HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY,
In 1606, King James of England granted a new patent
for Virginia (ignoring that of Sir Walter Raleigh, dated
in 1584), in which was included the territory now known
as the New England States and New York, Ntw Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Maryland. The possession of Eastern
New Jersey was claimed by the Dutch, the Swedes claim-
ing the right to the Western portion. The former built
Fort Nassau, on the Delaware, near Gloucester; Fort
Orange, on the Hudson, near Albany; and the Hirsse of
Good Hope, on the Connecticut; t^e latter found the set-
tlements along the Delaware river, after the Dutch built
Nassau, the t )rt not being of sufficient strength to main-
tain their shadowy claims. Disputes as to the rightful
possession of territory continued for years, until the early
spring of 1 664, when Charles II. sold to his brother James,
Duke of York, "all that tract of land adjacent to New
England, and lying and being to the westward of Long
Island ; bounded on the east part by the main sea 2iud
part by the Hudson river, and hath upon the west Dela-
ware bay or river, and extendeth southward to the main
ocean as far as Cape May, at the mouth of Delaware bay,
and to the northward as far as the northernmost branch
of said bay or river of Delaware, which is forty-one de-
grees and forty minutes of latitude, and worketh over
thence in a straight line lo Hudson river, which said tract
of land is hereafter to be called by the name or names of
Nova C^sarea or New Jersey." James soon sold this
to Lord Berkeley and Sir George Carteret.
The name was given in honor of Carteret, on account
of his gallant defense of the Island of Jersey, at the time
he was Governor of the island.
This grant regarded the Dutch and Swedes as intruders,
and Berkeley and Carteret not only became rulers, but
acquired the right to transfer the privilege to others.
Measures were speedily devised for peopling and govern-
ing the country. The proprietors published a constitu-
tion, dated February 10th, 1664, by which the government
of the province was to be exercised by a Governor and
Council and General Assembly. The Governor was to
receive his appointment from the proprietors; the Coun-
cil was to be selected by the Governor, who might make
choice of six Councilors, at least (or twelve, at mosf), or
any even number between six and twelve.
On the same day that the instrument of government
wras signed, Philip Carteret, a brother of one of the pro-
(7)
8 EISTOR Y OF NEW JERSEY.
prietors, received a commisson as Governor of New Jersey.
He landed at Elizabeth in August, 1665.
The precise date of the first settlements in New Jersey
is not known, though it is believed that the Danes or Nor-
wegians, who crossed the Atlantic with the Dutch colo-
nists, began a settlement at Bergen about the year 1624.
About ten years previous, an attempt was ma le to form a
setilement at Jersey City. In 1623, the Dutch West India
Company sent out a ship under the command of Capt.
Cornelius Jacobse Mey , who entered the Delaware bay and
gave hianame to its northern cape, and, sailing up the river
to Gloucester, built Fort Nassau, which may be considered
the first permanent settlement of the State.
Upon the arrival of Governor Carteret, he entered at
on e upon a vigorous discharge of his duties. A large
number of settlers flocked thither, and at an early period
1 he executive authority of the province was established by
the appointment of a Cc uncil, composed of Captain Nich-
olas Varlett, Daniel Pierce, Eobert Bond, Samuel Edsall,
Kobert Varquellen ai.d William Pardon. James Bollen
was appointed Secretary of the province.
The first Legislative Assembly in the history of New
Jersey met at Elizabethtown, on the 26th of May, 1668,
The session lasted four days, and was characterized by har-
mony and strict attention to the business for which the
Burgesses and Kepresentatives were summoned by Gov-
ernor Carteret. It may be noted that this Assembly passed
laws by which twelve distinct offenses were made punibh-
able with dtath. The Assembly adjourned sine die, and
seven years elapsed before another convened. The cap-
ture of New York by the Datch, July 30th, ]673, was fol-
lowed by the subjection of the surrounding country,
including the province of New Jersey. The whole of the
territory, however, swung back to the possession of the
English crown, by the treaty of peace with Holland, on
the 9th of February, 1674.
The second General Assembly began its session on the
5th of November, 1675. Eight members of Council, in-
cluding the Governor, were present, and fourteen Repre-
sentatives appeared from the towns. Laws were enacted
lookiEg to the proper military defense of the province,
for the institution of regular courts, and for the assessment
of taxes. A code of capital laws was also adopted, similar
in its provisions to that passed in 1668.
