Plain sneecll.

Here is a paragraph from yester-
days STATE Gazette:
We hope to see the outcome Of the Hudson
county contest repeated in a score of Southern
Congressional districts by the enactment and
enforcement Of a national election law. Men
who hold their seats on fraudulent titles must
be yanked cut.
Whether it is accidental or deliber-
ate, this has the merit of being plain
and straightforward If we shonld
fill this column with inveetive we
could say nothing more daInning, as
it seems to us, concerning the motives
and purposes of the Republican
party.
The plan is not wholly new one.
1t was originally tried in the British
Parliament, and there it led, after
much outrageous abuse of power by
majorities, to the removal from the
House OF Commons of the power of
revising elections and its yesture in
the courts Of law.
Evidently the Republican party has
made it its settled policy to use every
advantage it may gain to consolidate
its hold upon power as against pros
pectiye changes in popular favor. The
plan has been pursued in both houses
of Congress. In the Stnhr- Mcdonald
case it has been carried into the Leg
islature of a state
Now an accredited Republican Or
gan boldly announces that not only
is the act to be repeated, but also
special legislation is to be framed to
facilitate its repetition-to override
in particular the will of democrats in
the natural strongholds OF Demo-
cracy.
What is this7 Is this republicanism
in the original sense of the word2 Is
this the spirit Of freedom, is it the as
sertion of the principle of government
by the people and for the people9 Or
is it government by class and for
the leaders of that classg
II the people Of the country do not
find speedy means of defeating this
form Of aggression upon their liber-
ties, it is to be feared that another
generation win see strange changes in
the country's destiny,

In another column we print today a
full synopsis of the new ballot
reform law. 1t appears to us as
good as any preposterously COM
plex system can be made. That it
will lead to endless confusion
and litigation is almost certain
That in itself it will prevent fraud is
impossible. Its principal advantage
is that-though it throws difficulties
in the way of everyone who wishes to
vote-it does not make it absolutely
impossible for anyone to do so, as the
measure which the Republican Sena-
tors pretended to advocate would
have done.
Anyone who reads the bill in the
light of modern political methods
will see that it leaves doors wide open
for all sorts of fraud. 1t is only
necessary to read the provision re-
speeding the loss of official ballots to
be satisfied of this. At almost every
stage, from the appointment of cleo
ton officers down to the punishment of
fraud it is insufficient and Ineffective
as every mere mechanical plan of re-
form must be. 1t has been claimed
for it that it is the best ballot reform
measure yet enacted. Probably this
is true. 1t is certainly better than
any that Republican hypocrites have
advocated, or cranks and theorists
have insisted on. But there is only
one real plan of reform, and that has
its origin with the people and not in
legislatures.
Public sentiment is the only pana-
cea for political evils, and until both
parties in New Jersey--or anywhere
else-are convinced that only honesty
will be tolerated by the people, scam
dals and outrages like the Hudson
County frauds and the Senatorial
seating Of the impostor Stuhr will
continue to be the order of the day.
This bill is cumbrous, expensive,
fatuous. The people will be tired of
it in a year or two, and then we shall
have something simple and sensible.

that the majority which it cannot ex-
plain away by any species of legerdemain,
did rot actually exist, and upon these
vague assumptions It calmly makes the
colossal claim that Stuhr received q
majority Of votes honestly cast fer Sena-
tor.
The crime of the ballot box suffers in
Hudson, bad as it is, was innocence itself
compared with that which has been per
petrAted by the eleven Republican mem
bers of the New Jersey Senate. We can
punish these ballot box suffers and enact
laws to purify our elections. There Is no
permanent injury to our institutions in
crimes arising out Of defects in our laws,
and committed by the ignorant and vi
cious. The injury done by a majority of
a legislative body that makes laws for
the people, in the commission of such a
crime as that of yesterday, is simply in
calculable.
10 understand fully the nature of this
crime the motive which inspires 1t should
be stated, The result of The Senatorial
election last year rendered it practically
impossible for the Republicans to elect
Senate for 1891, and as the House Of AS
sembly next year will almost certainly be
Democratic, the Republicans will be in
minority on joint ballot. In 1891 the
joint meeting will elect successors to
Comptroller Anderson aud Treasurer
TofIey, both Republicans, and both of
whom have been active in the work Of
the Gardner Committee. In 1891 also the
Legislature win redistrict the State for
Congressman on the basis of the census
to be taken this year.
Here are two powerful motives for the
crime just consummated, and they are
reinforced by other reasons:-A Demo-
cratic Legislature next year will seek to
curtall the minority rule that now gov
erns the Senate, it will pass the bills
affecting corporate interests that Senator
Gardner has refused to report at this
session, and q Democratic Senate will
confirm the Governors nominations.
What bargains have been made with
Mr. Stuhr can only be known
when the time comes for him to
perform his part of the contract.
AS he was not elected by the people of
Hudson county, and owes his seat en-
tirely to an infamous crime, he will have
no nice scruples TO interpose when he is
called upon by his political sponsors to
help them carry out the objects FOR which
a stolen Senatorship was conferred upon
him. But these objects will never be
gained with or without the aid of the
fraudulent Senator from Hudson. A
great crime has been perpetrated by the
Republican Senate and the reaction of
public sentiment will overwheim the Re-
publican party at the polls next fall as
surely as the sun shall rise on election
day.

WHAT THE EDITORS SAY.
Election by Estimate.
Ffonl he Netp Y-ork IYorld.

