The contemplate ~insinuations which
Mr.. Record made against the character
of Mr.. Hague, and which he lacked
the manhood to directly charge, have
been proven absolutely and positively
false.
Another act which brings upon the
head of MI. Record the bitter con-
demnation of laboring men is the man
ner in which he dragged the past rec
ord of a now unoffending fellow man
into the limelight and wallowed in the
heartless enjoyment of making 1t
harder for this man to make an honest
living.
"Mr. Record o~vershadows the candi-
dates of his party; he looks upon men
simply as pawns to be used for the adj
vancement of his own selfish interests.
He doe not hesitate to attempt to
wreck the character of any man who
stands in his way, and fights fair or
foul, as occasion demands,
Such a man is not worthy OF sup
port.
81, therefore, on behalf of Local SIT,
urge every laboring man in Jersey
City to heartily support and work con-
scientiously for the election of our
tried and true friends. Mayor Wittpenn
and Frank Hague. Very truly,
JAMES DEGNAN,
President local 617."

Local No. eli, of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, which Endorsed Mayor
Wittprnn and City Hall Custodian
Frank Hague for Mayor and street

lively, has sent out to hundreds of
union men during the past few days
the following letter, in which they
criticise George l.. Record for assailing
Hague and Flannelly. the man who is
now trying to live down a homicide.
The letter is as follows:
las president of the international
Brotherhood of Transfers, Local Git,
and by direction Of that body, l am
addressing the labor men of Jersey
City relative to the ~cowardly, wanton
and unwarranted attack made by
George l.. Record upon Frank Hague,
and through Mr.. Hague upon Mayor
Wittpenn. It is the established policy
Of union labor to stand Loyalty by its
friends, and, as we remember how
Mayor Wittpenn and Mr.. Hague stood
by us in the express strike and at
other times, we would be ungrateful
indeed did we not rally to their sup
port.
LAS far as Mayor Wittpenn is con-
cerned, his honesty. fairness and abil-
ity are beyond question, and the
m%outhings of Mr.. Record only serve to
reflect discredit Upon himself and the
men whom he has nominated for Office.

the two men set fire to the boat.
The boy charges that his father
locked his mother in the houseboat,
poured oil on all the bedding and ap-
piled a match. He says he waited
until the men got out of the way and
then broke open the door.
While the houseboat blazed over his

Solution Is Probab BILE.

From republican sources comes the in
formation that the two democratic candi-
dates for the United States Senate may
seek TO adjust the differences between the
republicans and the democrats. From the
same sources it is learned that the repub-
leans will come back Monday.
Mr.. Chiffon said today there was
no doubt that a way out of the trouble
would be speedily found. He ascertained
during the talk with Col. McGraw that
the democrats are united and that both
the nominees will get the total democratic
vote of seventy-nine next Tuesday. Like
Mr. Watson, he hopes a solution of the
difficulty will be found before that day, sc
that the commissions can be signed and
there will be do doubt at all about the
legality Of the elections
