We reprint in our news columns,
today, the interview which Bob
Davis caused to be printed in his
organ. Mr.. Benson's Eoeaang Jour
nal, last Saturday. We reprint it be-
cause it would be a pity that any
democrat should fail to see it. 1t is
well that every citizen should know
what of man Davis is, and
should learn it out of Davis own
mouth.
We believe there never was a more
sneaking, cowardly, treacherous
whine than this interview of Davis.
Having heaped up odium on the local
Democracy by his crimes, this nnut-
terable cur in the hour of defeat at
tempts shift all the blame upon
County Clerk Mclaughlin.
Now, with all his faults, it must be
said of Mclaughlin that he is a man.
He knows how to take his medicine.
He is incapable of any such miser-
able lodging as this of Davis, and h 9
10 doubly incapable of trying to shift
all the blame and all the punishment
ep the shoulders of a confederate.
Even under the evaporation of Davis
unspeskabls meanness, all that he
has to say is that his treacherous side
partner talks like a child"
Among the worst elements of ring
politics, courage and fidelity are re-
spected. The motto Honor among
thieves holds good even where no
higher moral platform is upheld.
Even among the lowest of his own
heelers Davis will lose cast through
this interview, Indeed, it is only
there he can sink lower; he had al
ready touched bottom in the minds of
people of average conscience.

"NAWS' VIEW ENDORSED
To the Editor of the JERSEY city Ne,ss,-


NEWARK. Nov. II. 1898.
You bad an admirable editorial On the
Assembly complication In today's NEWS.
Your point that a body which has been
declared Unconstitutional cannot be de
fdcto is q settler. A de fdcto body ceases
to exist the moment 1t is judicially de-
clared to be not dc jure; and even a de
tGcto existence implies u color OF title at
least. If the Legislature had bssn In
session before the Supreme Courts de-
cision. It's acts up to the time of the dnd-
ing. would be shielded from attack of
curse by the de fdcto CLOAK. But for a
body of men 20 flock to Trenton
to take possession of seats to
which the courts had, two minutes
before. declared they have no
title, is simple invasiou-claau usurpa-
ton. The fact is that there isn't any
Assembly to De even de facto. An AS
semblymau is not an Assemblyman till
he has qualified by taking the oath of
office. For the life of me, I canuot see
where the Republican claim of de fdcto
existence comes in. Stockton's point

Total Vote.

But the contention is that the
voting was illegal because citi-
zens were deprived of their con-
stitutional right to vote for all
the candidates. They each voted
for only one candidate, while
there were eleven vacancies to be
filed. But, on the other hand, no.
body tested the point. Nobody de-
manded to be allowed to vote for
eleven men, and there is no law to
say that citizens must vote for all
eleven. Everyone, as a matter of
fact, voted for as many as he ex-
pressed a desire to vote for-that is to
say, one But, of course, the official
proclamation was illegal, and the
official ballots were irregular.
1t is a pretty middle.
