What Hudson's Vote Means.
[From Newark Daily Advertiser. ]

From Newark Daily Advertiser.
The Jersey City Journal, in analyzing
the extraordinary vote in Hudson county
in the Presidential election, shows that the
Republicans polled the fullest possible. vote,
and yet the Republican ticket was showed
under' by great Democratic majority.
Looking to the state election next year, the
Journal says:
Without help from outside the local
organization must not be expected to hold
down Democratic majority which. as Ger
tain as the election Of another Governor is
coming, viii make that Governor Demo-
crat. Without official aid from outside TO
counterfeit it,
There is ground enough for the appre-
hension Of the Jersey City Journal, utter
ed right in the face Of Republican
plurality Of over $4,000 in the state. If
Hudson county can give more than 5000
for Bryan this year it is equal to a Demo-
cratic plurality of 10, 900 for Governor next
year.
That contest will be fought, too, on al
together different issues. Franklin Murphy
has said that New Jersey was now normally
Republican by from 10000 to 20, 900 plur-
atty. Governor Voorhees, got about !. 800
two years ago, and his candidacy was sup
ported by the candidacy of John Kean for
United States Senator and by the national
issues indirectly involved. There win be
no Senatorial candidacy and no national
policies in 1901
The truth is that New Jersey is less
partisan than it was and that there is a
large body Of voters who are ready to vote
for this or that party on principle, without
regard to party ties and cries. Normally, it
is neither Republican or Democratic.
There is another fact that should not be
lost sight Of. For four years the Demo-
cratic organization in the state has been
demoralized and its best leadership has
remained in the background. Next year
viii surely witness a thorough party re-
organization, the coming forward Of tried
leaders and a revival Of the party spirit
that has plueked 50 many victories from
defeat.
The Macedonian cry for help that is
already heard in Hudson county may be
heard elsewhere in the state before the
ending Of The state campaign next year

We are in receipt of postal card On

We are not well acquainted with Mr..
Gratz, do not recolleet having seen the
name in reading the history Of Jobstown,
Camden Asbury Park and New York City,
but we admire him all the same He's got
nerve, and nerve is a necessary adjunct to a
candidacy to the Senate from New Jersey
as an Independent Reformer. We fear,
however, that Mr. G. announced his candi-
dacy too late. His postal is dated Nov. :,
whereas all the legislators were elected on
the 9th, and majority of those elected
used the Generals money quite freely in
accomplishing that result. However, sure
things in politics have been known to
slump, and it may be that an Independent
Reform candidate is all that is needed to
walk over the General to victory.

From the New York Telegram
At present, and for many years to come.
the necessity of large American military
and naval force is too apparent to admit of
discussion .
SO reports General McArthur Of the
Philippine situation and outlook.
He further reports that during the first
ten months of this year the American
losses were PCS killed, $50 wounded and IS
taken prisoners total of 1913. This COW
ers only half the period Of the war, and
does not include the deaths from disease,
which are to be numbered by hundreds, if
not by thousands.
According to the report of Colonel Green
leaf, accompanying that of General Mac
Arthur, the whole number of deaths, in
Guiding those from disease, was 995 during
the six months ending with last July, or a
daily average Of ~. In June there were
1893 i'll out Of a total of 63,2s4 Regard
ing the mortality of the army, Colonel
Greenleaf writes The number of deaths
in the army has steadily increased, and a
diminution Of the death rate can scarcely
be expected The number OF men shot
from ambush by small guerrilla bands now
exceeds those killed at any previous time,
and as time progresses and the men become
mere and more debilitated by the tropical
service the more marked VIII become the
ratio Of deaths
A Washington special to the Herald
says that present expenditures on account
of this war are approximately at the rate
Of about SIP, 600, 600 per year, and there
is no reason to predict any material de
crease within the next twelve months
unless conditions shall improve much more
rapidly than General Macarthur and
others believe possible
This gives some idea of the terrible cost
in blood and treasure of the war. Com
pared with it the $50, 600, 600 paid Spain is
a mere bagatelle. And the end is not yet.
1t is not even in sight. In the sober judy
ment of General Macarthur the necessity
of large army and naval force for years
to come is too apparent to admit of dis
cussion.
Is the game worth the candle? Even adj
mitting that the United States wants the
Philippines, with its 10000, 600 natives and
1900 isles 1000 miles from our nearest
coast, will it pay to seek them at the price
added to the appalling cost already paid of
nearly five lives and s2,oOo,o0o day in a
struggle that may prove as long and turtle
as that of Spain in the Philippines and
Cuba?

