THE FIGHT FOR GOOD GOVERNMENT
The fight for the Governorshp was not strict
b speaking. a purely partisan one. 1t was a
pntinuation Of the struggle for pure and honest
pvernment begun two years ago When the
penocrats elected George T. Werts as Governor
% 1892 they became reckless in their defiance
q the moral sentiment OF the State. The Legis-
k,ure that met in January, 1898, passed the
nstorious racetrack laws and Governor Werts
vetoed them in time to permit their repassage
ntore the outraged citizens of the State could
make such demonstration as would arrest the
h,amy on the threshold OF the goal In the
November following the people of the State arose
and smote the Democratic party with ma
jorty of $4,000. The House of Assembly was Re
publican and 10 Democratic Senators. The
Democratic managers conceived the desperate
scheme Of unseatng one more of the new Re-
publican Senators and thus checking the expected
reform movement to sweep out Of power the old

protests Of citizens and threats of impeachment.
end he insisted that the Senate controversy
should be taken into the Supreme Court. The
res Of the gang" consented. as they had been
assured by certain persons that the court was
with them. But the court stood manfully for

pulverized the conspiracy.
These occurrences were fresh in the pubic
mind when the election Of year ago was held,
with the result that New-Jersey went Repub-

Republican candidates for Congress. ali but one
OF the Republican Senatorial candidates and hfty-

such revolution was never known in the his
tory OF the State
This year the Democratic leaders made her
cuean efforts TO get back into the fold the decent
Democrats who revOlted In 1893 and 1894. Tnat
was the purpose that they had in View in nom
mating Chancellor Alexander T. McGill for Gov
ernor. Mr.. McGill has always borne high per
conal character. and behind that the old sang
concealed themselves. They peppered Mr.. Griggs
with every argumen: that ingenuity could sug-
gest He was lied about and his record deliber-
ately msrepresented. Mr.. McGill himself took
no part in the canvass but remained on the
bench attending TO his duties.
Mr.. Griggs conducted one Of the most brilliant
campaigns ever known in New-Jersey. He
travelled through every section Of the State and
face TO face with the people discussed the issues
He told them how the State had been plundered
BY a band Of political murauders calling them
selves Democrats. He recalled in his own charac-
teristic way The revelations of fraud and Villany
unearthed by the Voorhees, Senate Committee
last spring and summer and how the State
House had been looted 80 that Democratic ON
Gals and favored contractors might fill their
pockets.
The presentation Of facts made by Mr.. Griggs
ard his friends had the effect OF retaining the
support Of thousands Of the good Democrats VINO
repudiated the gang in the two preceding cleo
tons and the result now is the triumphant cleo
ton OF Criggs.
