The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-11-05

To day we print on our first page the portrait Of the leading
Democrat in the State Of New Jersey, and one Of the ablest and
most devoted leaders Of the party in the eountry-AHan I. Nc
Dermott.
With the picture viii be found a brief recital Of the events in
his career, designed to refresh the memory of the voters of Hud-
son touching the many claims which he has upon their friendship
and support.
Mr.. MeDermott has been in politics for many years, and
there has not been a year in which he has not done the Democratic
party high service. He was the right hand man of Leon Albeit
in all his great undertakings in the interest Of the people. He was
the savior Of Jersey City from bankruptcy. He prevented the
imposition of a Mayor and municipal boards upon the city by
partisan Legislative decree
He has fought the battle OF Democracy all over the State
He has carried the war into Republican counties and secured VIC
tory there again and again. His forceful voice, his brilliant pen,
his busy brain, have always been at the service Of disparity and the
people.
Above all, Mr. McDermott now seeks election to the State
Senate for the opportunities which the post will afford HIM Tor
making war upon Republican corruption and false pretence, upon
corporate rapacity. In his seat at Trenton, he will be the central
figure in the politics Of the State, and hypocrisy and hunbug will
be withered, and jobbery and extravaganza will be crushed and
tramp1ed under foot, through his leadership
He IS above all the man whom the Republicans fear. They
would gladly allow Crane, DAILY and the eleven Hudson Assembly
men to be elected rather than that this terrible champion OF the
people should reach the coign Of vantage to which he aspres for
the sole purpose Of combating them. This is the reason why a
campaign of such extraordinary virulence is being made against
him.
Mr.. MeDermott's election is a certainty; but the larger
his majority, the greater will be the moral force behind him at
Trenton. Every Democrat, every sensible man, who wishes to see
the finances OF New Jersey rescued from thieves and spend
thrills. the grabbing Of corporations checked, and home rule
and popular government prevail, should vote for him on Novem-
Der 8.

from sfhe Jersey City News Of Tues
In the stress Of the great fight for the
Governorship. FOR the seats in Congress
and for the Legislature, the local strpg-
gle for control of the Board of Freehold
ers must not be forgotten. h body
spends t~hgee-quarters Of a million dollars
annually of money taken directly out of
the pockets Of the taxpayers. and it is Of
the utmost Importance that it should be
in control of one party. in order that re-
sponsibidty may be definitely fixed. The
Democracy desires to assume that re-
sponsibility. because it has u~nsaakea .
fidence in the men whom it has aosainat-
ed to make Up the Board.
The Board, as at present constituted.
is too numerous a body to be truly
efficient or economical. II is the creation
Of the Republican Legislature of 1856.
which overthrow the system inaugurated
by the Democracy in 1SS9~-a Board of
twelve mernbers-and created the present
unwieldy Board Of twenty-seven mem
bers. This act was a part of a broad
scheme in which the twelve ward gerry
mander Of jersey City was an element.
Most of these wards were planned to be.
Republican. and several of the
coald be ounted on to elect Republican
representatives. Thus the party Of moral
IDEAS couated upon getting control of
county affairs.
In the fan election Of the same year.,
aided by the sweep for President Me-
Kinley, the party gained a small major
ity in the Board. and it has now been
in control for two years. Every one
knows what sort Of government has re-
made so that the voters have not known
whom to hold responsible. The public
money has been wasted; the county in
situations have been misnaanaged; the
great road, which is the pride Of Hud-
son, has been suffered to run to decay.
There is only one way to remedy these
evils. Turn ont be party which has
prostitutad its power to the meanest de-
vices of ~se1fishness and corruption, and
place in control the Democracy. which
for years administered the affairs of the
county economically and well.
If the Democracy does not fulfill its
pledges. it will be our turn to be kicked
out two years from now, and The
News will be the first to advocate a
change.
But as the situation stands today, the
duty and the interest of voters must cer-
taiRly prompt them to vote for the DEM
ocratIc candidates. A Republican victory
means two years more Of the scandals
which have prevailed for the past two
years.
The names Of the Democratic aspirants
arc at the. cad of this column. In spite
of i strenuous and bitter campaign, no
man has been able to advance i word

HANCOCK'S ABSURD FINANCIAL JUGGIEE.

From arne Jersey CITY News of x@terdayI
In some Of the Republican papers, yesterday, State Comp
troller Hancock published a mass of figures which may serve 70
deceive some people who take things on trust. They will not
impose on anybody for a moment, who knows the elements Of ac-
counts, and who takes the trouble to examine them.
There are four figures which are Of importance in passing
Judgment upon the administration Of the State finances. They
are
Total receipts of the general fund.
Total expenditures from the general fund.
3.-Total expenditures for sextraordinary" purposes.
4.-Total expenditures for the ordinary expenses Of the
State Government.
Mr.. Hancock does not give us one of the figures, nor does
he give us any means of deducing them.
The figures which Mr.. Hancock exhibits suggest what
might be called the Ferdinand Ward style Of bookkeeping This
consists in flashing a seven digit balance upon the victim OF a
bunco operatioA and calling it profit or gain. No debts or
credits are shown to indicate how the result is reached. The
victim must take it on trust.
The victim in the present operation is the people Of the
State OF New Jersey.
THE people ask the Republican party "Iow much did
you spend last year2'
Mr.. Hancock reples-~No matter what we spent. we
have over a million left.
II people ask of the Republican party-@What was the
income Of the State last year,"
MIR. Hancock replies BY ~jumbling up the school fund and
the general fund in an inextricabe tumble, and telling the people
to be thankful because the gross expenditures were only $4,000
more than last year,
NOW if honesty is to count in this election, Mr.. HAN
cocks statement should, alone and unaided, beat his party. No
Republican editor can possibly regard it as anything but a luggle
not even very ingenious-to conceal the truth about the States
accounts. No Republican, who knows bookkeeping, can Tor a
moment be under the hallucination that the figures given out are
straight or honest or explanatory, and any man voting tor the
party which resorts to such tickery makes himself the aecompllce
OF such a crime as frequently induces bank experts TO skip to

Earhardt were present.

lie works appeared before the council
and asked the continuation Of the ap-
preparation of 5000 per month for the

The Board stated that everything was
being run rs economically as possible,

lately in the revenue from water and
lights, but that it would require 5000
per month additional for tho next six
months to meet all obligations and OK
pcnscs. But even at this tho city is
getting of remarkably light, for no
