NINTH WARD GOOD WORK
The Democratic Club i.
Sanguine of Victory.

A meeting of the Ninth Ward Demo-
cratic Society is scheduled for this even
ing. President Burke has asked for a
large gathering. Business relative to the
fall campaign work in that particular
ward will be discussed. The work will
probably be mapped out in order to have
matters running smoothly as soon as
possible.
In view of the apathetic, uninterested
manner in which the Republicans of that
ward regard the coming election and the
present bitter fight on among the two
factions of small gathering that is try
ing to run the ward, the victory of the
Democratic candidates should be over
whelming. The prospect Of victory will
not cause any let up in the plans and eff
forts OF the Democrats, who are deter
mined to carry on bitter fight against
the enemy. Now that the banner of the
Democracy has been firmly planted in
that bailiwick, every Democrat has
manifested desire to rally round 1t TO
the very last Victory is what this sue
cessful organization is after, and the
members are sanguine that their efforts
will be crowned with success. Every
man stands ready to support the ticket,
and an extra effort will be made to roll
up large majority for George G. Ten
nant, should he land the Assembly nomi-
nation.

SCENES IN JERSEY CITY
Crowds Gathered at Docks
and Open Places Friday
The Decorations.

Never did the residential portion of the
Bergen section look more beautiful than
ON Friday and Saturday. Bunting and
flags were to be seen in such great
numbers that 1t seemed as though the
enthusiasm of the people knew no bounds.
Clubhouse and business houses were
alike decorated. Profusions of flags hung
from store windowns and the windows
of private dwellings.
At Bergen and Fairmount avenues, the
display Of fireworks Friday night was a
pretty sight Messrs. John p. Landrine
and Robert A. Simpson attended to
pyrotechnical end of the programme to
the satisfaction Of great crowd of sight
seers.
Lafayette was a good second with its
display of patriotism and fireworks. The
shore front at Communipaw were crowd
ed by thousands of spectators, many of
whom shot off fireworks. while others
contended themselves with an unobstruct
ed view Of the marvellous display off the
Battery and Governors Island
In no section of the city was more
honor paid to Admiral Dewey than in the
Horseshoe in the matter of decoration of
business houses and homes. Grove street,
Erie street, Pavonia avenue and upper
Jersey avenue were mass of bunting and
gay colored lanterns. and many business
houses and cafes had dazzling electric dis
plays. On both Friday and Saturday
night in the vicinity Of the Park House
and in other places there were brilliant
pyrotechnic displays and general illumina-
ton. Bonfires burned brightly on many
corners.
Attracted by the excellent location from
which to observe the illumination OF the
North River on Friday evening last, over
five thousand people gathered at the open
lots IN the vicinity of Ogden avenue and
Bowers street and helped to make the
local pyrotechnic display and celebration
greater success than it would other
wise have been. The spot selected was
many years ago the regular scene of all
big celebrations by the residents of the
old Hudson City section, and many of the
old-time residents recalled these celebra-
tions Friday nights was the first one
held In twenty-eight years.
Most Of the success OF the local demon
stration was due to the efforts Of the

and President William Kastenhuber mar
shalled the parade. Franklin street, Pali-
SADIE avenue and Central avenue were
paraded. Money left over from the prep
arations of the Citizens Committee for
saluting the Admiral had been divided
among several sections of the city and
that appropriated to the Hudson City
section was devoted to pyrotechnic dis
play. Bombs were exploded, rockets in
cessantly fred and the river front at that
point bathed in sea of crimson fire. A
huge bonfire was kept continually burn

wound up with a magnificent set piece Of

The preparations for the display were

Admiral Dewey. A great number Of aerial

were greeted with the customary "AhsH

The Illuminated buildings of New York

those fortunate enough to witness its
beauty.
The Greenville Dewey flag pole is still
the centre Of attraction being visited
daily by crowds from all parts Of the
city The flag was taken down Saturday
evening and will not again be hoisted
until the next holiday.
"A big crowd gathered at both the Nor
gan and Morris street docks to view the
big naval parade on Friday A great deal
of grumbling was heard at the Morgan
street dock over the fact that it was the
only public dock Jersey City owns along
its water front, and that was almost in
accessible. Cannons fired salutes to the
Admiral from both docks and the crowds
in attendance eheered enthusiastically.

who looked after matters at the Morgan

superintendent Brooks said today that
he was not able on the spot to tell just
how many passengers passed over the
lines on Friday, the big day. The ac-
tuaI receipts would show that over one
hundred and twenty-three thousand
crossed over. The daily receipts are Of
ten larger than those last Friday Truck
traffic was almost entirely suspended.
Passenger and truck traffic often reach
near the s., 900 mark. There may be half
dozen sales of truck privilege ranging
from 500 to 81, 900 sold on certain day.
There were no extra boats put on any

|REPUBS STILL FIGHTING
Ninth Ward Anti -Ringsters
Refuse Concessions and
Go In For SIashing.

Recent developments in the bitter con-
troversy between the Republican ring and
anti-ring factions Of the Ninth ward,
show conclusively that all efforts on the
part of the anti-ringsters to promote
harmony are of no avail. Resolutions and
terms have been laid by the anti-ringsters
and the machine people in turn have Of
fered concessions beneficial to themselves.
The defiance of the machine people We'd

tion, controlled by the ward bosses, re-

request for precinct primaries. is the lat
est action taken by that faction. These
bosses positively refuse to give up the grip
they now have on the ward and to order
publicans have chance of electing
whom they please
A committee Of five was appointed at
the Ward Association meeting, composed
of four machine men and one opposed to
ring tactics. This committee was selected
for the purpose Of comforting with sim

the purpose of coming to some under
standing relative to harmony primary
ticket. This meeting was arranged for to-
night. 1t will never take place if some
prominent anti-machine men can pre-
vent It.
Now that Chairman Stubenvoll of the
Ward Association, has ordered joint
primary for Wednesday night to be held
in the Bergen Republican Club, these an
ti-machine people feel that there is no
need of them entering into discussion
relatives to the delegates for the coun-
ty convention They want precinct prim-
aries so the people can select whom they
want Therefore any attempt on the part
of the ringsters to reconcile the anti
machine men without giving them pre-
cinct primaries will go for naught.
These ward bosses even offered their OPP
ponents the choice of all the delegates If
they would agree to a joint primary
While the intention Of the committee Of
anti-machine men has not been openly
declared, it is generally believed that the
magnanimous offer will be gracefully de-
clined. The machine candidates are in for
grand slashing. Alexander Mclean was
the candidate of the anti-ring element for
the nomination of Sheriff and now that
he has declined to run. little interest is
being manifested by the rings opponents.
On the other hand, the ward bosses have
declared themselves for Mark Fagen, an
-Freeholder OF the Fifth ward.
There promises to be a pretty fight be-
tween John ]. Erwin, Gamaliel Christie
and the ex-Freeholder. for the coveted
nomination. The ring bosses, it is firmly
believed, have set their plans for Fagen' S
nomination. Erwin and Christie. how
ever, are very much In the political swim
and are bound to have large followings
at the convention to be held next Mon
day night. Both Christie and Erwin have
been making a strong canvass and Fagen
has scarcely been heard of.
