LET republicans remember that nothing
is more possible than the election of a
democratic president in 1892, and it is
not only possible, but probable, we shall
regain asoendsncy in the house in 1890.

lend their credit and let them that used
the roads pay for them; there is no de-
nyiag the fact that tax in the shape of a
toll for use of public improved road Is
the most equitable. In ten years In the
county of Perth, in which I lived, all the
leading roads were grsvelled and tolled,
and a little more than another de-
cede with the introduction of
railroads and a market IN
every county for the staple product
of wheat, and every road made good that
avoided toll, the tolls were abolished.
The tolls had grand effect-more road
labor was done in one year than ever was
done in three before making roads, to
avoid the tolls. And if road labor is con-
fined to first class roads in Texas, sys-
tenn of good roads will be established in
every county; but second and third class
roads should be abolished by widening
them to sixty feet, giving power to each
county to allow gates in pastures on all
but great public thoroughfares. New set
themselves in each county.
Let us suppose that convention was
held in Austin of one representative from
each county in the state to consult with
money broker about advancing
money to build gravel and metal roads.
He will say, Gentlemen, if you want to
get money on your individual county
bonds, I will let you have it for per cent,
but will let you have it for per cent on
the guarantee Of the state" Then some
Alliance man will get up and say this is a
grand illustration of Alliance principles
| it takes the counties to make the state,
and practically we are the state, and if we
can save per cent by cooperation we
ought to do it. We have an executive
branch of the Alliance that buys whole
sale and the members get the benefit of it.
If anybody can point any good and solid
reason why we should not cooperate in
anything that is essentially public neces-
sity, would like to hear it. Let US buy
the money Wholesale; if the state guaran-
tee cannot be obtained now it surely can
by next election.
1 observed statement in
The STATESMAN the other day that the
tolls on one day if they had been in ex-
! istence on the bridge amounted to about
$15O-in one year of 300 days $4,000.
The interest on 100000 would take
$4,000 of it, which would make it 50, 500
per mile, 400 miles of road. Show the
farmers that no taxes are necessary and
they will lend their credit. Put the tolls
on, widen out your avenues from the city
for five miles to 100 feet. The experience
OF Austin shows that we must commence
with tolls. You have now free bridge,
but it had to be tolled first. II you want
to start free you must please every SEQ
ton and make the expenditure so big
that 1T will be burden. may further
remark that while the power conferred on
municipalities to make or take stock on
gravel roads has worked to great and
good results and universal satisfaction in
canada, the power to take stock in rail-
rosos was grossly abused and the power
abolished. Respectfully
ALEX MITCHELL.

COMPARISON OF LOCAL AND TRUNK LINE
EARNINGS.

The Fort Worth Gazette wants more
railroads in Texas, and contends railroad
commission will keep them out. The
real question is, will the existing railroad
policy attract new roads' II they would
be kept out by a commission, they are
effeotually kept out also without COM
mission. They are kept out by interstate
traffic, which can be affected only indi-
rectly, but nevertheless surely by q state
commission. When main trunk through
lines earn 200 to 1000 per cent more per
mile than local roads, outside capital will
not come in to build local roads. That
they do this is shown by the following
from the comptroller's last report Of earn
ings of seven leading through lines and
seven local roads. Last years earnings
of tbe following roads are given per mile,

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1889-11-06
THE GOVERNOR ELECT.
How He Spent the Day that Brought
Him Victory.

Governor Albeit was at the feadquar-
ters of the Democratic State Committee at
Taylor's Hotel early in the afternoon to
await tidings and be prepared to act
promptly if his advice was sought. A few
kilograms arrived aud were promptly
answered.
His sons, Will and Leon, and Sheriff
Davis, made tour of the county to ascer-
tain the prospect. The reports were of
character to cheer the Governor. Many
Republicans who usually picked up their
ballots at the polling places came proyid-
ed with the ticket and this was regarded
as favorable and convinced the Governor
that he had not erred when he predicted
that he would receive eight thousand in
Hudson county. His estimate OF the vote
as the dispatches announcing the result
received during the night did not vary
much from his figures.
The Governor sat calmly at the desk
calculating the results in the counties and
Assembly districts. He smiled as the
kilograms arrived from South Jersey, for
they did not show the remarkable majori-
ties that the Republicans claimed Grubb
would receive The Governor quietly re-
marked that he would beat Grubb out
side of Hudson, and, as he had told the
people, he would be elected by majority
greater than he received in 1883. He
seemed anxious about the result in Cam
den, where the republicans do their queer
work He had conceded 5000 majority to
Grubb there and the despatch ultimately
showed that he had guessed accurately.
A few minutes before midnight an ava
lanche of messages arrived. They all
contained glad tidings. The Democrats
had a large majority in the House and he
was delighted that at least ont branch of
the Legislature would be in sympathy
with him. Then came the intelligence
that Gardner's vote in his stronghold. Al
lantic City was $50 behind what it was three
years ago when he squeezed in on a mar
row margin of forty-eight- The hopes OF
the others in the rooms were elevated as
they believed the Democrats would have
a majority in the Senate, for the informa
tion had been previously wired that Win
ton had won in Bergen counto and Werts
had again carried Morris. The Governor
who the sender of the despatch was
Rather too good to be true" was his
comment. The Governor remained az the
headquarters until two O'Clock this morn
ing, awaiting further intelligence from
Atlantic, hut it Jailed to appear, and he
went home pleased with the grand work
accomplished by the Democrats.
A large number of friends called to
offer their congratulations. He met Col
oneI TOffev in the Office of the hotel and
the Colonel graciously extended his hand
to his political rival and humorously re-
marked that he would see that the Gov
ernor received his salary promptly.