On the 18th of March, 1673, Lord Berkeley, one of the
original proprietors of New Jersey, disposed of his right
and interest in the province to John Fenwick and Edward
HISTORY OF NEW JERSEY. 9
Byllinge, members of the Society of Quakers, or Friends,
who paid the sum of £1,000 for the same. John Fenwick
received the conveyance in trust for Edward Byllinge, and
a dispute as to the terms having arisen, William Penn was
called in as arbitrator. He gave one tenth of the province
and a considerable sum of money to Fenwick, and the
remainder of the territory was adjudged to be the property
of Byllinge. A permanent settlement was made at Salem, in
Jime, 1675, and settlements were made at Burlington, "ye
falls of ye Delaware" or Trenton, and a flourishing whaling
station established at Cape May.
Owing to the continued disputations and dissensions, a
division of the territory of the province was agreed upon.
By this "Indenture Quintipartite," dated July Ist, 1676, the
line of division was made to extend across the province, from
Little Egg Harbor to a point in the Delaware river in forty
one degrees of north latitude. These divisions were known
respectively as East and West Jersey, until the charters of
both were surrendered, and the two portions included
together under a royal government
By the retrocession of New Jersey to Great Britain, by
the treaty of 1674, the question arose whether the title re-
turned to the proprietors or to the King To avoid all diffi-
culty, the King recognized the claim of Carteret, and made a
new grant to the Duke of York, who also executed a fresh
conveyance to Carteret, covering, however, only a part of the
original territory of New Jersey. But, before making this
conveyance, the Duke included the province in a commission
given to Sir Edmund Audros, Governor of New York, who
refused to recognize the authority, as Governor, of Philip
Carteret, arrested all magistrates who would not submit to his
own jurisdiction, and finally, on April 30th, 1680, carried
Carteret himself prisoner to New York The Duke was
finally prevailed upon to acknowledge the claims of the pro-
prietors, and in 1681 the government of Andros came to an
end.
East Jersey, in February, 1682, was purchased by William
Penn and eleven other Quakers for £3,400. The first Gov-
ernor under the new proprietors was Robert Barclay, a
Scotchman, and one of the twelve purchasers, under whom
the country became an asylum for the oppressed members of
his creed, and f<ir a time enjoyed great prosperity. But the
number of proprietors, the frequent sub-divisions and trans-
fers of shares, and various other difficulties in the way of
good government, soon involved the province in trouble, and
in 17o2 the proprietors surrendered the rights of government
to the Crown.
10 LIST OF GOVERNORS.
Queen Anne appointed Lord Cornbury Governor of New
York and New Jersey, but each continued to have a sep-
arate Assembly. In 1738, New Jersey petitioned for a dis-
tinct administration, and Lewis Morris was appointed
Governor. The population was then about 40,000 The
last Royal Governor was William Franklin, the illegiti-
mate son of Benjamin Franklin. A State Constitution
was adopted July 2d, 1776, and some of the most import-
ant battles of the Revolution took place upon its soil.
Among these were the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Red
Bank and Monmouth.
The first Legislature met at Princeton, in August, 1776,
and chose William Livingston, Governor. The Federal
Constitution was adopted by a unanimous vote, Decem-
ber 18th, 1787. The State Capital was established at
Trenton, in 1790.
New Jersey, out of 98,806 men liable to do military duty,
furnished 88,305 during the civil war, being 10,057 in ex-
cess of the number called for by the general government,
and within 10,501 of her entire militia at that time. 01
this number 79,348 served with State organizations, and
the remainder in regiments of other States. The naval
and marine enlistments from New Jersey numbered 4,853.
The entire expense to the State for organizing, equipping,
subsisting, supplying and transporting her troops, was
$2,894,384.99.

DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
OF THE
UNITED STATES.
When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary
for one people to dissolve the political banck which have con-
nected them with another, and to assume, among the powers
of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws
of nature and of nature's God entitle them, a decent respect
to the opinions of mankind reqtiires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are
created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with
certain nnalienul)le rigiits; that among these are life, liberty
and the pursuits of happiness. That, to secure these rights,
governments are instituted among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the governed ; that whenever any
f )rra of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is
the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a
new government, laying its foundations on such jn-inciples,
and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem
most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence,
indeed, will dictate that governments long establislied shouhl
not be changed for light and transient causes ; and accordingly,
all experience hath shown that mankind are more dispts.d to
suffer, while evils are sutlerable, than to right themselves by
abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But,
when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invari-
ably the same object, evinces a design to reduce them imder
absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw
off such government, and to provide new guards fir their
future s 'curity. Such has been the patient sufferance of tliese
colonic^, and such is now the necessity whicii constrains them
to alter iheir former systems of government. The history (-f
the present \ing of Great Britain is a history of repeated
injuries and usurpations, all having, in direct object, the estab-
lishment of an absolute tyranny over these States. To prove
this, let facts be submitted to a candid world:
He has refused his assent to laws the most wholesome and
necessary for the public good.
