It is to laugh.
What Did 1t.

Since the verdict of Tuesday week was
rendered by the people, all sorts of spec
ulations have been mooted as to what
brought it about. It is amusing to see
how it puzzles the Republicans. They
are just as much at sea about what
struck them as are the defeated Demo-
Gratis.
Well, what was it? Was it not. after
all. free silver?
Two years ago, the coinage fallacy
nearly wiped the Democratic party off
the political map. This year, a vast
number of voters made up their minds
that the white metal was a dead issue,
and that they could safely come. back to
their old allegiance. But not enough of
them. There remained just enough peo-
pie, fearful as to what would happen the
public credit in case of a silver victory,
to prevent us from winning. The tide
was running our way but it had not
reached high water mark.
In connection with this view of the
case, the new declarations of William
Jennings Bryan that the currency issue
is alive are very lamentable. Does this
ing the National election again in 1900?
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-11-19

THE Republican papers are now speak
ing of New Jersey as a Republican State,
with quite an air of trying to believe it
true. Perhaps they are historically JUS
titled, having now carried the Legisla-
ture for six consecutive years. But if
they look back over the local fluctuations
of that period, they will see very clearly
that the number of counties which they
absolutely control is very small. rake
Essex as an example. It is true they
have carried it for the Assembly, year
after year, but they have lost all the
principal divisions of it in municipal
elections, and as a matter of fact its two
principal cities are now under Demo-
cratic government.
The State inclines to the Democracy
now, as 1t always did,. Only temporary
conditions divert the voters from their
loyalty to the party. At any moment
they are Fable to come back with a
rush, and, when they do, it will be to
stay
The State Is a Democratic State.
