from Hoboken, was next introduced
'sThe Republican candidate for Sherln,
said he. .is going about one end of the
county making the church people believe
that he will have the saloons closed for
them on Sunday, and in another part, as
surfing the saloon keeper that ne viii ca
ter to their interests. The hypocrisy OF
this candidate is apparent to all. Under
the administration of former Sheriff Tof-
fey, he went about the county securing
evidence against saloon keepers, and why
he is now going about telling the liquor
dealers that he will give them liberal
administration I cannot tell"
Allan Benny of Bayonne riddled the
plank in the Republican platform touch
ing on the labor question. He said there
was no need for plank providing for
uniform days work and the protecting
from machinery of women and children IN
factories. The children, he said, should
be in school and the women at home lie
charged the Republicans with having
beaten bills that provided for schools on
the plea that the county of Essex eouio
not afford to educate It's children
Messrs. Carl Ruempler, James c. Clarke
and Maurice Stack then appeared ana
they were cheered vociferously. Each OF
the candidates responded with snort
address, thanking the audience for ats
manifestation of enthusiasm.
Mr. w. ID. Edwards followed with a
convincing address He said he felt sure
that the Democratic party would be Sc
curely entrenched in the Eighth and Ninth
wards from now on.

Democratic party is one worthy of your
commentator and support. On the other
hand the Republican ticket resembles the
Prohibition ticket: honest men. no DOUBT
but without a hope or a sign OF success
The speaker then referred to the bill re-
garding the consolidation of the various
municipalities in Hudson county.
s.This charter which interests 100000
people" said he, SIS very important. l
would rather have that charter passed
by a Democratic Legislature than a Re
publican one. We want a charter passed
for the masses and not for the classes
mfr. Edwards eulogized the Democratic
nominees and said that the platform is
justice to all.
Mr.. George G. Tenant got rousing
reception when he was introduced. He
touched on the work done in his behalf
in the Eighth, Ninth and Tenth wards,
and said he more than appreciated the
efforts of the workers.
Congressman William D. Daily came in
for a share of the applause. A wag in
the rear heralded him as the coming Vice
President He acknowledged this compli-
ment with several bows. Some people
think 1 have a strong political creed" ;"
said he. perhaps I have. I never doubt
ed that every Democrat born was better
than any living Republican. If man Is
nominated by his party, the voters should
stand by him. Every man that is ,nomi-
mated by the Democratic party should be
supported by party men. We should urge
all party men to support such candidates
it is our duty.
1.-THE Democratic party has nominated
men who represent the highest principles
of Democracy. There is no reason why
the ticket should not be elected from one
end of the county to the other. Mr..
DAILY touched on the extrayagant admin
istration of the Republican party in han
ding the State finances, and said ne
hoped that the Democratic party would
gain control at the next Gubernatorial
election and remain forever in charge of
this great State.
Speeches were also delivered by John
w. Queen and David Y. Lewis.