(13)
14 DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
He lias forbidden his Governors to pass laws of immediate
and ])ressing importance, nnless suspended in their operations
till his assent should be obtained; and when so suspended, he
has utterly neglected to attend to them.
Pie has refused to pass other laws for the accommodation of
large districts of people, unless those people would relinquish
the right of representation in the Legislature— a right ines-
timable to them, and formidable to tyrants only.
He has called together legislative bodies at places unusual,
uncomfortable and distant from the repository of their public
records, for the sole purpose of fatiguing them into compliance
with his measures.
He has dissolved representative houses repeatedly, for
opposing, with manly firmness, his invasions on the rights of
the i)eople.
Pie has refused, for a long time after such dissolutions, to
cause others to be elected ; whereby the legislative powers,
incapable of annihilation, have returned to the people at large
for tlieir exercise ; the State remaining, in the meantime,
exposed to all the dangers of invasions from without, and con-
vulsions within.
He has endeavored to prevent the population of these
States; for that purpose, obstructing the laws for the natural-
ization of foreigners ; refusing to pass others to encourage
their migration hither, and raising the conditions of new
appropriations of lands.
He has obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing
his assent to laws for establishing judiciary powers.
He has nuide judges dependent on his Avill alone, for the
tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their
salaries.
He has erected a multitude of new offices, and sent hither
swarms of officers to harass our people, and eat out their
substance.
He has kept among us in times of peace, standing armies,
without the consent of our Legislatures.
He has affected to render the military independent of, and
superior to, the civil power.
He has combined, with others, to subject us to a jurisdiction
foreign to our constitutions, and unacknowledged by our laws;
giving his assent to their acts of pretended legislation :
For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us ;
For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishnient, for
any murders which they should commit on the inhabitants of
these States ;
For cutting off" our trade with all parts of the world ; ,
For imposing taxes on us without our consent ;
DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 15
For depriving us, in many cases, of the benefit of trial by
For transporting us beyond seas to be tried for pretended
offenses ;
For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neigh-
Doring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government,
and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an
example and lit instrument for introducing the same absolute
rule into these colonies ;
For taking away our charters, abolishing our most valuable
laws, and altering, fundamentally, the forms of our govern-
ments ;
For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring them-
selves investetl with power to legislate for us in all cases
whatsoever.
He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of
his protection, and waging war against us.
He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burned our
towns, and destroyed the lives of our people.
;He is, at this time, transporting large armies of foreign
mercenaries to complete the works of death, desolation and
tyranny, already begun, with circumstances of cruelty and
perfidy 6;;arcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, and
totally unworthy the head of a civilized nation.
He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken captive on
the high seas, to bear arms against their country, to become
the executioners of their friends and brethren, or to fall
themselves by their hands.
He has excited domestic insurrection among u^, and has
endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the
merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an
undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and c(mditions.
In every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for
redress, in the most humble terms; our repeated petitions
have been answered only by repeated injury. A prince
whose character is thus marked by every act which may
define a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.
Nor have we been wanting in our attentions to our British
brethren. We have warned them, from time to time, of
ttempts by their Legislature to extend an unwarrantable
urisdiction over us. We have reminded tliem oT the circum-
litances of our emigration and settlement here. We have
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we
have conjured them, by the ties of our common kindred, to
disavow these usurpations, which would inevitably interrupt
our connections and correspondence. They, too, have been
deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We must,
IS DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
therefoie, "acquiesce in the necessity, which denounces our
separation, and hold them, as we hold the rest of mankind,
enemies in war, in peace, friends.
We, tlierefore, the representatives of the United States of
America, in General Congress assembled, appealing to the
Supreu)e Judge of the World for the rectitude of our inten-
tions, do, in the name and by the authority of the good people
of these colonies, solemnly publish and declare, that these
United Colonies are, and of right ought to be, Free and
Independent States; that they are also absolved from ail
allegiance to the British crown, and that all political connec-
tion between them and the State of Great Britain, is, and
ought to be, totally dissolved ; and that, as Free and Inde-
pendent States, they have full power to levy war, conclude
peace, contract alliances, establish commerce, and do all other
acts and things which Independent Staves may of right do.
And, for the support of this declaration, with a firm reliance
on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge
to each other, our lives, our fortunes and our sacred honor.

