A Republican Waterloo in Newark
The City Hall Ring Utterly Routed
Great Popular Rejofcfngs.

Great FOpular HeJolcihSs.
The first gun Of the campaign in New Jersey was
fred yesterday in the Newark charter election,
with result, as predicted in Sundays HERALD,
most discouragng to the republicans Never since
the incorporation OF the city has there been felt
such deep and widespread interest as
in this election. Occurring In october, 1t Is
always looked upon an indication or the result
in the more important election held In the state IN
November. Particularly was this SO TINS year IN
view OF the gubernatorial campaign, lnciuuing TUG
election OF a Legislature which Will elect united
states senator ia place OF John P. Stockton, DEM
ocrat. Newark, too, Is the home OF MI George A.
Halsey, the republican nominee Tor Governor,
and his friends throughout the state looked
anxiousy for republican send-on In MS
favor. Besides, as set forth In sundays HERALD,
Newark was made the battle ground OF the two
contending parties in the State with view to
securing effect outside. In several OF the wards,
especially the Third and the Fourth, nominations
were made expressly with the object OF helping
Mr.. Halsey. In the Fourth ward near relation OF
his, Mr.. Harvey Halsey. most esteemed and
wealthy citizen, was nominated Alderman against
his desires, but with the expectation that he would
sweep the ward. Instead OF that the ward swept
him overheard and elected very popular young
man, Mr.. Warren Vanderveer q man who is not
even property owner IN the ward,
but whose reputation Is sound as the best best
out OF the fifteen aldermen elected, with two
wards yet to hear from, one OF which promised to
be surely democratic, thus wiplng out the nearly
two-thrds republican majority, securing demo-
cratic majority OF two or three and the complete
control Of the City government.

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT FEATURES
OF the results the small majority In the repub
lcan banner Ninth M usually gives from 400 to 600
majority, the defeat Of Butcher Bathgate in the
Eleventh, ring man, and the election OF Boss
Stainsby in the FOurteenth-an Overwhelmingly
republican ward. The result OF yesterdays work
while most discouraging TO Mr.. Halsey, is cheering
and inspiriting TO the people, who were OverjOyed
last night when the news was spread that the
City Hail King was at last comp .etely smashed,
broken, killed. A band OF music and
last night In honor OF the victory. 1t was this
ring which handicapped Mr.. Halsey, es-
pecially as his colleagues and his party
organs had strained every efTorS to de-
ceive the people, and try to convince them
that the City Hall people were as pure as the
driven snow. Altogether the victory in Newark Is
q bitter blow to Mr.. Hasey's gubernatorial asp-
ratlons and Waterloo defeat Tor the Newark Ring
