do you know what the sum Of your
reviews last Sunday morning Of the
chances in the Assembly districts WASP"
asked John Parnen Feeney of me Sat
urday evening
"Why," he added. without awaiting
my reply, "the figures elected McPhil-
lips BIZ about 300 majority"
Possibly without intending it, Mr..
Feeney paid high compliment to the
impartial accuracy of The NEWS. The
reviews were only made with a view or
giving its readers trustworthy information
as to the situation. THE NEWS is not in
the habit of deceiying its readers by color-
lug its news reports to support its editor
ial leanings.
If the reviews elected Mr.. McPhillips
by 300 majority, it follows as a matter OF
course that Mr.. McPhillips was elected
fly 800 majority THAT Sunday morning
{19th inst)
1t is just as true that yesterday morn
ing he was defeated by a majority that
shall not attempt to put in figures. 1t
may not exceed 1900, but 1t looks as
though it might reach 10000 The straw
that has broken the cameps back is q
monster bale stick, fatuously employed
fallen with crushing weight.
A GRAND REVOLT.
MNo one who has not been out amongthe
people can begin to appreciate the In
tensity and extent of the revolt their
latest assault upon the suffrages of the
people has stirred up. The stufing of the
ballot boxes last fall and spring was one
form of disfranchisement That the Rim
has devised. Tne exclusion of the Jeffer-
sonian candidates from the polls IS the
--latest form its opposition to free and
lhouest ballot has assumed. The Germans
lare convinced that it was against them
1hrough the German candidate whom the
Jeffersonians had put up In opposition to
the Ring Shrievalty candidate. that the
blow was directed; and it is becoming
more and more clear as the days go
by that they will stand in solid front
against the Ring at the polls week from
Tuesday,
ave had known all along,n said one
we'll known German to me yesterday,
that the Ring were in doubt as to the
course they should pursue concerning US.
The NEWS has heretofore faithfully rep
sented the difficulties of the situation as
it presented itself to their eyes. We are
entitled TO official tickets, and yet there
was pretext on which they might refuse
them to US. If they issued them they
opened the doors to large independent
Democratic vote. If they refused them,
they might drive the independent vote in
body to Wanser. They had about con-
cluded not to make any protests, and up
to last Saturday it was understood that
they would supply us with official tickets.
Sunday there was q great German gath
ering at Pohlman's. Timken went there.
Some Ring men were there, too. They
saw the ovation that 1imken received.
That opened their eyes. For the first
time they had an opportunity to measure
his great strength. They made up their
minds that it would never do 10 let him
go before the people. He would not only
draw "a great vote from McPhillips. He
might even beat him. So the machinery
that resulted in our disfranchisemcnt
was set in motion with the protests OF the
heeIers against the certificates.
ALL AROUSED.
sThey builded better than they knew.
They have aroused the people all over the
county to action for the protection OF the
sacredest of their citizen righss- We are
blocked out of the polls. but at our con-
terence in Hoboken Friday evening we
descided to Withdraw in favor OF the Re-
publican candidates. Next week, prob
ably Tuesdy or Wednesday, we shall send
out an appeal, over the signatures OF
every member of the Executive Commit
tee and of every candidate on our ticket,
to aid us in resenting this latest outrage
of the Ring upon our suffraRes. we
shall 90 on and hold our meetings as ad-
vertised. They wele to have been mass
meetings; they will be indignation meet
ings. And our transparency, that was to
have been decorated with the names OF
our nominees. will instead contain an In
scription explaining that we are not per-
mitted to nave nominees"
On all sides one hears nothing but de-
nunciations of the bar that has been set
up against thousands of voters. The he
publfcans are in jubilant frame of mind.
The Ring is broken hearted and dispirit-
ed. Their only hope is fraud, and that
they are afraid to commit. United States
supervisors and the fear of the United
States Grand Jury, which they cannot
pack to protect" their rascalities, are
their terrors
The hornets nest the Ring has stirred
up for itself within the last week is big
enough to drive away the little majority
Of 500 BY which Mr.. McPhillips was
elected last Sunday morning and to turn
the scales by as big a majority in favor Of
his opponent
