CHARGE INCONSISTENCY

Democrats of that section assembled
at Johnson's Hall, where one of the
most enthusiastic meetings in the his
tory of the Second Ward was held.
Mayor Jacob Haussling presided and
introduced the candidates with appro-
pirate and prophetic remarks for each.
Leonard Kalisch severely arraigned
Congressman r. Wayne Parker for his
present support of John Franklin Fort,
the Republican g~ubernatorial nominee.
after having successfully opposed him
for appointment as solicitor-general UNI
der President Benjamin Harrison. Sem
ator Everett Colby was also criticised
for inconsistency in afiliating with
Regular Republicans whom he had de-
nounced for opposing popular legisla-
ton.
He minated that there must be
some price, and said that Senator
Colby, like the rest of the Republicans,
was a CRATER"
Herbert Boggs, of the city law de-
partment, charged that the records of
the county clerks office were poorly
kept, and said that Mr.. Fort was the
candidate of the same old crowd"
Mr.. Boggs said that Mr.. Fort could not
remove the present State executive off,
GERS, for whose remova h people are
clamoring, because of h fact that he
is bound by the same influences that
rule now.
Assemblyman Charles Blohm, of
Hudson, sponsor of the local option
Sunday opening bill, although he is a
total abstainer himself, explained the
nrnxricionc IF tho hill aunrrinr that If
is the solution of ~the-vexing liquor
problem.
Assistant Clerk of the House of As
sembly Myron c. Ernest, of Hudson,
took a fling at Mayor Mark A. Pagan,
of; Jersey City, and put in a good word
for Elmer A. Day, the ward candidate
for alderman for faithful performance
of his duties a an official in the House
of Assembly.
Or. Charles F. Kraemer, candidate
for county clerk; Mr.. Day. DR.. Charles
A. Spain, the candidate for school
commissioner, and Louis S. Johnson,
leader Of the Essex County. Negro DEM
ocrats, completed the list of speakers
who covered very issue of the day.
Preceding the mass meeting the
parade that the Second Ward leaders
had arranged had the entire ward and
The C6IlT6 VI Lie Vlly dSOS. Lille 1lLS
of march was bright with red lights
and bonfires. The meeting was most
enthusiastic, and the leaders predicted
thai the ward would go Democratic.
City Counsel James r. Nugent pre-
scented the Mayor as chairman of the
meeting. There was an outburst of
cheering as he took the gavel.
The Mayor said that it was the first
time that he had ever been called upon
TO preside over UGH a meeting, and
his appreciation of the honor could be
plainly seen.
1.-THE Democratic party is proud and
hopeful this year." said the Mayor,
for we nave a ticket, headed by Frank
8. Katzenbach, that has been made
UP by Democrats. No one can say
that every candidate on the ticket is
not "A man of honesty and straightfor-
ward. Now it is for us to elect them.
THAT must be done right here in the
Second Ward, because, as 1 said last
year, as the Second Ward goes SO
goes the city, county and State"
This statement was particularly
pleasing to the Second Warders, and
it was some time before the Mayor
could proceed. because of the applause,
to introduce Leonard Kalisch, who was
formerly Assemblyman and clerk of
Assembly. He went into political his
tory a little, winding up with a
prophecy that the Democratic ticket
would be elected this year from bow to
J stern.
Taking up Congressman r. Wayne
Parker's plea at the opening of the local
Republican campaign last Monday, in
voking the name of President Theo-
loo To1a-o,,oIf CO &c t0 rraf uofac Mr.
Kalisch grew sarcastic. He ridiculed
the idea and criticized the Congress-
man.
rs this the same Richard Wayne
Parker who went to Washington, after
the election of President Harrison, to
defeat Mr.. Fort in his ambition to be-
come Solicitor General of the United
States? He succeeded, too, his oppo-
sition being based on moral grounds"
Senator Colby" said Mr.. Kalisch,
''gained the respect of voters almost
irrespective of political creed and was
elected to the State Senate because he
opposed the men who had been in con-
troll of his party for years.
"What. / want to know now is why
Colby is one of the most ardent Fort
supporters?
"What has brought about the change
IN him so tnat now ne Is WoIhlhS Aoi
the men that he so rec 'ntly de-
nounced?"
The speaker could not understand
how the Essex Senator could advise
support of the Republican ticket that
contained the ames of Senators who
hitherto opposed every measure of re-
form he advocated during the present
year.
Every one of these measures had the
support Of the Democratic House of
Assembly and was opposed by the Sen
ate
Il tell you, gentlemen, there is no
principle in the Republican party.
There is nothing but graft. This is so
with Senator Colby as with the rest
of them. 1t is necessary that we
should nave a Democratic Governor in
order to get rid of our Secretary of
StateTwho is a disgrace to New Jer-
sey.
Imagine Senator Colby walking
arm in arm with David Baird. the
creature uf the Pennsylvania Railroad,
