DAILY ON
DEMOCRACY.
Congressman Against l6 to |
But Against Gold Stand
ard Too.
A SLAP AT RICH Me N
He Wants Them Out of the
Party -Gourley is Also
in His Black Books.


Congressman William DAILY is still
smarting under the snub he received at
the hands of Chairman William B. Gour-
ley, of the Democratic State Committee,
when he was turned down for re-appoint-
ment as delegate-at-large on the commit
tee. The Congressman is looking for Mr..
Gourley's scalp as eader of the party and
he will endeavor at the conference of
Democrats, to be held at Asbury Park
August 7, to ventilate his grievances. He
will ask for Mr. GourIey's retirement
upon the plea that harmony cannot be
restored in the party unless the leaders
who now are in control of the machinery
are relegated to the ranks.
In an interview with News man
this morning the Congressman outlined
his policy at the conference and gave
birth to some distinctly original ideas in
the needs of the party in general. Said
he:-
"The Democracy of New Jersey is not
a gold party. It is a bimetallic party. /
have been throughout the entire State
since the election of 1895, and the rock
upon which the party split was the de-
claration OF 16 to l. Had the Chicago plat
form declared for a double standard. the
ratio to be fixed by law. instead of a de-
claration Of 16 to ], different story
might be told.
81 can mention the names of some
prominent. Democrats who opposed Mr..
Bryan on the ground of the ratio being
in the platform who otherwise would
have supported him
'But don't let anybody into the belief
fh1t
Jersey will ever declare for gold stand
ard. My personal wish is that the silver
question for the time being may be SUI
tions which are now confronting the
country but the Same old platform will
do for me If my party reaffirms it.
.'The Democracy of New Jersey will
follow no man who is not In absolute
sympathy with the Chicago platform. My
knowledge of the rank and file is that
they have no use for any man who makes
platforms for himself as against the
platforms Of his party. The men Of great
wealth in the Democratic party must
leave it. They are in it for no other pur-
pose than to use it for their own per-
sonal gain. To be a Democrat is incon-
sistent with the means now used to ac-
quire wealth. The Democratic party is
the party of the people, friend of the
masses, and wealth has no sympathy
with the masses.
s.The leadership of the party should fall
on Robert Davis. l know no man IN
New Jersey more competent than Hud-
son county's favorite leader. His power
of organization was demonstrated by
the magnificent majority given to the
Democratic ticket last fall. and, more
than that. he is an uncompromising par
ty man, standing by the party under all
circums tances."

REINSTATE MOUNCEY?
Prominent Republicans Says
His Treatment Will Not
Be Upheld.

When the Republican County Commit
tee meets on September / in Lincoln Hall
the members will be asked to rescind the
resolution passed favoring the eensure Of
Committeeman John Mouncey of the
Seventh precinct Of the Ninth ward
Mouncey, it will be remembered, was tried
BY the Appeals Committee on charges of
disloyalty. He was found guilty and was
eensured at a meeting of the general
body. Mouncey resigned and since then
his position has been vacant.
a prominent member of the Bergen
Republican Club, who has always fought
against the low tactics of the ward and
county leaders, said last evening that the
censuring of Mouncey did not meet with
the approval of the fair-minded Repub-
leans in the county.
Even those who voted to censure
Mouncey," said he "are now sorry for
their action, realizing that such actions
tend to demoralize the party rather than
benefit it. Those who voted against the
accused committeeman were under the
eyes of the bosses at the time and dared
not voice their true sentiments Many
wished to uphold Mouncey, but feared to
gain disfavor in the eyes of the bosses.
I feel that Mouncey win be reinstate, if
the sentiments expressed by the majority
of the committeeman are true"
The election officers in the Seventh Pre-
cinct who were in sympathy with the
anti-ringsters were dislodged at the last
meeting of the ward association and ma
chine men were put in their places, or
rather the names of machine men win
be sent to the County Board of Elections
to be appointed
The anti-machine men are now won
dering as to the manner in which the,
machine people will run the fall enroll
ments and primaries. The machine peo-
pie know their weak spots in the ward,
and it is feared that they will fix up joint
primaries to suit themselves in order to
shut out the opposing faction

ceive an increase in salary, and $500 will
be appropriated for the signal system

quest for $51S, eO9.e7, but the Finance Board

advance of teachers salaries. Superfn-
tendent Snyder will get his additional
81 600. The repairs win be SIS, 600.

Cit Hall commissioners what they asked
for. namely. $2S 0O0 the Finance Board

appropriated last year. Naturally Super
intendent Emil Datz is much disturbed
over it, He says 1t will be impossible 20
keep the city's Parthenon in good order
if he hasn't more money. When he
learned that the Commission was only TO
get s24. 900 he ait once sought an interview
with Messrs. Lembeck and Midlige and
pleaded for them to open the city's purse
strings He may get an additional appro-
priation.

clerks in the Collectors Office, whose sal
aries from December will be raised from
s7zO to $500 per year. Four clerks former
" in the pay of the Finance Board as
