1t las been q magnificent victory all
aloug the line. The tremendous upheaval
Of popular indignation throug out the
State of New Jersey has completely
swept away the barriers which have shut
the people out from the priceless privIl.
eyes of which the Democratic party. by
evil legislation and misruie. have robbed
them. The State Of New Jersey has again
become Republican In both branches Of
the Legislature and the era of misrule.
maladministration and corruption has
come to an end. For the first time In
years the Republican party of New Jersey
finds itself in control Of the forces which
make and Enmake the laws Of this Com
monwealth. The people OF New Jersey
determined upon a changs. and they em>
phas zed that determination In one OF the
most brilliant. decisive aud sweeping
victories the Republican party has ever
won IN this State.
The Legislature is Republican. What a
wealth of meaning is conveyed in that
simple declaration. It. means that the
people of New Jersey have resolved to
redeem the State from the degrading
influences which hav furnished the fair
name and fair fame of our State. II
means that the notorious horde of
gamblers, blackleRs, thugs. policy deal
ers and heelers will no longer dictate the
laws Of the State. II means that New

clutches of the gamblers, and from those
d%soauching influences which proceed
from Gloucester, Gutenberg, Nom
mouth, Linden aud Elizabeth. It meas
that the rule Of NThompson. FLYNN, Davis.
Mclaughlin ct al is. temporarily. at
least. cut short. Best OF ali. 1t IN sans
that the outrageous Race Track laws
which defle our statute books wi lii be-
wiped away, never, let Us hope, to ap-
pear again.
All these charges are guaranteed BIZ
Republican victory. But evea these
do not convey the full meaning and
significance of the Republican success in
this State. The evil legislation aud the
infamous laws which the most corrupt
Legislatures, in the history of the Sta g
have pl .ced on the statue books must
be wiped away. Thu Kace-Trxck la vs.
will be the first to 20, of course, and q
Republican Legislature may be depended
upon to perform that daty with ueatu ess
and dispatch. When once the bad laws
are erased. the Republican, Legislature
will devote itself to the patriotic task of
enactiug good laws Ia the best Interests
Of the people OF New Jersey. For the
city of Newark. we may win confidence
predict q practical application OF the
theory Of Home Rule. The servants of
the people shall be the representatives of
the people,. not The imouthpieces and
monographs of Democratic bosses. We
shall have a Board Of Works that Is
representative OF the people, not the
creature of a few Democratic leaders and
a Democratic Mayor.
For the rest. the people may be ass ursd
that with the return OF the Republican
party to power in this State, there comes
a retur OF honesty an decsncY In our
legislative halls; a return of economy In
the administrator of State affair. and
all those blessings which proceed from
legislators VITO are the true aud real
representatives OF the people. who ara
untrammelled by pledge. dtcker. deal or
bargain, and whose only ain is to adj
minister honestly, faithfully and ~intslli~
gently the great trusts whlcn the people,
by their suffrage, have placed in their
hands.
1t was a glorious victory, indeed.
Glorious will be the results of it'll
