| Nt-TZHORN FOR REORGANIZATION.
Ex-Assemblyman Henry NJ Nutzhorn. Of Hobo
| ken. who has been one of Mr.. Badwins ardent sup
porters for many years. strongly favors reorgani-
| cation OF the party in Hudson County When he
| ran for Recorder in 1892. against the popular Re-
corder McDonough. though he was defeated. he re-
| ceived over two thousand votes. He said yester-
| day to a Tribune reporter that he estimated that
| about twenty-five hundred was the normal Republi-
| can vote in Hoboken at that time. and that me
be about three thousand now.
AT the recent election in Hoboken SAID MI Mr.
| ceived only POI votes. The falling on IN the Re
o yS6s so cannot help noticing IT, In
of the districts the Republicans did not re-
f Rap9bicaE Committeeman election officers and
chalengers? II goes without saying that they were
| dsloyal to their party and voted with the Demo-
| Gratis. -, .- - :,
There be no question that the party needs
a thorough overhauling In this county, and | Will
| gladly toin in the movement | think there are
| many Republicans who can be Induced to lead such
| n movement There no Republicans who do not
| realize the necessity for some movement TO
| strengthen the party. l am practically n young
| man In politics and 7 believe that older and more
| experienced men should be placed at the head.
! "If was one OF the county leaders would step
/ down and give other chance TO manage the
party affairs. would feel that my work was not
| appreciated. and would give my place TO another.
! saw do ANYTHING and everything TO strengthen
| the party in Hudson, II needs II badly
! TO DECIDE AS TO THE KEAN FRANCHISE.
