EQUAL TAXATION CHEERED

Dover, Oct. 2f, 1904 Charles G.
Black, Democratic candidate for COVER
nor, was received with great enthusiasm
on his first appearance in Morris county
yesterday. His reception at Dover to-
night was unsurpassed
The streets We're lined with voters
and taxpayers, who cheered him from
the hotel to the meeting place. Fire
works We're not spared, and the hall was
crowded with enthusiastic men, who
cheered him to the echo.
Mr.. Black, in his speech, referred do
the railroads in the town of Dover.
There are six miles of them, valued at
$465,000 and the revenue the city de-
rives from them is $57415, but under my
proposition the railroad corporation will
be compelled to pay $15,577, and the
money shall be devoted to this town
which affords it protection
..This railroad is owned and operated
by the Delaware, Lackawanna and Wes-
tern company, whose stock sells for $3.50,
and which pays dividend of Z per cent.
Why should not this corporation be
obliged to shoulder some Of the burden
imposed upon the people?
'.Since l arrived in Morris County
have been asked if l would approve any
legislation that would affect injuriously
Lake Hopatcong, and'I take occasion to
tell the people of this county that if am
elected Governor, and | hope your votes
will help to place me there, will not ap-
prove of any legislation that will affect
the interests of the people of Morris
County.

is estimated that fully 5000 voters
heard the speeches of Mr., Black.
The other speakers We're James E.
MARITIME and Henry Y. Condiet-ef Jersey
| City Mr. MARITIME in his speech, con-
| tradicted the statement that the high
tariff has increased the wages of the
laboring man, but said the increase was
due entirely to labor organizations The
i greatest monstrosity of the present age
was our colonial government, which
enacts laws for free men in one section
and people deprived of suffrage in an
/ other. In attacking his opponent,
Charles N. Fowler, Mr.. MARITIME de-
clared that ne was present at only three
meetings Of the last Congress and at
a fourth meeting he was goaded on BY
the sergeant-at-arms.
do the people of this district want
such representation in Congress? Can
i such man look after the interests of
his people? His acts have shown that
he mas fostered the trusts, and he has
commended that high tariff, which allows
the trusts to sell their commodities at a
lower price in Europe than they do in
this country.
Mr.. MARITIME is well known throughout
