NEW JERSEY REPUBLICAN
Trenton, N j., Nov. Returns
from the various counties Of the state
give Franklin Murphy, the Republican
candidate for governor, a plurality
of 1880 over James NJ. Seymour,
Democrat.
This is more than three times as
much as Voorhees, obtained for gov
ernor three years ago and about one
third the sweeping majority the state
gave the national Republican ticket a
year ago. Every county but four gave
Murphy maiorities. Hudson county,
which is generally good for at least
10000 Democratic, failed to reach that
figure by 1900. Camden county.
where Seymour was expected to run
very strong, despite the fact that the
county is Republican, gave Murphy
4.745 McKinley's plurality in the
county was s,S67, and three years ago
Voorhees, carried it by 4,105. Essex.
which was the home county OF both
candidates. and where Seymour was
expected to wipe out Republican
majority and sbtain a thousand or so
for himself. gave Murphy 6,773. Es-
sex gave Mckinley 1858 year ago.
and Voorhees, 4,6S7 three years ago.
This victory is made all the more
decisive from the fact that Mr.. Sey-
mour was believed to be the strongest
man the Democrats could nominate.
