BIG RALLY IN
NORTH AMBOY
Republicans Hold a Mass Meet
ing in Pulaski Park Which is
Largely Attended.
SPOKE TO THE FOREIGNERS

Republicans of the fifth and sixth
wards united last night in holding
the banner rally of North Amboy.
In spite of the pouring rain the
voters, both American and foreign,
turned out strong and after a parade
in which several hundred m len
marched, filled Pulaski hall to the
doors.
The parade formed at Hall avenue
and Cortlandt street shortly before
s O'Clock and, headed by George
Fullerton's band, marched down
Hall avenue and State street to the
hall, where a crowd was already
seated. Those who took part in the
procession were drenched, but this
did not take away any of their en-
thusiasm and crowds on the side
walks cheered and set off fireworks.
Those in line carried red torches and
without a doubt the quantity Of red
fire used was greater than all that
has been lit since the campaign
Ntarted.
Alderman Stephen Schultz called
the meeting to order and made a
short speech of welcome. He an
nounced that Mr. Zienkiewicz, OF
Jersey City, would make an address
in Polish. The foreign orator spoke
on the national issues.
Julian Lujanovicz, a banker from
Passaic, was next introduced and
spoke in Slavish There we're many
Slavs and Hungarians in the hall
and after Mr.. Lujanovicz had been
loudly applauded Chairman Shultz
introduced Mr.. Jallo, another Slavish
speaker from New York, who clearly
defined the issues of the republican
party.
Albert Leon. after being intro
duced by the chairman. made an eX-
cellent speech and received his share
of the applauding. DR.. F. c. Henry,
the republican candidate for mayor,
when called upon, was cheered for
several minutes. William H. Pfeif-
fer, candidate for sheriff, followed
DR.. Henry with a short address, al
ter which speeches were made by
Alfred Christefferson, candidate for
alderman in the fifth ward; William
E. Maiewski, candidate for school
commissioner in the fifth ward; Johr
Pfeiffer and some of the other city
candidates.
The meeting lasted until /
O'Clock and throughout the evening
enthusiasm was evident at all times
The republicans viii hold a mas.
meeting in the Majestic theatre to
night, preceded by parade. The
principal speaker will be John S
Gibson, of Newark, and Edmund
Wilson, of Red Bank. The county
and city candidates will also speak.

A CANDIDATE
B. M. Cannon Tells Of Strong
Forcing Local Man to Take
Nomination for Mayor.
AFTER REFUSING COMMITTEE
Editor EVENING NEWS:

Editor EVENING NEWS:
What might be considered the
joke of the campaign is the circular
which has been distributed today
setting forth reasons why DR.. +. Z.
Henry should be elected.
There are ten reasons given. The
first says, He is good man." Well,
we don't dispute that, but the cir
cular should have said that he was
an average man, no better and no
worse.
Second, "He is the peoples
friend" and that while in the legis-
lature he fought for them against
powerful corporation influences try
Ing to pass an antitoxin bill. Now
what does the republican party think
the voter is? Yes, he did have an
antitoxin bill passed, but, like all re-
publican legislation, the bill, as far
as the public is concerned, was not
worth the paper it is written on.
Will DR.. Henry or anyone else point
out person that that law has bene-
fted? Let the writer of the circu-
lar point out one single act of DR..
Henry's while in the legislature that
would entitle him to be classed as
the peoples friend.
The second and third reasons are
about the same, and can be con-
densed in the third: HE is free
from boss dictation." 1t goes on to
say, '1t cannot be said of him that
any man stands behind his throne.
Well, let us see. That very ques-
ton recalls to my mind the circum-
stances leading up to his nomination,
and l propose to bare the facts. Dr.
Henry was called on at his home one
night by a committee of prominent
republicans, headed by George
Haney, and that com mittee told him
that they wanted him to stand for
the nomination of mayor. He re-
fused on the ground that he had a
large practice and could not give the

South Amboy, Oct. 30:-One of
the most disastrous railroad wrecks
that has occurred in South Amboy
since the time of a sim liar one five
years ago, when four men were al
most instantly killed, happened this
morning on the hard coal division of
the coal trestles. AS a result ten
large iron coal cars were destroyed
and thousands of tons of coal were
spilled. Whether or not any lives
were sacrificed is not yet known, for
there were many brakemen and rail-
road employees working about the
cars when they started on a run from
what is known as the cut near the
Amboy bridge landing.
Fourteen heavy steel coal cars
known to railroad men as "battlers, -
stood on a siding In the cut. In some
unknown manner ten of them be-
came uncoupled from the others and
started on a high speed down grade
toward the water front. While TAX
Ing the curve near Scully's Office, at
speed faster than an express train
ever attains, they jumped the track
and fell from the trestle to the
ground, about twenty-five feet. They
were piled into a mass of broken
scrap iron with their contents scat
tered for hundreds of feet around.
Had the cars jumped the track south
of Scully's office, they would have
landed on the Office building, and
many employees of the railroad COM
pany might have been killed.
Two wrecking crews are now
clearing the debris away. One OF
them was hurriedly summoned from
Cam den and the other from Jersey
City.

