Hudson and Grand streets, and there was
an unusually large attendance. Before
political matters were discussed the. list
of officers for the annual outing on
Thanksgiving Day was completed by the
election Of Third Lieutenant Reilly and
Fourth sI.Ieutenant VIM Crossett.
The guards viii assemble at No. 1856
York street tonight to take part in this
evenings Democratic parade, and it is
expected that there viii be a very strong
representation in line. The utmost en-
thusiasm is being shown in the Demo-
cratic ticket That is shown by ]. j.
Cullen. who is an old New York political
worker, fully equipped in party work and
a very excellent specimen of the hustling
Democrat, who knows no rest until his

pANeBoRA INTERRUPTED.
Democrats Having Nothing Else to
Do Went to Hear Vim.

A big effort was made by the Republi-
cans Saturday night 10 offset the great
mass meetings of the Democratic party
in the Twelfth Ward. A parade was M
augurated and a meeting held at Prass-
er's Central Hall, and as nothing else of
moment was going on in that vicinity
quite crowd gathered to see the pyro-
technic display. Speeches were made by
E. M. limerick, of Paterson: Henry Brau-
stigam, Cresswell Mclaughlin and some
of the Assembly and Freebooter candi-
dates. The parade and meeting were held
under the auspices of the Fremont Club
Many Democrats attended the meeting,
and one of them interrupted Major Pang-
born The interruption created but little
excitement.
In fact, while the attendance aV all the
Democratic meetings in the Hudson City
section have been greater than the at
tendance at the Republican meetings,
those Of both parties. have listened at
tentively to the speakers. and all the
meetings have been conducted in a most
orderly manner. The difference in the
size Of the meetings and enthusiasm
manifested in favor of the Demecratlc
candidates, indicate clearly that both the
Eleventh ana Twelfth Wards may be re-
lied upon TO pile up a good Democratic
majority for the entire ticket.

Democracy and the Schools.

The State Democratic Committee has
issued the following document, which is
brimful of INTEREST,"
s4To Friends of the Public Schools
Some principles of popular education
that Democrats believe in.
.1-Home Rslle-Democrats are oppOs-
ed to Western men of tarnished reputa-4
tion as superintendent of New Jersey
Public Schools. Democrats favor
proper distributions of authority, of re-
teachers of the public schools; that each
principal shall be the recognized and re-
sponsible head of his school, and that
each teacher shall be the recognized and
responsible head of his class.
.2-Democrats are opposed to discount
ing or disqualifying teachers licenses.
Successful teaching and school expert
enee-not examina ations-s should entitle
teachers to promotion and to advanced
pay
';3-EquaI Rights-Democrats believe
that equal character, capacity, expert.
ence and service entitle men and women.
equally to the honors and emoluments of
the profession of teaching.
4.-Democrats believe that teaching is
a dignified profession worthy of the
highest respect, and that the teachers of
American children should not be subject
ed to factory rules.
e5.-Democrats favor honest inyestfga-
tiOn of the character and conduct Of any
principal charged with improper deport-
ment toward women teachers Among
teachers and pupils are our daughters
and our. sisters; we are bound to pros
tect their honor.
'6-Democrats believe in common
school education-not in educational
fads
s.7.-Democrats believe that the schools
belong to the people; the control of the
schools must remain with the people,

INJURY OFF TO PRISON.
HandcuiEed to Visczslki One of the
Neanest of fThieves.

Peter H. Mulry. the former proprietor
of that notorious den Of vice, in Coles
street, known as "The Wrinkle, started
for Trenton this morning to begin his
term of three years in State Prison. He
was coupled with a pair of handouts to
Stephen Visozski, the boarding house
thief who stole the contents of a child $
savings bank, three rings, a chain and
some other jewelry. from Mrs Nellie
Kubina's house in Bayonne, and who is
also to serve three years In State Pris-
on. The prisoners were escorted to Tren-
ton by Deputy Sheriff Frank Hague.
Mulry was very much depressed and had
lost that clipper air which he carried
all through his trial. His counsel had
prepared the papers in a writ of error
and he had confidently expected to be re-
leased on bail, but Notwithstanding the
strenuous efforts of his relatives and
friends, nobody could be found willing to
risk $4,000 on him.
Heretofore it has been the practice to
permit a prisoner to remain in tie Coun-
" Jail pending the decision df writ
of error by the Supreme Court, but now
the prisoner is taken to State Prison and
awaits the decision while serving his
term. Mulry will have nearly year
served by the time the Court decides his
writ of error
