simply and solely to efable him to wage
more bitter war against his enemies. in
and out of his own party. He started in
to reform everything and everybody ex-

to put the Republican party under his

There was only n thing wrong about
Mr.. Woolley's estimate of the universe.
He and the people differed in their ideas

He is not the first politician who has
made this mistake. nor the first who has
suffered the same bitter punishment for
his folly. Probably he is not the last,
either. Bat. from such men and their

NEWARK'S SPLENDID CHANGE

The cause of good government was
materially strengthened in Jersey City
yesterday. Republican sham and by
pocracy. was rebuked and the arrogant
and despotic course of Edward W. Wool
ley. City Clerk. was condemn in a
manner which left no doubt as to the
meaning of the citizens.
1t was a most signal victory and the
enemy was completely routed. They
saved nothing out of the wreck bur two
Aldermen. The Democrats swept the
city. electing both Charles Boltwood and
Ferdinand Heintze to the Board of Works,
and sixteen out of the eighteen Alder
men.
Democracy was triumphant in other
sections of the State. Mayor Lebkuecher
and the Riker family were defeated in
Newark. and the Democrats made a
clean sweep in that city, which Carl
e was so sure of carrying for Leb-
kuecher yesterday morning. Hoboken
also Joined in the triumphant march
and elected every Democrat on the
ticket
It was a quiet day inc there was little
or no disturbance. The vote polled was
comparatively light, being about 1000
less than that polled last year. The
usual crowds were at Police Headquarters
in the evening to listen to the reading
of the returns and a transparency at the
corner of Warren and Montgomery streets
told THE people of the great Democratic
victory. II was evident early in the
evening that the people had repudtated
Woolley and the cause he represented.
At ten o'clock Chief Murphy announced
that the city had gone Democratic by
about 1,6o0, and the Democrats had elect
ed about everything. The announcement
cast a gloom over the Republicans,
which still weighed them down this
morning.
A large number Of Republicans gather
ed in the Union League Club early in
the evening to hear the returns. They
were moi over-jubilant. but they gather
ed around the table at which General
Ramsay and a lumber Of assistants
were busy with the returns, with that
grim look which ~designates hope against
hope. They soon gave UP even that slim
hope as the returns began to come in
ana soon General Ramsay and his as
sistants were all alone. Captain Hooker
went into the reading room and sat down
to listen to Judge Blair read a poem to
console him. President Harry Holmes
took the matter ph~llosophically and re-
lieved his feelings by banging the worries
all around the table. Mayor Wanser sat
by and looked on, but had little to say
about the result. The big clubhouse
was lit up with a splendor that gnaran-
teed dividends to the Stockholders Of
the a company, but all that prilliancy
could not dispense the gloom wtich en-
veloped the few members who were In
the house. IN great contrast to this
was the home Of the Davis Association.
The parlors were crowded wdth an en-
thusiastic throng Of jubalant Demoerats.
