REPUBLICAN CR[DUL|TY
They Pretend to Believe the
Stories Of Democratic
Dissensious.


NEWARK, Oct 12, 1901. - Hope springs
eternal in the Republican breast. At
least that is the impression you get after
spending very short time around the
HEADQUARTERS Of the State Committee at
Halsey and Academy streets. It must be
admitted that there is everything about
the material side of these headquarters
to make one feel hopeful. There is no
doubt that they are the handsomest, best
equipped and generally speaking most
cheerful State headquarters anywhere
about here. They occupy an entire floor
Of the large building and run over on to
the floor above, where two large rooms
are used for slaking thirst and appeasing
the hunger of the mob which are now
following the badly shattered forces OF
Mr. Franklin Murphy.
On the first floor there are nicely fur
nished rooms for the officers and sub
divisions of the committee, but that which
has the most attractions for the rank and
file is the one on the door of which ap-
pears in gold letters the alluring device,

be the room in which Mr.. Franklin MUIR
ply loiters, which accounts for It's great
popularity. Here is the throne room of
the Essex Kaiser, Carl Lentz, the Oneth
and only Oneth, and when your corre-
spondent approached the dais to ask the
Major about the situation in Essex his
majesty took his heels down from his
desk, shifted his half burned cigar to
port and gave him a hearty welcome.
Thinking to placate his majesty. your
correspondent made some complimentary

Kaiser insisted upon showing him around,
and it was during this tour Of inspection
that the Major was asked about the stu
alton in Essex He declared that it was
most rosy for Franklin Murphy and that
the plurality which was given to Foster
Voorhees, would be greatly increased. His
one and sole reason for this statement
was the dissension in the Democratic
party. He poohpoohed the idea that the
differences had been healed since the con-
vention and predicted that the men who
opposed Mayor Seymour before and at
the situation and will continue their OPP
position to the polls. They might make a
great show of harmony ana pretend to
cratic "a candidate, but way down in their
hearts they would still rankle and they
would vote against him and induce their
followers to do likewise; TO hear the Ma
jor talk one would think that Mayor Sey-
mour won't know he is running on the
day after election

easily as he blew away the clouds of

IAdyOI JdIleS M seymour OIL newark,
today sent to William B. Gourley, chair
man Of the committee which notified him
of his nomination for Governor a letter
accepting the nomination. The letter
which is an able document is ais fol-
lows
Honorable William B. Gourley and
others, members Of the Notification
Committee of the Democratic State
Convention:
GentlemenI accept the nomination
rendered by you on behalf of the repre-
sentatives of the Democratic party of
the State of New Jersey, and in doing
preciate the high honor the nomination
confers as well as the great responsibili-
ties imposed by the election to the ofrice
of the Governor of the State.
If elected shal enter the office free
from every personal desire except to
promote the welfare of the State and its
people and to prove worthy of the con-
fidence reposed in me.
Il have read the platform adopted by
the Democratic State Convention and ac-
cept it as the party basis of doctrine.
Pursuant to accepted usage I beg to
supplement it by some brief reflections
upon questions which are in the minds
of the people of the State.
Il believe in the enactment of such ad-
ditionaI proper laws as win further in
sure the care, support and privileges Of
the Soldiers of the Republic, whether
they be those who served in the War of
the Rebellion or in the war against the
Spanish nation.
Il will honor the repeal or the modifiea-
tion Of unjust or bad laws SO as to elimi-
nate their Objectionable or oppressive pros
visions. Every citizen Of this State prizes
the time honored privilege of local sep
arate election last year for the selection
Of municipal officers. The custom had ITS
origin almost at the birth of the Repub-
lie.
Last winter, for purely partisan rea-
sons, local, State and national elections
were consolidated in one. No other rea-
son for the change has been assigned
than an intent to discourage independent
balloting. and it seems to be reasonably
certain that that result has been OBJ
tanned
s.If elected, shall do all an executive
can to restore separate local elections to
the people of this State
An amendment to the Constitution has
been passed BY the Senate and House Of
Assembly which makes the term of office
Of the Governor four years. legislative
sessions .are to be held bi-annually instead
Of annually. There is some question
whether or not this proposed change in
the fundamental law has not been made

Agufnaldo said that he had always been

authorship Of the order in question. He
claimed that many orders had been issued
by insurgent military officers in his name

The American military authorities have
documentary evidence dated November,

GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. July Is.-opening prices this
morning reflected some irregularity. the coal
stocks failing to hold their gain and many
OF the specialties yielding TO profit taking
London sold on the threatened coal strike
and the Erie dividend seemed TO have ex-
hausted its influence in yesterdays mar
ket- The strong features OF the market
were stocks directly interested In the COM
munity of ownership plan. St Paul was
bought In round amounts and Union Pacific
after yielding to early profit-taking sold up
over its best record of yesterday.
The room was a free seller at one time
during the morning, but recovered the
sales during the advance around delivery
hour 1t is intimated that some further
announcements are to be expected In con-
nection with the harmony plan in the west
Just when such announcements are to
come is known only to the banking inter
ests. but should the market need a stimu-
liant at any time they may be looked for to
appear in that days budget Of favorable
news. Yesterdays announcement turned
attention from the steel strike, and made
the task of supporting the United States
Company's shares less arduous.
The coal strike appears to be matter Of
requiring prompt action on the part of
mine owners. The general strike news was
more encouraging man heretofore and the
compromise idea IS finding favor In certain
quarters.
Crop news was moderately favorable
rains being reported over a considerable
area in the corn belt and the revised es-
Inmates Of probable tonnage indicating a
profitable crop. The crop is not yet safe
however. and the market must be pre-
pared Tor numerous references to crop con-
dttions as an incentive to selling.
The money market Is acting naturally,
and activity without actual stringency is
all that bankers expect for the balance of
the season. Application for the listing of
S2dOo0.OO0 new stock OF the Great North
eTn was made today. and the rights on Mis-
souri Pacffics new issue have expired. 1t
is an open question to what effect the
new Issue of Missouri Pacific will have on
the selling price Of the present stock. There
is a professional following which inclines
to the view that the object OF the advance
has been attained and that reaction Ia
likely.
On the other hand. It Is likely that tho
rights were not all taken. except by in
Sluers. and that an advance may be ma
nipuiated in order to establish a profit able

ST. PETERSBURG, July 4.-The daily

tober. 1900. and became more marked in
April, 1901 No mention is made OF the
Russian discriminating duties. which be-
came effective In March, and 1t is not clear
what the article Is intended to prove At

Ing OF was especially marked in April steel
and iron exports.
The Official Messenger reviews the sugar
industry during the year 1S33-1900. It says
that by reason Of the easy credit then
