Senator Kean Should Apologize.

From Sundays Newark News, Rep
As an illustration of bad taste, bad logic
and bad politics, nothing in the present
campaign equals speech made at Jersey
City on Friday by United States Senator
Kean. After referring to the assassination
of Mckinley, and Roosevelt's pledges tc
carry out the policies of his predecessor,
Mr.. Kean asked, care we to give force and
emphasis to the bullet Of the assassin by
declaring in the election of the Democratic
ticket that we will not uphold those poll
cies and the administration ?"
1t is to be hoped that when Senator Kean
takes time to think over these words he
will have the grace to be ashamed of them.
Such a palpable attempt to make capital
out of the assassination Of the President
passes the bounds of common decencv. A
vote for the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of New Jersey is in no sense con-
demnation Of the national administration,
or a mark of antagonism to its policies,
while the insinuation that every man who
fails to vote the Republican ticket ''gives
force and emphasis to the bullet Of the
assassin" is gratuitous insult to many
thousand citizens of New jersey who are
Just as patriotic as Mr.. Kean, and who do
not weld one iota to him in devotion to their
country or in veneration of the dead Presi-
dents memory.

What the Platform Says.
From the Trenton True American

From the Trenton True American.
The Democratic platform seems to find a
great deal to say on subjects about which
our Republican friends insisted there was
nothing to be said Concisely the platform
charges:
That Republican Legislatures are but
annexes of the Republican State Committee.
That the Republican party is under the
domination, undisguised, of the corpora
tions.
That its legislation is all hostile to labor
That the appointment by the Governor
of commission to gerrymander the wards
of Elizabeth and Paterson was palpably
unconstitutional interference in local affairs
the greatest that has ever been attempted
in the State
That Pitney's appointment as judge
to get him out of the Gubernatorial race
was the use of Supreme Court dignity as
a reward for party services.
That State institutions, notably the Tren-
ton asylum and Industrial School, demand
legislative inquiry.
That salaries should be paid instead of
fees allowed.
That taxation should be equal.
That child labor legislation should be
enforced.
That enough schools should be supported
to give every child an opportunity for a
full days sitting.
That United States Senators should be
elected by popular vote.
That the prosperous condition of the
State financially is due to Democratic tax
laws, framed and whipped through reluc-
tant Republican Legislatures by Leon
Albeit.
And when it is considered that these are
but topical heads, the illustration and
Celebrations of which would take chapters,
it is to be admitted that great deal was
found by the Democratic convention which
needs the correction of partisan defeat.
