WAvERLY FAIR REPORTS.
State Agricultural Society Holds Its
Quarterly Meeting.

Especial to "The Jersey City News."j
NEWARK, Oct. 20. 1S9S.-The first quar-
| terly meeting Of the directors Of the
New Jersey State Agricultural Society
since the Waverly Fair last September,
was held in Davis's parlors yesterday
afternoons. The report OF Treasurer Wilt
lam A. Clark, of Elizabeth, showed the
receipts, so far, to be, in round numbers,
S26,0 900, and the expense So, 900. The re-
port submitted today was preliminary.
OF the expenses, SIS, 600 was paid out in
premiums and Sc, 5s2 was expended for the
Improvement of the grounds. During the
year part of the property destroyed by
fire had to be replaced.
President William L. Tompkins, in re-
viewing the fair, said that the date was
too early to insure success. When the as
| ISOLATION decided to open the fair on
Labor Day, he said, the schools opened on
| September /. Now they do not open until
! September Is, and many who generally
patronized the fair are still spending their
vacations when the fair is held. He be-
lieved, he said. that also accounted for
the absence of the usual number of car
| riages and other vehicles, a feature of
Waverly in years gone by.
Labor Day. five years ago, he added,
| furnished few attractions. whereas now
| there were attractions without number on
| that day. The trolley, too, he declared,
| had injured the fair A few years ago
| Mr.. Tompkins explained. the largest part
of the receipts came from Pennsylvania
Railroad admissions and from thirty
| Now. he said, the farmer from thirty
miles distant can come to the fair in troll
la- cars.
Elisha b. Gaddis commended Mr..
Tonapkins' address and said that the city
Of Newark failed to take enough inter-
esf IN the fair. Henry j, Trick, Of Bur-
| lington: Colonel Morrell, of Elizabeth, and
| Joseph Colyer, of this city, made address
| Is and ira Kilburn told some funny stor-
| les at the dinner which followed the BUSH
ness meeting.

only conspicuous Democrat who dad 50.
The fact is almost every conspicuous
Democrat in the state stood in the same
position. only the accident Of Mr.. McDer-
motifs previous Congressional candidacy
attracting more attention to him than TO
the others. The News goes on to say
that s.his stand then makes it strange 70
think that this year he and that sturdy
champion of free silver, William 2. Daily.
should be running on the same Democrat
ic ticket.
This is grossly disingenuous. The New
ark News" knows perfectly well that
William D. DAILY is not a champion OF free
silver, sturdy or any other way. In the
Chicago Convention, he voted against free
silver on every vote, with the rest Of the
New Jersey delegation. Throughout the
campaign he expressly made it clear that
his own views were opposed to silver
but his conception of loyalty to party-a
wrong conception, we think, but hat is
aside from the present issue-made him
subordinate his own views to the vote Of
the majority of the delegates. who made
up the National Convention.
There is nothing whatever strange
about the presence of Daily and McDer-
mott on the same platform and the same
ticket. They are both loyal Democrats,
devoted to the fundamental principles OF
the party and coinciding in opinion on
twenty topics where they differ on one.
That there is room on the Democratic
platform for both is the best proof that
the party stands for personal liberty OF
thought and freedom of action. The two
have not been personally friendly in the
past, and probably they do not love each
other specially today. yet each is work
ing to elect the other with as much ear
nestness as he is laboring for himself
This, it appears to us, is a display Of gem
erosity and public spirit which should
elicit praise and admiration from a.
..high toned publication like our Newark
namesake, and not dlsparaging remarks
and hostile innuendos.
Anyway the unjust and INSCRIPTIONS
attacks of hostile papers will not injure
either man as a candidate in Hudson.
Both are appreciated here for their abili-
ties, their principles, the public service
+haxr have dime and above all. for the
enemies they have made.

East Jersey Monopoly Tactics.

While our city officials hesitate about
taking the municipality out OF the
clutches of the East jersey Water Com
pany, Newark is having a new struggle
with that wicked monopoly over the full
flment of the contract which it made
some years ago for a new water supply
to be turned over to the city in 1900. 1t
has been discovered hat the company
was actually mixing the Pequannock wa
ter, before delivery, with fluid mud taken
from the Passaic at Belleville. Perhaps,
by the way, the. recent badness Of the
water delivered to Jersey City may be
due to the same cause.
The course of the East Jersey Water
Company towards Newark is a lesson to
us. we can gather from it what we
have to expect if we fail to extricate our
selves from its clutches. The company
having made one sort of a bargain, re-
sorts to all sorts of tricks and device, to
compulsion when occasion offers, to make
the Newark officials abandon the peoples
rights and modify the terms of the bar
gain to the c~ompany's advantage. 1t has
been unwilling to sell the city a supple
mental supply of water on the few days
when that supply is needed. hoping thus
to force it to great concessions to obtain
such a supply. 1t seemingly intends to
endeavor to withhold from the city the ad-
ditional reservoir at Canistear, built When
it was clear that without it there would
be no assurance of a perpetual 500 COO
gallon daily supply. It has had to be
watched and prodded continually.
Its attitude toward Jersey City has been
much milder and more considerable. but
this is only because the spectre of compe-
tition keeps it in awe. Once remove the
prospect Of another company securing the
contract for a permanent supply, and the
East Jersey will quickly apply hydraulic
pressure to the City Hall officials, and the
people will find themselves pretty badly
squeezed.

The State Gazette of Trenton, under
the guidance of the peculiar genius that
now fills its editorial columns, has come
to be the comic paper of its party and
people read it for the same reason they
do Puck and 'Life'-to obtain a good
laugh. The latest funny thing it has had
was an article in which it Rugged itself
because that Democratic newspaper"
the Newark Evening News supported
Foster Voorhees,.
This is the first time on record that the
Newark News has ever been accused of
being a Democratic newspaper. True it
supported Grover Cleveland in 1892, but,
: whatever good it did then, it quickly UNI
did by joining in the calamity howl which
the Republican papers started the day
after the election.
Equally as funny is the count in an
untrue bill which the Gazette alone, by
itself, has found against the Democratic
party
Why did they gerrymander the State by
dividing it into ~inequitable Assembly dis
tricts, regardless either of territory or
population?
Did the editor of the Gazette" ever
hear Of that most shameful gerrymander
of Hudson county by a Republican Legis-
lature whereby was created the famous
Hudson Horseshoe which ran all
around Jersey City, placing the great ma
jority of the Democratic voters in one
district so that the majority of Demo-
cratic Hudson's representatives in the AS
sembly were Republicans.
Nothing the Democrats ever did in APP
%portioning the State can equal the in
Equity or dishonesty of that famous Re
publican ~gerrynnander of Hudson County.
If the p-oetico-editorial genius from
Red Dog, Iowa, and Cargo, N. D.. could
be induced to abstain for a day or tive
from his cyelonic occupation of e~lectina
Foster nj. Voorhees, Governor of New
Jersey, and would use the time to post
himself on the political history Of the
State in which he is a carpet Dagger, he
would not continually make himself SC
ridiculous.

Mayor Hoos, the members Of the Boards
of Finance and Education, Corporation
Counsel McDermott and City Sup~erinten-
dent Fl. Snyder discussed, yesterday at
