CAMPAIGN IN NEW JERSEY
BITTER POLITICAL CONTEST FOR
THE GOvERNORsHIP.
Both sides Confident, With the
Chances for Success Nearly
Evenly Balanced.

Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
CAPE MAY, N J., October 81 1901.
The most bitter party contest in recent
years is being waged in New Jersey this
fall Franklin Murphy, the republican
standard bearer, is certain of his election.
the republican leaders say, while Mayor
James M. Seymour of Newark, the demo-
cratic nominee, will be the next governor,
according to the democratic leaders who
profess to know what will happen. Both
are popular men, but Seymour has more
friends among the laboring men and me-
chanics than has Murphy, If the enthu-
siasm expressed at factories is a guide for
observance. Both men are making active
personal canvasses of the state, and are
going through every county with selected
lot of orators and others. 1t is a speech
making and hand-shaking contest of the
most intense kind.
AS goes Newark, the home of both candf-
dates. so will go the state. In former years
this has always been the cry, but this year
it is more positively true than ever. Three
years ago the majority given to Gov. Voor-
hees in the state was just what he received
in the city of Newark. Hudson county
rolled out about IA, 600 democratic majority
as against the even amount from southern
New Jersey given for the republicans. Mr..
Murphy has never run before the people in
his town. except once, when he was chosen
10 the state assembly from one OF the us
trcts of the city. How he will run this
time is problematical.
On the other hand, Mayor Seymour has
been elected three times by majorities rang
ing from 1900 to 5000, when in the inter-
venfng years the republicans have carried
the place by from 900 to 10000 for the
legislative ard presidential tickets. AS only
state issues are at stake it is serious
problem for the republicans to fathom how
the people will vote for Seymour as a state
candidate. Ii he were running for mayor
again they all concede that he would be
reelected. With these statements, and
considering that the republicans have been
in power in the state for about ten years.
as far as the legislature is concerned, and
six years in absolute control, many of the
conservative element are saying that it is
time there was change of government.
Whether they will say so with their votes
is another matter, however, which will
not be known until election day.
Should Mr.. Murphy be elected the legis-
lature will again be overwhelmingly e.
publican In both branches, but should Mr..
Seymour win out, the assembly is likely
to be democratic, and much so as to
overcome the republican majority in the
state senate, making 1t possible for a
democratic United States senator to be
elected in case Senator Sewell should ieave
the senate.
Another condition which brings uncer-
tatnty in the elections is the merging of the
municipal with the state election, the first
of which occurs at the coming contest The
merging was republican measure, and the
democrats are making that matter OF
objection in their present battle.

Requests Extension Of Time.

The District Commissioners have received
a letter from Lyons Brothers of Brookland,
requesting an extension of time in COM
pleting the contract for the construction of
the wall at the Garfield Memorial Hospital
The request was referred to the engineer
department, and w. ]. Douglas, the engl-
neer of bridges. has reported that the cap
stones for the wall are of unusual size for
bluestone. He says that several Of them
have been spoiled by the development of
cracks under hammering. He is of the
opinion that the contractors have done
their best to complete the work within the
contract time. He recommends that the
request be granted, provided that the in
spection in excess of the forty days extern
sion be charged to the contractor, but
without further penalty. --..---1..- =,

There seem to be developments in the
Philippines with regard to consular
officers. The Italian and Uraguayan
consuls seem to have aiding and abet-
ting the rebels, and some kind of Bel
gian consular agent has found it to his
advantage to skip. The American con-
sular system which sends it's own men
to positions is very much better than
the employment of any kind of a mer-
chant to represent any kind of a ma
tionality as used by some European
countries. The subject was made the
material for an article in The Star a
few days ago.

THE BOERS.


Despite our rapid means of commune
cation, -or perhaps in consequence of it,
news from distant parts of the world
upon which interest may be centered
comes in of a most contradictory char
acter. What the condition in South
Africa is, what the condition in China
is, is equally hard to decide. Each side
in the contests has its partisans, each
makes use of the wires, and each pre-
sents biased statement. 1t requires
a very clear head to read between the
lines.
AS far as the Boer struggle is con-
cerned, it seems to be slowly but surely
the present war party of the Beers
may have in derailing trains and hold
in up isolated outposts, it is evidently
drawing down into hopeless struggle.
1t may be grand to be logged, to fight
to the last gasp, but there is such a
thing as being foolish, and by strain
ing too hard, reaching devastation in
stead of glory.
The longer the Boer struggle is con-
tinued, the longer it will be before the
country can be put in order, cultivated
and made habitable. The destruction
Of railways, bridges, farms, and the
total cessation of the arts of peace,
only put the country further and fur
Their back. If one can believe the trend
of the kilograms, there is a very strong
peace party among the Beers in the two
republics. De Vets raid into Cape
Colony, which was to have aroused the
Cape Colony Dutch, resulted in failure.
Very few Joined him, and those who
did are said to have been from among
the floating and unattached classes.
The colonial Dutch might talk SYM
pathy, but they had no idea of risking
either their property or their lives, and
they were very glad to know that De
Wet had started Northward again.
De Wet and Steyn have issued a
manifesto setting forth their side of
the question. The fact of issuing it
and appealing to universal sympathy
as they are trying to do, is an indica-
ton of their weakness. They have
played a good game, but they have
lost 1t is always a wise thing when
one has lost, to lose gracefully. This
neither De Wet nor Steyn seem to be
able to realize. They would stand as
better patriots by accepting the situa-
longing an unnecessary agony.

Among those who met their fate in
the ill-starred City of Rio de Janeiro
was William A. Henshall. He was on
his way to meet his aged father whom
he had not seen for many years. Mr..
Henshall came to this city in 1895 and
completing his study of law under
Judge Hartwell, entered upon what
promised to be a brilliant and lucra-
tive legal career. He was married to
one of our Island girls, and leaves a
widow and one child. Besides being a
brilliant lawyer, Mr.. Henshall won
many friends, and was ever willing to
help any one in distress. The bench
and bar showed it's appreciation of his
memory by having the courts closed
on Saturday. There could be nothing
more sad than his drowning just as he
was going to be reunited, after a long
lapse of years to his father who was
waiting in San Francisco for the boy
that never came.

1t is a very proud honor to be elected
for second term, it shows the con-
fidence of a majority Of our seventy
millions of people. No President of the
United States of modern times, has de-

eight years administration will go down
into history as the most momentous
era, after Lincoln's, which the United
States has seen since the foundation of
her government.

A word of sympathy and sorrow
wells up for Miss S. r.. Jehu, who was

writer of ability and answering honor.
This young lady had just obtained a
good appointment, and went up for a

tering upon her engagement. She was
most highly respected by all who knew
her, and will be as sincerely mourned
here, as she will be in San Francisco.

Honolulu will prove itself as good a
supporter of theatrical troupes as
ever. There is probably no more APP

first night and gives every troupe a

not good one it leaves it severely
alone.
