Plenty of Crane Money.

There are few Republicans IN tiie
county who are shouting their heads on
about Foster Voorhees, and declaring that
he is going to win hands down. A lew
have said that they have money win
which to bolster up their IDEAS ABOUT
Voorhees, success. There is no good
reason why any Voorhees, money should
go begging. Sheriff William Heller has q
very substantial bank roll which he Will
place at even money that Elvin w. Crane
will be the next Governor of New Jersey
sheriff Heller will accommodate every
Republican who has Voorhees, money in
sums ranging from 500 to 5000, and even
$4,000 il the money will be produced.
Sheriff Heller has already made several
bets and he is more than anxious TO get
more. If there are any Republicans who
want to bet on the Democratic majority
in this county, Sheriff Heller will also ac-
commodate them. If a sufficient sum is
produced the Sheriff will bet that Hudson
will give 5000 for Crane. Leader Davis
might also be induced to bet, and there is
just possibility that he will bet on moro
than 1900. With straight out and out
vote in the Second Ward, Leader Davis
entertains the belief that Crane will carry
this county by 10000 and possibly more
1t is because Leader Davis is so conti-
dent of sweeping the county by such an
unusual majority that the Republicans
are making such vigorous efforts to work
in repeaters so that they may utilize the
5000 irregularly registered names which
are on the poll books.
Yesterday, at the Robert Davis Associa-
ton, in Mercer street. a bet of $500 even
money was made that Allan L. MeDer-
mott will be the next Senator from this
county, and that his majority will be from
2,0a0 to $500. There was also bet $500, $500,
$500 and s100, three times at even money,
that Crane viii be the next Governor
At the same time there was Det 200 that
Van Wyck will defeat Roosevelt. There
is stil at the club house about $1,000 more
which will be bet in sums to suit takers.
A few days ago Mr.. John Mullins enter
ed the Republican headquarters IN New
ark avenue, and offered to bet $1,000 to
$500 with .the Republican leaders that
Crane will be elected. Mr.. Mullins offer
was not accepted by the men who say
VOORHEES, will win by 10000 at least. Mr.
Mullins has laid $1,000 to $500 that Crane
will be the next Governor.

G. Q. 2. Attempts TO Wiring
Money From Bayonne
Letter Carriers Fail.
EMPLOYEES KNEW THEIR RIGHTS
And Besides, Assistant P. M.
G. Heath Came to Their
Assistance.


It would seem, from recent happenings
in the Bayonne Postoffiee, that the G. O..
P. managers are badly pushed for Doodle
to run their campaign in this county and
that the bottom is out of the barrel. All
the employees of the office, including q
lady clerk, irrespective of political faith,
have been asked to chip In handsomely
to aid in the election of the Republican
candidates. Postmaster Melville poses
as the local leader of the party in Bay
onne and is an earnest and enthusiastic
Republican worker. Not long ago he ap-
preached one of his subordinates and
asked for contribution for the good of
the cause. He also instructed this en-
ploye to go among the carriers and So
licit subscriptions for the same purpose.
but the latter understood their rights
and unanimously ref1sed to be 'stoueh-
ed and the scheme failed
Several days after the strike every
employe at the office received q circular
from the chairman of the Finance Com-
mittee of the Hudson County Republican
Committee. enclosed in an envelope adj
dressed in handwriting that, to say the
least. closely resembied the handwriting
of Postmaster Melville, but mailed at

THE TROOPS FOR CUBA.
They VIII Occupy Southern Camps
Leaving the Country.

WASHINGTON. Nov ). lS98.-The order
which designates the troops to occupy diff
ferent portions Of Cuba has raised ques-
ton as to whether or not it is the inten-
ton of the War Department to have the
troops so direct from their present camps
to Cuba instead Of occupying the southern
winter camps selected some time ago.
Il can be stated that such is not the
intention and that the troops will be
moved from Knoxville and Lexington and
Middietown to these camps very soon
1t is believed that the transfer win be
beneficial to the troops. and that not only
viii they find more salubrious climate,
but that the duty of breaking one camp
and establishing another will be better
for them than remaining in one place.
It will be nearly two months before all
the troops designated for Cuba are sent
to the island 50 there will be quite a
long time for them TO remain in the
Georgia and South Carolina camps.

Journal Lies Nailed,

The "Journal's'' campaign lies are be-
ing nailed with astonishing promptness.
Last night that paper announced that
the McEwan Association had at last
come out for the whole Republican
ticket. Members of the association
brand the statement as a lie The asso-
citation still remains unpledged. There
are great many Democrats in the as
sociation and they are hustling for Crane
and the regular nominees. Pangborn
and Brautigam are distasteful TO the Nc
Ewanites and those gentlemen will be
cut and slashed numerically. Another
Journal lie was thar the association
had pledged its support to Lincoln Bates.
Mr.. Bates is a member of the associa-
ton and is held in high esteem as an
individual. AS a political candidate the
association has no use for him. Support
was not pledged him. The truth is, a
ma ajority OF the members of the assecia-
ton are doing earnest work for all the
regular Democratic nominees.

The day after the receipt Of this circular
there was another interesting piece Of
reading matter that came, this time, to
the hands of the postmaster himself 1t
was from Assistant Postmaster General
Perry S. Heath, and contained the re-
quest to post 1t in a conspicuous place. It
said:-
are hereby notified that they are under
no obligations whatever, by reason OF
their being in the public service, to make
contributions or subscriptions for po-
litical or other purposes, and they will
not be molested or in any way discrimi-
mated against for failure to so subscribe

ing Against Political Assessments. !"
quoted the following from the rules Of
the Civil Service Commission
ssec. II. That no clerk or employe of
any department branch or bureau of the
Executive. Judicial or military or naval
service of the United States shall di-
rectly or indirectly, solicit or receive, or
be in any manner concerned in soliciting
or receiving any assessments, subScrip-
ton or contribution for any political pur-
pose whatever from any officer, clerk or
employe OF the United States.
The other sections Of this law pro-
hibit, among other things. the soliciting

penalty for a violation of any of the
provisions of the law is fine not ex-
ceeding $1,000 or imprisonment for three
years or both.
1t is not known whether the con1muni-
cation was sent from Washington, on
complaint of some employe or not but it
is a fact that the carriers. fully aware
that they are protected by the rules of
the Post Office Department, have refused
to ssput up and the receipts of the Re-

swelled to any great extent by subserip-
tions from the employees at the Bayonne
