TIE DIVIDED SMITHS.
Canvass on b Silvsr and Gold Cues.
fion at Their Recent Meeting.

y AttG& tOttN- A-
TRENTON, Sept, /. 1s9e.-"How will
the Smiths vote this year, was a cues
ton which many persons asked at the
great picnic of the Smith family at Pea
pack last Wednesday. Most persons con-
tented themselves with simply wondering,
but Freebooter Fillmore Condit. of New
ark, set about finding the answer in a
methodical way. As an indication OF how
the great family is afiliated politically
the result of his canvass is interesting.
There were some six thousand persons
at the Smith picnic, of whom about
twelve hundred were voters. Probably
two-thirds OF the people came from near
by points in Somerset county. IN the
hurry and hustle of arrival and the joy
of greeting matters political were rele-
gated by the Smiths to the background
on the morning of the picnic day. But
after a good meal the Smiths naturally
discussed affairs in general and natur-
ally the burden of their talk was politics.
1t was not long before the old orchard
political school, and the discussion varied
from short debates to elaborate speeches
by adherents of Republicantsm and
Democracy. Silver arguments and gold
arguments were hurled back and forward
and the whole assemblage boiled and
seethed like a caIdron.
Fletcher life we're for 16 to 1. Betcher
life the Smiths will go for Bryan
1t was a fat, jolly-looking farmer Smith
who said this and 1t started Mr.. Condit
TO thinking. If the Smiths of this country
meant to go for either Bryan or Mckinley
with any marked degree of unanimity,
why there would be no show at all for the
one who was not favored by their votes.
Sc Mr.. Condit. armed with paper and
| pencil. started out to pick up as many
straws as possible In order to ascertain
the quarter from whence the Smith poll

Democrats. or goid-Smiths and silver
Smiths, as they were dubbed. but Mr..
Condit declined all offers and made his
| way at random through the crowd asking
Fall the men he met how they would vote.
He had only an hour to do the job In,
and in that time saw 237 men. OF these

FATHER HOLLAND DEAF.
Former Pastor ofst. Joseph,s Church
Dies IN Newark.

Rev. Father Michael J. Holland,
formerly of St. Jcseph's R. c. Church.
this city, died last night in the rectory
Of st. Columba's Church, Newark. where
he was pastor. The cause of death was
lung trouble, from which he has suffered
about a year.
He was born in Newark in the Eighth
ward. The greater part of his life and SER
vice in the priesthood was spent in New
ark, and he has long been prominently
identified with the Catholic work of New
Jersey. In Trenton and Jersey City he
had his first charges, st. Joseph,s being
his Jersey City parish. Father Hollands
services to the poor were Invaluable. In
the smallpox and other epidemics to
which Newark has been subjected he ex-
posed himself fearlessly.

Ar oath BAL v~lolatien ofthe rranshi.e

It is announced that the silverites. hav-
Ing control of the Democratic City Com
m9ttee at Trenton, propose to exact an
oath binding voters to support Bryan and
Sewall before permitting them to vote at
the primaries. This is certainly as wick
ed an abuse of power as has ever been
heard OF in this or any other State. It
may not be easy to find a statute under
which those guilty of it may be indicted
and punished, but it is certainly at vari-
ance with the entire spirit of our cleo
ton laws. and a statute should he fran
ed to cover the case by the next Lesisia-
1ure.
The usual test applied atsprimary cleo
tions is the vote cast at he last preced-
ing election. This is all that can rea-
sonably be required. To propose to a
CITIZEN an oath binding his action in the
future is an abuse so obvious that only
a mar stupid enough to be a silverite
could tolerate it. The campaign has vet
many weeks to run. and there is going
to be much argument on both sides. pre-
sumably with a view to influencing votes,
is the use of It. II it is COM
petent for a lot Of rinesters to now pro
pose an oath to voters which will con-
troll their action in spite of any future
light that they may recsivs.

The BLACK hating Letter PARTY.

The evil character Of the kicking move
rnent. organized last evening in Hoboker
BY Tom Jacob and Dan Lewis. was best
illustrated by the letter which was read,
assailing Mr.. Hellers character and rec
ord.
II was cowardly because it was anony-
NOUS; it was bl~ackguardly because
IN all main allegations it was I'M
true; it was malicious and selfish
BECAUSE was designed TO injure one
Individual for the advantage of another.
1T was traitorous because it was calcu-
lated 10 divide the Democracy where II
might be united, and to bring defeat on
it where victory could easily be won by
united effort.
There Is no direct evidence tina Frank
Ksmmerly authorized the preparation OF
this infamous document It is to be
hoped that he has too much manhood for
such an act. But. If he did not. he owes
a serious duty to the party. and not only
TO the party hui to himself. He should
come out and repudiate the vie act with
all the energy he can command de-
nounce its author or authors in the
terms they deserve.
THE News" has no candidate for the
Shrievalty. 1t never has a candidate for
any office until the nomination is made
by the party. But It is vigorously OPP
posed to any candidate whose interests
are promoted by that form of political
blackmail which consists in threats of
newspaper Exposure" after the nominal
tion is made. II any paper or any man
knows good reason why any candidate
SHOULD not be named for office. the time
to make 1t known is before the nomina-
tion is made. not in the form of cowardly,
slzulking, anonymous epistles, but in
plain open and above board assertion
backed up by the personality of the man
who makes the charges. The postpone
ment of such attacks until after the
neminat,ons are made is opposed to the
public interest and -treacherous to the
party.
Over and above the light thrown upon

CALIFORNIA. FOR BRYAN.
Dr. Hubbard Has Made Careful Study
 and Is Satisfied.

Dr. w. w. Hubbard returned this morning from a six weeks touring through California, and he has been over 5000 inhabitants excepting Fres- no, and remained in each town from three to five days. During all of the time he has been dfligent in obtaining all the information he could showing the feeling of Californians on the ques- tion of finance now agitating the coun- try. He is not interested from a po- litical standpoint, but out of simple curiosity he tried to learn how the peo- pie generally stood on the subject of free coinage.
 In all of these towns he says that the trend was all in the direction of silver, by a good sized percentage. The people are studying the question and nearly everybody in California knows what 16 to 1 means.
 On the trains going in either direc- tion ballots are constantly being taken and the vote is almost invariably in favor of Bryan. On the train last Wednesday going westward on the Southern Pacific the vote stood 26 to 6 in favor of Bryan, and the train con- ing in Last night showed a vote of IT to 12 in favor of Bryan. The doctor made inquiries and was told that the vote would stand in about the same ratio on these trains five days out of seven in favor of Bryan
 From a careful observation, study, and persistent inquiry Dr. Hubbard Is confident that California will give Bryan anywhere from 10000 to 15, ,OOO majority, and he will be very much surprised if anything should happen to change the figures
 The doctor has enjoyed his outing, and returns feeling strong, healthy and able to stand anything in the shape of heat still remaining for the season.
