"WE WERE UNPREPARED.~
Secretary Alger ON Our Condition on
the Declaration of War

Secretary Alger ON Our Condition ON
the Declaration of War.
Secretary Alger has made statement
In the New York Herald in response to re.
cent criticisms against the army, in which
he says:
when war was declared we were I'M
prepared. yet obstacles almost insurmount-
able have been overcome. do not believe
history records an instance where SO much
has been done in a military campaign OF
this magnitude in the brief time that has
elapsed since hoStilities began. challenge
the records on this point.
THE men having the most to say against
our work in organizing the army are
fartherest from the truth, either through
willful disregard Of facts or through ig-
norance. We are willing to be judged by
what we have accomplished in preparing
our armies for war.
1T Is evident that the people have been
misinformed as to what we are doing To
enlighten them I have directed the heads
of the departments and bureaus to furnish
me with their reports Of what has been
done up to date. When the people have
learned the actual condition Of affairs and
realize what an enormous task we have
performed in the brief time allowed us by
the circumstances of war, they will be en-
tirely satisfied. TIE critics will be answer
ed and the enemies of our army will have
no ground to stand on. I don't believe
there was ever a nation on earth that at
tempted to embark in a war of such mag
nitude while so utterly unprovided with
everything necessary for a campaign. Now
we have plenty OF arms, ammunition of all
kinds. and plenty Of smokeless powder, too
with the contracts for uniforms all let and
partly filled"

Tuesday recorded the most peaceful
charter election that Morristown has
seen for years. The forces Of darkness
dearly love rainy election day, and
they prevailed By noon not one fifth of
the voters had visited the polls and the
entire vote of the day was a bare two
thirds of the registration ,788 ballots
out of total list of 2,546. The chilling
apathy of the Republicans, combined
with the button-hole. orgie and cash can
vas of Democratic workers. brought
victory to the Democratic banner, which
elected every candidate for the first time
in many years. E. A. Quayle was
chosen Mayor for the third successive
term of two years by total majority of
354, and Eugene S. Burke, John T. Lines,
John n ConkIing and Harrie A. Free
man, representing the four wards re-
spectively, were elected to the Board of
Aldermen by majorities given below,
making the political complexion of that
body for the next year, including the
Mayor, Democratic by 6 to 3. The new
members will be sworn into Office within
a week. Retiring members are Emile
Hurting, Edward A. Fleury and Eugene
Carrell; reelected. Fl. A. Freeman.
Hold over members are Charles G.. Van

Government Not Anxious About Dewey
Washington, May 6-12.:

Washington, May 6-12.32.
Chronicle, Morristown:
Nothing has yet been received
directly from Admiral Dewey, but
no alarm about him and his feet is
felt at the Navy Department. It
is an unwritten law in military and
naval circles that when a comman-
der has task to perform and COM
munication with headquarters for
any reason is cut off no attempt
to resume communication is ever
made until after the commander
has performed his task to his own
complete satisfaction.
By this custom timorous or mis-
informed officials in the rear are
prevented from hampering the ac-
tion of the Commander at the front.
No doubt is felt as to the complete
ness of Dewey's victory. Every
body here believes that he is in
possession of Manila, which of course
means of the Philippines. The
question mostly discussed now there
fore is what shall be done with the
Islands at the close of the war. The
feeling is growing in the Senate

May 6, 1898, 70 o'clock M. !
"The Camp is in fine condition.
The soldiers are very comfortable
and not disposed to find fault. Out
of over 5000 men, only two are on
the sick list this morning, which,
when it is borne in mind that we
have had four days of almost con
tinuous rain, tells its own story.
The State Military Board was some
what disposed to criticise the care
fnl preparations which were made
at the Camp before | ordered the
mobilizing Of the militia here.
| had in mind the health and com
fort of our soldiers, hence every
preparation was made for their re-
ception; after all | was the first
Governor to wire the War Depart
ment that "the New Jersey State
quota was in Camp, fully equipp-
ed, and waiting for orders |
made a personal inspection of the
camp yesterday and was highly
gratifed with the bearing of
our troops. No finer body of
men will respond to President
McKinley's call. A contrast be-
tween our boys comfortably quart
cred here and the New York troops
modified at Hampstead in the
rain and mud, without, in many in
stances. even ordinary camp
comforts, will show that the prep
arations were wise. Company A
of the First Regiment of Newark,
Col. Campbell, was mustered into
the United States service at 1870
this morning only two were re-
jected, so the company has its full
complement. The examinations
and mastering will continue right
along. The Morris County boys
are soldiers every inch, and their
townsmen and fellow residents of
the county have right to be just
ly proud of them.'

When the votes were counted in the
evening the Democrats at once built a
bonfire down at the Park; when it
burned low organized circus and pro-
ceeded to parade. Headed by a blazing
broom, a has been fife and bottomless
boiler, they tramped about the town,
halting long enough to jeer at the Rev.
S. z. Batten and also for free serenade
before the homes of each of the vic
torious. But they failed to get any
speeches or even a sight of those they
had worked" for, save that the "faith-
ful'' John Wright made brief address,
fourishing live Plymouth Rock rooster
by way of emphasis. So they got mad,
and talked plain. About 1890 the Hon.
Thomas j. happened along and was
urged to make speech. With great re-
luctancy he mounted the front step Of
the Babbatt building and proceeded to
comment on the victory. Then the
crowd at the opposite corner began to
Isiolly." The Honorable could not stand
it. He got mad and talked back. Then
he had to stop. He went home. His
friends took up the case and there were
warm words; later there was singing,
more bonfire, tin boiler, orgies and other
things, and through it all the battle cry
was sounded Hurrah for Fennell."
