JUDGE w. N. RUNYON.

The most remarkable demanstra-
ton ever made in honor of any CITY
q of Plainfeld was accorded to
Judge WilliamtN. Rdhyon at the Col
byites mass meeting last night when
he announced himself as a candidate
to serve the people In the assembly.
The bewildering scene was one that
must have made his good rather,
Judge Nelson Runyon, feel proud
that he has a son who has so won the
meritad regard of his fellow citizens.
When the young Judge appeared
before a veritable sea of faces ne was
greeted with a spontaneous outburst
of enthusiasm and when he had con-
;luded his brief remarks the crowd
broke loose again in wild applause.
Especially f~iattering was the tribute
When IL is considered that men OF
lf1uence and wealth, clergymen, doc
ors, lawyers, bankers, brokers and
merchants as we'll as hundreds OF
skilled mechanics, all sober thinking
men, We'd with one another in pay
ing homage to the man who had de-
elined a proffered %judgeship with
amoluments of $4,000 a year in or
der that he might better consecrate
himself to the cause of good govern
ment.
While the tribute paid to Runyon
was a most sincere andenthusiastic
one, it is to be noted that Senator
Colby, Mayor Pagan and Corporation
Counsel Record came in for unusual
donors, the big audience heartily APP
plauding their every expression.
Veteran politicians, who have attend
cd political gatherings for many de-
cades, said that no such a demonstra-
ton was ever witnessed in Plaintield
and that augured we'll for the success
of the popular young judge who then

(From the Bridgeton Evening News
1t is not too much to say that the
present is Governor Edward G.
Stokes opportunity to please the peo-
ole of his county as never before;
more than that, it is opportunity to
satisfy their just demand and by so
doing place himself more strongly
than ever in affections and esteem.
That the News has correctly re-
presented the great mass of the peo-
pie of this county in the stand 1t has
taken in local political matters of
late there can be no question. Evil
dence of this can be found on every
hand. Furthermore, the people are
very much in earnest in their demand
that one-man power in the political
affairs of this county be abolished,
and that speedily, and they ask the
governor to take such decisive action
as shall tend to this end.
With an income from salaries and
''perquisites'' estimated at over $5,.
900 per year most of it from office
holding, they think Manager" Tyler

that of debating through Senator

Taxes, has aroused popular feeling as
seldom before.
The people want "a square deal
in the politics of this county; they
want to be properly represented. As
sturdy American freemen should do,
they resent the autocratic methods
and misrepresentation to which they
have for a long time been subjected;
they are exceedingly weary of it.
But, with all of this, the people
have faith in their chief executive
a governor from this county and well
acquainted with the county, its peo-
pie and their desires. They would
like to see him sen TO United States
senate and they do mot want this
feeling Of LOYALTY weakened by cont
tinued Difference to the Man of Many

REFORM IN MIDDLEsEX.

(From the Newark Sunday CALI
Perhaps no community in the state
would benefit as much by the defeat
of ring rule and the success pt the
Colby movement as .Middlesex. ItNJhas
had a boss system more corrupt, sell
fish and dictatorial than any other,
and it has been of a mean and petty
character, without a redeeming viz
tue. The control of the local govern.
ments and of the county's interest in
the state has been not only for the
benefit of the few, but to the direct
injury of the public, and every de-
partment, from the courts down, a
suffered from its effects. Boss Strong,
the recognized head of the system,
has accepted the challenge to a trial
of strength, by insisting upon the re-
nomination of State Senator Jackson,
a poor tool and one of the senator's
who have most persistently opposed
state reform. The county owe the
state the duty of sending a better
mar to the legislature, but 1t wv
itself a greater duty in defeating
Strong and cleaning its W house.

LIVES

A Waterman is needed at the
Smith street crossing of the Central
railroad during the stay of the car
nival. Thousands of people visit
that place every night and hundreds
of lives are endangered.
The railroad, which values a divi-
dend on its stock more highly than
human life, does not maintain a
Waterman after s o'clock at night.
But that is just the time the crowd
is gathering. The danger increases
as the hours pass up to ten or eleven
o'clock.

THE WATER BOARD DEAL.

An Interesting transaction on the
part of the water board is told of in
tcAs-aNEWs. There has been SO
much said about the purchase of land
at Runyon from Asbury Fountain at
$500 an acre that the NEWS investi-
gated and, as it is all a public matter,
as the taxpayers money is being
spent, the NEWS gives it all in de-
tail, that all who read may judge.
The question naturally arises, why
did the city need this land when it
already possessed all the necessary
rights without actual title?
Why did the water board, in evil
dent haste, buy this land at several
times the price which, in all proba-
bility, 1t would have cost under con-
demnation proceedings?
Why, IL the land was to be bought,
was not a suitable and specific deed
to the property secured?
These are questions the people
have a right to ask and it is the duty
of the water board to answer them.
Surely the whole proceedings are
very strange and there should be less
haste in closing the deal. Such mat
tiers should be more thoroughly in
vestigated. The people have put up
this $15,500, which it is proposed to
turn over to Asbury Fountain for
some swamp land, the exact amount
of which does not seem to be known,
and they have a right to know what
they are getting in return.
