The first speaker introduced was Sem
ator William D. Daily. He said:-'"This
is a time when every Democrat should
stand true to his colors. The Democratic
party brought this State TO state of
grandeur and prosperity. It has been
placed as one Of the foremost States of
the Union. No matter what obstacle it
encounters the party stands true to its
principles.
The Democratic State Committee, of
which am member, has suggested that
this is a proper time to go before the peo-
pie On State affairs. That committee,
through a lengthy report published in To-
cal and other papers throughout the State
has exposed that which has made up the
most outrageous administrations tnat
has ever disEraced a State. The. nefar-
ious doings of Republican administra,
ton of almost four years have been placed
effort to deny any of the charges. No
Republican newspaper has dared to take
up the cudgel of defense. They have ac-
ifially pleaded guilty for their party.
When the Republican party assumed
control of the State the annual expense
was 81. $4,000. In less than four years the
crest e5 The the Sase of ofs
half a million of dollars has got to be
raised from you tax payers. One OF the
el.acted by the Republicans of last year
was the adoption of q measure providing
for the institution of a museum at the
Sate h9uSe n; voted agaass tne appro Pre-
State debt has increased in four years
from $40, 900 to $50, ,000, coo. In Essex coun-
ty the debt has been increased 3, l,2vo,Vo
Not one Republican newspaper has dared
to raise its voice in protest OF this extrav-
agance. There were two, however. the
Newark Times and the Newark sunday "a
claims of the Democratic State Committee
are correct
IN connection with this increase Of
Stale debt let me say that could
never understand why the Republican
party desired to spend $1,000 to establish
a museum. said l would vote for the
extravagance, If they would place in that
museum the busts of Garret A. Hobart,
John w. Griggs and SeweH as horrible
examples of extravagance of the past. L
remember when the cyclers of this State
wanted q bill passed compelling railroads
to carry bicycles as baggage, the Bill was
reG5fftQ 10 lu6 1Oluliiltttt On Eke1dlrodoS
and Canals, and there it died.
The Republican party promised to give
yof1 klDcai taxation, but not one hand has
been raised in that direction. Assembly
narf Queen, from Hudson, introduced such
afbild but 1t was sent TO the graveyard
and vas never Tesurrected.o
Sellaior DAILY was loudly applauded. He
then ia Introduced Mr.. John Wahl Queen,
who bald -:
The Republican papers claim that the
Republicans have passed an equal taxa
tion bill but have failed to find it. They
have neglected that promise to the people,
as hey have all others. It fell to me, a.
Dehpcratic member, to introduce a bill
foHequal taxation. That bill was referred
toslhe committee, and it remained there.
ItE was never reported. That sharp,
sArewd political trickster who occupied
tie Gubernatorial chair had willed its0th-
@EIse / know of an instance-yes. a
dozen instances-where measures having
4 tinge Of equal taxation about them went
TO the graveyard. = v
and Assembly Candidates John J. Mar
