ballot boxes which were piled up IN one
corner. The Jury is said to have some
information that there was crooked work
in the Fourth ward at the election last

The Democratic party of Hudson

by reafirms its devotion to and faith
in democratic principles as heretofore
promulgated, and we commit ourselves
and our candidates to continued zeal
in furthering and upholaing those

80 Recovery to the people of Hudson
County of the miles Of valuable water
front taken by corporations under
reckless and careless Republican ad-
ministration
We call attention of the citizens Of
Hudson county to the able and un-
firing efforts of Democratic represen-
tatives from this county in the Senate

tions; efforts which failed of success
because of the opposition of the Re
publican majority in both branches of
the Legislature
The brilliant record of the Demo-
cratic representatives of this county in
the last session of the Legislature
merits the commentator of all. They
were energetic and indefatigable in
their efforts to obtain legislation en-
suring to the people OF this county
and State honest and economical adj
ninistration of municipal and State
affairs
The interest shown by. them in the
subjects of equal taxation and reform
of county governments. and also in
matters affecting the public school eys-
tenn, is a guarantee of future success

representatives. successful in spite Of
Republican opposition and misrule.

1t is some satisfaction to see that the
young Republicans of the First Ward
have the grace to lie themselves out Of
the disgraceful position into which their
capers led them on Thursday evening.
There are times when falsehood becomes
almost moral, and this is one of them.
The fact that they are so much ashamed
of their action as to repudiate It even at
the cost of truth is a proof that these
reckless young politicians still possess a
rudimentary sense of decency.
The episode is useful from public
point of view. 1t shows exactly what Re-
pubIicanism is It is organized political
greed. The enrolled members of the party
are enrolled because they want some-
thing. The machine is the instrument
by which they hope to get that some-
thing. The party candidates and Office
holders are the mere tools of the ma
chine. The platform and the campaign
pledges are mere formulas and fctions to
dazzle and catch the voters, who are the
silly dupes of the whole arrangement.
When high official ventures to ignore
the system, to disappoint the place grab
bers and assert his own honor and man
hood, he becomes traitor, and his pic
ture is turned to the wall if not trampled
under foot.
The people really owe thanks to Mr..
Erwin and his followers for the positive
demonstration which they have given of
the inwardness of things.
