Lincoln Engine Company members

discuss the action of the council and
to appoint janitor. 1t was decided
that for the present they would let
matters rest as it was evidently a
matter of no. enough money. A.

An experiment is being tried by
the company. Heretofore, when an
alarm sounded, it has always taken
some time to get up steam. To save
all this time, gas pipes have been laid
to the engine house and yesterday
a gas generator was put in. The
pipe is run under the steamer and the
water in the boiler is now kept warm
by the gas flame. When an alarm
sounds now the water is almost to
the boiling point and a fire once
started gets steam up quickly. One
night soon they will have drill and
test to see how the scheme works.

Resolutions Adopted At the City
Convention Of Republican Party

Following are the resolutions
adopted at the city convention of the
republican party last night:
Resolutions.
BE IT RESOLVED, that we, rep
resenting the republicans of the City
of Perth Amboy, in convention as
sembled, indorse every paragraph in
the platform adopted by the republi-
can county convention, and reiterate
the declaration that Middlesex county
has done wisely in getting rid of the
cumbersome and eXtrayagant board
of freeholders The five candidates
placed in nomination for the Office
of freeholders are all men of excel
lent character and ability. Theil
election will result in a great reduc-
ton of the county taxes. We heart
lily recommend that all citizens, ir-
respective of party, cast their votes
for the republican candidates foi
county freeholders, especially in
view of the fact that the county tax
es levied against this city have in
creased during the past few years
from about thirty thousand to near
ly sixty-siX thousand dollars. This
large increase is entirely due to the
extravaganza of the democratic board
of freeholders, therefore it is the
duty of every city taxpayer to vote
for a change in the administration
Of our county affairs.
Sheriff Important.
The election of a republican sher-
iff is as important at this time as is
the election of the five county free
holders, for upon him will devolve
the selection of grand jurors, who
may be called upon to take action in
matters pertaining to acts committed
by the present democratic board of
freeholders. Andrew S. Church is a
stalwart in the republican ranks;
loyal and true to the precepts of his
party; a successful business man for
whom every voter in the republican
ranks should consider it an honor to
vote.
AS the result of the last November
election, our city government passed
out of the control of the democratic
party and its policy OF inaction and
lincompetency. We glory in the ex-
cellent performance of the duties
that have fallen upon the heads OF
our present republican mayor and
aldermen, and the pleasure realized
that every obligation and promise
made by the republican party when
it asked the confidence of the voters
of our city at the last election, have
been fulfilled. We feel more than
confident that the people at this cleo
ton will indorse the nominees of this
convention, and return them to the
Offices of trust that they have so ably
filled, that the Improvements planned
may be accomplished in a successful
and business-like manner as have
those completed Improvements made
during the past year.

fairs, from the Office Of mayor down,
have been conducted on strictly busi-
ness lines, resulting in a lowering of
our tax rate from $2.25 per hundred
dollars to $2.t2, a saving to the tax
payers of thirteen points. This saw
ing is largely due to the intelligent
and capable work of the republican
board of assessors, appointed by a
republican mayor, who should be
complimented on his selection of as
SCISSORS.
1t is with great pleasure that we
call the attention of the voters to the
fact that every department of the
city government has much to show
for the expenditure of the peoples
money Under the able leadership
of the honorable John Pfeiifer, the
present alderman-at-large business
methods have been applied in the
management of all city affairs, and,
in consequence, the city is gradually
recovering from the chaotic condition
left by the previous democratic ad-
ministration.
Praise for Mr.. Stacey.
The street committee, with the aid
of its able street commissioner, has
performed marvellous work in re-
pairing and paving the numerous
streets of the city. Their work Is
greatly to be commended, and the
people should en- masse, vote for the
reelection of the chairman of that
,,,,,, ~, ;4too M, ctocox- of tha cncnud
ward
The chairman of the committee on
poor, with the aid of his active and
conscientious overseer, have sue
ceeded in placing that department,
with its buildings. in excellent condi-
ton, and is to be congratulated for
the business principles upon which
all his duties as aldermen have been
conducted. 1t is strongly urged that
the voters irrespective of party, rally
around so able a representative as he
has proven to be. that he may be re-
turned to his seat in the city council
to guard the interests of his consti-
tuents of the sixth ward.
The republican candidate for al
derman nominated in the fourth
ward is yet untried but will in every
way measure up to the high standard
of the present republican members
of the board. 1t is earnestly hoped
that the voters of the fourth ware
will appreciate so excellent a man
and by his election strengthen the
party's power in the board of alder
men

Declare Assembly Representa-

ONLY FEDERAL CENSUS.
Atlantic and Bergen Counties

Special to the Evening News:

]
TRENTON, Oct 1S-Governor
Stokes and the other state republican
leaders in this city have considered
the proposition to reapportion the
members of the state assembly under
the state census just completed and
their conclusion is that no reappor-
| tionment can be made under state
census. This blasts. the hopes of At
lantic and Bergen counties of being
given an additional assemblyman,
and also saves Cumberland county,
the home of Governor Stokes, from
losing one.
Section three, of Article four of
the state constitution gives the only
authority for the appointment of the
members of the assembly 1t says:
The general assembly shall be COM
posed of members annually elected
by the local voters of the counties,
respectively, who shall be apportion-
ed among the said counties as nearly
as may be according to the number
of their inhabitants The present APP
Iportionment shall continue until the
next census of the United States
shall have been taken, and an appor-
tionment of members of the general
assembly shall be made by the legis-
lature at its first session after the
next and every subsequent enumera-
ton or census, and when made shall
remain unaltered until another
enumeration shall have been taken;
provided that each county shall at
all times be entitled to one member,
and the whole number of members
shall never exceed sixty"
State Census Does Not Apply.
While this gives no positive state
ment that the state census is not to
apply, the view taken by Governor
Stokes and the other leaders is that
at the time the state constitution was
adopted no state census was being
taken, and no provision had been
made for one; therefore the only
constitutional census was the nation
al one The fact that a state census
was provided for subsequently, they
claim, does not altar the question.
They say also that if the state cen
sus is to be taken as a basis for re-
apportionment, nothing would pre-
vent a party from ordering state
census at any time in order to gerry
mander the state.
Figured on the census OF 1900,
which was ,SS3,669, each assembly
man, averaging the whole state, rep
resents 81 1884 citizens. But because
the assemblymen are elected by coun-
ties the true representation varies
widely from that. TO illustrate: At
lantic county with a population in
1900 of 46,402 has one assembly
man, so that based on the state av
erage Assemblyman Elvins has stood
for an oyerplus in representation of
15.00S.
According to the new census New
jerseys population is 2,147,532, Civ
ing an average representation per as
semblyman throughout the state of
35,792. The present population of

THE next morning there were wig
