Postmaster Holt of Little Rock,
writing to the Globe Democrat,
says: "There is a strong Nc
Kinley sentiment in this state,
and | have no doubt, that with a
fair election, tho state would be
close" 1t certainly must re-
quire an immense amount OF
gall, even in a republican office
holder, to make such reckless
statements.

The bear turned on him and seized his

While the bear was attacking his traner

EIGHTH WARD CHANGES.
Anti-Ring Republicans Think They
Will Now Have a Chance.

The changes in the precinct lines of the
Eighth Ward will necessitate the holding
of new enrollments in the Fifth, Sixth,
Eighth and Ninth precincts by the Re-
publicans. This will have to be done with
in a few weeks as the Executive Commit
tee of the County Committee is to meet
the latter part of this month to prepare
for the primaries.
The anti-ring faction is pleased with the
necessity of holding new enrollments.
Since the ward association refused to all
low the secretary possession of the enroll
ment books the anti-ring people were fig
uring out how they were to get record
of the votes with view to capturing the
coming primaries. Now that the precinct
lines have been changed a new enrolment
will be necessary and the anti-ring people
now hope to obtain possession of the list
of voters.
With the creation of a new precinct, the
Ninth, one more county committeeman
will be elected and this position the anti
ring people are sure of winning.

CENSUS ERRORS
Bureaus Cold Bluff Called
By President Mulvaney

Board.

Some time ago the superintendent of the
State school census wrote to President
John J. Mulvaney of the Board of Edu-
had made a great number of errors in
their reports and these reports the super
intendent of the bureau refused to re-
ceive and forthwith sent a notice to every
enumerator instructing him to recanvass
his district.
Mr.. Mulvaney wrote in reply that it
would be manifestly unfair for the
enumerators to have to go over the whole
of their work again and be pointed out
that they should be informed of the
errors. Mr.. Mulvaney requested that a
list of these should be sent
The bureau at first declined to do this
but, after time sent to Mr. Mulvaney a
partial list of errors which they termed
samples" To this Mr.. Mulvaney de-
INJURED, saying that these samples"
didn't indicate the extent of the errors al
legged to have been made, neither did they
show a proper proportion to the whole of
the returns
Again came a refusal to do this. Mr..
tMulvaney firmly persisted in his demands,
and the bureaus bluffff being called sent

of Education.

in Superintendent H. Snyder's Office and
as a result it was agreed to furnish the

that the wretched, feeble old man, clothed
in RACES, was really the Jacob Brewer
they had known.
Brewer, seven years ago, then con-
tracing mason and builder, lived on Rem
sen avenue, in fine residence. He owned
this and other properties and his business
brought him in large income. He owned
several fast horses, and was a liberal,
enterprising citizen.
In less than two years all his property
was swept away. He indorsed notes for
tions in real estate. Several Improbable
contracts completed his ruin. He left
New Brunswick and went to Trenton to
live with his daughter, Mrs. Voorhees,.
Illluck accumulated and soon the fam
lily was reduced almost to starvation. AS
member of the Exempt Firemen's Asso-
citation of New Brunswick Brewer was en-
titled to admission to the Firemens Home
at Boonton. Discovering this, the Trenton
authorities sent him, his daughter and her
three children to New Brunswick.
AS the Firemen's Relief Association has
no funds for permanently pensioning the

IRELAND VS.. ITALY.
Farrell Said He Could "Liok" Five
Italians and There Was a Fight.

There was a free fight among a dozen
longshoremen. in front of the Hamburg
American steamship piers in Hoboken
last night. Blows were struck right and
left and several Italians drew knives.
Before any cutting was done Detective
Fenton and Policeamn Hobart appeared
on the seen and broke up the fight.
1t was learned that the trouble began
when Patrick Farrel, an Irish longshore-
man started to critize Italian labor. He
said he could 'lick' any five Italians at
once, but the Italians didn't believe him.
There were several Germans in the gang
who took Farrel's side of the argument
and "mix-up'i soon followed. Farrell
and two of the Italians, Joseph Deffar
and Antonio de Barria, both of No. 70
Adams street, were arrested.
In the police court this morning Re-
corder Stanton warned Farrell not to in
terfere again with his fellow workmen,
whether they were Italians or any other
nationality. The prisoners were dis
charged.

No Conference Yesterday
and No Choice Made
Men in the Race.

1--WE had no conference yesterday at
which candidates were discussed to sue
ceed the late Congressman w. D. Daily,
said Mr. Robert Davis, this morning on
being shown an article from this morn
ings "Sun," which announced that such
a conference between Hudson County
Democrats had taken place. The article
naively closes with when the conference
ended none of those who took part would
talk"
How the dickens could they when there
was no one there to talk?" said another
Democrat high up in political circles of
Hudson.
Mr.. Davis again emphasized the fact
that no one had yet been decided upon
and won't even for some time yet In
spite of this the small fry insist that the
man is selected and they will tell you that
you can take your choice from these:-
Ex-Judge Henry Puster, Ex-Governor
George 7. Werts, Mayor Edward Hoos,
Robert S. Hudspeth, Senator Allan L.
McDermott of Jersey City, Leon Albeit,
James F. Minturn, Alexander C. Young
and Elijah T. Paxton of Hoboken.
OF these Mayor Hoos seems to have a
very large following of "rooters" who
point to Mr.. Hooss excellent record in
every public office he has yet held and who
say his career should be rewarded with
congressional honors. No one doubts that
the Mayor would make an excellent cam
didate against whom nothing could be
urged affecting his character. During his
mayorality the interests of the people
have always with him been paramount
issue and his friends say that the same
viii hold good should The be translated to
the House of Representatives. Those SEN
tlments are very naturally very fiattering
to the Mayor, who is like all mortals not
averse to hearing the nice things said
about him; but he will not discuss it.

rest of Jansen and Gamer to result in

We have captured besides the pile of
bogus documentary evidence that will
lead to big round up of professional
counterfeiters.
The counterfeit money we have seized is
among the cleverest in this line that has
ever been brought to our notice. We have
heard 1t said that bank tellers have been
fooled on false greenbaeks in circulation
the past month or so and if these are
among the same kind of bills that we
have captured it is not at all surprising
1t takes expert examination to detect
their cpuriousness. The lithographic work
