THE old dread of Leon Abbet still
affects the Republican organs. The
mention of his name drives them into
a panic, and they begin to spew venom.
The state Gazette'' this morning snarls
at 1.-The Jersey City News for the pub
licfty it gives to the popular movement
now in progress for Judge Abbetts
election to the Senate. 1t ends up with
a mendacious attempt to onnec Judge
Albeit with race track interests. This
is an act of most dishonest partisanship.
So long as Albeit remained Governor,
the race track managers never could get
a bill through the Legislature. One lit
tie measure which, it was thought,
might give them some immunity, was
vetoed by the Governor in 1891. This
one of the causes of his defeat for
the Senate last year. The race track
men had never been able to use him, so
they combined with Jim" Smith for re-
venge.
1t might not help the Republican cause
but it would materially improve he re-
pute of the state Gazette" if it would
stick a little closer to h truth.

In Germany If 10 horses arc entered in
n race there are 10 judges. In fact, there
is always judge for every horse. Ihen
their races are all handicaps, says Train
err b. Tappan. Suppose 2'40 class is call
cd. Any horse can enter, but if he has a
better record than 2:40 he is put back %
wards for every second better. And the
betting is entirely different. There are
no auctions, but all mutuals. These range
anywhere from 10 to so marks, and have
seen Sia5, 600, bet on mutuals in one day
American horses are getting very popular
over there. They are by far the best
horses on the German tracks, and this fact
is caused in "a large degree by new rule
adonted All horses must start from the
gas mark, record or no record. This is
done to get a better class of horses, and
then the Germans don't care whether the
Americans "ring'' them or not. they ad-
nit that the Yankees are too smart for
them. and this rulo is adopted for home
protection
