Ladies' and Gentlemon:-It seems to
mo that In this campaign we have a
right to appeal as we do appeal, not to
men as Republicans, but as good cItt-

alike. that underlle the Democracy OF
Jefferson and Jackson that underlle the
Whtgism OF Henry Clay and Webster
and the Republicanism OF Abraham
Lincoln, and 1t is upon those principles
that we make our appeal for honesty in
the state and IN the nations honesty In
making promise and performance
square. honesty In not prophccylng that
which We know or ought to know viii
not occur. honesty In not halving the
nations debt by halvlng the na,ion,s

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1900-05-28
THE ECLIPSE IN THIS CITY
People Who Couldn't Go
South Watched It
Through Dark
Glass.

Many people all over the city this morn
ing was early to view the much dis
cussed and long expected eclipse of the
SUM- Although the atmosphere was not
as clear as could have been desired, the
action of the moon upon the sun could
be clearly traced whenever "Sir SoP'
deigned to peep from behind cloud.
Shortly after seven people could be
seen gazing heavenword from housetops,
balconies and street Those who possess
ed observatories or telescopes shared this
good fortune witt hheir neighbors. The
observatory on top of Mr.. and Mrs. John
Hilton's residence on Clifton place, af-
forded a splendid view of the solar
region and was we'll patronized, as was
that on Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Harrisons
property, on Clinton avenue, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Heike's on oMntgomery
street. Mr.. Heike, however, was down
south observing the eclipse with profess
sional astronomers.
At about ten minutes past nine the
eclipse as observed from Jersey City was
at its height. Then the sun had the ap-
pearance of the moons first quarter, and
the earth was slightly darker than half
an hour earlier or half an hour later.
The Newark avenue hill presented a
curious sight about nine O'Clock this
morning Everybody was peering sky
ward, eagerly watching for rift in the
clouds, which seemed to be forthcoming
just at the time when the best view of
the eclipse could be had. Over three hun
dred people occupied the sidewalks on
both sides of the street. Both footpaths
of the Newark avenue bridge over the
West Shore Railroad were crowded 80
that pedestrians could not pass. This,
somehow, seemed to be a favorite gather
ing spot.
One half of those in that vicinity were
possessed of pieces of smoked glass. Some
had pieces of broken colored whiskey
TASKS. And old colored bottles that had
lain for months at the bottom of both
sides of the embankment approaching the
bridge and in the nearby dumps were
sold at premium. Men and kids grabbed
them up, smashed them and crowds in
which women mingled fought for the
pieces. Policeman ]. H. Kelly, who was
on that post at the time, had hard time
of it to preserve order. Had one of the
itinerant glaciers passed at that time with
a pack of glass on his back it would have
precipitated a riot.
People climbing the hill walked back
ward, keeping their glances hoisted at an
angle of 45 degree. They were continually
running into pedestrians coming down the
hill whose eyes were aso turned sky
ward. There were all sorts of little un-
pleasant encounters, angry exclamations
and threatened scraps.
Patrolman Kelly says the most popular
thing that could be done at present is to
organize an Eclipse Club and run off a
picnic.