Here's a suggestive political problem
which the Camden Democrat propounded to
its readers last week
IF Jersey City, with a popu'atien Of
DOG, 900, as per last census, shows il regis
tration of AZ, G0e voters, and Camden, with
population of 5000, has registration Of
nearly 10000, which city has the more
honest poll-list? You take the population
of the two cities in connection with the list
of voters, say Of jersey City, and We find
that the figures indicate a proportionate
registry list for Camden Of Is, 500 Or, if
we consider the registry lists of the two
municipalities with the population Of Jersey
City, the same rule of prJI,5I li0n would
make Camden's population over 99, 600, or
D. 900 in excess of what Uncle Sans CEN
sus enumerators accredit us with Take
any method of comparing the lists of the
two cities, and there's no getting away
from the fact that there's something out of
gear with Camden's method of officially re-
cording its list of legal voters.
Compare Gloucester eounty's registration
with Hudson county's and the same results
appear as in the case of Camden. The last
census gives this county a population Of
81, sos yet there are (, $50 voters registered
The ratio Of Hudson eountyls voting popu-
latin to the CENSUS is one voter to five in
habitsnts, while that Of Camden and Glou-
cester counties il is less than one for four.
If there is something out Of gear with
Camden's method of registering votes,D as
the Democrat strongly intimates there is,
the trouble extends to Gloucester county
as well. The only way we can account for
the difference in percentage between this
county and Hudson is a closer adherance
there to the law of residence. Our
election boards permit persons to live here
in their minds while their domiciles are in
Pennsylvania or Maryland, Or Virginia or
Delaware The intent" of the voter cuts
a big figure with the average Gloucester
county election officer If he intends to
live here, though he may actually reside
with his family in Philadelphia, he is
registered and casts his vote, against all
protests. The Southern farm hand leave
the most worthless portion Of his wardrobe
with his employer while he spends the
Winter at home " yet he lives here in his
mind and exercises the privilege Of the
citizen at the annual election.
Until there is law of residence APP
plicable to every county and rigidly in
forced by every election board, the regis
tration of voters will be as inequitable and
unjust.

The Boston Transcript remarks that
New Jerseys solid plurality for Mckinley
is an Indication of unwillingness to give up
the income from taxation of the trusts =
But the Transcript only reads from the sur
face of the situation. The most effective
weapon Of the trusts was, not the income
paid to the State Treasury, but the cash
paid to the Republican State Committee
and by it distributed throughout the State.
The floating" vote in New jersey is
large, but it is not foolish enough to be
bought by payment of taxation which it
does not receive. ITrue American

The suggestion having been made that
the principles of Democracy as laid down
by Thomas jefferson would afford rally
ing point for the reorganization of the
Democratic party, we publish that decIara-
ton:
This is a representative republic and not
a piutocracy
Equal and exact justice to all men of
whatever state Or persuasion, religious or
political
Commerce and friendship with all ma
tons, entangling alliances with none.
The maintenance of the state govern
ments il adj their rights as the most COM
petent administration for our domestic
concerns and the surest bulwark against
anti-Republican tendencies.
The preservation Of the general govern
ment in its whole constitutional vigor. as
the sheet anchor of our peace at home and
safety abroad.
A jealous care Of the right of elections
by the people.
Absolute acquiescence in the decisions of
the majority.
A well disciplined militia
The supremacy of the civil over military
authority.
Economy in public expense.
The honest payment of our debts and
sacred preservation of the public faith.
Encouragement of agriculture and of
as its handmade
Diffusion Of information and arraignment
of all abuses at the bar of public reason.
Freedom Of religion, Of the press and of
the person, with habeas corpus and trial by
jury.
1t requires very little of modification Of
thought to fit to this declaration the Demo-
cratic platforms of the past few years, but
the language is not open to the misinter-
probation that was 50 freely given to the
platforms.
