DAVIS SAYS 10000
Democratic Majority In
Hudson County Will Be
the Biggest Yet.
FIRST GUN TONIGHT
Big Meeting at st. Peters
Gourley to Pre-
side.
FIRST GUN TONIGHT

Democratic Leader Robert Davis had
this to say this morning concerning the
political outlook in Hudson County,
1.-The reports from every section of
Hudson County indicate that for every
Democrat who can be frightened by the
silver bug-a-boo, two Republicans who
voted for Mckinley in 1886 will vote for
Bryan this year. OF course, we are
thankful for the deep interest taken by the
Republican press in Democratic harmony,
but the effort to find dissatisfaction is
really amusing.
In twenty-five years 1 have never
known the Democratic party of Hudson
county to be more united, and you may
put our majority here down at not less
than 10000. The balderdash about a fifty
cent dollar does not scare anybody, be-
cause no one really believes that the
Democratic or any other party will de-
base the currency of the country. The
real issues are Trusts and Imperialism,
and the people know they cannot get re-
lief from the aggression of consolidated
capital from the party that has not moved
a step in the right direction during the
four years it has been in absolute power.
Mark Hanna says there are not any
trusts; but it would be interesting to ex-
anime the cashbooks of the National Re-
publican Committee on this question. 1t
is safe to wager that there will appear
in that book contributions from every
monopoly formed to control the neces-
saries of life.
THE speech of Carl Sehurz on the
question of Imperialism will make thou
sands of Democrats in any State in the
Union Our German-American fellow citi-
zens understand the question and when
they express themselves next month, Mr..
Mckinley will be sorry that he did not
take Senator Sewell's advice and leave
the Philippine Islands alone.
1.-THE campaign in Hudson County will
be formally opened at St. Peters Hall,
tonight, and Republicans who want to get
at the real issues of the hour should at
tend. There will also be given an objec.
lesson in Democratic harmony that will
show how little strife they have been
able to stir up in our ranks. After cleo
ton Mr.. Mckinley and the wild and roar
ing Teddy" will have plenty of time to
sadly contemplate the remark of Presi-
dent Lincoln that you can fool all the
people some of the time, and some of the
people all the time, but you can't fool
all the people all the time. 1 guess that
the man who did all the fighting at San
Juan Hill and who whipped the Spanish
army single handed is already feeling the
breeze of Salt River on his fevered brow.
Otherwise he might be able to make a
speech without insulting his audience"
Mr.. Gourley. chairman of the Democra
tic State Committee, win preside at the
meeting tonight in st. Peters Hall.

to adopt this method. We have tried
it before in Colorado and in the east

we were successful, as we ruined the
business of the company for the time
