BINDER ON THE JOB.
Peace Justice Getting Experience in
Tying Matrimonial Knots.

Justice of the Peace Isaac Binder. WHO
also acts as official interpreter in the
Fourth Precinct Police Court, was on duty
today, after spending a few days at the
shore, and one of his first acts was to
notify the press that he has performed
another marriage. OF course, like all the
ceremonies he performs, the recent affair
had interesting features. To begin with
the marriage took place late Saturday
night. after the official had been aroused
from his sleep. at his home, 233 Court
street. by Bernard Levy. who at present
has a real estate office at 30 Broome street.
Binder and Levy are friends and the
latter's real object for calling on Binder
to perform the various marriage ceremonies
Is TO gather experience. for he is a candi-
date for Justice of the Peace on the DEM
ocratic ticket. Binder. however. does not
appear to be wise" and several times Of
late he got up ont of bed and marched to
Levy's place, several blocks away, and
each time Levy served as a witness.
IT'S a cheap way to learn the trick. Z"
said Levy to a friend, today. "but Ike isn't
wise"
Some time ago Binder married the same
couple twice. His latest feat was brought
about in this way: The groom happened to
be an Italian, while the bride was a pretty
Jewess. After Binder % the cere-
nOug III I<h6iAoh nt was ItQutSlSu Nv the
groom to marry him over again according
to the Jewish way. This the justice did
and the groom repeated each word In Yid-
dish after the official. Binder said that
the double act would not cost anything
extra.
The young couple who are now man and
wife are Joseph Marzamon, q years old.
Of 10 Fourteenth avenue. and Rose Stern
berg, 10 years old, Of s. Eleventh avenue.
According to the Justice they made a good
match. Besides Levy the other witness
was Frank Fiore. THE latter was accom-
panied by his sweetheart, who was ex-
pected to be the second witness. Fiore
few days with his girl to get married and
that was the reason bot did not wish to
act as witnesses. we think it might bring
bad luck" said Fiore. 1t Is understood
that all hands kissed the BRIDE Binder

NEGRO DEMOCRATS
CROWD AT SEVENTH WARD
MEETING.
Orator Says Democrats Helped to Win
in Civil War-Negro Freedom
Not Origin of Contest.

An open air political meeting was held
last night, under the auspices of the
young negro Democrats of the Seventh
ward. in front of 217 Bank street. and
many white men stopped to listen to the
speakers, among whom were Edward Bry-
ant. Louis S.. johnson and a man from
Orange, who gave a talk that was heartily
a%pplauded by the negroes. e. J. Du Val,
secretary of the county organization or
negro voters, presided at the meeting.
Here are some of the remarks made by
the man from Orange. a negro of appar-
emily about 30 years old in his plain talk
to the audience:
IT have voted for Republican candidates
in campaigns for a good many years, and
many of you men have voted the Repub-
lican ticket. Negroes have been told so
often that the Republican party gave free
dom to the blacks that our people have
believed 1t. The Republicans did a good
deal for our race from 1862 to 1865, but
they did not free. the slaves alone, for $780,
600 negro soldiers helped on battleields to
do the trick. And there were as many
white Democrats as white Republicans
who fought in the Civil War. / am giving
you facts from history, and will tell you
some things you should know.
The Civil War was waged to save the
Union. not to free the negro slave, which
was an after consideration growing out of
the war. President Lincoln asked the
Southern LEADERS, TO keep their States in
the Union and also keep slavery. His
second proposition to President Jefferson
Davis that the South stay in the Union
and the slaves be freed gradually, that is,
that each slave be freed at the age of
81 years. Mr.. Davis rejected this. Had
he accepted it our people would not have
been free people for centuries.
'fYou see that our race was used to
split the South, and when a crack was
orcned by Lincoln's emancipation procla-
nation the slaves slipped through the
crack and came out into freedom.
What has the Republican party done
for us since? Talked nice and made prom
Uses. The Democrats have done more for
the black men. Republicans abuse Tam
many Hall, but that organization has done
a good deal for our people in New York
city, hundreds Of negroes having been
given good Jobs for years. The Republic
cans have done little for us In Newark,
Essex County and New Jersey.
Italians, Germans, Irish and voters of
other races have been given Offices and
other favors here during the years the
Republican party has been IN power. But
the leaders of the party practically ignore
our people until just before an election,
and afterward they say they had to buy
the negro vote.
1T is not true that the Republicans gave
our people In the South education. 1t was
the Democratic State governments that es-
tabilshed aud support schools there for our
children. Up here In the North our people
are fairly educated. 1t is time we thought
for ourselves, acted Independently, and like
the men of other races. demand and get
recognition from political parties"

Convention-Fight Between Child
and Katzenbach.

TRENTON, Sept. S.-The Demo-
cratic State convention, which will be
held here on Thursday, September IL,
will be composed of 1,210 delegates,

So. Morris, As; Ocean, 26; Passaic. 70;

Union. S., and Warren. 2S.
1t is now conceded that the nomi-
nation lies between ex-Mayor Frank s..
Katzenbach. of this city. n ex-
Judge Francis Child, of Newark. 1t
is expected that Essex County will
come to Trenton with a delegation
solidly in favor of Judge Child, but if
he fails to run well with the other
counties, the Essex vote will be
switched to Mr.. K~atzenbach, and an
effort will be made to land the latter
in the nomination.
