AS stated, the indications all point TO
a concerted plan on the part of the
enemies of annexation at both ends of
the capitol to hurry through the appro-
priation bills and adjourn before action
can be had on the joint resolution in
the senate. This. it is pointed out,
would be the easier way to defeat, or
at least, postpone action. as once the
resolution got into the house, the di-
visions in the Republican ranks would
be uncovered and the leaders would be
forced on opposite sides. Some of the
Republicans who are opposed to the
annexation do not care to be forced in
to a position of public antagonism to
the administration if it can be avoided.
They would, of course. prefer to see
the question postponed rather than
have it brought to an issue in the
house. The Democrats, with compare
lively few exceptions, are hostile to
annexation

Washington, Feb. 27.-The house lead

most sanguine expectations. Not in a

GOVERNOR VOORHEES,, SENSIBLE
VIEWS.

Governor Voorhees, was waited upon
on Tuesday by a number of wheelmen
and farmers who unitedly appeared in
the interest Of an additional appropria-
ton of $4,000 for good roads and to
push along the wide-tire bill. The Gov
ernor is of the opinion that the bill is I'M
constitutional, on the ground that it
authorized only towns, townships and
boroughs to pay the bonus of 5000, or
$3.50 per wheel. 1t has been referred to
the Attorney General for an opinion.
Concerning an increased road appro-
priation, Governor Voorhees, said to the
delegation which urged it:
SIS it more important that we finish
the asylum at Morristown or appropriate
money for roads Both the asyIums are
now overcrowded; the state prison is
overcrowded in face of law, which says
only one person can be confined in cell.
1t is unfortunate for New Jersey that
her criminals continue to increase, but
there are 1900 persons in the State insti-
tuition at Morris Plains, whereas there is
only accommodation for s0O.''
State Road Commissioner, Henry /.
Budd, who was present said. that appli-
cations had already been filed with him
for 275 miles of roads.
"But where would that amount of
money come from ?" asked the Cover
nor.
Il don't know" answered the com
missioner.
Neither do l." responded the Cover
nor. In these troublous times we don't
know when business will come to a
standstill. Our revenues from corpora
tons may not be so large next year as
they have been this"
Director Lum of the Morris County
Board of Freeholders, was present at the
Conference.
Governor Voorhees, very properly in
formed a representative of cycling club
from Beverly, N. j., on Tuesday, no was
urging that the appropriation for State
road Improvement be increased 'sbecause
the Philadelphia wheelmen did most Of
their riding in New jersey" that AN in
creased appropriation was matter that
concerned Jerseymen Philadelphia

Jersey"

Congressman Pitney left Washington to

from the following recent claims for PEN

Fourth Ward. has been resident of
Morristown since 1885. He was born
in Mount Holly, where he attended the
public schools and the Mount Holly
graduating from the Pennsylvania Col
lege of Dental Surgery. Since his loca-
ton in Morristown he has been an ac-
tive member of the Fire Department and
acceptably served as foreman of hide
pendent Hose Company. The Fourth
Ward is now represented by Mr.. Byram,
Republican, and Mr.. Freeman, Demo
crat. The latter will probably be re-
nominated to succeed himself. Faithful
work will elect Republican Alderman
in that ward, and DIR. Dobbins is worthy
of the position for which he has been
named and is entitled to a hearty and
united support.
JOHN HENRY MADIGAN, who was
unanimously nominated by the Third
Ward Republicans, has been the efficient
manager of the Western Union Tele-
graph Office in this city for number of
years. Previous to locating in Norris
town he had lived in Scranton, where,
after obtaining an education in the pub
lie schools, he learned telegraphy and
soon was recognized as capable and
painstaking operator. During his resi-
dence in this city Mr.. Madigan has
won the respect of all by his courteous
treatment and the faithful manner in
which he has discharged the important
duties of his office. He has been
an active member of Independent Hose
Company for years. He is also promi-
nent in Royal Arcanum, Red Men, Odd
Fellow, and Knights of Pythias circles.
Mr.. Madigan is the Local Consul OF
Morristown for the League of American
Wheelmen.

OUR WORTHY NOMINEES.

The gentlemen nominated for Mayor
and Aldermen on the Republican ticket
are all fully qualified for the offices for
which they have been named and ought
70 be elected on their own merits. They
have the advantage, too, of running at a
time when the benefits of a Republican
business administration are SO plainly to
be seen. For the first time in its history
the city is absolutely clear of debt, and
the saving has been accomplished so
quietly and with SO little cutting down
of tho amount of work done, that
the citizens generally are astonished
at the fact.

THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES..