WHAT THEY SAY.
A Word with the Happy and the
Disappointed.

THE JERSEY CITY NEWS was able to
catch word with well-known men here
and there this morning, and here is what
they say
Leon Abbett--"It was one Of the hard
est-fought battles / know of. General
Grubb made great fight, and the Repub-
hcan party had plenty of means to tight
with. Under the circumstances consider
it a most magnificent victory, and am very
proud of it, 1t shows that the people of
the state approve of my course as Cover
nor and of the Democratic party in gem
eral. Thanks to ali my friends"
Sheriff Davis-"What have I to sayS
Well, almost anything that is congratnla-
tory. You can't put it too strong, and
want to add that THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
has made a great campaign fight, and de-
serves praise accordingly"
Ex-Assemb blyman Michael Mullone:-
sWe are the people and don't you forget
it. and | want to say that THE JERSEY
CRY NEWS did splendid work for Albeit
and the entire Democratic ticket.

and | attribute the victory to the good
effect of the new charter, and the able
campaign management, for all of which
Sheriff Davis deserves high credit.
Billy German, clerk of the Board Of
Finance-"Of course it suits me; and
take it that the splendid victory Is the
peoples endorsement of the new charter,
Justice Warren-sIt is no more than
any sensible Republican expected. We
had no idea of esecting the Governor.

HOW TIE BATTLE RACED
Things Seen and Heard in
Hudson County Yesterday.
GREETINGS OF GENERALIZATION,
Words With Those Who Like 1t
and With Those Who Don't.

Democratic watch fires burned In all
parts of the city last night. The boys set
them ablaze with special brilliancy and
fervor in front Of the Democratic head
quarters at Taylor's Hotel.
1t seemed by an instinct almost that
they left the Republican headquarters in
the Fuller Building to the gloom into
which the first of the returns threw the
gentlemen in charge of them.
Colonel Toffey was arst to read the
nights disasters on the evenings returns,
and, accompanied by ex-Finance Com
missioners Frazer and Warren, he con-
fidentially made the discomforture of his
party known before the rest of the town
realized the extent of it.
Democratic Headquarters in Rooms s
and of the hotel were crowded with re-
porters and citizens; Governor Abbett
was with The thrOng, and ex-Judge Gar
retson, Robert 8. Green, jr., and John ".
Bacot, with others who are well-known,
dropped in to hear what the wires were
saying as to the result in all sections OF
the state.
Secretary Willard Fiske and Mr. Down
er, his assistant, were at hand to herald
the news each sheet announced as 1t left
the operators hand.
Early In the evening Allan McDermott
came In with the deliberate stride Of
confident man, but went out again to
gather information from other sources
The instrument was then ticking only
vague reports of Democratic victory from
New York and Brooklyn
John Feeney came in with the we'll
known breezy confidence of the horseshoe
politician, and John w. Aymar was all
most boastfully confident of victory, not
withstanding the report that he was
being traded by Pairson for Freeholder
votes.

Abbett's plurality, Isis


Incomplete.
NIB There are still about twenty districts to
hear from. Taking account of these, Leon Abb
belts plurality will be about II, 600.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1889-11-06

It's clean sweep for the Democrats.
The probability is that by the pos
sible defeat of Gardner they have se-
cured the Senate. Abbett's majority
will be probably 10000. Grubb car
ries Mercer by majority. Kane, Of
ballot reform notoriety, is beaten in
Middlesex for Assembly.
President Werts is reelected to the
Senate in Morris, and Foster M. Voor-
hees. Republican, to the Assembly
from Union. Gallagher and Kelly
make a close race in the Seventh dis
trict of this County, and both claim
victory.
Heppenheiner beats Peck and Big
Four Kern together. We elect eight
out of the ten Democratic Assembly
men. the whole county ticket, and
eight of ten Freeholders.
Study the figures for yourself. They
are given below as far as they had
been complied at five o'clock this
morning.
