The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1897-11-18

In the .sTribune's'' very interesting
column of editorial paragraphs. we find
this also, this morning.
Before election a prediction was mace
in this column to the effect tnat wuiie
the Democrats would make gains IN lme
Senate and Assembly yet the U
cans would carry the State by a plurality
of about 10000. By adding up the totai
vote of all the Assembly c~andldates IN
the State II will be seen that the ne
publican plurality was l0,I62-
There are two counties in which 1t
should be quite possible for the Democ-
racy to gain the ascendency and hold 1t
under all ordinary conditions. They are
Essex and Camden. In Essex we nave
had it and lost it. In Camden we nave
never got it, though from the nature Oh
the population and the conditions of life,
the county should be a Democratic one
Probably the principal trouble in both
places is the lack of a Democratic news
paper organ. Sc long as even the mlser-
abla Newark Journal maintained a
wheezy existence, Newark was held py
the party. Dull and dead as 1t was, the
old sheet was a medium through which
the doctrine of the party could be taught.
It was possible, through it, to dissent
nara and instruction among
the party workers, to be by them
retailed to the rank and file. Since
its demise. the party has had no voice
whatever. It has not even had the
means of denying a Republican lie-
Experience shows tha the New York
naners are totally uninfiuential in State
politics. The attempt has been made Tor
the last year or two to use the World
as A party organ, in Essex particularly.
It is only necessary to look at the cleo
ton returns to appraise the results OF
such reliance. That certain New YORK
napers circulate considerably in this State
is true, but their sale is attributable al
together to their yellow" features. Peo-
nile buy them as other people buy certain
weekly police publications-for their SEN
-sationalism. Their local news is ridiculea
as being always either old or Inaccurate,
and their attempts at influencing opinion
are resented as a foreign interference.
If Essex is to b. redeemed by the
Democracy, the first requisite is a good
Democratic daily paper in Newark. If it
is to be of any use in the next cam
naisn. IL should be started at once. There
is not a day to lose. 1t should be OUT
not later than January 1.
A Democratic paper is almost equally
necessary in Camden, for the beneft not
only of that county but also of those
lying south and east of it.