John E. PARKER who was named
as the Republican candidate for Mayor
needs no Introduction at the hands of
the CHRONICLE. He has lived useful
and busy life in Morristown for years.
His high character, excellent judgement
and sound business knowledge should
rally every Republican to the support of
the ticket which he heads, and in adj
dition the Independent voter can support
the ticket well satisfied that the only
way to keep the city out of debt is to
continue an economical business admin
istration.
EMILE HURTzIG the unanimous choice
of the First Ward Republicans for re-
election as Alderman, has been promi-
nent in city affairs since his election two
years ago. During his term of office
he has served as chairman of the Subway
Committee, the Street Lighting Com
mittee, and has also been an active men,
Der of the Street Committee. In every
position his duties, always important,
have been discharged with singular
fidelity and ability. In naming Mr..
Hurting for reelection the Republicans
Of his ward showed their appreciation of
the faithful work done by him as their
representative in the Board of Aldermen,
and we bespeak his return by an increas-
ed majority.
THE committee appointed to nominate
candidate for Alderman in the Second
ward this afternoon named Eugene J.
Garabrant. well known citizen and
resident of the ward. Mr.. Garabrant was
born in Mendham township, and has
lived all his life in Morris county. He
has resided in Morristown in all about
eight years. He is carpenter by occu-
patton and well known and respected
among the voters of his ward, who will
give him their united and cordial sup
port.

OWING to continued i'll health, Post-mas-
ter-General James A. Gary has rendered
his resignation to the President, who at
once nominated Charles Emory Smith,
the aole editor of the Philadelphia Press
Mr.. Smith is admirably qualified to fill
this important office. The Senate will
doubtless unanimously confirm the NOM
ination. The new Postmaster General
has had an extended experience; has been
minister to Russia, is an earnest, active
Republican, and known to public men
throughout the United States, and his
appointment, it is generally conceded,
will strengthen the Cabinet. His paper,
one of the most Influential in the country,
has been consistent opponent Of Senator
Quay and the political ring of which the
Pennsylvania Senator is the leader.

The general plan of campaign is
mapped out, but it has not been given
out. In a general way it is understood
that Cuba and Porto Rico, SPANS two
remnants of her once colossal American
empire, are to be captured. San Juan,
the capital Of Porto Rico. is important
because it is SPANS one coaling station
in American waters aside from Havana.
The latter is the capital of Cuba and the
chief seat Of Spanish power in America.

OUR coMMANDER-IN-cHIEF.

In introducing William Mckinley to
an audience in Indianapolis, September
25, 1894, ex-President Harrison said:
"He has endeared himself to all by his
record as gallant soldier, battling for
the flag. He has honored himself, his
State and the country by his conspicuous
services in high legislative and executive
places. do not need to invoke your
attention to what he shall say. He will
command it. +"
The endorsement made by Mr.. Harri-
SON in 1894 seems like prophecy when
it is compared with the course of Will
liam Mckinley since he became Presi-
dent. He has faced the responsibilities
of his high Office with unfinching cour-
age, and in the consideration of the
Cuban question he has displayed great
wisdom and diplomacy
We herewith publish a brief sketch Of
the war and civil records of the man
whom Providence, we believe, placed in
position which to-day makes him the
COMMANDMENTS Chief of our Army and
Navy:
William Mckinley was born at Niles,
Trumbull county, o., January 80. 1913,
being of Scotch ancestry. His grandfather
Daniel Mckinley, was a soldier in the
Revolution, distinguished for gallantry
at Brandy Germantown and Mon
mouth. Young Mckinley was educated
at the public schools, the Poland
Academy, and the M. E. College at
Meadville, Pa.
In June, 1861, he enlisted in the TWEEN
| ty-third Ohio volunteer infantry as a
private soldier. On September "a, 1862.
he was promoted to second lieutenant;
on February Z, 1868, to first lieutenant;
on July %, 1854. to captain. and was bre-
vetted major by President Lincoln fol-
| gallant and meritorious services at the
battles of Opequan, Fishers Hill and
Cedar Creek. He served on the staff OF
ex- President Hayes and Major General
George Crook, and after Crooks capture
he served for time on the staff of Major
General Hancock, and subsequently on
the staff of General Samuel S. Carroll
He was with the famous twenty third
in all its battles, and was mustered out
with it on July 20, 1865.
At the close of the war Major Nc
Kinley returned to Ohio, studied law
opened an Office in Canton, Stark county
in 1867, and in 1869 was elected prose
cutting attorney of Stark county.
He was elected to Congress in 1875
and served continuously in the House OF
Representatives until March, 1891. After
his retirement from Congress, where he
became famous as the champion of the
tariff bill which bore his name, Major
Mckinley was twice elected Governor
of Ohio.
This is the record of William McKin.
ley up to the time he was elected Presi
dent by an overwhelming popular
majority. His life since that time has
been an open one. AS the Commander
in-Chief of the Army and Navy of the
United States, Judging by his past and
by the more recent events which have
already become SO prominent in the
nations history, the interests of our great
nation are under safe and able manage

NATIONS CALL FOR TROOPS
Inate of the Several States Under Call for
100000 War Loan.

100000 War Loan.
WASHINGTON, D. G., April 2l.-T The
country's war call for men is awaiting
the passage of the bill through Congress,
enabling the President to call out volun-
teers and the militia. This is very likely
topass the Senate to-day, having pass-
ed the House yesterday. Its provisions,
it is believed, will be satisfactory to the
National Guard, their interests being
conserved. As it passed the House aud
will no doubt pass the Senate, the Gov
ernors of States are to appoint all regi-
mental officers and the President all
Generals and staff officers. The call
probably will be for 100000 men, $4,000
for the army and 10000 for the navy.
Under call for that number the quota
of the different States and Territories
will be as follows:
