DICKINSON'S OUTBREAK.
1T INDUCES SOME REFLECTIONS WHICH
ARE TIMELY.

ARE TIMELY
THE COLONEL AS AN INFLUENCE AND AS BENE-
FIcIARY IN POLITICS.
II Colonel S. D. Dickinson knew how popular ne
Is in Hudson County he would keep quiet ana Jet
his popularity grow. The impression prevails tnerc
that some things better forgotten than remen-
bered. and that whenever the Colonel calls atten-
ton to himself he weakens his prestige as ne
publican leader and exhibits the weakness OF tho
Republican party there under his ieaders"p'

questioned facility in making out OF the party
in every way than II has been able In any way
to make out Of him. 1t is regarded by some men
as singular that on several occasions when the
Republican party has been defeated Colonel DICK
inson has not Hence. Il is not regarded as
strange that many Of the men who still follow
where he leads are his bcnehciaries when there
IS ANYTHING which he has not pre-empted 10 give

These Republicans have a formula Of speaking

HUDSON UNDER DICKINSON.
The suddenly manifested interested OF Colonel
Dickinson in the welfare OF the Repuohcah pary
In Hudson County is pathetic occurring at TINS
time It is also suspicious. The general sGperst-
ton in Jersey City is that he had hand In max
ing the Republican ticket which was recently sig
nally defeated In Hudson County, and that II IN -

10 some one who is more in touch with the peV-
