their sombre castles and flocked to new

of the earlier writer's of this period to
Shakespeare, who wrote all his greatest
tragedies before 1903. Only eleven of
Shakespeares plays, the speaker said,

complete edition appeared seven years af-
ter his death and was published at the
expense of four booksellers, as no single
publisher was willing to risk his money
on the collection.
A committee was appointed. to draw up
resolutions of sympathy and forward the
same to Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Lord at
Ipswich, Mass, in memory of their daugh-

PRAISE FOR LEADER DAVIS
Haggerty and Coyle Marvel
at His Great Triumph.

Hoboken's contribution to the big DEM
ocratic figures in Hudson County fell but
little below the result forecasted by the
local campaign managers, who unite in
proclaiming the work accomplished by
Robert Davis remarkable.
"Mr. Davis has clearly established his
title to the leadership of New Jerseys
Democracy by his signal triumph in Hud-
son. said City Clerk John Haggerty to-
day. "In the face of the things the party
mad to contend with the county result is
extraordinarily gratifying Vanity is not
the long suit of Leader Davis. but no one
can blame him if he is inclined to feel a
little proud of himself after yesterdays s
showing.
Comparisons. they say, are odious. but
one cannot help just now comparing the
work ACCOMPLISHED here with that ac-
complished in Manhattan, and coming to
the conclusion that Richard the Great can
be shown a whole lot of things by Rob
ert the Invincible
'4The Presidential election of 1900 will be
regarded by New Jerseys Democracy of
the future as having removed the leader
ship from Trenton to Jersey City That
Is where it rightfully belongs, and that is
what all Jersey Democrats consider the
most significant result of the campaign
now over. Most of the ardent party men
are undoubtedly displeased with the Ma
tional victory of the enemy, but the ju-
dicious ones are saying grace for Robert
Davis and consoling themselves with the
knowledge that out Of evil has come
much good. With Allan McDermott in
Congress and Robert Davis at the State
belm New Jersey Democracy is bound to
be assertive for some time to come.
Boulevard Superintendent Michael 3.
Eoyle expressed himself as being disap-
pointed on the National result

said. The noble work done in Hudson
county IS a great mark Of Robert Davis 5

throughout the State as the real chieftain

Circular No. 1.
The Chief of Police takes this means to
thank and commend the officers and
men of this force for their conduct DUR
ing the political campaign just ended.
For many weeks you have had extra
duty to perform that necessitated loss of
sleep and rest. You have been called up
on to maintain order at large meetings.
You have regulated matters during par
ades upon our streets so as to elicit adj
miration from our citizens and those
in whose honor the demonstrations were
Intended
On the occasion of the visit of Mr..
Bryan to our city there were over one
hundred thousand people on the streets
and in the various halls. This great
crowd of people saw or heard the Presi-
Dental candidate without confusion or in
jury to anyone. You have been success
full in accomplishing all this in the plain
line of your duty without brutality or
even by displaying a club or weapon of
any sort. While great deal of this is
due to your discipline and a knowledge
of your duty, we must not forget to give
credit to our citizens for their respect for
US in our official capacity.
1t is hopeful that proper understanding
existing between the Jersey City police
and her citizens will always continue. :.
The Chief is particularly proud of the
guard of honor for their excellent service.

rn ais telegram Colonel Bryan re-


Hon. Robert Davis, Jersey city
Hudson has done nobly and ap-
s'' NV. ]. BRYAN
Ex-United States Senator James Smith
sent, this morning, a message of congrat-
ulatlon to Mr.. Davis attributing the sue
cess of the county ticket to the labors
of the leader of the party. Other con-
gratulatory kilograms were received.
Mr.. Davis was asked, this morning,
what he thought would be the majority
in the county. He replied that it would
be not less than 7,o0O In Jersey City the
majority would be about $500.
.sThat we were able to get such a ma
jority in city and county, added Mr..
Davis, ''conclusively proves that the peo-
Pile are in favor of the Democratic ad-
ministration. Had it been otherwise we
would not have sustained their confidence.
1t is eminently satisfactory that we should
have won such a fight. Never has there
been such harmony in our party and ev-
eryone has worked Loyalty and faithfully
for the success of the ticket, and we
all are able to participate in the result.
Our candidates were all men of excellent
reputation and we have nothing to re-
proach ourselves with"
Since the result has been known the
principal topic among politicians is the
question of State leadership of the Demo-
cratic party, and the general opinion is
that Mr.. Davis should succeed William
B. Gourley. A very prominent Democrat
had this to say about it this morning.
Mr. Davis by the ability he has dis
played in the management of the cam
paign just ended marks him as the man
for Democrats to fight under Every
Democrat admits that the present COM
rrittee needs reorganizing. We want
changes and we are going to get them. 1t
was deplorable that at the beginning of
the campaign the most woeful lack of
tact was displayed. Men who have con-
tributed to the past successes of the par
ty were sighted and new inexperienced
suit. No breaks like these would have
occurred if Mr.. Davis had taken the
helm
Mr.. Davis smiled when the question of
State leadership was broached. He
wouldn't discuss it. His friends are
determined however, to urge him to ac-
cept the honor when the resignation Of
Mr.. Gourley has been received.
Democrats are still celebrating the vic
tory of the local ticket. The returns in
dicate that there was considerable lot
of cutting and slashing on both tickets.
Indeed, old political hands say that they
never saw such cutting. Until the County
Board of Canvassers make their report all
bets remain unsettled.

Negro Thieves Caught.

Newton, n. c., Feb. 2.-(Special.) -
Policeman E. r. Bost returned from
Statesvile Wednesday night, bringing
with him three negroes and violin for
Garvin & Son, pair of pants for Younr
& Shrum; a pair of shoes for I. ~.
Carpenter; plush cape for }. H. Galth-
err and one for Miss Hattie Yoder. The
negroes had stolen all of these articles
from the different stores except Miss
Hattie Yoders cape, which was stolen
from the front porch of Miss Matte
Cochran's school-room.
The negroes had fled to Statesville with
their stolen goods, but telephone mes
sage was sent to the police there and
they were arrested. They were tried
yesterday evening and are now in Jail
here waiting for the next term of court,
which begins here on the 10Th instant.
There will be more cases against per-
sons for the crime of larceny this term
of court than have been on the docket
for several terms. The criminal docket
this time will be large on account of the
November term of court being for civil
cases only.
