Mr.. Tennant then read the following

Resolved. That the Democrats of the
Bergen section of Jersey City, IN mass

all the Democratic candidates nominated

/! burst Of cheering. When it subsided he
| said
+, cerely thank you for this cordial reception
| and / wish to say that when | heard your
praise in introducing me my mind revert

1 you had the opportunity to advance my
! claims. Your remarks then We're as
I cheerful and pleasant and those now
Il have noticed that the enemy. points

Of New Jersey. tCheers and cries OF
Three years ago when the present Re-

| have spent $780, GOO to 100000 a year more
| than any Democratic administration ever
| spent (Applause.} Mind. while ] don't
say they are wasting dollar it is fair 30
say that the charges against the Demo-
/ Gratis are unfounded and unwarranted.
II wish, continued the speaker, ito
call your attention to legislation during
! Democratic administration. For nine
/ consecutive terms and twenty-seven con-
seeutive years. the Gubernatorial chair
| has been occupied by a Democratic Gov
ernor and the Democratic history Of the
| State is the history of New Jerseys finan-
! cial prosperity. Joel Parker (cheers)
! when he became Governor advised laws
| to create sinking funds. They were pass
! ed and it was due to that effort that an
attempt was made to wipe olit the State
debt. Under Governor Randolph an act
| was passed providing that the money
| from the sale of riparian lands should be
| applied to State funds. And now we come
| to Leon Albeit (cheers). It Is well known
agement that aggregate capital would not

Because Of Parker, Randolph and Abb

| financial condition tcheers)- What laws

Mr. Crane then devoted some time to his
own cause. He said that some had called
4 him a stranger, but he had been before
the attack made against him in Essex
| that he was no friend of labor by citing
| a number of bills introduced in the Leg
islature in 1857. when he sat as member,
and on all of them which directly or in
/ directly were for the benefit of the labor
ing classes he voted for their passage.
Not a measure IN Inc interest Ol the peo-
pie came up but he endorsed it.

| has demonstrated repeatedly his antagon-

The next speaker introduced was Sena-

highly gratified at the fattering reception
offered to him.
ssPangborn can't lick you even if he
! licked Dewey" yelled an enthusiast.
You must elect me-" said Mr.. DAILY and
a chorus of I'VE will was the response.
Mr.. Daily began with general review
of the fight in which he said
IN this campaign you will be called
upon to consider some Important QueS-
| tions and pass upon them at the polls.
Let your action be deliberate and do not
be misled by the noisy senseless clamoT
| of the Republican press, from the vital
i issues of this campaign. am gratified
| that upon the opening of this fight the
grand old Democratic party of New Jer-
sey is arrayed against Its. trust fostering
| and hypocritical enemy in solid united
| phalarx. Everywhere you see the Dem
| ocracy in harmonious accord upon all
| vital issues. (Cheers.)
! We demand tnat the Republican party
/ shall answer for Its dilatory attitude
/ toward poor struggling Cuba and the
horrors prepetrated there as revealed by
