Incident Has Been Magniffed.

In consequence of these alleged attempts
of Chairman Odell and other republican
leaders who were in attendance upon the
banquet to prevent the publication OF the
story the incident has been magnihed
thousand times beyond its real Importance.
But for this, 1t is said. the incident would
have had no more significance in the cam
paign than the opinion OF any lndlVldu$i
leader of the republican party. There Is
no evidence to show that either of the re-
publican candidates, Mckinley or Roose-
welt, is in any way interested or faVorapie
to the Standard Oil Company. Roosevelt
is quoted as saying that there are good
trusts and bad trusts, and the position OF
the republican President in his letter OF
acceptance is similar in character to the
position Of Governor Roosevelt. The repub-
| lican leaders, according to all published
statements, favor honest combinations OF
capital and oppose ilegitimate combina-
| tions. Consequently Senator SCOTS al
| legged opinion regarding the merits or de-
| merits of the Standard Oil Company need
| not have been made the paramount issue
| during the closing days of the campaign II
| the republican managers at the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel had not lost their heads on the
night Of the Roosevelt dinner.
| No sooner did the democrats learn OF this
| apparent CONSERVATION in the ranks OF the
| republicans and their probable fear that
Senator Scott had been made to appear
second Burchard than they rushed into the
| breach in the republican ranks. During the
| closing days Of the campaign the democrats
| are attempting, as far as possible, to shift
| the issues Of the hour from imperialism,
which has not proved vote-getting issue.
| and the currency question, which has al
| ready been demonstrated to be vote-los-
| Ing Issue, to the question of the trusts,
| which seems to be an open and debatabe
| question at the present time. The demo-
| cratic managers themselves differ widely
| concerning their views upon the subject OF
| trusts and their only idea seems to be to
| stir up much trouble for the republicans
| as they possibly can.

Gain for Democrats,

New Jersey never SWerved from it's ale
glance to the democratic party until Mr.
Bryan became candidate for President
Cleveland carried twelve of the twenty-one
counties of the state, while Bryan carried
but two. Henderson and Warren, and these
by greatly reduced democratic pluralities
Nowhere in the country was the sound
money triumph more signal and decisive
The labor vote was cast almost solidly
against Mr.. Bryan. The size of the repub-
lican plurality this year will depend mainly
upon how much of the labor vote ordinarily
democratic, and which was republican in
1896 has gone back to its original political
animation. There are one or two other in
fiuences which will result in decreased re-
publican plurality. 1t is estimated that the
personality of the late Carrot A Hobart
brought to the republican national ticket IN
New Jersey in 1886 at least 10000 democrat
ic votes. part of this vote will be given
to the republican national ticket this year,
but any estimate would be faulty which
did not allow for the return to the demo-
cratic party Of large percentage of this
personal following.
In New Jersey, as elsewhere certain
number of democrats who voted the re-
publican national ticket in 1886 will return
to the democratic party this year believ-
ing the menace to the gold standard from
that party is no longer serious. Prior to
1896 the New Jersey democrat was a stall
wart partisan, and when he refused to vote
the democratic ticket IN 1886 it was be-
cause he really feared disaster would follow
Mr.. Bryan's election. Many of these demo-
Gratis still believe that Mr.. Bryan is a threat
to the industries of the country and thew
will vote the republican ticket, but the per-
centage, which is probably quite large who
will return to the democratic party must
not be ignored in estimating probable re-
suits. Their number is not large enough,
however, to excite serious alarm on the
part of the managers of the republican
campaign.

Conservative New Jersey Democrats
Concede the State.
ONLY QUESTION Size OF. MAJORITY
This Will Be Determined by the
City Vote.
FIGHTFOR REPRESENTATIVES,
special Correspondence of The Evening Star

