New Jersey.

New JERSEY.
The result of the elections in New
Jersey is no surprise to those who
had watched carefully and intelligent
ly the trend of affairs in that state,
but it calls for serious consideration
by the leaders of the republican par
ty, especially in the city of Newark
and Essex county. That the demo
Gratis should make a slight gain IN
congress was only natural, and, in
deed-on a basis of proportional rep
resentation-it might be reckoned
only just. But that they should make
such sweeping gains in the legisla-
ture as to leave the republicans in
control of it only by virtue of hold
over senators indicates an unfortu-
nate state of affairs in the republican
ranks.
1t was clearly recognized that the
chief stake in the contest was the
United States senatorship. Mr.. Dry
den made a strong fight to secure a
legislature which would re-elect him,
and in that he may have succeeded,
assuming that all the republican
members, new idea" as well as
regular" give him their votes-of
which, however, there is no assur-
ance. But it would have been far
more gratifying to him and would
greatly have strengthened his author
ity had he carried his wi city and
county. 1t may be that local and
other issues entirely apart from the
question of the senatorship had much
to do with the vote in Newark. The
liquor question was doubtless influ-
entail, and the personality of the re-
publican candidate for mayor was not
acceptable to many republicans. But
these are matters of which efficient
party leadership should take thought;
| and they can scarcely account for the
whole result.
There is no question that New Jer.
sey is normally a republican state and
that Newark is normally a republican
city. All that is needed is such wise
management as will harmonic and
consolidate. the party and command
the entire confidence of the people.
But that is imperatively needed, and,
with the impressive object lesson of
Tuesdays election fresh in mind, this
would seem to be an uncommonly ap-
propriate time to secure it.-New
York Tribune.

deadly dart. Instead of being his
own platform, of pointing to himself
with pride, of asking the toiling mil
lions to vote, even as they toll, for
him, he lugged in Mr.. Roosevelt and
the tariff. Mr.. Roosevelt is an ex-
cellent man, but not in the least like
Mr.. Dryden. AS for the tariff, it was
made in heaven, as everybody knows.
Mr.. Dryden is more s~acrosanct, more
august than that. He was made for
heaven. He has long been introducing
little sections and glimpses of it into
humble homes. What's Roosevelt or
the tariff to New Jersey so long as
she has Dryden, whose face illumines
a hundred magazines, whose name is
beloved wherever there is an under
taker?
For the first time in his life Mr..
Dryden was untrue to himself, forgot
himself. He did not make himself
the axle and linchpin of the cam
paign, the supreme moral issue. He
did not ask New Jersey to think of
the illimitable void the United States
senate would be without him. And
New Jersey fondly regards him as a
permanent, immortal institution, a
cross between a Sunday school and a
savings bank. She did not see the
danger. Only on Wednesday morn
ing did she appreciate the precipice of
shame and grief down which she al
most threw herself.
Saved by the skin of his teeth!
Only a narrow margin for the knight
of the Public Service, for the inventor
of thrift, for the champion of the
poor and federal life insurance!
There will be tears and breaking
hearts for this from Saddle River TO
Bivalve, and from Wallpack Centre
to Fishing Creek. Not all the beer
in wettest Hoboken can wash New
Jerseys shame away.-New York
