1ne ssDemocratfcs, state COMMITTEES.
The action taken at Trenton yesterday
as only what was to be expected from
sach e crew as the present Democrat,
State Committee. Where there is no ont
OF larger mental or moral calibre thar
Colonel E. L. Price of Newark, nothing
bnt laundering and petty spite need be
hoped for.
III blaine rests heaviest on Senator
James Smith. who. if he had the
courage Of a sparrow, could stop
the nonsense at once. owning, as
he does. Price and other members
81 = Committee, he has only to say
the word to bottle up their silver enthu-
siasln and bring the party organization
back to common sense. Senator Smith
however. could not d. this without taking
up . definite position, and this is the one
thing Senator smith will never do. Ii is
not In the timber he is built of.
The campaign. his fall. is not a very
important one. It would be well. of
course. to elect a Democratic Assembly
to stop the plumber of the State n the
up-building of the Republican machine
Perhaps this result may be secured in
spite Of Price & Co. Local influences,
combined with general disgust at the
Governor and his party, may cause
enough Democratic Assemblymen to be
elected to .'hang up the Legislature. II
this gain be made, it will be in spite of
the State Committees idiocy.
The only other interesting aspect of the
election will be the election of Senators
who will vote for a successor to United
States senator James Smith in 1899.
Burlington county instead of w. C.
Parry; Cape May, instead of Edmund Lee
Ross; Hunterdon, instead Of Richard s.
Kuhl; Middlesex, instead of Charles B.
Herbert; Passaic. instead of Robert Will
1iains, and Sussex, instead of Jacob Gould.
Out OF these. two. Hunterdon and War
rem. Will be Democratic, silver or no
silver. Burlington and Cape May are
practically certain to be Republican. In
PassaIc and Sussex a fight might be
made for Democratic gain if the party
were united and the silver nonsense laid
on the shelf. In a campaign managed
according to the standard set yesterday, |
both counties are sure Republican.
The madness which possesses the State |
machine viii have more serious conse-
quences next year, when Congressman
are to be elected. If the Bryanfte bacil-
its still keeps the party raving, we viii
not carry a single district in the State
M more thar we did last year.

The Freeholders should have a care

They are none too favorably regarded by

careful, by next January the demand for
a commission will become so strong in
this county as to be irresistible. The

There is considerable talk Of bringing

Jersey City to investigate the Board of

There IS also a very good excuse for the

This appeared in yesterdays Evening

Mr.. Dear must think the public of Jer-
eey CITY very feeble minded, when he i'm
poses such balderdash upon them. Here
y his argument.
The voorhees, Committee is in exist
ence.
It's purpose is to investigate political
r~ottenness.
The Hudson County Board OF Free
holders are rotten through and through.
But the voorhees, Committee should not
Stir up this rottenness. because it is
teaching the voters a valuable lesson.
Could anything be more absurd than
thisT II would be trite to ask Mr.. Dear
Why the lesson would not be all the bet
~ and more valuable II the r~ottenness
we're thoroughly exposed by the Implying

The sJournals" anxiety to avert an In
quiry is easily understood. It would come
too near the ticklish subject of electric
lights. And Papa Benson would not like
that. And. Of course. the Journal must
take care Of the interests direct and pa
fernal Of the only competent newspaper
man on its staff. Therefore illusions to
the rottenness Of the Freeholders are
a~iternated with fulsome endorsements of
the electric light which at intervals illn-
inmates the Boulevard.
