franklin Murphy. chairman Of the New-Jer-
sey Republican State Committee was busy Ct
the committees headquarters In Newark yes
,erBay when informed that The Tribune pro-
posed publishing New-Jersey edition. The
news pleased Mr. Murphy greatly.
He spoke Of the fact that The Tribune had
always bean a popular and influential paper
among the people Of New-Jersey, many of whom
had for years looked 1t for their political guild
ance as well as for the Of the day. and
he expressed the opinion that this course on the
mart of the paper would result in increasing its
popularity.
So far as the present campaign is concerned.
Mr. Murphy was most confident: not the conf
dence born altogether Of a hope that the Re-
pubcans to win. but a confidence born
of the knowledge Of the work being done by
the managers Of the party in all the various
counties OF the State. The reports which he Is
daily receiving show a most responsive condi-
ton OF the public mind toward Republican prin-
cipes. He said that the people understood per
fectly well that the Democratic party this year
was the old Democratic party, trying
under a new leader 10 retain the power which
It had many years. His reports from the
various sections u the State led him 10 believe
that the people perfectly understood the s!tua-
,ion and they were rot = be hoodwinked or
misled by the fact that the Democratic can
didate for Governor was a man OF capacity and
respectab,lty. Meetings. are now being held
nightly throughout the State. and they were
never more enthusiastic than they are at pres
ent AL the Indications point to en- increase of
this interest between now and Election Day. and
while II is at present too early 10 make any
hole cc
felt that Mr. Grigss's election was not only In
no doubt. but that his majority would BE- large
In Essex County particularly, which is Mr.
Murphy's home the condition and prospects OF
the party were never brighter.
Mr. Murphy felt that the party was extremely
fortunate in this campaign in having for It's
candidate for Governor 4 man VINO could in a
fcrcible and popular way pre- cent 10 the peopie
the distinct issues now before them ard ne ieit
that the plan Of the campaign CT the RepuDl-
cans was In sharp and dignifed contrast 20
that pursued BY the Democrats who in their
distress are resorting To misrepresentation OF
all kinds.
1ohn " Grjggt. the Republican candidate for
Governor spent few hours in Newark yester-
dav. He was looking well. and bore no trace Of
fatioue after his hard work in South Jersey.
''IYred9" he said Not q DIT OF It. / feel first
rate There will be no resting until the campaign
Is over.
Mr. Griggs does not intend taking any notice
II Allan L. McDermOtt's illusions, declarations
VI charges Those VINO want to know Mr. Griggs's
opinion of the ex-chairman Of the Democratic
state Committee are referred 10 the letters WRIT
ter last year by senator William D. DAILY. the
Democratic idol Of Hudson County
Neither will Mr. Griggs take any more notice
o. Richard V Lindabury. He knows Mr. Linda
brry's weakness for saying things that he Is
afterward sorry for At the time that Alexander
r McGill was appointed Chancellor no one SAID
harsher words about him than aid Mr.. Linda
bury.
The Democrats have neen distorting the legis-
lative records for the purpose of msrepresenting
John W Griggs II is not necessary. however, TO
d!stort the facts in order 70 damage Alexander
T NcGiil 80 far as his legislative career Is con-
cerned. The Assembly journals for lS7+-'o con
tain list of votes that Mr.. McGiu might Wen
wish to wipe out. He noted as one OF the
most weak-kneed and plastic men In the lower
house during both years
The fact that John ". Carpenter is not on the
stump against McGin speaks well FOR mis- self
efacing qualities Mr.. Carpenter may have for
given but he certainly hasn't forgotten McGills 5
vote expelling him from the Clerkship Of the AS
sembly.
Assemblyman Francis. Of North Long Branch
said yesterday: In spite Of all that may be said
n the contrary. want 10 say positively and en-
phatcally that Monmouth County VIII give
majority for Griggs." The Democrats claim Mon
mouth by $500.
Allan L. McDermott Is furnishing all the ar
gliraents" used in this campaign by Democratic
orators Mr. McDernott had 4 controversy in
1894 with William L. DAILY who has been renom-
mated for Senator in Hudson. and what Senator
Daily said then about McDermott is Of value now
In gauging McDermotts standing and reputa-
ton DAILY accused McDermott Of being Demo-
crat for revenue only and said that ne would
not relquish the Craftsmanship Of the state
Committee so long revenue is within reach
This was followed by letter in which DAILY al
dressed McDermott thus:
You have not denied the responsibility OF the
vicious legislation of the last Few years. W no
