The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1900-09-26
FROM THE FIRST WARD.

A big fnrm wagon loaded with young
ladies and gentlemen from the First
Ward visited Moore's last Thursday
evening, where sociable was held
and good time enjoyed by all who
took part in the event
The Fife and Drum Corps gave
social hop atthe Hibernia engine hous
last Friday evening. The attendance
was large and the boys are much pleas
ed over their success financially. We
may now soon look at this organization
in new uniforms. They have advanced
very rapidly in the short time that
they have been organized
We always took quite an interest in
councils proceedings, and were eager
10 know Just what was done at each
meeting of this honorable body. But
unfortunately, hereafter the readers of
The RECORD will be debarred from
reading these council proceedings, ms
we understand that the council has
turned all the printing and advertising
over To The Beacon. 1t seems almost
impossible that the few Republicans in
council would allow such proceed
lngs without entering protest We
would not be one bit surprised to see
our present council turn the United
States over to VIM. j. Bryan before
the election!
We would be pleased to see a
Democratic parade with all those vice
presidents arranged in fours, with
their high silk hats on. The rank and
file, if there were any left, would
follow on behind each wearing a tin
rooster. There always WAS trouble in
the Democratic ranks in regard to
holding office, and there never We're
enough vacancies to supply the de-
mand, but now since each and every
one can be honored with vice presi-
dency, perhaps there will be places
for all i'll the z. Q. T.. played ont
partly. Now let the band play.
We would like to see Board of
Trade organized i'll our city, with at
least hundred members, and an
effort made to boom the town by en-
eouraging manufacturing industries
to locate here. Our little city seems
to be on standstill, "a we now stand
IN population about as we dId twenty
years ago. If we had Board of
Trade here. the hosiery factory which
was about to locate here, and which
had some trial machines running,
would have had large plant in OPP
Grafton here now. They received
| little encouragement from our citizens.
There are no Inducements offered
to manufacturing industries to locate,
and until such il done, we need not
look for any Improvement in the line
of new manufacturing enterprises.
Board of Trade with at least hundred
of our leading citizens and business
men i'll il, could make and suggest
many improvements, as well ar en-
courage outsiders To locate their fac
torres, etc.
A great many old soldiers art
talking over W, J. Bryan's speech in
regard to his pension views, AZ pub
blished in last weeks RECORD. Can
any old soldier conscientiously go to
the polls on election day and cast
their ballot for man who takes such
views in regard to the boys who wore
the blue when their country WAS at
stake? How well they remember the
last Democratic administration, when
Hoke Smith Topped OF good slice of
their deseryings. Everybody knows
the howl that went forth at that time
concerning his action There is no
reputation by the United States
Government with the old soldier as
long as the Republican party is Mt the
helm.
