TRENTON. Nov. 9. lsss.-By the ver-
diet of last Tuesday New Jersey is one
Of the banner States of the Union for the
cause of sound money. 1t ranks with the
States of Pennsylvania, New York and
Massachusetts, and. in fact. in proper
ton to the vote cast. it's condemnation
Df the silver heresy is even more empha-'
tic than the record made in any OF those
States. Not even the widest prophet nor
the most enthusiastic partisan in the Re
publican ranks had predicted the astound-
i.s plurality of over 81 1000 votes which
rolled up for Mckinley and Hobart
When Governor Griggs predicted 10000 he
~~sinlled at what he considered an extrav-
agant estimate. and when Major Lentz
mentioned 1900 plurality for Essex eoun-
ty his associates tn the management of
the campaign called him q rainbow
chaser. Instead OF 5000 Essex made the
phenomenal record of z2.010. Nearly ev-
cry county in the State did as Wen N
proportion TO Its voting ~trength In
this regard Camden comes out Of the
contest as the banner Republican county
of the State. with its plurality Of lO,vZo,
and Mercer comes next. with its 1856.
Now thai the silver phantom has been
enectually crushed in New Jersey the
credit Of the great victory belongs to the
patriotic citizens of the State and not
TO any one party alone. The gold Demo-
Gratis worked z%ealously all through The
campaign TO bring about the Triumph
and thousands of them voted directly for
Mckinley and Hobart. The splendid or
ganization of the Republican forces I'M
dar eEillad Lea dershin of course. made the
victory sure from the beginning, but
without the aid of the gold Democrats the
result might have been otherwise. Vice
President-elec Hobart and the Republic
can leaders cheerfully make acknowledge
ment of that fact. The Palmer and Buck
ner vote did not run as high as had been
recorded in the, State altogether. simply
for the reason that a large majority of
the Sound Money Democrats thought it
better to hit the bulls eye by voting
straight for Mckinley and Hobart than
nv firing their ammunition in the air for
the sake of sentiment.
The Republicans are showing a proper
Shirt in their recognition of the valiant
aid rendered them by the Sound Money
Democrats. 1t is doubtful, however, if
the bold Democrats will accept any pat
ranaee from the incoming Administration.
While they are always willing to do bat
lie for sound money side by side with
the Republicans, yet on the tariff ques-
fion there is a wide gulf between the two
parties which cannot well be closed. In
