OVER SP0ILs, OF COURSE

The revolt among the decent element
of the Republican party of this county
against the tyrannical and arrogant
bossism of the county machine, OF which
1.-The News" has been showing recently,
has spread to Bayonne. The high hand
ed manner in which the ring secured the
appointment of Cadmus as Postmaster,
when the best element of the party want
ed Morgan Thomas appointed, has caused
much bitter feeling and the friends of
Morgan are up in arms.
One of the most outspoken of these
is Charles L. King, of No. 10 West
Thirty-fourth street. Mr.. Killing was at
one time a member of the Bayonne City
Committee and is now one Of the most
active members of the party in the city.
He is an artist of ability and has been
employed by the National Republican
Committee as a cartoonist He was
deeply interested in the movement for
the appointment of Mr.. Morgan and Was
one of committee that prepared pc
tition to the President asking that he be
made Postmaster. This petition which
was signed by almost every member of
the Bayonne City Committee. was sent
to Congressman Fowler for presentation
to President Roosevelt, but the Congress-
man refused to take it to the White
House. saying that he would not recon-
mend anyone for the office who was not
named by the County Committee. The
machine for reasons of its own named
Cadmus and Morgan was turned down
DIRTY TRICKERY.
''The dirty trickery.v said Mr.. King
when talking of the affair to reporter
Of 'sThe News, yesterday "by which
that old warhorse. Morgan Thomas, was
thrown down by the Hudson county ma
chine alone. would Justify the overthrow
of this two-faced gang of political free
hooters. Mr.. Thomas has an untarnish-
ed record as a soldier and a citizen and
his intelligent, untiring work for the Re
publican party and its organization dur
ing the past twenty-seven years entitled
him to better treatment.
Mr.. Thomas was the only logical can
didate for postmaster from the stand
point of ability and faithful services to
his country, to his party and its organiza-
ton But that counts for nothing in the
estimation of the machine, as they have
use only for renegade Democrats. shyster
lawyers and Republican trimmers, who
have the reputation of selling out the
party whenever it is to their interests to
do so.
EVERY MAN A TRIMMER.
"For the past three years to my knowl-
edge, every man who has received
party patronage in Bayonne has been a
trimmer. caring nothing for principle or
the welfare of the party, but only for the
qualification Of his own selfish greed.
Although / am an ardent believer in
strict party organization methods and am
personally opposed to Independent move
ments as such. / must admit that in or
der to wrest power from these so-called
Republicans, some such movement as
that attributed to Messrs. Baldwin. Nc
EVAN and others would be justifable at
this time.
AFTER FOWLER, TOO.
"Later on, 25,O00 circulars will be
distributed containing Photographic re
productions of letters and documents ex-
posing the two-faced methods of the Re
publican leader and his disreputable
crew. Furthermore, the circular will set
forth the ealibre of the men we now
have in our City Committee, and last but
not least it will show what use the Hon.
Charles n. Fowler has for a man who
fought for his country and worked faith
fully for the Republican party
