ing knives out, and trimmed many salaries.
The mayor announced the appointment
Of Eugene p. Warren ~ night policeman.

Warren was qualified and went on duty.
On motion the matter Of city marshal
was taken from the table. The petition
asking for the abolition Of this ONCE as
salaried ONCE, signed by ninety -five busi-
ness men and taxpayers, was read. A
motion to lay the matter on the table for
further consideration was made. Mayor
Simonton said he did not think this could
properly be done at this time; the ap-
pointment should be confirmed or not
confirmed.

salaries. The salary Of the city clerk was
made the same as last year--$2O0 and fees.
There was considerable discussion in
regard to the city treasurer's salary, which
was 500 last year. Aid. Hagan moved
that it be reduced to $3.50. Aid. Estey
thought 600 was enough. Aid. Jordan
said he knew OF good republican who
would take the Office at salary Of half
what is now paid. He did not think the
city should pay more than it could get a
good man for. The matter was finally
tabled.

Two Cents Per Acre.
Especial to the Evening start

TRENTON, Feb. THE State For
estry Commission met today in the
executive chamber with Governor j.
Franklin Fort, and discussed matters
pertaining to the board. The matter of
paying to municipalities taxes on forest
discussed and it is likely that the law
will be amended so that these NUM-
cipalities will receive from the State
about two cents for, each acre of forest
lands. Hereafter the board will neot
here on the first Friday of each month.
1t was decided to apopint fire war

public, Atlantic Count; Oakland Bor-
ough, Bergen County; Woodbine, Cape
May County; Roxborough Landing, Mt.
Arlington, Randolph and Mt. oliver,

Sussex County. The license of the fire
warden in North Hanover Township
was revoked and the appointment of a

An offer of a tract of land at Base
River, made by William C. Irons, was
declined. The tract contains 200 acres,
and the price asked was $3.50 an acre.

offer of a tract of 1900 acres at Wood

listeners. The three cheers called for
were given before the words were out
of the mouth of the man who called for
them, and more followed.
Mr.. Bryan stood and watched the ex-
element he mac created. He made
no effort to quell the noise. AS the
applause lessened only to begin ag.lin
he quietly glanced over the crowd, ar:
it was not until absolute silence re-
turned that he spoke again. Then he
said:
SIN the volunteer army or Newark
i will leave the interests of the Demo-
cratic party. 1 thank yOu-'
Previous to his appearance before the
$500 persons gathered in the Colosseum
to receive him Mr.. Bryan had already
made four speeches. At noon he had
been tie guest of Daniel Fellowes Plat
J at the Lawyers Club in New York,
and. later had spoken before a large
audience in the Majestic Theatre in
Jersey City. Then he went to the
EWoman's CLUB in the same city, tc
take the rlece Of Mayor Otto Wittpenn,
who was too i'll to. keep his engage
ment. A short pause at an informal
reception in the Robert Davis Associa-
ton and he was away to Passaic
where he was entertained by Chairman
John F. Wynne, of the City Democra-
tic committee.
After his speech there he was whirled
to Newark in al automobile surround
ed by mounted policemen, arriving at
the Colosseum at $3.50. He went into
the hall while former Assemblyman
Samuel S. Swackhamer. who had been
introduced by Edmond A. Whittier, the
chairman, was still speaking.
The whole trip was supervised by
Mr.. Whittier, of East Orange; Charles
H. Ingersoll, of South Orange; Senator
William C Gebhardt, of Hunterdon
County: James e. MARITIME. Union
County's farmer orator." Vice-Chair-
man J.. Spencer Smith, of the Bergen
County Democratic COMMITTEES; Colonel

Then he stopped n the audience be-
gan.
When he resumed he said the sixteen
to-one policy was a thing of the past.
That question had been settled to the
satisfaction of both parties by the dis
coyery of rich gold mines in the West.
Bimetalism was done with.
As he neared his climax, Interruptions
became frequent. Cheers had followed
many of his statements, prompt and
enthusiastic demonstrations, but they
were the cheers of welcome. Later the
tone changed and every new assertion
met with immediate response. His dec
larations of faith in Newark, in the
county, in the State, was the climax.
81 cannot come this way again with

didate. 1 will assume that the man
who will be the nominee will be a

He leaned far out toward his audience
and the applause was quoted by his
earnestness, and he then made the
statement about his candidacy.
And now l am going to ask you how
many of you are welded to the De-
~mocracy-to the Democracy to the ex-
tent that you are willing to join the

hands it is, if the man has no great
sins that blind him to predatory
wealth.

