TRUSTWORTHY object.
Suggestion for a Popular Sub
scription to Aid the
Evening Journal"
NC. 10 EAST 34TH ST.,
BAYoNNE, May q, 's7.

To the Editor Of 1.-The Jersey City
News
Enclosed please find 81 to start a popu-
lar subscription for a fund with which
to buy the Evening Journal" a new
editor or send the old one to night school.
On Monday night the journal la
mented the fact that prosperity was be-
ing delayed, and attributed that condi-
ton to the Democratic majority in the
United States Senate. This was a little
too much for me, and wrote the editor
Of that representative sheet of 9TH party
of moral ideas and intelligence for an
explanation, and the following is his re-
ply in tonight's issue
Mr., w. +. starrett of Bayonne writes
to the Evening Journal to ask how
there is a Demaoeratic majority in the
thlrty-three Senators who claim to be
Democrats, but there are twelve Popu-
lists and silver Republicans who act
majority by voting with them. The
Democrats and minor species are con
cinded in a single group, and designated
W LIE HdHIe VI the majority because
the group has a common purpose, and
that purpose Is the policy of the Demo-
cratic party. So .fas as the tariff and
Republican. principles are concerned, the
opposition Is Democratic. The bulk of it
is Democratic by name and the allies or
subdivisions cooperating with the Dem
ocrats and acting under Democratic di-
%rection, form the Democratic strength.
The Senate is divided into opposing
forces. One is Republican, the other is
Democratic.
This is awful; and, if Hudson county
must have the Journal let's do what
we can to patch it up.
Trusting that the fund may grow rap
idly, believe me.
Yours truly.
w. r. STARRETT.
