Everybody Opposed to It

New York, 1895

The Standard in its last issue attacks the Brooklyn Times because it has had occasion to criticise Mr. Youngs. The Brooklyn Times condemned the Commissioner of Jurors bill, and so did the Herald. Both condemned the bill for the same reasons, namely, because it would saddle an unnecessary expense of $10,000 annually on the taxpayers, because the bill was created for the purpose of making a position for Assemblyman Vacheron with a salary of $3,000 a year, and because the judges, the lawyers and the people of the county were all opposed to the bill. — Long Island City Herald, Republican.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, May 24, 1895, p. 1.
