Says Judge Hudspeth Knows
How to Make Him Feel at Home

President Wilson's entire speech
was as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and fellow citizens:
Judge Hudspeth, as an old friend OF
mine, knows exactly how to make
me feel at home. He has given me
Just the introduction that could have
wished to have, and your very gener-
Gus reception of me tonight, my dear
fellow citizens, makes me feel very
much more comfortable than ! ola
this forenoon, for example, in another
part of the city, where the tender
sensibilities of one of the Assembly
men from this county led me to con-
clude that he considered 1t an afront
to his personal dignity that should
without his invitation, have come INTO
the county over which his influence
so beneficently presides.
"You do not make me feel that !.
come with SO cold a welcome ana
with what forms so direct a reouke.
I wish you might do two opposite
things tonight; I wish that you might
forget that I am President or the
United States and that at he same
time YOU might remember that am
President of the United States.
want you to forget it because come
here as a Jerseyman fulfilling OLD
promises that made to Jerseymen'
and I want YOU to remember, too, be-
cause it is the business OF the Presi-
dent of the United states 10 see 10

what they have right to expect. l
am not the servant OF the Demo-
cratic PARTY. am the servant OF the
people, acting through the Demo
cratic party, which has now under-
taken some of the most solemn opll-
cations that party ever undertook'
for it has stepped forward at mo-
,nent of universal disappointment and
said: we pledged you our honor as
men and as patriots that you snail
not be disappointed again.
This is the situation In wnlcn tne
Democratic party finds itself, and IN
the midst of this situation there are
particular promises which the Demo-
cratic party for example in New Jer-
sey. has given to the people. one OF
the things which has made tnoughtlui
men in this country most uneasy is
that criminal justice was touched al
its sources by perverted political IN
dueuces. and that when man stood
in with the sheriff's office he was sare
against prosecution, and that when ne
did not stand in with the sheriff s
office he was in the position in which
we all ought to be, responsible for
everything that he did against the law
OF the land. This is not always ap-

RAISE SALARIES OF !
: CITY EMPLOYEES
Republicans Vote Against Res
olution Which Gives At
taches Boost.

Several city employees were voted
an increase in salary at the meeting
of Common Council last night. The
increase was given to Republicans
and Democrats alike. although the
vote was strictly partisan one, the
Republicans voting against 1T.
Attaches of City Clerk Connolly's
Office were the first to be benefited,
Alderman Clifford. although he
favored giving the men increases,
wanted to go slow on increasing the
expenditure list, and moved that the
salaries be referred to the finance
committee for consideration, but when
he was informed by City Counsel
Nugent that the recommendations
were subject to vote of the Council,
the resolution was voted upon. ALI
derman Bleick offered a resolution
that there be no further salary iYlA
creases and no more men be enl-
ployed, but it was voted down. !.
The Council approved the raising
of Fire Chief Paul G.. Moore's salary
from $4,000 to $1,000. to take effect
May 1. Alderman O'Brien also intro
duced resolution of the finance conn
mittee providing for increases in
several city departments. He ex-
planned that the men concerned had
not been given an increase in the last:
three years and that the list included
Republicans and Democrats alike.
The following were the increases in
the city clerks office: William A.
Perlitt. from $1,000 to 1890; Edward
A. Brennan. from $3.50 to $1,000;
Isadore Shapiro, from $1.320 to 81, 400;
Edward Keane. from 81, 500 to $1,000.
William F. Buckley. from $1,000 to
81. 800.
The other increased salaries were:
In the office of the Commissioners OF

Overseer of the .Poor's office-John r..
Dwyer, 1880; Joseph J. Kroehl,
81, 200; License Inspector James w.
Ward, $1,000.
The council appointed as assistant
license inspector Charles NJ. Jessup
in place of the late Hugh SpiIlane
and received and accepted the resig-
nation of William r. Clark. as as
sistant sealer.