publican poll. He is deserving of
every trust and will make a good leg
islator.
AS W. E. Ramsay, the third man
on the democratic ticket, voted
against local option last year and re-
fuses to be bound this year, and as
both McKeag and Won Minden, on the
republican ticket, refuse to bind
themselves to favor local option, the
advocates of that reform have select
ed their third candidate from the pro-
hibition ticket. Mr.. Aeken is the
cashier of the Travellers Insurance
Company, of New York and lives at
Metuchen. He is president of the
Law and Order League of that place
and ranks high among his fellow cit
liens.
The three men Van Cleef, Butcher
and Acken, make a strong ticket and
no one need be afraid to vote for
them for fear they will go wrong on
something else that may be brought
before the Legislature.

Spcctal By United Press Wire:
Annoy, Oct. 30:-With the versatil-
lity that would do credit to a diplo-
mat who has spent his life at foreign
ports or a deckhand on tramp
steamer, the American sailors this
morning entered into the life of this
ancient ''fiowery Kingdom" and are
carrying all before them just as they
have done at every port since the
"trip of the fleet began.
Eight battleships, under the COM
mand of Admiral Emory, comprising
the flagship Louisiana, Virginia, Ohio,
Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Kear-
sarge, and Kentucky steamed into the
harbor to the booming of salutes and
the cheers of thousands of Chinese,
The squadron will remain here un-

to be far less exciting than that at

The masses of ignorant people in
Annoy are greatly excited today over
the rumor that the fleet will bonn
bard the Japanese Island of Formo-
sa after leaving here. The Chinese
of Annoy are particularly bitter
against the Japanese and are wildly
hopeful that the foolish rumor is
correct.

While not making any great stir
about it, the advocates of local option
are putting up an active campaign for
the election of three assemblymen
who are pledged to vote for their bill
when it is introduced at the next
session of the legislature.
The entire county has been flooded
with circulars and pastors so that any
voter who favors local option will
have an opportunity to vote for the
men who have made this an issue.
Two of the men the local optionists
are working for are on the democrat
ic ticket, Schuyler c. Van Cleef and
Howard j. Butcher. The other is on
the prohibition ticket, William c..
Acken. Mr.. Van Cleef was in the as

in favor of the, local option bill he

Mass Meeting in Theatre
-DenOuHces Republicans.
HOT SHOT FOR PFEIFFER
Congressman HamiII, of Hudson
County, and Former MayorDunne,
of Chicago, Discuss National Is
suss-Hr. Runyon Presides.

Surrogate Peter r. Daily, of New
Brunswick, came to town last night
and spoke at the democratic mass
meeting in the Majestic theatre. His
speech was the feature of the occa-
sion, although there were two able
addresses by men of national repute.
In speech which took his hearers
completely off their feet, Mr. DAILY
pleaded for the election of the whole
democratic ticket and the overthrow
of bossism in Middlesex. He went
for William H. Pfeiffer, the candidate
for sheriff of the republican party,
and others in that party, in strong
terms.
Regarding Mr.. Pfeifar the surro-
gate said: Il saw poster the other
day which stated that If the people
of this county wanted law and order
they should vote for William H.
Pfeiffer. Mr.. Pfeiffer is a poor man
to run on such a platform and, if he
wants to know the reason, let him
come to me and l will tell him.
(Great applause). Charity prevents
my going into details" Mr.. Daily de-
nounced the methods of the republi-
cans in this campaign and said they
had brought "a professional black
guard" from Newark to carry on a
campaign of mud Singing In a Perth
Amboy newspaper. This brought
down the house. He ridiculed the
claims that Mr.. Pfeiffer was nominal
ed without a boss's aid.
Albert Leon came in for much of
the speakers criticism and the surro-
gate said that Mr.. Leon made a
speech at Dunellen the other night in
which he declared that he scored
Grover Cleveland his free trade
policies. Mr.. Daily read extracts
from a newspaper in making these
statements about the foreman of the
last grand jury.
An eloquent appeal for the reelec-
tion of Mayor Bollschweiler was
made by the speaker and he said that
the present executive of the city had
given more time than any other to
the conduct of the citys affairs and
that there had Tot been even sus-
picion of one dishonest penny in the
democratic administration. He told
of the new city hall and police sta
| tion and the many improved streets
and other benefits which the city had
received during the year just ending.
Mr.. Daily, although wearied by the
task OF making seven speeches yester-
day, spoke in a manner that won an
ovation from the 500 or more present
