THE ISSUES OF THE CONTEST.

In tile last few days we have devoted considerable space to
presenting the candidates Of the Democratic party to the vot-
es Of the State in the light Of their claims upon support for the
Offices to which they aspire.
We have shown Elvin W. Crane as the plain, honest friend
Of the people, the man who will restore order and economy to the
administration Of the State finances, the man who will lend the
weight Of. his office to the Legislature to bring the railroads to
terms in the matter Of taxation, the mar who will scotch all
attempts to plumber the people Of such franchises as that OF dam
ming the Delaware River for a great source Of power, which was
given away to a favored gang Of capitalists, without one cent Of
compensation by Mr.. Foster M. VOORHEES, and the party whose
only truly moral leader he is.
We have pictured Allan I. McDernott as he is, a thinker,
and a fighter, a man Of extraordinary intellect, Of unusual men
tai cultivation, Of popular synpathies, Of determined character,
Of aggressive temperament. We have truly described him as the
man whom the Republicans fear most OF all in this State. With
him seated in the Senate, they will have no hour Of rest, whether
they be in the majority or the minority. With his comprehensive
knowledge Of State affairs. his mastery capacity for public busl-
ness and his vigorous and luminous gift Of speech, he will com
bat them night and day. He will expose their hypocrisies, he
will ventilate their conspiraces; he will conpe1sthenl to be hon
est, or else he will hold them up to tfe execration Of the public in
all the nakedness of their misdeeds.
William p. DAILY has earned the hatred Of partisan Repubh-
cans by his untinng warfare on their politics, but even in that
party he has many personal friends, won by his genial DISPOSE
ton. His record in the Assembly and in the Senate OF this State
is ample guarantee of his ability as a legislator II his party IS
in the majority in Congress, as a controversialist if he finds HIM
self in opposition. His abilities are not confined to the floor OF
the Chamber in which he may happen to sit. He 5 a ski1ful dip
lomatist in domestic affairs, and his influence will be felt in
Washington in procuring for neglected Hudson some share Of at
tenion from the Federal Government, at least a Post Office Tor
Jersey City commensurate with the population and wealth Of the
place.
The Assembly candidates in Hudson, whose careers were
sketched Yesterday ra,st he e1acfad in order to olive the DerpOc-
racy control Of the Legislature. If extravaganza in the State ex-
penditures is to be checked, it must be done by the passage OF
Appropriation bills pruned down to the actual needs of the gov
eminent. How can this be done unless the Democratic party IS
placed in control Of the Assembly? The Senate we cannot gain
this year. Our entire hope is in the lower house. Every one Of
the eleven Hudson candidates is an honorable man. All are
OF good, some OF brilliant, ability. All are deserving Of support.
A vote for them is a vote for the people. Every citizen should
support them.

JERSEY G|TY'S FINANCES.
Splendid Results Of Sound
Democratic Principles
in the City Gov
eminent.
FINANCE BOARDS DISCUSSION
Met All It's Obligations and
Less Necessity for Bor-
rowing Money Than
Ever.

Those Republican stump orators who
have lately been exhibiting h~ereabcuts by
praying about Democratic incompetence
in the management of Jersey City's H.
nancial affairs should have been present
at last nights meeting of the Board
Of Finance. They would have heard evil
dence clearly explaining beyond the per-
adventure of a doubt that under the
present Democratic administration Jer-
sey City's finances have never been in a
better condition, and Commissioners
Reuben Simpson. 3 Republican, admitted
that fact.
This admission came about at an infor-
NAL ak in the inner room of the Board
about sAe share paid by Jersey City to
the county expenses. When the Board,
some time since, ordered a warrant for
$4,000 to be drawn to the order of Coun-
ty Collector Dugan for the balance of last
years taxes, the question arose whether
that sum paid up Jersey City's indebted
ness or was only a partial payment.
Commissioner w. T. Midlige looked Ut
the matter al found thai it paid up the
city for the end of the fiscal year, and
Jersey City is the only municipality in
the county which has done so. This was
reported by Commissioner Midlige at last
nights meeting.
Every year the Finance Commissioners
have been obliged to raise none in an
t~icipation Of the collection of taxes. This
year the Commissioners did not borrow a
dollar until October !, and then they only
authorized the sum raised to be 500, GOO,
OF which sum they have today only used
500, 0GO.
Last year the finance Board, on the
anticipation OF the collection Of taxes,
borrowed 100000, and used it all; showing
a splendid saving by the Finance Com
niissionevs in stheir administration. Had
the Republican State Comptroller paid the
State railroad taxes due to the city in
time. Jersey City would nave been in the
proud position to say that it had carried
itself during the entire fiscal year with
out having had to borrow a dollar.
All the Commissioners last night agreed
that the city was in a splendid financial
condition. It had met It's obligations, and
there existed less necessity for borrowing
mcaey.
THAI is true" observed Commission
ers Simpson and Ringle. rthe city is in
good financial condition
This proud state OF affairs is entirely
due to Democratic economy. judgment
and prudence. and it is q fact on which
the administration houid be deservedly
congratulated.

