TRENTON, Nov THE indications this
morning are favorable to "A large vote
Race track legislation and in Newark a
fight against "the ring" give promise Of
bringing to the polls flocks of voters as
large as the fiocks of mosquitoes for which
this state is famous. In Newark, as in the
cities Of Brooklyn and Buffalo, in jerseys
adjoining state, there is a hand to hand en-
counter with 1.-The ring" Lines are drawn
sharply, and the question of racing or no
racing is dwarfed into insignihcance by a
home rule movement.
Over in Hudson county, It is said the
gamblers have decided TO sacrifice the
Democratic assembly candidates of the
Seventh and Eighth districts for a shrieval-
ty candidate, and the same plan will be
operated in other districts where it is
thought the Republicans have a chance of
electing assembly candidates.
In this county, with politics as the only
issue, 10 of the II districts could be counted
on TO return Democrats. The Democratic
leaders in Union county also feel confident
of victory, AS do the Democrats of Mon
mouth county.
There is very little betting on the result,
and what there is is almost entirely of 10.
cal character.
Both Sides Confident In Massachusetts.
Boston, Nov There are only two
opinions upon the result of today's cleo
tion in Massachusetts,, but great many
thinking men are far from being certain
which is the right one. The strictly indie
pendent and unprejudiced opinion is hard
to find, but careful canvass among the
politicians discloses that the scale is appar-
emily tipping toward Republican success
The main fight is over the election of d
governor, and as the candidates-John f.
Russell, Democrat, and Frederick T. Green
halge, Republcan-area about equally popu-
lar the fight is largely on party lines
Democrats who have in former years Sc
confidently claimed victory are not now SC
enthusiastic, but they have been working
as never before
Boston has been the leld upon which tn,
party has pinned its hope, and by its vot,
today they will stand or fall The Repub

ago, and that they realize this is to be tn,

of 500 for the detection Of any case of lille

@. 8. Metz Laughs at the Slow Police
Justices.
O. s. Metz had chance for big laugh
yesterday in Judge Wade's court, and
availed himself OF it. About year ago
he pleaded guilty to vagrancy in Justice
Ovens court. The justice allowed him
to go on his own recognizance, to appear
the next day for sentence, but Metz de-
veloped traits of discretion which spoke
well for the development of that phreno-
logical bump, and beat masterly re-
treat to pastures new. Justice Owens
passed sentence, nevertheless, giving the
absent ''vag" 80 days in Jail.
About week ago Metz was found in
the city again, and being remembered
by the police, was run in to serve his
sentence. He was brought before Judge
Wade yesterday under a writ of habeas
corpus. The court decided that the
sentence had expired by its own limita-
tions and that Metz could not be impris-
oned under commitment that had run
out long ago. He therefore discharged
the prisoner, who smiled broadly as he
walked out of the court room a free man.

And President Cleveland Was Blessed
for Their Forthcoming.
A well-known young lady Of this city
who is on visit to Thomas, Ala, wrote
to her father, who resides here, few
days ago, funny but actual occurrence
thattook place at Birmingham, Ala, two
days after Grover Cleveland took his
seat. 1t is told in her own language:
THOMAS, Ala, March 81. 1898.
DEAR PAPA--I read in one of the Biz.
mingham papers the other day about an
old dsrky near York, Ala, who had
heard the campaign speakers tell of the
good times if Cleveland was elected
that money, clothes, ETC., would grow on
trees, etc. This old niger was chopping
wood near where the cyclone struck the
other week that scattered everything
pretty lively, and he happened to look
up in q tree near by, and there was a
new pair of shoes and pair of panta-
looms lodged in it. He didn't lose any
time getting them down, you can imag-
inc, and as he leaned on his ak he said !:
"Well, dem plentiful days is come here !;
jes look. Massa Cleveland amt bin in
dat chair but two days and here am 8
pair of breeches and bran new pair of
Shoes for dis pore ole Niger"

HIS IDEAS ON GovRRNMENr.
Judge Wade Tells Oordano to Lear
Moro About This Country.

