The Democratic papers have decid-
ed that the Republican leaders have
selected John I'll. Capsti ok as the can
didate7for Senator. This is very fine
but an error Of Judgment, for while
the party would gladly support him,
Mr.. Capstick Isl not regarded by him
self or any one. else as a senatorial cam
didate, he having an office that is more.
congenial to him, a commissionership
to which he was appointed last spring
Aprop0s of this subject lis of inter-
est to know just whom the Republican
leaders do favor. From inquiry of men
representing an parts Of the county we
find in the first place that the legisla-
tive delegation as now composed is
generally satisfactory, and but for the
fact that Senator Welsh personally
and through some OF his friends, was
understood to be Indifferent if not op-
posed to denomination the delegation
would have been retained AS it is
some of the leaders think it is still the
wisest course to pursue. Mr.. Hillery
has many friends who think he has
made an excellent record in the House
and should be promoted. Then there
are considerable number OF consery-
atiye Republicans who think that
County Chairman McGraw would make
an excellent representative in the Sen
ate. Other names have been men
toned in connection with the nominal
ton of men who do not regard them
selves as candidates or consider that
they are in anylikelihood of being call
ed upon to accept a nomination. Then
there some good Republicans who as
sumo self-conscious expression when
the senatorship is mentioned but who
are not taken seriously BY their neigh
bors. All this political talk is simply
history repeating itself as it occurs in
every campaign, Hot weather politics
is apt to run mad anyway, and to an
Impartial observer it would seem from
present indications that when the pro-
per time comes the Republicans Of
Morris county in convention assembled
will make good nominations for ali the
offices to be filed without interference
on the part Of the leaders" and all
hands will work together to give them
rousing Majority

JUST before the Democratic conven-
tion letters were sent to the county
chairman Of the several counties ask
ing for a report on the Republican
prospects. These reports were pub
lished last week. First class is the
way the situation In Morris is set
forth in the answer received from
this county. In answer to the Sc
cond question, whether the people are
satisfied with Republican policies and
legislation it says that there is con
siderable dissatisfaction against asins
of omission, but every other question
sinks into insignificance as compared
with the proposed abandonment Of
the Morris Canal,n The passage of
the Pigeon bill and the failure to pass
the Morris Canal Abandonment bill,
it is declared, will have a favorable in
tiuence upon the campaign. The
people Of the county are satisfied
with President Roosevelt and his
policy and it is thought that he is
stronger than his party, If a man Of
the Bryan-Hearst type should be
nominated conservative Democrats
will vote for Roosevelt. If a man
like Parker Isl nominated the Presi-

THE Democrats are taking great
courage from the report that Chair
man Courtelyou has placed New Jer-
sey in the doubtful column of States.
While Mr.. Courtelyou's moderation is
to be commended there is nothing in
the situation so far as appears on the
surface to warrant any such conclu-
sion. There are thousands of voters
in New Jersey, as there are in other
States, who think their civic duty
fully discharged when every four years
they 60 to the polls and vote for Presi-
Dental electors Of their choice. The
vote Of the State for the candidates OF
the two principal parties in 1900 aggre-
gated 1856, $50; the year following, the
vote for Governor brought out only
800, 495 a falling off of $4,000 In round
numbers, and the vote for Assembly
men in 1908 brought out only 3l7. 900
or 33, 400 less than voted for Governor.
With the fun vote of the State out in
November next, it is fair to conclude
the result will be as favorable to the
Republican nominees as it was four
years ago. The fact the old gang is
again In control Of Democratic affairs
is sufficient reason for conservative
men TO avoid that party, while the
young voter naturally allies himself

says -:
OF course, it would have been a mat
ter OF great satisfaction to those Of us
who have always been unyielding and
lnsiStent gold standard Democrats if
we could have had a declaration in the
platform committing our party in dis
tlnct terms to the acceptance and
constant defence and maintenance OF
the gold standard not because of an
unexpected increase in gold pr0duc-
tlon, but on grounds of economic wis
dom and national honor. AS protesta-
lions OF affection never fatigue, so
those who supremely love a safe stand
ard for our peoples money cannot
hear too often that the gold standard
is 1rnmutably fixed. Nevertheless, as
an original proposition, such a plat
form assurance was not necessary eth
er on sentimental grounds or to make
gold standard conditions more certain
They were as unchangeably settled as
they could be with or without plat
form declaration.
He further says that Judge Parker's
telegram committed the party to the
gold standard.
In an interview last week William
Jennings Bryan virtually declared that
he would have been compelled to bolt
the ticket and platform, had the st.
Louis convention adopted the money
plank that the gold standard men pro
posed in the resolution committee.
He was asked:
" Do you think Parkers telegram to
the convention and its answer commit
ted the party to gold 2"
& BY no means, he promptly an
SWered, OF course, the telegram sent
by the convention in reply to Judge
Parker's telegram, says that the mon
ey question is not an ISSUE, and
would particularly have liked to strike
out this clause. Nevertheless, it can
not truthfuHy be said that the plat
form was altered thereby, or that the
party stands formally committed to
gold, just because Judge Parker's nom
nation was ratified after he had de-
clared that he was a gold man. Z
Evidently the Democrats are going to
put such Interpretation upon the plat
form as suits their particular views.

Edward G. Stokes was born in 1860;
Charles G. Black in 1858. Both entered
the service Of the State In the same
year and have continued therein ever
since-Mr Stokes as Assemblymen
and Senator for ten years, and Clerk
in Chancery for three years Mr.. Black
as member of the State Board of
Taxation for thirteen years. There
has been no important reform or legis-
latiye measure adopted since 1891 in
which Mr.. Stokes has not been active
~ interested. What has Mr.. Black
accomplished? Why, during the thir-
teen years, has he inaugurated no
movement to secure the equal taxa
tion' that his party now pretends to
demand, and which might appropri-
ately come from a board into whose
hands are committed the work of
equalizing and adjusting inequalities

ANOTHER CHANCE FOR PARKER


Up to this time Judge Parker has
not expressed his views on any subject
except to say in telegram to the con-
vention, as soon as he had the nominal
tion clinched, that he regarded the
gold standard as firmly and irrevoca-
bly, established. Democratic papers
laud this sudden revision Of the party
principles by the nominee. as an act Of
courage. But there was not one
chance In ten Thousand that the con-
yention would dare withdraw the
nomination. To do that would simply
be to open the doors to chaos and a
general party explosion. Judge Par
ker had the convention tight, and he
knew it. But as his radical addition
to the party platform is hailed as a
display of heroism, he will have a
chance in his first remarks to the PEG.
pie Of the United States to recast the
platform In other respects.
Is he ready to subscribe to the plank
in the Democratic platform declaring
that we denounce protection as a
robbery of the many to enrich the
few? New York, Connecticut, New
Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia and
Delaware figure in the Democratic
estimates, but all are busy states in
manufacturing industries. Workmen
engaged in them get the best wages
in the world on account of the protec-
tive policy Of the Republican party
They will not subscribe to the latest
Democratic doctrine that protection
Is a robbery of the many to enrich the
few" AT least, they have never yet
embraced that idea. So Parker, in his
first speech or letter, has an oppor-
tnnity for another burst of courage
He can say that he regards protection
as firmly and irrevocably established
and SO it is, just as much as the gold
standard, no more, no less. A Dem
ocratic Congress and President
could change it all. AS far as the
latest Democratic platform is con-
cerned, they could do as they please
about the currency; and they would
be bound to treat protection as the
robbery of the many to enrich the few
unless Parker adds a telegraphic or
other proviso of his own, and gets
some more praise for manly courage.
