A raw Soldier.

The Republican party makes fire.
uuent boast of its love for the soldiers
who responded to the country's call
in its hour Of peril. and bore the
brunt Of battle, it's trials and its
dangers. Where in the whole length
and breadth OF New Jersey car they
find a drawer soldier than Patrick H.
O'Neili, the Democratic candidate for
Assembly in the Fourth District?
A boy who broke the apron strings
that tied himto his mothers side, who
ran away from home to enlist at an
are when his companions were still
struggling with the mysteries of the
third and second readers, must needs
bel born soldier. That was the be-
ginning OF Patrick H. O'Neill's mill
tary record, and from that time until
the war ended he was at the front.
The long list of battles ii which he
participated will be found in the
sketch OF his life presented in THE
News today. They include every
fight in which the Army Of the Poto-
mac was engaged, and he fought I'M
der every General who commanded
that brave body Of men from McClel-
Ian to Grant. 1t is a record any nan
might be proud of and every sol
dier's friend' should vote for him. 1t
is needless to ask Democrats to give
him their support for his services to

every Democratic vote in the district.
That is a foregone conclusion. All
Democrats have to do is swell the

Slater Have our people really sus-
tanned a practical loss through its To-
cation in Chicago?
W. answer emphatically yes to both
questions.
1t is calculated that the Fair will
bring $3.50, 900, 900 to Chicago and its
vicinity. 1t would have brought $780,
600, 900 to New York and its suburbs.
The difference would have been
made up by the vastly increased
throng Of visitors from all parts Of the
world, from the greater and grander
display of exhibits, and from the
greater stimulus to commerce.
or the $500, 900, 900, New jersey would
have gained at least $25, 600, 900.
How?
Through the boom in her steamship
business.
Through the increase in railway
traffic,
Through the overflow of the hotel
and boarding house business.
Through the tens of thousands Of
new visitors brought to her seaside
resorts in the suminer of 1893.
Through the enormously increased
demand for her farm and mai ket pro-
duce.
Through the carrying back into
this State of tens of thousands of dol
lars earned in New York by residents
Of New Jersey.
Twenty-Five millions is an altogether
low estimate of our share of the
money.
Who robbed us of itf
The Republican party, headed by
Thomas G. Platt.
Can any patriotic ~Jerseyman vote
to give that party new power?

He refuses to say a,word.
Now to the unprecedented mind Mr..
Carr's conduct is only capable of one
