Newark Advertiser is now a paying basis
as the result OF hard work intelligently directed
The management has sgnalized the change by
an increase OF salaries to about half Of the men,
bers of the staff.
The Editor OF The Elizabeth Journal will
open his eyes wide and wonderingly when he
learns from The Jersey City News that q" The
Journal is a sort of personal organ of Con-
gresham Fowler"
The remark by a New-Jersey Democratic news
paper that "the Republican campaign OF SANDER
met with the return which 1t deserved" in the
cent municipal election in Jersey City impels the
reflection that II every Democratic campaign OF
SANDER had met with the return which II de-
served there wouldn't be enough Of the Demo-
cratic party left in New-Jersey to eat dollar
dinner for thirteen.
The remark by Congressman Daily in Wash
ington yesterday that tine Democratic victory in
Hudson County on Tuesday an Administra-
ton defeat is Of those satires which the
Congressman from the With District invariably
perpetrates when he is away from home or when
the ear of Mr.. Bryan is at one of the Nebraska
long distance telephones waiting for something
encouraging to come his way.
The sudden retirement Of ex-senator Smith
from politics. announced in Newark yesterday.
suggests that the Seymour gun kicked when the
election in that city went OFF on Tuesday, and
that Mr.. Smiths hindsght was brought to the
assistance OF his foresight by a most emphatic
jar.
The real object OF the Bryan dollar dinner 70
be given in Camden two weeks hence is 70 take
the preliminary steps toward securing an In
structed delegation in favor OF William J. Bryan
in the Democratic National Convention. There
are indications that the diners will have hard
road TO travel in pursuit of their desire. II IS
already announced that William B. Gourley the
chairman os the Democratic State Committee.
will earnestly endeavor thwart the instructed
delegation scheme, and that he will have the
assistance OF Robert Davis the Hudson County
Democratic leader, in sending free lance dele
cation to Kansas City. If this report is true
and there is no good reason TO doubt 1.-THE
Democratic State Convention may be a liveler
gathering than was customary IN the palnly
days OF the late Governor Albeit when dele
gates didn't care much what they called each
other in language which almost raised bltsters
on the decorations OF the Trenton Opera House
After which they buried the Ratchet in the
neighborhood hostleres and went at 1t to Tick
the Republicans" which they generally did, but
which will not be easy TO do in the next
campaign.
Probably nine-tenths OF the Republicans IN
gresham Charles N. Fowler thought II not
worth while for him TO contradict that part OF
a recent alleged interview with him wherein he
was made to say that Senator Kean was op-
posed to his denomination. because he has helped
TO elect Mr.. Kean the United States Senate
Neither was IL necessary for him to deny that
he said IN the same interview that Frank Ber-
gen, who would like TO be his successor. would
not get a delegate 70 the convention in Eliza
beth. Mr. Fowler has never been accused OF
talking political nonsense or OF losing his head
when talking to newspaper men. II is as yet
by no means certain that Mr. Fowler will be
renominated or that Mr.. Bergen will succeed
in obtaining the nomination Once il becomes
apparent that the friends OF these Repubr-
cans going to make ugly embttered
the Republicans of other parts OF the With
District will find a candidate upon whom they
unite. and whose prospects Of success will ,
be aided by the disaffection OF Union County.
AT present, however, according 70 several saga
cious Republicans in the district who favor con-
tinuous service in Congress a means OF
strengthening State influence in the House. so
long a member is worthy OF the confidence
OF the party. MI Fowler has the inside track for
the nomination The reason that they give for
this belief is that Mr.. Fowler has risen to g.
position Of influence in the House which 1t would
take member at least three years Of
faithful service to obtain.