Judge Wade Tells Oordano to Learn
Moro About This Country.
Judge Wade, in department three of
of the superior court, believes that a
man should at least have some knowl-
edge of the American form OF govern
ment when he applies to be admitted to
citizenship.
Joseph Cordano, a native OF sunny
Italy, applied to him yesterday, with
some witnesses. He proved easily
enough that he had been in this country
for 20 long years. When it came to
speaking English he WAS not in it to any
great extent, and when asked what kind
of government that of the United States
is, said it was all right. He was asked
in what it differed from the Italian gov
eminent, and replied that that was a
very good government, too-much
cheaper than America.
The applicant for the proud gift of citi-
zenship had mind that was absolutely
blank as to the system of government
and Judge Wade very properly told him
he would be obliged to learn more about
it before he would admit him as a citi-
zen. His sponsor, another Italian, inn
mediately took Cordano down stairs and
tried to find another judge, but they had
all been notified and the party was sent
to the right about in hurry.

He IS ONCE AGAIN IN THE TOLLS
This Time He is Arrested for
Perjury.
Another Link in the Case of the
Simpson litigation.
The Adultery Case Ends in an Acquittal
Yesterday, But Mrs. .simp-
son Springs a New
Complaint.

George B. Simpson was found not
guilty of the charge of living in open and
notorious cohabitation and adultery with
Grace Thompson by a jury in Justice
Sesmen's court yesterday afternoon
about O'Clock. But his liberty was
short lived.
Mrs. Simpson, the wife of George B.,
Immediately swore out a warrant, charg-
ing her husband with having committed
perjury in his evidence given in his de-
Tense in the adultery trial, and he was
at once arrested. Simpson furnished
bail and was released. f
1t was hoped that with a decision in
the adultery case the Simpson family
difficulties would be, for time at least,
withdrawn from the public gaze, but it
seems that such was not to be the case.
In the trial of the adultery case yeeter.
day morning, Grace Thompson resumed
her testimony. She very positively de-
MED ever having committed adultery
with Simpson.
Simpson then took the stand and
likewise wah very firm in the statement
that he had never had any illicit inter-
course with the girl. He went into de-
tails explaining his conduct in relation
to her, which he claimed was perfectly
honorable.
The defense then put a number of
character witnesses on the stand to
prove that the character of Grace
Thompson prior to the time Simpson
was arrested, on q charge of adultery,
was good. This was certainly shown by
half dozed reliable witness.
This closed the case for the defense,
and two hours was devoted to argument
-Lecompte Davis for the prosecution
and Henry Gage and Major j. A. Dom
nell for the defense The court read his
instructions to the jury. This con.
sumed another half hour. The jury
went out and in an hour brought in q
verdict of not guilty.
Perjury. against Simpson will be
difficult charge to prove and it is diff
cult to see just what warrant there is to
put the county to further expense in the
matter. 1t has already cost a considera-
bic sum as far as the marital troubles of
Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson are concerned.

looping the President.

the $50 class by Messrs. Judkins and
Wiley, in which the former won by 33
points, and the other in the Hotpoint
class, in which Mr.. Way defeated Mr..
King by ii points. Mr.. Wiley is said to
have played very unlucky, while Mr..
Judkins played in great form. He is q
very tall man and can reach all over
billiard table, thus enabling him to play
many shots with ease at which other
men strain badly or else are compelled
to use rest He has now won four
games out OF five, a percentage equalled
only by Mr.. Cook. The game stood $50
for Judkins against III for Mr.. Wiley,
who is president Of the club. The win
ner's average was "a against / 40 for
Mr.. Wiley. Mr.. Judkins' largest runs
were IL, 8, s, 8, 10, while Mr.. Wiley's
were s, 7, 8, 6.
The second game was the best yet
played by any OF the 120 point men in
the handicap, the contestants being
Messrs. Way and King. the former Of
whom scored 120 points to Mr.. Kings
100. The largest runs by Mr.. Way were
10, IA, 7, and those by Mr.. King 7, s,
Is, IL. The winners average was 2 a 10
and the losers 2:5-12, which ia very
good for players in the third class. The
game was very close for the first 100
points but after that Mr.. Way showed
the way to his opponent for all the rest
OF the race.
Peter Orban, who has won three games
out of five, went east the other day, ex-
pecting TO return in June in time to play
all the other contestants against whom
be has not yet been pitted. He is one of
the best of the 120-point men.
