Last Word to Voters.

The campaign ends with today, and to-
morrow will begin the great contest at
the polls. Both sides have waged a
political war such as has seldom been
seen in this State. but in these. the last
hours of the struggle, the advantage APP
pears to be with the Democrats, The
great majority of the voters have all
ready made up their minds for whom
they will cast their ballots tomorrow,
and there can be little doubt that Mr..
Crane is the choice Of a great majority
Of them.
But If there are any still hesitating be-
tween the Republican and the Demo-
cratic ticket we would like 10 ask them
a question or two. We would ask
Which do you prefer, a party which
conscious of having made mistakes and
fallen into errors, frankly acknowledges
its shortcomings and gives assurances Of
rectifying its mistakes, or a party which

Mr.. Bonnell does not feel offended at
the comparison between himself and Mr..
Crane, for, although John is naturally
modest, he fully appreciates his own mer-
its and qualifications; but what he is
vigorously kicking about is the contempt
uous manner in which Isaac speaks Of
him as '1janitor.a
Janitor, indeed To designate him as
.'janitor,y whose biography as custodian
of the State House appears annually in
the manual among those of Governors,
Congressman, Supreme Court Justices
ana other equally eminent men, is the
height of impudence and could emanate
only from some such unsophisticated
y~earling as Isaac.
Mr.. Bonnell is justly ncensed and it Is
right and proper that when Isaac goes
to Trenton he should have to take his
medicine with him.

point Of view. One story holds good I'M
I'll another is told.
The Democrats have never been more
confident of achieving a victory than
they are this year. They claim that
their forces are united, their organization
IS nearly as perfect as possible, and that
they will nave an abundance Of the ssin-
ews of war" With men, money and or
ganization they expect to sweep the decks
of nearly every vestige of the Republican
enemy. They feel certain that 80 per
cent. of the gold Democratic vote will be
polled by them and that the silver ele-
ment is solid for the ticket. They say
that the great bulk Of the labor vote is
on their side and tina they hold more
thar their own of the agricultural ele-
ment. 1t is a long time ago, indeed, since
the Democrats claimed so much. Their
satisfaction with the situation and their
confidence in the result reminds one Of
old time campaigns, when a Democratic
G-ubernatorial nomination was equivalent
to5an election. And here is a Democratic
prophecy:-Democratic majorities-Bergen
800; Cape May. 200; Essex, 1900; Hudson.
7,500; Hunterdon, 200; Middlesex, leo;
Monmouth, 1.500; Salem, 200: Somerset,

Union, LOO. Total, S,a0o. rms estimate
elects Crane by a majority Of 1890.
The Democrats predict they viii elect
Congressman in the Third. Fourth and
Seventh districts. and that they nave a
good fighting chance in the Sixth. They
believe they will elect State Senators ~
Bergen, Morris and Hudson, probably
in Atlantic. They pretend to be sure OF
tho following observation-disclosures, q,
Cape May, /; Essex, Il; Hudson, Il; Hun
terdon, 2; Middlesex, 8; Monmouth, 81
Morris, 2; Passaic, 2; Salem, 1: Somerset,
1; Sussex, /; Warren, 2 Total, ~. Thus
they give the Republicans only is Assem-
blymen. And even they incline to the be-
lief that they nay get a Senator in Mercer
county.
This may be called rainbow chasing
by the Republicans. but all the same the
Democrats say they have a good basis
upon which their calculations are made.
Perhaps the Democrats expect a land
Slide in their favor. II they do they
should give Crane a large majority than
thew claim for him.

Hancock's Guilty Reticence.


