CHAIRMAN MURPHY's ESTIMATE
The State TO Go Republican with
$4,000 Plurality.
Special to the Je5seu Cifu Ns,n,


NEWARK, Nov. 2, 1S96.-Franklin Muir
ply, chairman of the Republican State
committee, estimates that New Jersey
will give Mckinley and Hobart 5000 plu-
rality. Mr.. Murphy's@ figures are conser-
yative. In the campaign of which he has
had the management MI. Murphy gained
a reputation for forecasts that were in
variably under ather than over the
actual results, and it is almost certain
to prove so in his case. He counts moth
ing except what is as near absolutely
sure as anything in the future can be.
Here are Mr.. Murphy's predictions
After a careful consideration of the
situation In New Jersey from the stand
point of the State Committee, I am led
to expect a plurality of about 5000 for
Mckinley and Hobart. New Jersey will
elect a solid Republican delegation to
the House of Representatives, the ex-
pected majorities for Congressman being
as follows:-
In the First district, Mr.. L~oudenslager,
10, zoe.
Second district, Mr.. Gardner, $500.
Third district, Mr.. Howell, 1900.
Fourth district, Mr.. Pitney, 1,250.
Fifth district. Mr.. Stewart, 5000.
Sixth district. Mr.. Parker. 5000.
Seventh district, Mr.. McEwan, 2,250.
Eighth district, Mr.. Fowler, $3.50.
The next Legislature will consist in the
Senate of Is Republicans and 8 Demo-
Gratis, and in the House of IS Republicans
and 4 Democrats, although 1t is possible
that there will be but two Democrats,
both holdovers, in the Senate, and the
House may be unanimously Republican
The only two counties in the State
which give the Republican managers any
anxiety are those of Hunterdon and War
rem, and it is not unreasonable to hope
that those counties may be carried. al
though to say that we expect to carry
those counties might be regarded as a
bold prophecy.
While the estimate of the political sit
uation that | rave two years ago at a
similar period in the campaign was re-
garded as optimistic, the result then
tive; and I feel confident that my pres
ent estimate is founded upon even more
substantial expectations.
The work done in New Jersey by the
State Committee has been more thor
ough and, / believe, more effective, than
that of any preceding campaign.

II there is any voter Who has not yet

National and private debts, for the rob-
berry of the widow and orphan, for the
irnpoverishment OF the laboring classes,
Tor the ruin OF our foreign commerce,
the paralysis of domestic trade and the
cessation of productive industries.
The election of this man means the
most fearful commercial and financial
panic on Wednesday that the world has
ever seen. 1t means that the working
classes of our cities will be thrown out
of work, almost to a man. 1t means that
those who still have employment will
find their Compensation cut down one
half BY the shrinkage Of the medium in
which 1t win be paid. This means the
ruin Of the retail s~torekeepers OF all

palatial combination house. Their ruin in
turn entails destruction upon whole

transportation business.
