The election in Hudson resulted even
more successfully than we had antici-
pated We were confident of the election
OF the entire county ticket, but we had no
expectation of securing seven Of the ten
Assemblymen. Five was the best we
hoped for; but while we might have been
prepared for six, we must acknowledge
that seven fairly took our breath away.
But the greatest surprise of the contest is
probably the election of Mr.. Hudspelh in
the Sixth District. We knew, of course,
that there was dissatisfaction in the dis
triot, as well as in the Fifth; but while it
was possible these splits might decrease
The majorities. no one had any idea that
both districts would be carried by the
Democrats. Mr.. Wanser secured hand
some majority IN both districts, which
makes the success of the Democratic
Assemblymen all the more gratifying
That tie Legislature will be Republican
In both branches, as wei as on joint bal
lot, is no fault of Hudson County. She
did her du ty nobly.

The police did good thing the other
night in breakingiup the gang that so long
has infested Colgate street; and Railroad
avenue, These young scoundrels were in
the habit of insulting every one who
passed by, and, in The meantime, subsisted
by stealing. If they had been allowed to
go on, they, would soon have owned the
district and the strong hand Of the law
was not laid upon themra moment too
soon. 1t is to be hoped it will be kept
upon them until they have learned to

approaching very fast, and the knowing
ones are leaving their orders at their tailors
long before the snow flies. Norris, the
tailor, has the finest line of ovefcoat cloth
that can be found in Jersey City. The
surety of good fit, the warranty Of good
cloth and trimmings, combined with low
prices, are sufficient Inducements to any
sensible man to get his measure taken st
his store An examination of the new
fashion plates will be very instructive

The Order of the Arguments.

TRENTON, Nov. IA good deal of public
interest is manifested in the railroad tax
arguments that are to begin here next Tues
day morning. The counsel on both sides
agreed, after consultation last Tuesday,
upon the following order for the argu-
ments:-ssAs directed by the Court, the
questions of law shall first be argued. With
the permission of the Court the counsel
have agreed as follows: First, In each case
or system of cases, one counsel to open.
Second, Counsel for defendants to follow
Third, Opening counsel, or associate in
each case may reply; but, if more than one
counsel replies in behalf of all or any of
the cases, then, instead of counsel for de-
PENDANTS following each other, one may fol

Just how much faith The public have in
the charges of fraud invented BY the anti
McAvoy gang is shown by The lack Of
attendance at the Canvassers' meeting on
Friday afternoon. There were lots Of
vacant seats in the lobby--a fact that indi-
Gates lack of interestswhich could not
possibly exist if any one had the slightest
idea that the. charges were true. If the
people of Hudson County believed there
was fraud, the county buildings would not
hold the people who gather to witness the
count, and the Canyassers would have
been met by mandamus at the very out
set of their labors.

The ward politicians who so uselessly
attempted to defeat Mr. McAvoy in the
fight for the office of Surrogate are now
shouting fraud at the top of their voices
There might be some truth in the charge
if they could show there was any neces-
sity for fraud, but unfortunately for their
case Mr.. McAvoy's plurality is so large
that there was no need to resort to dishou-
est practices. Nor could that large plu-
rality have well been stolen, even had
there been need for it. 1t was utterly
impossible for them to have stolen a thou
sand votes, and yet that is what they must
have done if the charges made by Messrs.
Wanser and Wolbert, or their friends, are
True. But it was the same when Mr..
McAvoy was nominated. In the face Of
the fact that Mr.. McAvoy received eighty
eight of the ninety-four votes in the con
vention they began shouting that there was
fraud, corruption and bribery among the
delegates, and they kept it up with per
sistent energy until the day of election.
And just as soon as they found that Mr..
McAvoy had been elected they began to
shout that he had been counted in, a
cry they have kept up ever since, and will
probably keep up until Mr.. McAyoy's
term is ended. So far as the disgruntled
Democrats are concerned perhaps there
should be no fault found They staked
their all upon hazardous cast, and having
lest they are perhaps justified in swearing
little. But charges of fraud come with
a bad grace from the friends of the Re
publican candidate. A party that stole
the Presidency should never find fault
about a little matter like that, even grant
ing that their charge is true. If they
could swallow the camel they ought to be
able to gulp down the gnat, and probably
would could they have stolen the Surro-
gacy from the Democratic candidate. 1t
makes a great deal of difference which
side the stealing is done on, but party
which inaugurates theft as political fac
tor should not find fault when it finds its
own pocket picked. We do not for a
moment concede the truth of these
charges, understand; we are merely Illus
trating the Inconsistency of the people
who are making them. We believe that
Mr.. McAvoy was fairly and honestly
elected, and we invite his opponents to
make as full and searching an investiga-
ton as they please, and in whatever direc
ton. If they can show that thousand
votes were stolen for Mr.. McAvoy, well
and good. But it will have to beon other
evidence than their own. The men who
have been opposing Mr.. McAyoy on per-
sonal grounds are such a lot of political
scala ways that no one in Jersey City will
believe them on OATH

chise is; and finslly on, the question
whether The State Boardof Assessors pur
sued the right method in determining the
tax value of the, railroads tangible prop
erty. The constitutional objection Is based
on the ground that ihe act provides a
method of taxation for railroads different
fiom that which is folio we'd in the taxation
OF the property of individt ais, and is, so,
repugnant to the equal taxation injunction
of the new Constitution. If the railroads
were taxed as the individual, they would
be obliged to pay about three times as
much as is now exacted Of them. so that
they now stand in the attitude Of kicking
because they are mol taxed enough There
is little doubt that the Court will decree
the taxation of the franchise, but it is O
very nice thing to determine just what
franchise" means, aud its worth as a
piece OF taxable property. AS to the
method of the valuation of the tangible
property of the iroad, the State has SO forti
fed itself at every point that there can be
no doubt of the result on that point.