The manner in which General William
C. Heppenheimer, former Comptroller OF
this State. completely riddled the Repub-
leans claim to the support and confidence
Of the citizens of New Jersey because of
the economical and strictly honest
administration of the States finances, has
made the Republicans look solemn. He
plainly pointed out that instead of having
a balance of $1,000. 900 to crow over, had
the Republicans conducted the State in
the careful and economical which
they claim, the surplus should have been
much larger. This would have been
patent to all had MI. Hancock given out
a detailed account of the receipts and
expenditures of the State in the state
ment which he made public on Monday.
The receipts have been tremendous dur
ing the last year from the railroads, cor
porations n collateral inheritance tax,
and it will take much explanation and a
considerable amount of extraordinary
expenses, to convince the taxpayers that
with such receipts. and only a saving of
an insignificant sum during the year., the
financial affairs of the State nave been
economically and judicially administered
But the most significant point in Mr..
Heppenheimer's statement is that in refer
ence to reports at the beginning of the
year. 1t appears thai the Ubiquitous
Democrats, of whose iniquity Mr.. Han
cock is one of the loudest d~enouncers,
never thought it necessary to hide their
wicked doings in a miserable little tele-
gram to the Governor congratulating him
upon HI fact that there was a surplus
in the treasury without setting forth any
why and wherefore. On the contrary it
was the custom of the Democratic Comp
troller to send to the Governor and make
public on the first day of each November,
the beginning of the fiscal year, a com
prehensive report of the condition of the
State Treasury at the end of the fiscal
year just closed. This statement showed
in detail the net receipts of the year, the
disbursements during the year and the
balance in bank. It also set forth the
extraordinary expenditure and told to
what amount the war debt had been re-
duced.
The Democrats had nothing to conceal.
Conscious of the fact that they had
managed the financial affairs of the State
to the best interests of every citizen, they
had no reason to withhold anything.
Everything vas as open and clear as the
midday sun, and they laid before their
fellow citizens a full account of their
stewardship. They saw no reason why
they should issue just before election a
brief, ambiguous statement, the only
thing certain about which was that by
some hook or crook they had managed to
secure a surplus which on its face looked
large and commendatory of their manage
ment of the States finances. The Demo-
Gratis did not, when asked to explain their
statement, take refuge behind the law
requiring them to report to the Legis-
~lature, and from their place Of safety
whine that it would not be proper for
them to make public anything until they
had 50 reported. By thai time, the Re-
~publicans realized, the election would
have passed and with it all danger of
much Wanted Republican financiering.

INST a journal Lie.

Desperate indeed must be the Republic
can cause when its advocates have to
bolster ii up with the most impudent mis-
statements of fact. The Evening Jour-
nap' of this city recently e~ndeavored to
do the Democrats injury by reproducing
a story to the effect that if the Demo-
Gratis should carry this election Major
Watson, the assistant custodian of the
State House, would be turned out of
office and a Democrat given the places
This the journal" said had been prom
ised by William b. Gourley, the Chair
man of the Democratic State Committee,
and it goes on to comment on the Demo-
crafts bogus affection for the old soldier,
the Major having served during the Re-
bellion.
There is one man at least connected
with the Journals political opa
ganda who knows or who at least has
beer in and out Of the State House long
enough to know that the State House
Commission. winch makes the appoint
ment, is and will be for some time to.
come under the control of the Republic
cans. and the Democrats could not turn
the Major out if they would But this
makes no difference to the journal"
Such a mere trife as the truth would not
deter that sheet from making amy state
ment which in its Judgment might in
some way injure the Democratic party.

in a public school The Democratic
party holds that the laboring man IS a
man and has rights which corporation
and trust magnates are bound 10 re-
spect, and that the Legislature of the
State should be in the interests of the
largest number of the whole people in
stead Of a handful of railroads.
On the other hand, the Republicans
represent exactly the opposite of these
principles. The sole aim of their legisia-
ton is to succor and nurse grasping cor
porations. In their code of procedure the
people have no rights which a railroad,
gas combine or water syndicate is bound
to respect, and they defeated; last win
ter, Mr.. Benny's bill which was intended
to give each child of school age, whose
parents We're too poor to send him or
her to a private school, an education in
the public schools.
These are only a few Of the points of
difference between the two parties. but
they are sufficient to convince any hesi-
tating voter tina he can trust the affairs
Of the State to the Democrats without
any fear of h a trust being abused
That his cannot be said of the Republic
can party is amply shown by The dis
cussion of State Comptroller Hancock's
report. which has filed so much Of the
political horizon since the first day Of

to the Legislature the personal fight

The State was saved by him. and since
then there has always been a surplus,

John Kean's Suggestive Remark.

In a recent interview in the PhiIadel-
phia Enquirer" John Kean is quoted as
saying
In Essex I believe r. Wayne Parker,
Republican candidate for Congress,
win lead the ticket in Essex, and
that the ticket az a whole will have
a plurality of over 50, 800.
What a peculiar thing it is that a
Republican cannot talk of election fig
ures without his mind running to doll
lar~f
