NebrI ska.
The nineteen states in which the Re
publican candidates seemed practically
sure of success cast eight more votes
than a majority in the electoral col
lege. Nothing in the reports made by
the Republican state chairman indi-
Gates a change of sentiment in any of
these states serious enough To en-
danger Republican victory four weeks
hence. But in the group classed as
doubtful these forecasts offer the hope
OF sweeping Republican gains. Della
ware can now justly be restored to the
Republican column, since the two Re
publican factions are supporting joint
electoral and state tickets and their
combined strength easily exceeds that
of the silver Democrats. West Nir
ginias extraordinary industrial prog
ress has plainly changed her politics
Her people have drawn further away
each year from Southern traditions
and affiliations, and this election will
doubtless emphasize their purpose to
cement their natural political alliance
with the states of the West and North
Kansas promises also to return to her
normal political associations. The
wave of Populism has clearly spent its
force in the Sunhower state. and
another regime of Republicanism, as
Chairman Albaugh prophesies, is
about to begin. South Dakota and
Republican stateS-are placed with
equal justice and confidence in the
Mckinley column by the Tribune's
forecasts. Adding the votes of these
five states-26 in all to the 232 car
ried in Table No. l, the Republican
candidates would have within 13 votes
of the total cast for Mckinley and
Hobart in 1896.

ried four years ago, by Mr.. Mckinley,

ard Democrats against Bryan prom
ises to give Maryland's eight votes
again to his Republican rival. In Ken
lucky the Goebel law stands as Il
menace against that free and fair ex-

PROHIBITION PLATFORM.
Hudson County Convention

| The Prohibitionists celebrated election
night by holding their county convention
! in Phillips Hall on Bergen avenue They
| had the Beveridges. prohibition ballad
singers. to entertain the company at in
tervals, and strong speeches were made
| by Dr. James Parker, the Rev. ]. c. Allen
and George J. Haven, the State chairman.
Mr.. Samuel Wilson, the county chair
man, called the meeting to order and read
the call for the convention. DR.. ]. C.
Allen was chosen chairman and J. H.
Walker secretary. Thirty-two delegates
were elected to attend the State conven-
tion at Trenton on May s.
Samuel Wilson. Captain Joel w. Brown
and Rev. Conrad Bluhm were appointed a
committee on platform and resolutions.
The following platform, which they re-
ported, was unanimously adopted
The National Prohibition party of Hud-
son county, New Jersey, presents the fol-
lowing declaration of principles, and in
vites the suffrages of the voters of the
county in support of its candidates.
'.First-We recognize Almighty God as
the Supreme Ruler, and believe that the
principle of righteousness should apply
in government as well as in religion or
business. A nation that fails to recognize
or be governed by this principle must in
evitably fail.
Secoad-Experienc has proven that the
traffic in alcoholic liquors is the super
lative, social, economic and moral evil.
It saps the foundation of good govern
ment by debasing the people 1t adds
greatly to the burden of taxation. It pro-
notes pauperism, crime and disorder 1t
terrorzes public officials and political
leaders, and through it's fragrant and open
violation of law it encourages a spirit of
anarchy and contempt for all law.
Third-We demand the dissolution of the
license partnership now existing between
government and the liquor traffic.
Fourth-We demand the abolition of
the sale of Intoxicating beverages in the
army, on all government property. and
in all government institutions of the
United States of America.
Fffth-We denounce the notification by
the National administration of the anti
canteen law at the dictation Of the liquor
lobby. We deplore as the crime of the
age the devastation caused by the liquor
traffic following the flag into our newly
acquired islands.
Sixth-We denounce the Republican and
Democratic parties as the friends, part
ners and tools of the organized liquor
traffic. Their nomination and support of
liquor dealers for important State and
county officers in our last election merits
the indignant rebuke of all law-abiding
citizens.
seventh-No half measures such as
scratching the names of undesirable
candidates will bring relief; the corruption
is too deeply rooted to be affected by
palliatives. We therefore invite all friends
of the home and enemies of the saloon to
unite in support of the only political
party that is antagonistic to the saloon.
We believe in the home, in happiness
and in prosperity. The liquor traffic is
their destruction, the Prohibition party is
ther salvation.
