Dely and Gourley Expound the
Faith From the Same
Platform.

On Tuesday next throughout HUDSON
county there will be something like a
snowstorm Thousands of pieces of white
paper will flutter into thousands of queer
looking glass boxes and when the last OF
these silently falling ballots has reached
its destination the county campaign OF
1889 is at end.
These little pieces will tell an oft told
tale They will announce to the people
of the State and county that by very
large majority the people of Hudson pr
fer a Democratic administration TO Re-
publican. That the Democrats will win
by thousands even the most thiek-headed
and bigoted Republican doesn't deny. 1t
is only a question, 'By how many?"
Those who have watched the progress
of the campaign and have given ear to the
opinions of the masses, are sanguine
about a big victory for the Democratic
party. They have not hastily nor super
ficially reached that conclusion, but have
studied the causes of the present condition
of municipal and county affairs, and there
was only one outlook and that exceedingly
bright. The views of prominent men in
the Democratic party confirm this opinion
and while cautious in phrophesying be-
fore they know these men unhesitating-
ly say a very large majority for the
Democratic party on election day. One
of those referred to, who has an excellent
opportunity for judging of results, is his
Honor Milyor Edward Hoos, whose wise
administration viii be an important factor
in the victory, and this is what he said
this morning to a News representative:
platforms of political parties are easily
made; but the promises given are not
always kept. I am happy to state that
the pledges made by me on Democratic
platforms upon which was elected and
reelected have been kept and all prom
ises so far as lay in my power have been
fulfilled A contract for a new supply
of pure and wholesome water was en-
tered into with practically no opposition
from the people; many public buildings
have been erected and others are in pro-
cess OF erection or contemplated for the
near future; n ny public Improvements
are being and have been made; many
good measures to the interests of the
public have been adopted and carried out.
Judging by present signs 1t seems to
be the will of the people that the Demo-
cratic party shall continue to enjoy and
merit their confidence not only in the
City Ddt d1oO III tiiC SO4HtJ c~iAo oltNlC
government. The candidates submitted by
the Democratic party for the coming
election commend themselves without ex-
ception to the voters and have no rea-
son to believe otherwise than that the
entire ticket, from top to bottom, will
be elected by majority Of from eight to
ten thousand The candidates for the
county offices are well known men and
feel sure will fill their respective po-
sitions with dignity and ability to the
satisfaction Of all. Many of the Assem-
bly, candidates have served in the Legis-
Iature before and have made good rec
ord and the other members of that ticket
are well known men and will render
good account of themselves in the Legis-
lature and will do their utmost to give
us equal taxation, which must and viii
eventually come to Hudson county. In
their efforts to secure this simple justice
for our county both great political par
ties should join hands. So far as carry
Ing the State is concerned. ! deem the
outlook for the Democracy very favor-
