 It seems to us that such methods of conducting a political campaign are unique and unprecedented at least we do not recall similar instance where "all fair-minded people, were urged to attend meeting, where the almiss- ion was free, and "a special invitation is extended to the ladies'" and then at the close of the speech pass the hat. Such methods of conducting campaign savors of deception. The NEWS dis claims any intention of deceiving it's readers in publishing the notice of said meeting, and we do not think that MT Egleston was aware that the hat would be passed Before the prohibitionists use the NEWS columns again to announce free lecture, we would advise them to "go hire hall," pay for the hall in advance and then not pass the hat among the audience, who are their invited guests.

An Election That shows How working
Men Are Going to Vote.
The city OF Newark. N. j.. Is city
OF working-men. II Il one Of the
largest manufacturing centers In the
United States. It II the place where
the. free-trade" scare was played for

years has il gone Democratic In =
Presidential year. Four years ago y
went Republican BY 1.5OO majority.
On the 9th the Democrats carried u ~
100 majority.
During the campaign the only qucs-
lion debated was that Of the tariff, and
the Republican managers left no
means untried TO brighten the working
men into voting the Republican ticket.
They resorted even 70 the dastardly
trick Of printing on the pay envelopes

70 keep wages up. Every thing that
meanness. as well as shrewdncss.
could devise was rcsorted to. and il all
failed. The working-men do not in
tend TO be bulldozed this year. They
are beginning to understand that their
wages do not depend on the tariff. but
on supply and demand; that employers
reduce wages whenever they can, and
will always hire the cheapest labor
they can find. They know that IL il
better for every body that the neccs-
saries Of life should be cheap, and they
see that the tariff Is tax that makes
the necessaries Of life dear. They are
understanding these things this year

before. and they are voting according
