WILL SCRATCH FACAN

There is reason to believe that many Re-
publicans in the Eighth ward win vote
against Mark Pagan.

ticket am going to scratch" said a
prominent Republican last night who haa

his campaign methods. He is going around

some Democrats are foolish enough to

Two Of the most prominent Republicans
in the county stated this morning that IN
their opinion Mark Pagan. the Republican
Mayoralty candidate did not have a
chance to win. One Of the gentlemen put
Mr.. Smiths majority at 1000 He pre-
dicted that the Democratic candidate
would carry the Ninth ward
II would not be surprised he said, If
Mr.. Smith reduced the Republican ma
iorify in the Eighth ward to less than 300
votes. The people are not fools. Who
could stomach the plea that Fagan IS
working on the people-pleading for votes
on the ground that he Is a Catholic?e
The second man, Ninth warder, stated
that he knew of over two hundred Re-
publ.cans who had pledged themselves to
Mr.. Smith. This means that the chances
of victory in that ward are extremely

FAGAN'S HYPOCRISY.
Letter Of Two Years Ago
Tells the Story.


THE News published on November 8.
1898, letter headed '-Fagan's Hyproc-
risy, which. as being remarkably
apropos, it herewith reproduces:-
To the Editor of s'The Jersey City News: !:
The Republican candidate for Free
holder of the Fifth ward. Mark Pagan,
takes advantage of the favor shown his
candidacy by the Evening Journal" to
parade his honesty, his ability and his
faithfulness 10 public trust, which, 1ooK-
ing through a golden lens, is not above
suspicion. After the preliminary organ
ization of the Board of Freeholders,
what excuse has the candidate to offer
for not joining the business organiza-
ton? His public statement at the time
that he would not subordinate his Re-
pubiicanism by affiliation with Demo-
Gratis, was contradicted by his negotia-
tons when he realized his services were
not necessary for a working majority,
and, at the eleventh hour. he crept in.
This is conclusive proof of incompetence,
inability ana deficiency in not being
equal to- the occasion. If it was wroES
to JOIN the organization at first, it was
equally wrong in the second instance,
and shows the Inconsistency of his ac-
tions.
His first appointment, after joining the
organization was to appoint Thomas
Mansfield, mason, at salary of $3.50
per day. The man never worked a day
as mason, but yet was appointed as me-
chanic, in the face Of the fact that there
is large number of young men In the
ward who gave tine best part of their life
10, f,r,f
rejected BIZ Mark Pagan. A large delega-
ton of bricklayers protested against the
appointment. and it was not until the
county authorities. seeing the appointee
was not qualified. suspended him. But ne
was reinstated. by Pagan, as horse doctor.
from which position ne was also suspena-
ed for Incompetence.
His next appointment was that of pro-
fessional nurse, position heretofore
filled by strictly professional men, regard
less of political affiliations; but it was left
to the Republican Freeholder of the Fifth
Ward, Mark Pagan, to appoint shoe
cobbler' to administer medicine and take
care of the sick and dying.
These are some of his appointments,
with others to be heard from later; and
the public is left to judge the justice and
honesty of them.
With the assurance of a doctor telling
an injured man he has no pain, he says
he is not throwing mud in the campaign
If he does not approve of the ridicule and
mimicking of the Irish people by his
friends, he has done nothing to disapprove
of it. The vile, vicious articles published
in the journal throughout the cam
paign are a glaring and inexcusable mis-
statement of facts and contemplate, per-
sonai abuse of criminal character, in
which there is as little regard for truth
as there is for decency. But the silent
ballot will voice the resentment not only
of Irishmen and Irishmen's sons, but all
lovers of liberty and justice, and elect

COUNTY HEALTH BOARDS WORK
Officials Praised for Their Promp
Attention.

The County Health Board held brief
session yesterday afternoon and received
the reports of its several officers. .Ae
Health Inspector reported that he had
visited the North Hudson families where
typroid had appeared to see If he could
ascertain how the germs of the disease
were communicated, but he had been un-
able to arrive at satisfactory conclusion.
He found, he said, that some of the
stricken families had been using Hacken-
sack water and others well water, but he
did not believe that the disease germs had
been transmitted through either of these
sources. Samples of the ice used by the
afflicted families had been sent to the
State bacterologist at Trenton, who was
making an examination and would report
In a few days.
Mayor Kenny of East Newark in a
communication personally thanked the
Board for its prompt and efficient action
at the time of the recent outbreak of
smallpox in that borough. He said ne
thought it would be good thing if the
county board had full control Of health
matters without being hampered by in
efficient local boards. and suggested II
this could be done an inspector might be
placed in each municipality to report d.
rectly to the county board.
