A kick once caused a big blaze in Chi
cago and the kick of a local letter car
rier promises disastrous results for GER
tain Hudson county Republican leaders.
The investigation by Post Office inspec-
tors from Washington of repeated com
plants about the wild and Woolley meth
eds of conducting Uncle Sam's business
in the Post Office will hurl some people
from power. and their fall will be hailed
with joy by a great many. Not few
county committeeman say that when the
time comes they will gladly assist in
driving the Objectionable leaders into COW
entry.
I'VE are tired of this government of our
party in this county by a handful of pro-
from one position into another" was the
remark by a well known committeeman
from a ward ON the Hill. There are
about five of them in all, and for the past
ten years they have done nothing but oc-
cupy positions. They get all the places
and we provide the means to help them
To achieve this they have repeatedly sold
US out and they would do the same

NO wonder the State leaders have no
confidence in these local fellows. Does
Governor VOORHEES, ever pay any at

When interviewed by a News reporter
last night in regard to the statements
made in local newspaper on Saturday
that certain campaign contributions
reached his hands, Mr.. Michael Schultz,
Jr., treasurer of the Republican County
Committee, made the following state
ment: Tt seems like a waste of time for
me to talk. III tell you the truth, but
your paper is pounding Woolley in a very
dirty way, and it will not publish the
truth"
When questioned in regard to a check
for 5000, which it was said Governor
VOORHEES, had sent the committee. Mr..
Schultz said:
IN the latter part of October. 1898, I
received in the regular channels from the
State Committee 5000. Who gave the
money I do not know, but I got it from
the State Committee in cash, and the
entry on my books will show it. Whoever
says anything to the contrary lies, and if
you want stronger language, they tell a
damn lie. The person who made that
statement did not know what he was talk
ing about"
He was next asked if he knew anything
about a remark to the effect that en-
ployes of the Post Office had sent con-
tributions of $40 addressed to him but
had never received receipts.
That is another lie, and it could never
be proved. but if the maker of that state
nent will give me the name of clerk or
anyone who never received receipt for
contributions to the County Committee
will be the first one to back the man
in an investigation and do all in my power
to find out who got it. In every instance
when contribution is received by me,
even for the small sum Of s1.O0, a receipt
is Immediately forwarded to the contrib
utor. There have been times when have
been too busy to attend to my mail for a
day or so and then l have Immediately re-
ceived letters asking for receipts from the
contributors. It would be a. most foolish
piece of business for anyone to intercept
any contribution for the County Commit
tee. as. it would surely be found out, and
Won can take my word for it that the per-
son doing it would stand no chance of get
ting of without hearing from the commit
tee and myself.
NO sir, don't you believe that contribu-
tions have been intercepted because they
have not, and want to repeat again that
if anyone will come forward and make a
statement to the effect that he has sent q
contribution to me and never received 9
receipt for it, no matter to whom he gave
the money addressed to me, ! will do al
il my power TO find out why it did moi
reach me-
