After one of the good dinners for which

received several hundred citizens in the
hotel parlors. A few minutes before 8,
MuIlica Hill band, that furnished the
music, led the procession to Green's Opera
House, which was filed, many standing in
the aisles.
/ Hon. Tomas NJ. Ferrell presided at this
meeting and introduced as the first speaker
Mr.. Ernest Northrcp, Of Newark, who
spoke until the arrival oil. Mr.. Katzenback
as O'Clock
As Mr. Katzenbaeh stepped upon the plat
form to address the audience, prolonged
lclapping followed by the hearty cheers sa-
luted him. The candidate referred to his
visit to the county convention and said that
this, his final and promised visit seemed just
like handshake and farewell He said that
this campaign has great interests at state for
the people Of New Jersey, because they are
to say whether the party shall be kept in
power that has not been true TO its trusts,
or whether tits to giye the control Of state
affairs to a party that pledges itself and the
honor of its cannidates to the states welfare
Hereferred to the increase OF expenditures
from 81, 800, 600 in the last year Of Demo-
cratic control to 81, 500 goo Of last year un-
der Republican control and said, I'VE claim
the increase of cost of running the state gov
ernment is due to the extravaganza, reckle-
ness aud prodigality of the Republican par
ty for the last few years. q
Continuing Mr.. Katzenbach referred to
facts which prove conclusiyely the reekIe-
ness extravaganza Of the Republican admin
issration. He told of the clerk of the Su-
preme Court being in his Office but four
hours week and drawing salary of $4,000
a year $50 for each hours service; Of the
Assistant Secretary of State, who not only
held this busy Office but that Of head Of the
DEPARTMENT. Of Motor Vehicles aud drew swo
salaries at the same time We contend
this is not honest, the former mayer of
Trenton said, and the audience cheered
assent. He told of the State Treasurer
being clerk Of Morris County, and condem-
ned the party In power for not requiring
that Office holders should be in their offices
every day.
4 The contract grabs were then taken up,
and the crooked work of Lewis Lawton &
Sons, who had all the fat jobs. He told of
how Lawton said she burned his books, y
when asked for them by the Probing COM
mittee. s'We claim that honest men dom
burn their books, that honest men don't
take such chances, to prevent their books
being examined, . said Mr.. KatzenbaSh
The famous S., 900 bath tub for the gov
ernor was referred to, and the nominee ter
sely said, sBut it takes a big bath tub and
a good one to wash out all the sins of the
Republican party"
4 TeTming the voting machines, Internal
machines, y Mr. .Katzenbach said 4 consider
|
a eyer imposed on the people Of a state. They
should be melted uD into anchors for the
!. oyster smacks of the ocean, the bay and the
Delaware, or to be beat them up into prun-
ing hooks The Republican party is in TIE
practice of putting them in the place where
there is the greatest independent vote so
that cut tickets cannot be voted
d Ia Trenton, he said, the people propose
/ IL. Az, !, 10
Democratic lever.
Mr.. Katzenbach said that if elected the
cleaning out of these machines would be
clearly and thoroughly done. The County
: Boards CT Taxation came in for their share
: Of critism. In closing he said that if
: elected he would.place in Office men who
would be sure they could do their office
work we'll, and who could do their work
! without the hinderance of outside influen-
, ces.
MARTIN j. DEVLIN
I Martin J. Devlin, Of Trenton, who nomi-
i mated Mr.. Katzenbach in the Democratic
Convention, spoke Immediately after the
nominee. He told of how the county
j Boards work, and said that David Baird,
/ himself, on the Board Of Railroad Taxation,
! though drawing a great salary, when IN
vestigated said shat he knew nothing of tax
alton but allowed the railroads TO asses
e themselves.
: He said that in the legislative halls ART
: found men working for railroads, the trolley
companies and gas companies, but there wer,
none there working for the people. He said
: that since 1884 the value Of individual prop
! erty has increased 100 per cent. and in thi
same period the assessed value Of railroad
z property has increased only two per cent
. He referred to the prominent place Col
e Sam Dickinson occupies in the Republican
!, counsels in most soathing language and
Z closed with an earnest plea for general sup
port of the Democratic nominee.
