The Jersey City news., 1906-01-02

One would magine that the Mayors
reception was for women and children
only. There were few politicians in
the gathering who had been fa-
yored by the Mayer in one way or an
other and men who had sbeen promised
places and who were foolish enough to
believe that the promises were made to
be Kept. These latter waited patiently
for the opportunity to look the Mayor in
the fact and to say something that insight
recall to his memory conversations that
took place during the recent campaign.
The Jersey City news., 1906-01-02

Disappointment could be read in the
faces of the place-hunters when they
emerged from the Mayors office. Many
Of them lost themselves in the crowds
of Pagan Republicans and Pagan DEM
ocrats in other parts of the building.
while not few strolled down to City
Collector Fry's Office where they found
the surroundings more agreeable.
The Jersey City news., 1906-01-02

While there was noticeable absence
of prominent Republicans here and there
in the large crowd that filed the lower
corridor leading to the Collectors Office
could be seen Dickinson or organization
Republican. They were merely on-look-
ers and had no particular interest in
what was going on in the Mayors office
Some of them were friendly enough with
Collector Fry to pay him the compli-
ments of the season. and there were
some who did not hesitate to express
themselves as not giving fig for the
whole bunch of Fagani.es. Their pres
ence in the City Hall was more out of
curiosity than to shake hands with the
men whom Col. Dickinson classes as a
."lot of political ingrates."
The Jersey City news., 1906-01-02

To show just how wide IS the breach
between the Fagan aud Dickinson Re
pnblicans it is only necessary to refer to
an incident that set all politicians-not
alone Republicans, but Democrats as
well--talking. Sheriff Kaiser, whose 10y
atty to the organization to which he owes
his nomination and election, has caused
the Faganites to look upon him with dis
favor. was one of the spectators in the
Aldermanic Chamber while the Board Of
Aldermen was in session. When the
meeting yas over number of Faganites
led by Edward Mitchell, who was red
hot Dickinsonite had got him the job of
sergeant alarms of the County Court,
crowded around him and accused him of
Throwing them down" Kaiser smiled
derisive,y at Mitchell and told him a few
raings that he would prefer not to have
heard. political iDgrate,'' trimmer
and -four -husher" were a few of the hot
ones that the Sheriff handed out and
which were relishei by the small but Sc
iect audience. Mitchell became white
with rage and it was all he could do to
restrain himself This expressed opinion
Of those who heard the run in" was
that Kaiser had made "a monkey out of
Mitchell.
A few minutes later the Sheriff, as
though he was boarding the lion in his
den. made his way to the Office of City
Collector Fry Happy New Year, Ed.
he said as he walked toward the man he
Il going to succeed Is chairman Of the
County Committee. His right hand was
extended. Fry looked at him for mo-
/, ment. muttered something IKE you are
too clese to Dickinson to suit me, and
turning on his heel walked away, refus-
| ing the proffered hand.
This is no place eor loyal Republi-
cam remarked the Sheriff and he walk
| cd out of the Office. Discussing the incl
| dent several prominent Republicans
agreed that the Faganites were the hard
st losers that ever engaged in politi-
cal contest. 80.
