NEWARK, Oct. q, 1866 do not
want to 90 to Trenton, at the expense
Of Mr.. Colby's good nape,'' said Julian
A. Gregory, the Democratic candidate
for Senator, in his speech at noon yes
terday in front of the Murphy yarnisll
Company plant at Chestnut and Nc
Whorter streets. 1T must seem queer
to you TO first hear Mr.. Colby on one
day and the next to listen to me. Both
of us are talking on the same issues. but
you all know that they have been in the
Democratic platform for the past four
years, and I myself have been fighting
for limited franchises in that place
known as East Orange, where you can
count the Democrats on your fingers and
toes come not here to attack Mr.. Col
by, and / repeat what l have said. l do
not want to go to Trenton at the ex-
pense of Mr.. Colby's good name, but he
claims that sincerity is the issue"
Mr.. Gregory then attacked Mr.. Colby s
record in the Legislature and referred to
the Republican candidates statement
that lie had seen new light on some aues-
tons.
Now, want to ask him what was the
light he saw said Mr.. Gregory. Look
at the men back of him-Mr. Riker. Of
Orange, and Mr.. Gibson, of this city,
who was once Democrat, but who be-
came a Republican when he came down
here Just because Newark was Repub-
liean eity.r~~Fhen lock at Mr.. Martin.
Why, he is so anxious to become pub
lie office-holder that he is running for
two offices at the same time. He is on
the Assembly ticket. and for fear he
won't get elected he is also candidate
for Alderman"
Mr.. Gregory dwelt at length on the
limited franchise and equal taxation
questions, and read Mayor Fagan's fam
Gus letter, written to former Governor
Murphy, scoring the Legislature of 1904.
Finally he said that he understood some
of his hearers wanted to question him,
and said he was ready to answer them.
What good it either party, mean
Democratic or Republican, doing for the
workingman? asked a leather worker in
the crowd, who had walked block and
half from Strausss factory
"Wel, my friend" responded the Sen
atorial candidate, that is somewhat of
national issue. but the same question
has often come over my mind. The
Workman of today is not huch better
off than he was 100 years ago, but
think he is getting better wages.
Nobody else wanted to ask questions,
and Mr.. Gregory announced that Isaac
Shoental, candidate for Sheriff, would
be unable to speak, at the same time pay
ing tribute to that gentleman.
At the conclusion of his speech, Mr..
Gregory paid a visit to the South Street
Public School, where he taught night
school three years ago. He was vel
coined by Principal George R. Pinkham
and greeted by all who knew him.
When the candidates wagon drew up
in front of the yarnish works number
of small boys climbed up the tree boxes
ono Of which gave way and droo oped Ito
the gutter. Mr.. Gregory walked aver
and picked it up and asked for hammer
and nails. When assured hy a workman
that it would be repaired Mr.. Gregory
lifted the timber out of the gutter to q
place of safety.
