does not consist in any portion of any
organization; it consists of the men who
tions are Instruments, instruments to
serve the people or tall the conse-
quences. They are instruments which
govern the people in a patriotic way In
a general cause and object, and when
any organization sets itself above the
would have you believe that it pretends
to serve, then it is time for the opera
ton, the wart must be removed.
Business interests are involved in
his matter, not political principles.
These business interests intend If they
can to own any organization that Is
the governing organization in the af-
fairs of America. They cannot own 1t
II the business is don in the open;
they can own 1t If it is done under
cover. They won't strike their tents
and move over in the daytime, they
will move over in the night time. Y

IF / understand my own heart, |
do not entertain personal animosities
in this question. 1t is not a question
of persons and their faults. 1t is a
question of the records of some persons
because the records show the tendency.
How do I know Which way a man
Is heading unless l loo up his record?
Hour 40 7 lpntv Vvho r HE friends
his associates, what his connections
have been. what his determinations
have been, unless 1 look up his record?
And I want to point out to you that
MIR. James Smith, jr. No, gentlemen,
wait a minute-Mr. Smith represents
not q party, but a system-a system of
political control which does not belong
to either party and which, so far as 1t
can be successfully managed. must be-
long to both parties. Under this sys-
tenn it is just as necessary to maintain
and substitute, II possible, a faithful
and subservient minority as a faithful
and subservient majority; it Is just as
Important to see, that nobody in the
minority jumps the track as it is to
see that nobody in the majority jumps
the track.
Fighting the "System."
at is a matter of indifference to the
people of New Jersey. as / have al
ready said in public. which representa-
tive of this system is sent to the United
states Senate; for IL is the system that
we are fighting and not the representa-
tives. There are some representatives
of thst system who have, and l believe

honesty and their character. There are
men in this country who believe, con-
scientiously believe, that the prosperity
OF America is tied up with, and identi-
cal with, the prosperity of certain great
financial interests in America. If a
nan believes that l must differ with
him very e~mphatically in opinion, but
I am not at liberty to say anything
in d~erogation of his character or of
his honesty. He may be just as honest
a man as any of us, but he cannot
think in the terms of America. He
thinks in the terms of the influences
with which he is connected, and q man
who cannot think in the terms Of
America cannot represent any portion
OF America.
II want to call your attention to Mr..
Smiths allldICes' 1Ou hIoW WITH
whom Mr.. Smith is allied. Where hoes
his support come from? 1t comes from
the papers which are understood to be
the ~mouthpiece of the very members
of the Republican Board of Guardians,
whom we had supposed we had put out
of business.
aYou know who Mr.. KuehnIe L., do
you not, of AtIsntic Citye You know
who Mr.. Baird. OF Camden, Is, do you
noty Mr.. smith has recently been In
conference with Mr.. Kuehnle and with
Mr.. Baird In philadelphia, Mr.. smith
ha. been In conference with Mr.. Baird
I'm New York. His conferences nave all
chiefly been with the gentlemen who
are his allies on what we regard as
side, because there Is a COM
munity Of interests which nobody who
has any power of vision at all can over
for these gentlemen openly sup
port the candidacy OF Mr.. Smith and
openly oppose those who oppose Mr..
Smith.
"They know that Mr.. Smith will safe
guard the interests they are most con-
cerned with If he should go to the
United States Senate I am not sug-
costing in this any corrupt influence. 1
am not suggesting anything except the
fact that those are the interests he
would represent. There are no sur
misses IN this matter. We know what
is going on. 1t is no longer under
srouna; ths whole thing has hssn