to fight the battle, whether for him
self or for another.
For an hour and a half the audience,
crowding every available seat, waited
for the Nebraskan, and then, after his
appearance, sat through his two-hour
address as firmly as if he had been
the first speaker on the program, in
stead of the last. He had already
talked before three other audiences on
the same subjects, but Newark being
his last stop before he went to the
home of Charles II. Ingersoll, of South
Orange, where he spent the night, his
previous speeches were summarized
and Incorporated in that last effort.
Mayor Jacob Haussling introduced,
or rather presented, Mr.. Bryan, as his
honor declared that their guest
needed no Introduction. Then, before
the applause died away, Mr.. Bryan
plunged in.
Predatory wealth. accompanied by
appropriate Characterization flowed
readily from his tongue; corporate
greed was e%Xcoriated; the Subsidized
press was roundly rated; and 'pur-
chased BRAIN was condemned. And
then more praise for the President,
who he declared was not to blame for
the recent panic. The only charge on
which Mr.. Roosevelt could be held re-
sponsible was that the light should have
been turned on sooner.
But the necessity for an army, heart
and soul for the supremacy of the
Democracy, was the real and crying
need.

Mr.. Bryan. "Why, out in Indiana

it is representative of the situation
which exists in other States.
DO you know what the Republicans

"There is the tariff reform that you
want. l began talking tariff twenty
seven years ago, and when l first com
menced l was told that the tariff was
needed for the protection of our infant
industries. Well, that lasted for a
while.
"Then the infant industries began to

they could not only stand on their own

we should have just enough to make
up the difference between the cost of
production at home and hat of the
pauper labor of Europe. The benefit
will accrue to the laboring man.
did You ever notice that when the
Republican party wants to do anything
in the way of adding to predatory
wealth, it is done in the interest of the
laboring man?

William Jennings Bryan left New
Lackawanna Railroad, going on the SAD
train from South Orange. Governor
John Franklin Fort boarded the train
at East Orange and met and sat with
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan had spent the
night with Charles II. Ingersoll, of
South Orange, and was accompanied to
the train by Mr.. Ingersoll and Edmond
A. Whittier and Colonel Joseph w.
Slower, of East Orange.
Mr.. Bryan was surrounded as soon MS
he appeared on the station platform by
a crowd of commuters, and the first part
of his journey on the train was almost
in the nature of an informal reception.
At East Orange Governor Fort went
aboard. AS soon as he heard that Mr..
Bryan was in another car he walked
through and sat down in the seat with
him during the remainder of the trip
to Hoboken.
The meeting vas the renewal of an
acquaintance begun at the Gridiron
Club dinner about two weeks ago,
Each expressed considerable interest
the members the Nebraskan had
| spoken of the banking law passed in
Oklahoma and the Governor asked
that Mr.. Bryan send him a copy.
In return Mr.. Bryan asked that the
Governor send him a copy of his in
augural address, with which he had
been greatly impressed. The two talked
over these things and other topics of
interest en- the way to New York.
When the Nebraskan and the Cow
! ernor separated, a friend of Mr.. Fort,
who had made the trip on the train
and had noted the apparent intimacy
of the two men, facetiously inquired of
the Governor:
Weren't you. a Republican, in bad
company"
mo. / don't think so,'' responded
the Governor, who went on to say that
as he was acquainted with the distin-
guished man he thought it proper to
assist in entertaining him when he
came TO this State.
Mr.. Bryan, on his arrival there, was
driven to the Hoffman House, where he
stayed for about an hour looking over
his mail. He left to go TO Schenectady
and Albany.
After his visit to those cities he will
lecture for a time in Canada, deliver
ing an address before the House of
Parliament in ottawa.

Vinol Restored This Mans
Strength

"several years ago l was attacked By
q severe case of grippe, which left me
with a hacking cough, soreness in my
chest, and bronchitis. took nearly
every kind of cough syrup sold on the
market, besides medicine given me by
physicians.
l received no permanent relief until
my druggist asked me to try Vinol'
and after taking three bottles l was
entirely cured.
l believe Vinol to be the greatest
blessing ever offered to the public, as
It does what is claimed for it." R E X.
Hicks, Maplesville, Ala.
The reason Vinol cures chronic
coughs, colds and pulmonary troubles
is because it contains tonic iron and
all the healing and body building ele-
ments of cod liver oil but no oil.
Vinol is also unexcelled as a strength
builder for old people, delicate children,
weak and rundown persons, and after
sickness.
