Minard placed in the way of the citi-
zens of East Orange, and these are not
my personal opinions" said Mr.. Gro
yer. Mr.. Grover then explained how
he went to Trenton, together with sew
eral other East Orange officials and
citizens in the interest of bills 271
and 273. which Affected the charter of
the city and could be of no interest
to any other member of the Assembly
other han Mr.. Minard. when I pre-
scented the bill giving the Mayor tho
power of veto over the police and fire
commissions Mr.. Minard said he didn't
like it and wanted it amended. Finally,
to accomplish my purpose, the bill was
amended"
Mr.. Grover then told of the hard
work he experienced in getting the bill
out of committee. Mr.. Grover said that
at last he was informed that the bill
had been reported, but when he looked
it up on the following morning found
this not to be true. He then looked
UP the bill and found it locked up.
After much work. Mr.. Grover SAID, the
bin was finally reported and he left
for East Orange, confidently expecting
It to reach the Senate on the follow
ing day, which was the last day of
the session.
1.-THE next morning I again went to
Trenton, and there was informed by
one of the attaches that the bill was
not In the Senate and that Mr.. Minard
had stopped it the night before"
Mr.. Grover then said he was request
ed to help make out some bills for the
Senate, as some of the help was green,
and he did so, and incidentally included
bill 271. Only for hat 1t would never
have reached the Senate said Mr..
Grover, land that one bill, No. 271.
answers everyone of Mr.. Minard's
statements.
A far as bin No. 273 goes, Mr..
Minard states that this bill was intro
duced by him and became a law. l
tell you tina bill 273 never passed. so
how could it become a law Mr.. Minard
either did not know what he was say
ing or he was mistaken" said Mr..
Grover.

laughter among those present as he
told of the memorable luncheon he. to-
gether with several other officers of the
league, partook with Governor Fort
at Trenton. Particularly did Mr.. Creole
dwell upon the actions of A%djutant-
General Sad1er, who, according to Mr..
Creole, passed notes to both the Cow
ernor and Acknowledgement Wilson
during the dinner. when it came my
turn to talk" said MT. Creole, II start
ed by saying: 7 have no notes to speak
on, but | am going to talk just the
same I then asked the Governor why
Mr.. Sadler was present and the Gov
ernor. much ~perturbed by my ques-
tioning, told me thar he was there as
his personal friend, but I soon found
out that Adjutant-General Sadler was
opposed to the calling of a special ses-
sion.
Deserted by Governor Fort.
1--WE have, gentlemen, been deserted
by our assemblymen, but most of all by
our Governor. Before we left that
meeting we had everything but an
affidavit from the Governor that he was
with US. In fact, we almost had his
honor as a man. I do not claim, and I
do not think, that Governor Fort and
Acknowledgement Wilson framed up an
effort to beat us
But / do shouted a man in the rear
of the room.
Right you are" several others an
swered.
But I do know" continued Mr..
Creede, that no one helped US and that
we are now under no obligation to any
man"
Loud applause greeted this remark
of Mr.. Creole.
Bear this in mind" said Mr.. Creole
as he sat down, you can beat the
people when once you thorough rouse
them"
