GOOD MEN TO ELECT
Sketches of the Democratic Nom
inees for Members of the
Legislature.

The citizens of this State will be called
upon tomorrow to express, at the polls,
their choice for a chief magistrate to
govern the affairs of New Jersey, for the
three years beginning the third Tuesday
of next January The one great question
which to-day confronts the voters of
New Jersey is which of the two men pre-
sented by the two great parties, Alexan-.
der 7. McGin and John w. Griggs, will
administer the State government cleanly,
honestly, economically and for the best
interestes of the people of whatever sta
ton in life?
The only way in which they can an
swer that question is to consider care
fully the records of the two men, for
never We're truer words uttered than:
"By their fruits ye shall know them"
The public caneer of Chancellor McGill,
since the day he was chosen Corporation
Counsel of the city of Bayonne his first
public office. down to to-day, has been
one of the strictest fidelity to duty. He
has always stood up fearlessly for the
people and the peoples right. No better
proof of that could be wanted than his
utterances, when as Chancellor, he rend-
cred a decision which broke up the in
he said:
WHBRE McGILL STANDS.
Railroads afford speedy and comfort
able passage 10 and from divers parts OF
the country, carry produce of mines,
farms and factories to markets, distri-
butte industries throughout the land, feed
the multitude in populous cities and ac-
complish many other benefcent ends.
Water, gas, telegraph and similar cor
porations also render to the public bene-
fits which readily suggest themselves to
the mind as IL eontemplates their work
While the State confeTs special privil-
eges upon these favorites, it at the same
time exacts from them duties, which also
tend 10 the public welfare
'.The whole scheme of the laws of their
organization is to equip and control them
as instruments for the public good. Such
corporations hold their powers, not mere
" in trust for the peeuniary profit of
their stockholders, but also in trust for
the public veal. The impress for public
good is stamped upon their very being,
and it becomes a duty, which, though
not prescribed in the express language of
the law, is to be implied from the
nature of every power conferred. When
therefore. it appears that such a cor
poration, unmindful from this plain duty,
acts prejudically to the public, in order
to make undue gains and profits for it's
stockholders, it uses it's power in a
manner not contemplated by the law
which confers them. The use becomes
abuse and is tantamount to excess of
bower
GRIGGs' POSITION.
In strong contrast to this is the record
of the Republican candidate John W.
