Many Phases Of the compaign

What appears to be an effort Of the
Republican party to use the police de-
partment for partisan purposes was
scotched yesterday at a demonstration in
the Office of Chief Murphy of the pure
ness and cleanness of the Democratic
workers efforts to get out the full vote.
There were before the Chief in all fifty
Democratic workers, summoned there by
him at the instance of the Republican
machine. They were accompanied by
Mr.. Robert Davis, Mr. William D. Ed
wards and Mr.. John Mulvaney. After
impartially going over the entire situa-
tion and making a most careful examina-
ton of all the material and evidence at
hand the Chief could but compliment
those present on the absence of any
crookedness in the registration and he
expressed himself as greatly pleased with
the fact that there was much less fault
to be found this election than ever be-
fore. 1t was shown that in nineteen out
Of twenty cases where the police were
unable to locate the persons at the
places from which they registered the
persons had merely changed their resi-
dences since registration day. The ex-
ceptionally small number of fraudulent
names found was appreciated when It was
shown that less than four per cent. of
the names enrolled caused any trouble
whatever.
Some time ago Chief Murphy told the
leaders of the two parties that he was
prepared to make investigations wherever
they thought there was any ground for
suspecting wrongdoing. This was the Re-
publicans' chance and they made the most
Of it. They hastened to the County
Board of Election and received the names
Of all Democratic election officers and
workers and these names they sent to
Chief Murphy, alleging that the gentle-
men named were guilty Of criminal acts.
The Chief then summoned these Demos
cratic workers to his office and gave as
/ his excuse the explanation that their
names had been submitted to him.
The Democratic leaders did not make
accusations against any Republican work.

THE WATER ACCOUNT
Interesting Explanation Of
the Balance Sheet Struck
by the Democracy.

One of the stock subjects of vitupera-
ton among Republicans during this cam
paign has been the alleged extravagance
in the conduct of the water department
of this city by Democrats. The News
takes pleasure in presenting report on
the water account which, together with
the tables which accompany it, has been
prepared by one of the most distln-
guished engineers and water experts in
the country. The report disposes of Re-
publican allegations most satisfactorily
1t is
When in the course of political cam
paign an important branch of the city
government is violently attacked with as
sertions that it is extravagantly mis-
managed, the parties making euch asser-
tions are entitled to credit if their state
ments are correct, but if incorrect they
are Justly subject to condemnation for
misleading the people and in injuring the
good name and fame of the city govern
ment, depreciating the value of every
dollar of the property within such city.
A good many loose and erroneous state
ments have been made regarding the tso-
called extrayagant mismanagement OF
the Water Department of this city, an0

The only ways of meeting this deficit
would be by. first, directly inserting the
amount in the tax levy, or, second, in
creasing the already high rates to the
consumer.
If either course had been adopted there
would have been no deficit; it would have
been met out Of funds obtained from the
taxpayers pockets.
The alternative was to keep the presenr
rates to the consumer; to let the arrear-
ages accumulate and have them carried
by the East Jersey Water Company (by
allowing them interest at rate of 4 per
cent. per annum), trusting that the
growth of the city and the consequellt
growth In water revenue would at an
early date not only meet all charges but
also gradually wipe out all arrearages.
This alternative was adopted by the
Democratic Street and Wafer Board. All
may not join in commencing the wisdom
of that policy-it would hardly be reason
able to expect if but certainly any such
difference in opinion would be no war
rantee for branding the Street and Water
Board with either incapacity or extrava-
gance.

which, under the conditions, is certainly
not a bad exhibit.
The truth of the whole water business
is this:-With payments for water largely
to be increased due TO buying instead OF
pumping, ii was foreseen by those who
made the so-ca1led temporary water

a deficit in operating.
The difference in cost of obtaining

SOCIALISTS MEET TO-DAY.
Effort Will Be Made to Unite the
Factions.

Indianapolis. Ind. July 2s.-The largest
convention Of Socialists ever held In the
United States will assemble tomorrow
morning at 10 o'clock in Masonic Hall. The
convention was called by the executive
boards Of the two divisions of the Social
Democratic party for the purpose of unit
ing the two factions and adopting new
name for the united organization.
Delegates from almost every State in the
Union have reached the city. BY midnight
there were at least hundred representa-
tives here, some coming from places as far
distant as the Pacific slope, and others hall
ing from New York and Maine. Porto Rico
was also represented, while the Western
States particularly sent number Of men
to attend.
1t was said tonight that the convention.
when its sessions have been concluded at the
end of the week. will have accomplished the
work of reuniting the two factions, drawing
in the Independent State organization and
adopting new name and new platform;
The new platform, it was predicted, would
be more emphatic in its denunciation of the
sovereignty Of capital and more radical In
its assertions regarding the fundamental
sOcialiStiC ideas.