From The Neto York lForld
The Hudson county IN. j. election
last fall was flagrantly corrupt, the ma
chinery being exclusively in the hands of
a dishonest Democratic ring. The large
apparent majority for Mcdonald as Sen
ator was in considerable part fraudulent.
But in voting to unseat Mcdonald and
seat Stuhr the Republican majority in
the Senate DEGREES the election of Sena-
tor by partisan guesswork, instead of by
the people. aud that method of election,
though praeticed upon occasion in Con-
gress, is not contemplated in our republi-
can system of government. IL is very
dangerous method.
The vote of the Senate does not rest
upon satisfactory proof that, apart from
fraudulent votes, Stuhr had a majority.
IL rests upon a mere estimate, and no
man should be made Senator by virtue
of an estimate.
At the same time MeDonald's election
should not have held good in the face of
the frauds proved. II should have been
annuiled and new election ordered. If
fraud could not have been kept out of
the new election, as is urged in answer
to this contention, the fault is with the
election laws, and for these laws the peo-
pie of the State are responsible.
The right thing to have done in the
case would have been to order new
election, to be held under the reformed
law which the Governor will no doubt
approve within a few days Under that
be subject to partisan control, and ample
means are provided for securing a fair
vote and an honest count
1t is the function of the people of the
district to choose the Senator, not that OF
a partisan majority in the Senate.

The Strange Death OF Newark High
School Boy.


School Boy.
Special to the Sunday Morning Neacs
NEWARK, May "a, 1890. - About one
O'Clock yesterday afternoon a well grown
lad between fifteen and sixteen years of
age. named Charles Brunisholz, son of
Jacob Brunisholz. saloon keeper at No.

Newark High School, was found lying IN
an unconscious condition at the corner Of
Mulberry street and Mul berry place by a
passing pedestrian. He was carried into
Kellner's bakery, No 3o2 Mulberry street,
and DR.. Glatzmayer was summoned.
The doctor knew the lad, as he had
long been his fathers family physician,
and by his direction the unconscious lad
was taken to his home. The doctor found
a severe bruise upon the boys forehead,
and as 1t looked as If it might have been
caused by blow from a stone or other
missile, suspicious were at first enter
tanned that the lad had been foully dealt
with. He remained unconscious, despite
the PHYSICIANS efforts to restore him, UNI
til four o'clock, when he breathed his
last.
The lads parents said he left home a
little before one o'clock to go to the High
School, apparently as well as usual, and
as his peculiar death could not be ac-
counted for, Dr.. Glatzmayer, last night,
made a post norton examination of the
body, in presence of Detective Sergeant
Ward, and found that the lad had died
from apoplexy and that the injury upon
his head, which was probably caused by
his fall upon the pavement, was INSULT

and the magistrates to their ef-

HEARTRENDING CRIES.
They were Heard IN Vain while Mcbride
Struggled in the Passnic.

Struggled in the PasEaic.
Special to the Sunday Morning Nctcs
NEWARK, May "a, 1890 The death Of
Policeman Matthew Mcbride. whose
body was found in the Passaic river yes
terday morning, is surrounded with no
little mystery The belief that he has
met with foul play is accepted by large
number as tine despite the allegations of
some of the police force to the contrary
The cries for help which were beard on
Sunday night about TWO hours after his
disappearance lend strength to the belief
that they issued from him. Policemen
Tyler and Malone heard the cries, and
with Policeman ID, II. Smith, of the Sec
ond precinct, secured q boat at the ice
company's dock and put out for the oppo-
site shore. When they got into the river
the cries ceased. They landed where they
supposed the cries efnanated from, but
nobody could be seen or heard. Then
they tramped through the marshes. but
unseccessfully.
Policeman Tyler said he had never
before heard such heartrending sounds.
They were like the cries of a man plead
ing for his life, he said 1.-The captain
and all the crew on an ice barge that lay
at the ice conpany's dock heard them
also and rushed out We were delayed
in getting boat, but all the time the
pitiful cries continued. | believe that
Mcbride met with foul play.
Mcbride was thought to be a little
demented. TWAS after midnight on Sun
day when he left the house at No. 20
Bridge street, and he was sober. He had
been rather a hard drinker until the
mission at st. Patrick's Cathedral
month ago, when he stopped suddenly.
The sudden stop affected him.
The fact that in the immediate neigh
borhood where the body was found the
corpses Of several missing people were
also found recently is regarded as singu-
lar. The body of Patrick Smith was dis
covered a few weeks ago in the canal.
Near the same locks the body of an I'M
known man was found a week ago, Two
years ago an Italian named Freminelli
was mysteriously drowned in the locks
and his pockets were turned inside out.

The Unseating of Mcdonald.


That the work of the committee resulted
in the disclosures of outrageous frauds
against the franchise is alltoo familiar to
q public long stated with the rumors of
election crimes in Hudson county. That
II conspiracy of long standing has existed
in Jersey City to steal votes, stuff the
ballot boxes, disfranchise electors and
pollute the sourceof all public power, was
proved beyond peradvenJure. That Mr..
Mcdonald was an innocent beneficiary of
this conspiracy was made plain. Hence
it became duty upon the committee in
the interest OF society and in defence of
the greatest of citizenship privileges,
to upset the criminal work of the con-
spirators and their tools. Public mo-
rality and decency in public methods de-
manded that this be done.
While eonceding these facts some rea-
son exists for suspecting that the COM
mittee and the Senate went to the ex-
treme limit when they seated Stuhr.
While the proof of stupendous fraud is
overwhelming, the fact is incontestible
that positive evidence is lacking to show
that the contestant polled more votes
than honest votes were cast for Melon
aid The presumption is that Stuhr re-
ceived the greater number of legal bal
lots, but presumption is not ground suf-
ficient for the oustfng OF a member,
however great the need of furnishing the
men who have made elections in jersey
City reproach aud a disgrace. If the
committee had declared that no choice
had been made in the election, and or.
dered new ballot, every interest would
have been conserved.
