is by the unanimous vote Of the nominating
convention, a candidate for another term His
constituents should see to it next Tuesday that
he is elected by a rousing majority.
The observation-disclosures to the Constitutional
Convention have been everywhere commended
for their high character and attachments. The Sc
lection of the entire delegation was made judi
ciously and reflects great credit upon the Repub-
lican managers. It's superiority over the Demo-
cratic list is seen at a glance. Mr.. Choate whoze
name appears first on the roll should be tower
of strength to the Republican ticket. Mr.. Root
has won an enviable place at the bar and
high place in the party politics. Mr. Hollis is
a worthy and conspicuous representative OF the
great mass Of German voters, who have been
aroused to unusual activity this year by the
nomination of Maynard. In fact, there is not
a man on the ticket who is not worthy of the
support of every good citizen that is DESTROYS
of seeing this important gathering made up of
such men as will render it in every way WORTH
of the Empire State.
"Am | a King or a ten-spot?" asks Ferdinand
in the play. 1t is a question which most kings
are asking nowadays with great socitude.
Lobengula seems to be the last to get a de-
csive answer
1t Is said that one of the questions to be
brought before the Constitutional Convention
will be that of an increase of the pay of MEM
bers of the Legislature. The salary of Sena-
tor or an Assemblyman is $500 year,
the amount being fixed by the Constitution.
1t is contended that this is too small, and
favorite comparison is with the salary of
Congressman which is $1,000. 1t seems to be
an open question, however, whether members
Of our Legislature should have their salaries
raised. We should say that something depends
upon the character of the men sent to Albany
as legislators. Taking those that Tammany
Hall is in the habit of selecting for this duty, it
would appear that 81, 500 is too much rather than
too little. II we could have first-class men all
around in the Senate and Assembly, it would
be worth while to pay them literally.
1.-THE smile on the face of the tiger" is not
quite expansive the Princeton men ex-
pected it would be after yesterdays football
game. Still, it is better than smile at all.
as the keepers Of the Tammany tiger may be
willing to admit after Tuesdays election.
The excellent work that Charles IT. Murray,
the Republican candidate for District-Attorney,
is doing in the downtown districts to check
mate fraud on Election Day is an earnest of
what may be expected of him II he is chosen
to take Mr.. Nicolrs place. Mr.. Murray is a
conscientious, indefatigable worker. and his
honorable ambition to the people as their
prosecuting officer should be gratifed Every
voter who has the true interest of the city
at heart, and desires to see it redeemed from
the control Of the lawless element, should vote
for him.
Ten dollars Of McLaughlin's Doodle is required
for hiring repeaters vote 1t costs che hum

convicting that illegal voter. But the hunting
OF these rascals down is cheap at any price.
The ocean record is now broken 80 often that
it has ceased to be a novelty. The fast
Cunarders have all the sport, and neither the
time Of year nor the conditions OF weather seem
to interfere with their pastime They are al
ready what they were designed to be-nve-and-
a-half-day ships But they have not yet made
their best time.
Governor Mckinley is not weary In we'll
doing. Although he has been carrying on an
active and arduous campaign for fully two
months. on one day last week he broke the
record by making not less than seven speeches.
Trial by jury Is not played out In Paterson,

the bar for official misconduct. The Grand
Jury recently did its duty In indicting a con-
siderable number OF county officials. who have
since been tried and found guilty. The con-
vcted men were arraigned fer sentence on
Friday. and two Of them Were sent to the
state prison for eighteen months apiece. The
drastic action OF Judge Dixon will have de-
cidedy salutary effect. which ought not to be