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
TRENTON, N. j., October 80, 1900.
Conservative democrats in New Jersey
who are supporting Mr.. Bryan in this cam
paign concede the state to the republicans,
differing with them only as to the size Of
the majority. Chairman Gourlay Of the
democratic state committee claims the state
by from 10000 to 10000, and in this fore
cast he is sustained by eX-Sherir Robert
Davis, the Hudson county boss" Neither
of these men really believes, however, that
New Jersey is going democratic. They do
believe, with some reason, that the repub-
lican plurality will be very much reduced
from the figures of 1896, when Mckinley
and Hobart carried the state by 1882.
Senator's Sewell and Kean say for publ
cation that the republicans will win this
year by $4,000, but they do not believe it.
To his friends Chairman Franklin Murphy
of the republican state committee estimates
the plurality for his party at 10000.
The Election of 1898.
The democrats give out no figures by
counties and avoid all details. They talk
significantly about the small plurality-5,549
which Senator Voorhees, received for gov
ernor in 1898, and they say it proves that
New Jersey is again a close state. When
the returns of the last state election are
analysed, however, they afford no real COM
fort to the democrats The republican cam
didate was nominated against the wishes of
Senator Sewell and ex-Representative now
Senator) John kean and he developed no
strength after the nomination.
The democratic candidate, Prosecuting
Attorney Crane of Essex, was equally weak
and, as in the case of Mr.. Voorhees,, his
nomination was distasteful to some of the
leaders of his party. There could be no
better evidence of republican Indifference in
that campaign than the narrow margin by
which Mr.. Voorhees, was elected governor.
The total vote was about $4,000 less than in
1896. Comparisons of conditions a guide
to results this year must be made with the
returns of 1896 and not with the latest
state election.

Germans for Mckinley.

The German vote of New Jersey remains

teal of men and the last to be swayed by

democratic tendency this year than they
did in 1896 The republican leader in Es-
sex county, Carl Lent, scouts the idea that
the issue of imperialism has made any ap-
preciable impression upon the German
sound money vote, and no man has larger
acquaintance in eastern New Jersey than
has Mr.. Lentz.
Bryan Gains Labor Votes.
Bryan has made some gains among the
workingmen Of this state by his assaults
upon the republican party and by impress
ing them with the idea that he is friend
of labor and wants to do something for it.
The labor vote of the state is very large,
as in all of the principal cities are assem-
bled great manufacturing interests employ
workmen. If there was strong drift
among these wage-earners to Mr.. Bryan
the verdict of 1896 might be- reversed. If
there is any such drift, however It is bare
most careful investigation. Thousands of
these employees Of New Jerseys industries
own their own homes or are paying for
them on the installment plan. They have
funds in the savings banks. The foremen
begin at the foot of the ladder and there
Is no bar to any mans advancement. In
every institution where skilled labor Is en-
ployed there is spirit of conservatism, and
extensive inquiries as to the politics of the
men this year are universally met with the
answer that very few who voted for Nc
Kinley in 1896 have changed their mind.
Mr. Bryan's talk about coercion Is laughed
at in the Industrial centers of this state.
Republican Plurality $4,000.
While some Of the gold democrats have
gone back to their party and Mr.. Bryan
will have slightly-increased following
| among the workingmen, these advan-
taees to the democratic candidate ap-
pear to be .neutralized by lack of unity
among the democratic politicians, and a
lukewarmness which gives rise to the sus.
picion that they expect Mr.. Bryan's de.
| feat and are reconciled to it in advance
1t is difficult to put the probable repub
l.Iican plurality into figures, but it can hard
ly be less than $1,000 and may exceed
| 10000.

on the arm of the doctor passed out Of
his house and down the busy Kew road.

The Actress Was Feted.

A few weeks ago a pretty little Paris
ian actress was appearing at q theater
in Geneva. On the last night Of the
play o tall, w%ell-dressed man sent in
his card and asked permission to thank
her personally for the pleasure that her
performance had given him. He enter
tanned her at supper, and asked per-
mission to zee her of ut the station on
the following day. He arrived with his
groom, who was carrying q tremendous
bouquet Of flowers. He told her that
he had tele raphed to his brother, who
was in Paris, and who had influence
both with the press and the theatrical
managers, and that he would meet her
on her arrival in Paris.
To the establishment Of the actress all
this turned out to be true, and she found
a magnificent carriage at the station. A
fine dinner followed. The girl was
dumb with establishment. Her host
told her that 1t was all for the sake Of
his brother, whom he loved dearly, and
he spoke pathetically Of the beautiful
bouquet she carried, and which was
made up of the flowers culled in the
garden Of the old homestead. She
offered him the bouquet instantly, and
he accepted 1t with q thousand thanks.
Now she has found out why she was
treated 70 well. She had been the