Honest and Dishonest
Sheriffs in Every County

at would be ashamed Oh Inyeeh Il
I brought indictments against honest
sheriffs, and in every county there
have been sheriffs honest and dis
honest. But what 1 want you to re-
member is that the political efforts
of those men who wished to work
their own private will are always
centred upon the capture OF the
sheriff's office, and that when they
have captured the sheriff's office then
they feel at liberty not to be too
scrupulous, and the methods which
they employ to work their own prl-
vate purposes. and that here, there,
elsewhere, this heat OF suspicion, II
not of corruption, has touched the
administration of criminal justice in
which this State. in which we should
like to believe that all mems liberty
is safe, that every man stands upon
an equal footing before the judges
who sit upon the bench, the Demo-
cratic party undertook in Its plat
form to show that that suspicion was
removed, and if it does not do 1t it
ought not again to be trusted by the
people of New Jersey.
I
schemes, gentlemen have their per-
sonaI prides in their own proposals
of reform, and INSCRIPTIONS persons
| play upon that pride, encourage and
nurse the vanity that lies behind it.
and so go on and push your plan, for
| II will not be universally accepted, II
will come into contest with other
mems favored project and in the long
run will prevent anything from being
done. for it is proverbial. mind you,
that the Democratic party cannot
get together. And so 1t is brought
about that once more Hudson County
/ is being played by the managers OF
Essex County.
How long are you going to play
second fiddle? How long are you
going to elect men that whether they
intend to do it or not manage your
affairs in such fashion that they are
as a matter OF fact subordinated to
the purposes by the managers, let us
say the governors. Of the party in
the county of Essex?
ST was present at conference to-
day in which one of the gentlemen
in the Assembly from the county OF
Essex asked me If had not said that
the greater part OF the delegation
from that county exercised no choice
of Its own, but took others. He did
not ask me in those words. but the
words don't make any difference
That is what said. And said II
not because ] suspected it; have
lived in this State good many years;

and when vsntured upon that un.

Asseulblymen" had been offended BY
his visit to this State. The President
referred to Assemblyman AeDermott.
Referring to his position at present
Mr.. Wilson said: ''I am not servant
Of the Democratic party; I am a
servant Of the people acting through
the Democratic party" He said that
although II was proverbial that the
Democratic party could not get TO-
gether, he believed, as a result OF the
conferences held today, things would
so shape themselves that the party
would get together. Then came his
charge that Hudson County was be-
ing played by the managers OF
Essex County"
"How long, he asked. ARE you go
ing to play second adder
A peal of laughter followed the
Presidents humorous statement tnat
when he ventured upon the uneasy
sea OF New Jersey politics he was not
the landlubber he looked

in Essex County" he continued, AND
the whole country knew them. Their
names were synonyms OF corrupt

of the republic to the other.
sThe question is" continued Mr..
Wilson. 'ds the Democratic party
ready to give the citizens Of New
Jersey the final guarantee of equal
Justice? Did you ever hear a bigger
question than that?"
At a later point in his remarks the
President launched into decorative
diction, when he described the con-
ditions which he said existed at the
State House In Trenton since his de-
parture from Jersey.
"There," he said, is the temple
where justice is worshiped. or in
trigue. There is the high priest. OF
intrigue who is to be seen lurking
about those halls. Are you going to
burn incense to his god or to the God
of mankind, of purity, of justice?'

Americas Heart Is as Big
AS Is Her Hospitality"

THAT is the invitation of America.
Her heart is as big as her hospitality
and her hospitality is the measure of
her standards of justice. And so at
last the time has come when. men
in America look with contempt upon
the little game of politics, look with
absolute condescension upon the men
who go about to establish their own
fortunes. to praise the interests Of
their own little circle, to see to 1t
that things that they bre interested
in have the pick in the things that
are done and the things that are pre-
ferred. And they are more and more
sitting like a great audience saying
we will ask for a little time at this
comedy. we will pretend to she'd tears
