am going to get it. No man in this au-
dience will ever regret that he voted for
Seymour for Sheriff Mr.. Seymour did
not forget to say twice as much for Mr..
Henry, the Mayoralty candidate, as he
put in for himself.
Mr.. Henry was given splendid oya-
tion. Like all great business men he is
a, man who thinks much and talks less.
He said he realized that he was can
didate for Mayor for the people of the
Fifth Ward, as well as all the other
wards. He promised to guard their in
terests and to give the whole city good
and economical administration. He al
luded to the fact that he knew what it
was in years gone by to work for $1.50
day and that experience had led him
to become for all the years past a con-
sistenb Democrat. Mr.. Henry, at the
conclusion of his speech, was given as
great an ovation as that accorded TO M.
Pagan a few nights ago, though Mr..
Pagan lives but few doors away.
Counsellor Joseph Tumulty, one of the
best known residents of the old Fifth
and one of the brainiest and most elo-
quent of young lawyers. was the next

of the city had not been placed in the
hands of those possessed of the neces-
sary executive ability, and that it was
time now to say TO those who have
wrongly administered its affairs: you
have gone far enough. You shall go no
farther" He declared that the fnan-
cial condition of Jersey City had never
before been in such a deplorable coadi-
tion than at present .'The big fnanc;ers
of Wall Street, even, place no confidence
in the men in control of our city affairs
and we find it next to impossible to sell
bonds,' he said. Under the Hoos adj
ministration our bonds realized the high,
est price in the history of the CITY," Tn.
speaker then compared the difference be-
tween the prices brought for city bonds
under the Pagan administration and
those purchased under a Democratic adj
ministration, and when he blamed Mr..
Record for the low price paid for city
bonds there were cries of: Hes the
Mayor" Give it to him, Joe!v
Mr.. Tumulty told of the speech Mr..
Record made at dinner at the ST. Dem
is Hotel in New York. upon which ocea-
sion some of the most learned Justices
of New Jersey and members OF the bar
were gathered to discuss problems of the
profession in which, they We're engaged,
and Mr.. Record. one of the speakers,
told story of how he once bribed "a
funny faced Irishman" in the matter of
a certain water contract. The story
said the speaker, was published and re-
copied in nearly every paper i'll the eoun-
ty. "Let him who is without guilt
cast the first stone," said the speaker.
Mr.. Tumulty also ferecly criticised
Mr.. Record for his allusion to Mcclellan
in recent meeting at Elks' Hall, and
b;S a++on,o+ - hod;rn +ho l,,efro of n
man who was jewel in the historical
diadem of the State. He told how Mr..
Record was born in Maine and when he
found he couldn't change the politics of
that State he lit on New Jersey to re-
generate the Democratic policies of this
city, of his flop to the Republican camp
and his decision to take up Fagan's
cause and regenerate others.
Mr.. Tumulty also fercely criticised
tion of equal taxation originated in the
brain of the immortal Thomas Jefferson,
the founder of the Democrdtic party.
and was handed down through genera
tions to Leon Albeit (outburst of ap-
plause), and from him to others until it
was again taken up by John Wahl
Queen, James Fielder and James Ham
i'll.
The speaker closed his eloquent re-
marks by paying splendid tributes to the
various candidates on the Democratic
ticket. but put in an especial plea Tor
support for Frank Donnelly, candidate
for Street and Water Commissioners.
