TRENTON. Nov.1O. 1893 Their first wild
burst of exultation over the unexpected
resultof Tuesdays election having in a
| measure subsided, the Republicans have
| taken a little more sober view OF the stu
alton and are beginning to think that
their victory was not SO complete as it
appeared early "Wednesday morning.
It Is scarcely five years since the Repub-
lieans were turned away from the public
crib, and the taste OF the sweet morsels
thersin contained still fingered In the
mouths of many Of the faithful They
never expected to obtain control OF the
vast patronage of the State again SO soon.
The vision which Tuesdays election
sprung upon them of again reducing the
Chief Executive to mere fignrehead as
they did Governor Green, aud once more
being able TO distribute the fat things
among their followers was too much for
them and they became grossly intoxt-
catei on expectation. CIR
But the dreaded next morning, with its
lion, what difference" came to them
! yesterday. andsthey are suffering today
all the aches and woe consequent upon Il
big debauch The first signs Of return-
| ing sobriety came in the shape of dis
| QuietiDg news from Monmouth. 1t be-
| gan TO be whispered about the corridors
| of the State House, although who heard
| it first it was hard TO tell. that Founder
Bradley could not be counted upon to
sanction all the revolutionary schemes
| which the Republicans had Ia view. IL
| was said that he had told an intimate
friend that he would not 60 into the Re-
| publican caucus. He did not consider
himself a republican. or that he WIS
elected by Republican votes. The party
managers had contributed nothing to
speak of towards the expenses Of the
campaign and had left him
! to fight alone and at his
own expense the race track crowd with
their army of repeaters. and Billy Thomp-
sons thousands. He had declared, he
said, that he owed his election to the
| democrats VINO threw off the race track
collar; the moral respectable Sunday
school element of you will, and the Pro-
hi bilionists and other auti-lquor men
who admired him for the fight which he
had made against the rum element in
Asbury Park.
% MORE OF A DEMOCRAT
Furthermore it was hln5ed that Broth-
er Bradley was more of democrat than
he was a republican,, and whe1 it came
TO stripping a Democratic Governorof the
power he has exercised almost from the
founding Of the State. In order to feed u
horde of hungry Republican Office seekers
his vote could not be relied up
on. Moreover it 10 part of

1t is rather amusing to see what an
| important figure Founder" Bradley has
come TO be in this Stale. The whilom
"crank," the butt of all the small news
paper testers and a general fund of
ridacule efor GALL the smart 'sjournalists'
| from New York to Pnila1elphia, he is
today one of the most important, IL not
the most powerful. man IN New Jersey.
He can make aud unmake laws. With
out his vote the Republicans are help
less. They may pass anything they
choose Through the House. but a bill
cannot become law until it passes the
Senate and it cannot pass the Senate with
out eleven votes In its favor. Tne Repub-
licans have ten votes that they can rely
on in all sorts OF weather aud since the

BRADLEY WORRIES THEM.
tits no owonder then that tue news that
they couid not counr Upon Senator Brad =
| ley for a certainty, has chilled the Re-
publican enthusiasm. No one of the
leaders about here yesterday would admit
that they had any reason to believe that
Senator Bradley would not vote vita
them on all strictly partisan measures.
They all poohpoohed the idea, but just
the same, they are worried, and an effort
will be made In few days to ascertain
from the founder of Asbury Park def
nire statement as to just what he will do.
The worst pang. however. which shot
through the slowly sobsring head of the
intoxicated Republicans was Mr.. Justice
DeDue's decision that the election of
|. .AssemblYmen by districts was uncon-
stitutional. fa

lions OF the wickedness OF gerrymautiers

It was generally accepted that General

of General Grubb were declaring that he
