Republican Protection Of Gambling.

It may be that The Jersey City News
Is going too far from home to attack the
alleged protected gambling houses in Long
Branch when it continually refradns from
informing the Jersey City Police Commits
sion that the city reeks with gambling,
the existence of which is well known to
the Democratic police bureau.-New York
~Presz."
Us this an exhibition OF the f~oolishness
or Of the knavery of the IL man who
writes the New Jersey politics for the
New York .Press?" He evidently has
either forgotten or did not read the last
charge to the Grand Jury Of Justice Lip
pfncott, whom he delights so much TO
quote when 1t suits his dishonest purpose.
In his last charge the Justice In effect
said that If there was any gambling in
Jersey City 1t was done so quietly and
secretly that only the initiated knew that
1t was going on. It is not conducted
openly IN buildings so magnificent and
prominent that they are the first objects
to attract the attention Of a stranger as in
Long Branch and cause him to ask ques-
tons concerning them. The games are
not so wide open as to be accessible to
any man or woman who may take the
trouble to climb the broad steps Of their
entrances as at Long Branch, but If there
Is any gambling in Jersey city it is done
so secretly and so much under cover as
to escape the knowledge of one of the
best police forces in the State. In fact,
those who are acquainted with the situa-
tion, know there is no gambling in Jersey
City: but. as the Press insists. II there
Is any why do not the Republican Sheriff
and the Republican Prosecutor suppress
II? They lave just as much if not more
~ thar the Democratic Police Board.
Such weak attempts as this to Excuse
the criminal neglect of Wilbur A. Heisley,
Republican Prosecutor of Monmouth
county. to perform the duty which he
took g solemn oath to do, onsy make the
epormity of his offence more apparent.
WAS the Paterson correspondent of the
'SPresss asleep yesterday Or was the
charge OF justice p1xon 10 the 1fanu
bury Of Passaie county purposely ignored
BY nat dishonest sheet for political pur-
poses2 In his remarks the Justice said;-
We are informed that there are and
have been for some time In this city
places conducted as gambling houses. The
gambling, so the Court is informed, Is
conducted In various forms, from the
uieke1-in-the-siot machine to up-to-date
pool-rooms where money is bet daily on
horses. The Prosecutor will lay the evil
dence before you. and 1t Is your duty TO

similar nature in Cuba, Porto isicy, and

interesting and instructive. He says:
1.-The true way to restore the South to
the Union after the war was to restore
the South to its own people," The
same principle applies to-day in the new
territories just coming under our con-
