The Democratic spellbinders in their
speech making through all the State
have used as common argument that
the Republican party was guilty of ex.
travagance in the management of State
affairs. They know that this is utterly
unfounded The utmost economy has
been practiced since the Republican
party came into power, while the per,
manent improvements to State institu-
tions have aggregated millions of dollars
New armories have been built in Pater-
son, Camden and Jersey City, and the
State Reformatory completed, SO that
it can be used for the first offenders.
This has all been done without the levy.

5ANNER'S DISHONEST. ATTACK
ON WELSH.

The Banner and Index along with
some INSCRIPTIONS Democratic poll
ticians have tried to make people be-
lieve. that because Hon. Jacob W. Welsh
was foreman of the Grand Jury that
presented" the Jail he is in favor of
a new and expensive structure. The
facts are as follows: Justice Garrett
son who by the way is a Democrat,
instructed the Grand Jury to examine
the Jail carefully in respect to several
particulars and to bring in finding
according to the facts.
The Grand Jury. which is not a
political body, and which contained
such notable Democrats as Alderman
Burke, Freebooter Fancher and others
reported that the Jail did not comply
with the requirement. of the law as
explained to them by Justice Garrett
son. They took care to mention that
they made no recommendation what
ever as to what means should be taken
to make the Jail comply with the law,
leaving that with the Board of Free
holders to whom the matter properly
belongs. There is nothing in all of
this to give the slightest indication
that Mr.. Welsh thinks there should
be new Jail. For all we know he
may be in favor of repairing the old
one.
We think that the fact that Mr..
Welsh did his sworn duty as a jury
man faithfully and well even when
he knew that Democratic tricksters
would use that fact to his disadvant-
age, proves that he is a kind of man
that can be safely trusted.

The announcement was recently made
that the Democrats of Maryland were
scheming to steal the State on election
day. There is nothing strange about
this, at least not to Jerseymen. They
all remember how in 1894 the ''old
gang tried the scheme in this State, but
their rascality came to nanght, for they
could not make ten majority of twenty
one. Since that year the Republican
majority, in both Senate and House has
been large. If the election should prove
to be close one on Tuesday, there is
no telling just what the old leaders will
try to do. Anticipating defeat. per-
haps they will try it anyhow. The way
to offset any and all attempts at bribery
| is for every Republican to vote the
straight ticket, and see to it that his
neighbors ALSO casts his ballot for the
whole ticket. 1t is good one and
worthy the support of every voter who
has at heart the best interests of his
county and Stat.

Under the caption of'' Morris Canal
Abandonment the Index asks ''who
knows where Jacob W. Welsh, the Re-
publican candidate for Senator stands
on this Morris Canal abandonment?
Also Messrs. Whitehead and Brown,
the Republican nominees for Assem-
blymen, where do they stand in this
canal abandonment" The Chronicle
as we'll as every honest and fair mind
ed voter in Morris County knows just
where the Republican candidates stand
on the canal issue and onsevery other
question in which the rights of the
people are at stake. The legislative
records of Messrs. Welsh and White
head are open ones and in no instance
were their votes or influence detrim-
entail to the best interests of Morris
County.
At meeting of the State Republi-
can Committee, held in Newark on
Tuesday, representatives from the
different counties were present and
careful estimate was made of the
political outlook in the State. If the
Republicans will continue the good
work which is already we'll under
way, until the polls close on Tuesday
night, franklin Murphy will have a
majority of at least ten Thousand in
the state, while the majority of the
county tickets will also have substan-
tial majorities. In Morris County
during the last few days Republicans
have showed an increased interest in
the campaign. and it is safe to say
that when the result is announced it
will be found that our county has
done its full share toward continuing
the State of New Jersey in the Repu b.
lican column.

Hoover hit the ball to deep centre for
three bases and, after the ice was broken
one and two base hits were numerous,
but the rally came too late. In the ninth
inning the score stood to in favor OF
the visitors, and the home team got at
the Ianky twirlers delivery in real pro-

they fell one short, but the defeat was
not a bad one, and will doubtless help
