Democrats Met in Hall Avenue

Manifested by All Present.
THE ADDRESSES MADE.

1t is certain that the democrats of

mapping this fall at election time if
they can help it, for, as told in the
NEWS from time to time, at the diff
ferent meetings of democratic clubs
hundreds of democrats have turned
out, but last night they did them
selves IseJad. The greatest crowd
yet was present at the meeting held
in August Mussigbrodt's hall, As Hall
avenue, to help organize a democrat
ic club in North Amboy.
When the meeting was called to
order shortly after s o'clock the hall
was packed with democrats from the
second, third and sixth wards The
Sixth Ward Democratic Club was or
ganized and the following officers
were elected: President, Dennis
Flynn; secretary, James Bird.
After the election addresses were
made by number of local and out
of town speakers. They all urged
the democrats of this city to get to-
gether and do things up in the right
style this fall When the crowd left
they had all enthusiastically agreed
to help the cause along. The next
meeting of the club will be held
Thursday night, June Z, in the same

STATE STREET
IN BAD SHAPE.
Contractor Has Not Yet Resumed
the Laying Of Bricks Which
Was Stopped Last Winter.
MAY BEGIN MONDAY

Residents of upper State street are
wondering when Contractor Sweeten,
of Trenton, who has the contract for
putting down the brick pavement on
that thoroughfare, will resume the
work which he stopped early last
winter because of the cold weather.
1t was thought that the work would
have been resumed weeks ago, but
nothing has been done in the matter
and, in the mean time, a number of
the bricks have been stolen and 9th
ers have been thrown across the side
walks and into the roadway. This
morning a gang of men was started
to work to pick up as many of the
bricks as they could find in the road
or on the sidewalks and place them
back on the pile.
When Sweeten was first awarded
the contract he did not rush things
along at "a lively rate and the winter
was here before half the work was
done. AS soon as the bad weather
set it work was stopped and the rea-
son given was that it was impossible
to go ahead with the road until the
weather settled down.
A NEWS reporter visited upper
State street yesterday afternoon and
found it in shameful condition. 1t
is said that Sweeten will try to get
men to work Monday morning The
residents of upper States street say
that they have heard this, but that
the rumor has been current so often
tnat the work was to be resumed and
nothing has come of it, that they will
believe it when they see the men at
work and not before.
If the work is not started within
short time it is understood that the
property owners will call the matter
to the attention of the board of al
dermen.

Mass Meeting Of All the Trades
Was Held in Washington
Hall Last Night.
ALL WERE ENTHUSIASTIC
Meeting Called Under Auspices of
the Carpenters to Explain to the
Other Trades the Situation From
Journeymcn's Point of View
Out of Town Speakers Made Adj
dresses-AIl Trades Give Support.

Hundreds of mechanics from al
most every trade in this city attend
ed the monster mass meeting in
Washington hall, Fayette street, last
night, under the auspices of the
Brotherhood of Carpenters and join
ers of America, Local No. 65. From
all reports the representatives were
given the clear position of the car
penters and joiners of this city, who
are out on a strike, and they one and
all declared that they were with the
strikers.
The Speakers.
The meeting was called to order
about $3.50 o'clock by James Done
hue, the business agent of the car
penters. Mr.. Donehue was elected
chairman of the meeting, and he in
troduced as the first speaker of the
evening, Samuel Bottorill, president
of the state organization of the Bro
therhood of Carpenters and Joiners
of America. He spoke on unionism
and told of things most interesting to
union men. The applause that greet
ed him when he had finished was
great. Other speakers were Organic
er A. A. Quinn, of the Carpenters
Union; Thomas Doran and William
w. Sellers, of the Masons and Brick
layers Union. A number of other
Representatives of trades made short
addresses. 1t was successful meet
ing all the way through.
Situation Unchanged.
Affairs are about the same between
the boss carpenters and the journey
men carpenters. The union claims
that 1t has calls for so many men to
do odd jobs about the city and for
men who want to go out of town that
it is keeping them on the hustle to
supply men, but that they are ready
to meet all demands.
Bosses are still at work on the old
postoffice building and they seem to
be making considerable headway.
They expect to complete the job with
in a short time and then other me-
chanics are to start to work.
The boss carpenters and journey
men both agree that the trouble will
be long drawn out. The bosses, it is
expected, will put on any one whom
they can get to work, while the jour
neymen are taking all the jobs, both
large and small, that come along.

ROOSEVELT, May 1S.-If the in
terest manifested at last nights pub
lie meeting, held for the purpose of
nominating a citizens ticket for the
election next Tuesday can be taken
as a standard, it is evident that the
people of the new borough, formerly
Carteret and Chrome, are going to
take a lively hand in running the
growing place and in placing good
men at the helm.
The ticket named, after a session
from o'clock until 1 o'clock this
morning, is headed by Joseph A. Her.
man, as foretold in yesterdays
NEWS He is democrat and former
chairman of the woodbridge town
ship committee. -Four of the six
councilmen are republicans and two,
democrats. Herman was nominated
DevereauX, republican, for collect
or.
The Ticket.
The fall ticket, against which oppo-
sition is though highly unlikely, is as
follows:
For mayor-Joseph A. Herman, d.
For assessor-Charles A. Brady, d.
For collector-Thos. Devereaux, r.
For councilmen-John K. Bryan,
r.; Herman Gerke, r.; Christian
Fisehback, r.; William Radley, d.;
Patrick Demlea, d.; Robt. Jeffries, r.
There were no contests for the
nomination for assessor and coun-
cilmen The voting for the assessor
ship nomination stood as follows:
Charles A. Brady, d., IA; Edwin S.
Quin, d., 81. There were four or
five tickets in the field but the candi-
dates were so intermingled that the
total number of those for the asses
sorship was but two and for council
manic nomination, but nine. The
balloting resulted as follows: John
K. Bryan, r.; 175; Herman Gerke,
r., 161; Christian Fischback, r., 161;
William Radley, d., 100; Patrick
Demlea, d., 1853; Robert Jeffries, r.,
1876; Emil Wilhelm, 100; Jacob
Steinberg, r., So; Adam CARRIER, 27.
Quin May Yet Run.
1t is barely possible that e. S.
Quin may run for the assessorship on
his own hook but this is rendered
improbable by the fact that he was
outvoted more than to 1 at last
nights meeting when fully half of
the new boEough's total vote was rep
resented.
The meeting was held at Kish's
hall and was attended by about 800
men. 1t was called to order about 9
O'Clock, Peter Finegan, the republi-
can leader, acting as chairman, and
Samuel Williams as secretary. The
discussions and voting were warm
and extended and it was 1 O'Clock this
morning before adjournment was
taken.
The special election next Tuesday,
May %, will be held at the lookup
from am. until z pm. The cleo
tion board is composed of William
II. Walling and William B. Keller,
republicans, and James A. Walsh and
