strong man, easily knocked his assailapt

up and started to go away The man on
the ground arose and struck Garvey a

JERSEY CITY DEMOCRATS Win.
STREET AND WATER
BOARD OUSTED BY COURT.

Decision Reversed which Declared UncOn.
stitutional the Act Making the Board
Elective-Bob Dayis's Followers Re.
toice as Lost Jobs Heaye in Sight
The New jersey Court OF Errors and
Appeals handed down decision at Trenton
yesterday afternoon reversing the decision
Of the Supreme Court declaring uncon-
stitutional the act Of 1895 under which MEM
bers Of the street and water board In first
class cities are elected. The decision was
a solar plexus blow to the Republican ad-
ministration in Jersey City, as it will result
in ousting from Office Republican board
appointed by Mayor Mark M. Pagan and
the reseating Of an elective board consisting
of Ave Democrats.
The news was received with great rejoic-
ing in the Democratic camp. The loyal
followers Of Bob Davis threw their hats in
the air, and the janitor at the Davis Asso-
ciation's clubhouse hoisted the American
oolors on the big flagstaff, where they could
be seen from Mayor Fagan's office in the
City Hall.
On Jan. 1, 1903, Mayor Pagan announced
the appointment OF five Street and Water
Board Commissioners under an act OF 1901,
which had been repealed by the Legislature
In 1895. He asserted that the act OF 1895
was unconstitutional. The Democratic cleo
tive board retained Congressman Allan
L. MoDermott He told them to stick
to their posts. Fagan's commission organ
lied, and for time Jersey City had two
boards, but the Republicans didn't attempt
to transact any public business until the
question OF legality Of the board had been
decided.
The Supreme Court decided on March 10,
1904 that the act Of 1895 was unconstitu-
tional, and on March 81 the Democratic
Commissioners moved out, as the appeal
did not act as q stay.
OF Democratic city employees as fast as
they could decide on men for the vacancies.
Nearly 200 Democrats lost their jobs The
great ajority Of them expect to get them
back again under the new order Of things, :,
When the news Of the decision reached
looking for something under the admins
tration boldly entered the rooms Of the Bob
Davis Association and extended their con
gratulations. Some Of these had partici-
pated in the Republican outing OF the n,
They handed up o. each for tickets for the

George T. Bouton, clerk OF the board, will
undoubtedly leave city Official circles when
the old board retires. He is a Democrat,
and has been an employee of the depart
ment for twenty-five years. He took
chances with the Pagan board, and retained
his position.
In Newark Mayor Doremus met the con-
tingency caused by the Supreme, Court
decision declaring the act of 1895 invalid
by appointing the elective board to comply
with the new conditions. The members
of the Street and Water Board will now

THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN.
MIR. Cowferd and John Sharp Williams
Say They Are Confident OF Victory.

Say They Are CONFIDENT OF victory.
WASHINGTON Sept s-Representative
William s. Cowherd of Missouri chairman
OF the Democratic Congress campaign COM
mittee returned to Washington to-day from
New York, where he has been In consulta-
ton with Chairman Taggart Of the national
committee and other campaign managers
in regard to the Congress canvass and the
proposal to remove the Congress commit
tees headquarters from Washington to
New York.
.Our prospects in New York, from what
heard while at headquarters, are extremely
bright" said Mr. Cowherd. "Our people
are very confident. The organization is
getting into shape and there seems to be
an agreement among all factions to work
together for the Parker ticket. The Demo-
Gratis are going to select good man to
nominate for the Governorship OF New YORK
and the State will be found to be perfectly
safe for the Democratic State ticket"
Mr.. Cowherd said he agreed partly with
Chairman Babcock Of the Republican Con-
gress committee about the closeness of the
campaign for members Of the House, but
Der of debatable districts. "He thinks
there are about seventy, said Mr.. Cowherd,
@but I have made reasonable estimate
that there are ncI more than fifty debatable
districts. The other districts are divided
about evenly between the two parties. 1
think that neither party has any advantage
over the other in safe districts, and the
control of the House will go TO the party that
can carry a majority .! half hundred
doubtful districts
With reference to the suggestion, at
trihuted to William F. Sheehan, that the
Congressional committees headquarters
be removed to New YORK, Mr.. Cowherd
said he thought the headquarters would
remain here during the campaign.
John Sharp Williams, the Democratic
leader in the House, reached here last
evening from his home in Yazoo. Miss.
Asked his opinion OF the outlook for the
success of the Democratic party, MIR. Viii
liams said:
Il consider that there is the most sub
stantial basis for anticipation OF coming
victory. The way the Republicans are
Growing over Vermont is not OF the slight
eat importance in the way of a political
straw, for it's hidebound citizens have
merely repeated their usual Republican
performance, a little more emphatically
this time because extraordinary efforts
were made to get out the majority vote.
In other States the trend is all toward
Parker and his chances are growing brighter
every day. New York is hardly In the doubt

ton, and az goes New York 80 are New Jer-

merous public offices, It has been known

BO0Ms FOR GOVERNOR AT ESoPUs
Letters Pouring In Adviaing the Nsmina.
ton Of Jerome. Shepard OF Judge Cullen.

EsoPUs, N. Y, Sept. e-Judge Parker
spent the day in wondering how it hap
pened that Edward NJ. Shepard and William
Travers Jerome had so many friends who
felt called upon to write and tell him that
one Of these two men would have to be
nominated for Governor. From Montauk
Point to Lake Erie the Jerome boomers
and the Shepard supporters have been pour
ing in their unsought advice. The friends
OF Mr. jerome have not hesitated to say
that none but the District Attorney could
lift the wet blanket that judicial dignity
had cast upon the campaign. Mr.. Shepard's
friends have been less frank. but no less
insistent.
Then the Jud &c studied the boom for
Judge Cullen, and tried to decide whether
1t was one of the retiring jokes OF David
B., OF even more serious. OF course. Chief
Judge Cullen would be in a good position
to dodge the gubernatorial nomination,
az Parker did the year Bird s. Coler walked
the coal plank, and the Judge fully ap-
preciates this, but he also considers that
the shibboleth Of party duty might be used
to get Cullen in line.
The strength of the Cullen boom depends
upon the ability of the party leaders to
considered a real boom here is bruited
forth on authority more unimpeachabe
than the affidavit of Mary Jane. Letters
urging his candidacy are swelling the
postal receipts at Esopus, and the question
of his accepting has been considered in
formal conclave from which Judge Parker
alone of the residents Of Rosemount was
absent.
Democratic advisers OF the candidate
have told him that the certainty that the
Republican convention would nominate
Chief Judge Cullen to succeed himself
is going to prove a source OF strength to
the State ticket, and the Democratic nomi-
nation of Cullen for Governor has been
advocated to avoid this. 1t is assumed
that the fight would then be made on strict
party lines, since Judge Werner has al
ready participated in a partisan fight for
the Court Of Appeals. and any advantage
that might accrue from non-partisan
action by the Republican convention would
be dissipated.
Judge Parker spent nearly the entire
day working on his letter Of acceptance.
which has now been completed except for
some alterations that may be made after
public The only visitors to-day were
Judge Denis O'Brien, an Associate Judge
Of the Court of Appeals; Judge Edward E.
Mccall of the Supreme Court, brother
of John Mccall president Of the New York
Life Insurance Company, who recently
came out in support Of President Roosevelt;
William Gorham Rice of Albany, former
United States Civil Service Commissioner,
and William G. Buckley Of New York, a
member of the counsel for Mr.. McCall's
insurance company. Although 1t rained
all day, Judge Parker took his usual horse
back ride, reaching home drenched after
an hours canter.
