Mayor Pagan next presented Senator
William d. DAILY, who got the same hearty
for the past Six years he said, ''and am

few figures and show you the manner IN
Republican party charged the Democratic
party with extravaganza. There IS notn-
ing in the conduct of public affairs that
has not been charged up against us. Be
cause we happened to spend Sl,SVo,090 they
said that we were ex~travagant During
the first year that the Republicans had
over 81. 500. 900. After war was declared
/ introduced a joint resolution providing
that an emergency fund of S200,t00 be es-
tablished so as to help out our soldier and
sailor boys. The money was not appro-
priated because there wasn't any money
in the State Treasury. Several OF olr
owed them by the State as yet The Re-
publicans would not appropriate the mon
ely for fear that some credit might come
to the Democratic party.
81 was in Taylor's Opera House. in
Trenton, on the day of Governor Griggs
inauguration. | heard his ~naugura adj
dress, some of the words of which are
ringing in my ears yet. | will repeat to
you a sentence which Mr.. Griggs uttered.
He said, I'm speaking of the Democratic
party, where they have been excessive iet
us be moderate. Now that was a well
rounded sentence. The people at last be-
lieved there had come a man that could
give government such as they had never
seen before. His words had hardly died
out when he appointed to an office a no.
torious lobbyist and an allyso Mr.. Sew
ell of the Pennsylvania Railroad, Mr..
Bette Of Camden. You will find that
man at Trenton any time, not for honor,
but to force on the statute books laws
which are against the interests of the
people. Do you imagine that such work
reflects credit on the Republican party of
the State? Mr.. Rel of Newark, a COM
experience and a friend of organized la
Dor, was thought to be the man who
would be appointed factory inspector OF
the State, but, instead, Governor Griggs
appointed Senator Ward of Salem county,
d man who was incompetent in every
way. He was put there by his boss. lie
may know how to hoe, but he doesn't
know anything about factories. Governor
voorhees, appointed Mr.. Stainsby of
Newark to an office instead of Mr.. Cho-
pin of the D., L. & w. r. r., a repre-
sentative of $4,000 railroad employees. The
only work known to have been performed
by Mr. Stainsbee is drawing his salary as
a politician in Newark.
81 want to say that if / go to Congress
/ will vote for a dollar worth one undred
cents the world over. | will vote for an
honest dollar as we'll as Mr.. Pangbofa.
This State belongs to the Democrats
PrioF to three years ago the Democratic
party gave good government. What mas
the Republican party done to warrant
asking your support again. They gave us
three Republican Governors in one year,
that's about the only thing they have
done"
Mr.. Daily was followed by ex-State SEN
ator William S. Stuhr, who made a short
address calling upon the Democrats to
out upon election day and restore
the State to the Democratic party. Mayor
Pagan, at the conclusion of Mr.. Stuhr's
speech. declared the meeting at an end.
After the meeting Mayor Pagan, Rob-
ert Davis. Senator Daily and a large party
of politicians went to Meyers Hotel, at
Third and Hudson streets, where a sup
per was served, which lasted until the
wee sma hours of the morning.