voorheer Stops to Blaekgnardism

Voorheer Stoops to Blackguardism
The bomb which Mr.. Foster NJ. Voor-
hees set off out at Paterson the other
evening looks very much like a boone
rang. It will be remembered that with
all the flourish and mystery of an Indian
fakir. doing the great box trick. Mr..
Voorhees, disclosed a check for SIS pay
able TO H. J. Gottlob and signed by Robert
Davis. H.. J. Gottlob is a well known
labor aeitator who has been bending all
his efforts to aging before his fellow
waee-earners the contemptuous manner
in which Mr.. VOORHEES, has kicked and
spat npon the working man whenever an
Opportunity for so doing presented itself
Putting this and the check together, Mr..
Voorhees, gave his auditors to understand
that Mr.. Davis was paying Gottlob to at
tack him. Republican orators and news
papers throughout the State lave taken
this view of the case and Mr.. Davis is
unjustly and unfairly accused.
Mr.. Davis explanation, made in 'The
Jersey City News yesterday, that the
check was given in the regular course of
business, satisfies every man, except a
desperate, ofice-seeking Republican, that
the transaction was perfectly legitimate.
There are many legitimate expenses to a
campaign, and many articles are furnish

complete or equip 1t, has made that
expenditure a dead loss to the State,
while our overcrowded prison remains
a disgrace to humanity.
S-All increase in the expenditures for
good roads was also refused, though
there was lots OF money for desk hire
in all the State offices.
9when the Appropriation Committee
was named in January of this year,
no Democratic Senator was placed
upon it, and only one Democratic As
semblyman. The committee consisted
Of three Senators and five Assembly
men. One out of eight was the Repub-
lican idea of minority representation.
10-The refusal of the Republican party
to compel the railroads to bear one
dollar more of the public burdens, in
spite of the conclusive proof of the
monstrots injustice Of the present sys-
tenn.
1.-THE packing Of the Equal Taxation.
Commission with three railroad min
iona-yredenburgh. Rushing and Rey-
nolds-to two Democratic advocates
OF tho people.
12-The use of the bench to reward services
to the Republican party and the rail-
roads.
13-The deliberate system of juggling and
postponement, by which every attempt
to reform the condition of the Passaic
River has been defeated.
14-The outrages on the principle OF
Home Rule embodied IN the Wanser
Term Extender and the constant inter-
ference with the constitution of the
Boards OF Freeholders.
l5-The Delaware Dam bill by which a
franchise, the property Of the State,
was given for nothing to q favored
combination Of greedy spectators.
1.-THE failure of Governor Griggs and
Governor Voorhees, alike to give force
and effect to the bin for the console
dalton of the Hudson municipalities.
This act of negligence and Illegally
is deliberate. because. through one of
those frequen and criminal errors of
the engrossing clerks of the recent
Legislature, the Republican party
would be in a minority in the Commits
sion.
1.-THE disgraceful refusal to give State
protection to the Teachers Pension
Fund as requested by their represen-
tatives.
1S-The refusal of the Republican ma
j~orities in the last Senate and AS
semly TO authorize the provision OF
sufficient school accommodation for
the children Of the State ia munich

SO much for the men whom the Democracy sets up as the
representatives Of its platform and its principles. We have re-
peatedly defined the issues for which they stand. But as it nears
the decisive day, and as the need for final action becomes more
urgent, we believe it will be useful once again to place before
the voters the case of Anericanship versus the Republican party.
We therefore reprint below the Indictment upon which
that party is to be tried next Tuesday in the Nation and III New
Jersey. Voters will do well to commit to memory each and every
one Of the grievances which they have to avenge, and if they re-
cite over the list in their minds, as they walk to the polls, the bal
lots they cast will not be very far astray.
