, comedy, ETC., is ever a de-
lightful spectacle. 1.-THE Black Crook"
belongs to that class of plays that must
be well presented or they are execrable.
No middle condition Is possible with them.
They are either good shows of their Pc
euliar kind or else they resolve themselves
into variety performances. The girls Of
the ballet were very good. and the dane
ing was greatly appreciated, as was shown
by the several encores from the audience.
Miss Lillian Harper,as Caroline, deserved
dancing of Miles. Kraskee and Micari.
John w. Wored was by long odds the
artists of the board. The Queen of the
Golden Realm, Dorothy Lathrop, was very
portrayed by Vera Wilson. Her foster
mother, Dame Barbara, played by Connie
Thompson, was amusing and merited
much praise. Mr.. Charles E. Graham, as
the steward. was one of the best features
in the spectacle.
The scenery and the effects were adj
mirable. .The Black Crook will be at
the Lyric this afternoon and evening.
Everybody in town where The New
County Fair comes ought to know that
the whoiesomeness of this drama has
been universally recognized. The homely
sentiments of charity, truth and human-
ity ring through the play clear and true.
The fun is all clean and legitimate. We

then, and were are surprised to
now see him now trying to down the

nominee, snow him under by big

will remain true to principle and

he is certainly entitled. We shall

Mr.. Joe Lee, who lives a couple of
miles in the Country on the line
ferry road, had occasion to come to
town this morning to catch the B a.
m. train for Hope. His horse got
scared at some object IN the road,
which looked to Mr.. Lee like a dead
man, and he also detected a smell
like that coming from a charnel
house. He could not get his horse
near it, and he made up his mind to
wake up some of the College hill
people and make an investigation,
He soon had a household aroused
and with a lantern they proceeded
to where the supposed dead man
was lying. The investig alton
proved that some fisherman had
dumped his brush and all fish he
could not sell in the road, and the
brush took on the semblance of d
man while the fish furnished the
odor for much decomposed corpse.
Mr.. Lee told the crowd he would
treat and asked that they say moth
ing. about it to the paper man.

a twinkle in the eye: mot since