STATE INSTITUTIONS.
THE STATE OAPlTOL.
This edifice, a massive structure, erected at sundry-
times and various periods, is located on West State street,
at the corner of Delaware street, running thence westerly
along State street to the grounds of the late ex-Chancellor
Green, and southerly to the Water Power. The location
is a good one, and although the style of the building is
not modern, yet it answers the purposes for which it was
intended, even if it does not present a very imposing
appearance.
The seat of Government was fixed at Trenton by an
act of the Legislature, approved November 25th, 1790.
James Cooper, Thomas Lowery, James Ewing, Maskeli
Ewing, George Anderson, James Mott and Moore Fur-
man were appointed commissioners to select, purchase or
accept so much land as was needed, and to erect thereon
suitable buildings for the use of the Legislature. They
purchased the present site, containing about three and
three-quarters acres— a frontage on Second street (now
West State street) of 247 feet and 6 inches, and a depth
from the front to low water line of the Delaware river of
666 feet — at a cost of £250 53. The old State House was a
plain, bare-looking, rough-cast building, and was erected
at a cost of £3,992 3s. ^d. By an act of March 4th, 1795,
a building; was erected to serve as an office for the Secre-
tary of State, and for the preservation of the public
records, at a cost of £620 193. lOd. Numerous improve-
ments and repairs were made, and on March 3d, 1806, an
act was passed appointing commissioners to make certain
repairs to the State House, to provide and hang a suitable
bell, &c. This was done, and the bell was used for inform-
ing the members of both houses, as well as the courts,
of the hour of meeting. The bell was eventually dis-
carded, and an American flag substituted, which waves
from the building unto this day, when the Legislature
is in session, and upon holidays and State occasions. In
1848, the State House was altered by the removal of the
(116)

rough-casting, and changing the front to the style of the
Mercer County Court House, placing neat porticoes over
the front and rear entrances, and erecting two additional
buildings adjoining the main one, as otfices for the Clerks
of the Chancery and Supremo Courts. The rotunda was
ilso erected, and the grounds fenced, graded, laid out
and shade trees planted, all at a cost of $27,000. The
commissioners under whose directions the work was
completed, were Samuel K. Gummere, Samuel R. Hamil-
ton and Stacy A. Paxson. In 1863, '64 and ^Qb, appro-
priations were made and expended in building additions
for the State Library, Executive Chambers, &c. In 1871,
Uharles S. Olden, Thomas J, Stryker and Lewis Perrine
were appointed commissioners to cause a suitable addi-
tion to be built — more commodious apartments for the
Senate and Assembly, &c. The sum of $50,000 was appro-
priated, and the buildings for the Legislature were ready
for occupancy in time for the meeting of the Legislature
of 1872. In 1872, $120,000 was appropriated for complet-
ing the building, $3,000 for fitting up the Executive
Chamber, $4,000 for fitting up the Chancery and Supreme
Court rooms, and $2,000 for fitting up the offices on the
first floor of the east wing. In 1873, the sum of $43,000
was appropriated for the improvement of the front of
the building, completing unfinished repairs and improve-
ments, and for fitting up the Library, &c. On March
18th, 1875, the sum of $15,000 was appropriated for the
purpose of putting a new three-story front to the build-
ing, and to fit up offices on the second floor for the Clerks
of the Court of Chancery and Supreme Court, and for
providing a suitable museum for geological specimens,
and the battle-flags of New Jersey volunteer regiments,
carried during the war of the Rebellion.
On March 21st, 1885, the front portion was destroyed
by fire, and the Legislature appropriated $50,000 for re-
building, and, in 1886, an additional appropriation of
$225,000 was granted.
The new bailding was finished in 1889. It is of rect-
angular shape and of the Renaissance style of architec-
ture, with a frontage of one hundred and sixty feet on
State street, a depth of sixty- seven feet, and three and a
half stories high, with a rotunda thirty-nine feet across,
which connects the new section of the Capitol with the
original part. The rotunda is surmounted by a dome
one hundred and forty-five feet high.
118 THE STATE CAPITOL.
The building has about sixty feet more frontage than
the former one, and approaches about ten feet nearer
the street.
The walls are constructed of solid, fire-proof, brick
masonry, faced with a light-colored stone from ludiaoa,
known as Salem Oolitic, with foundations andtrimmmgs
of New Jersey freestoiie, from the Pjallsville quarries, in
Hunterdon county. The portico, door-head and trim-
mings about the door are of the same material. The
portico, with balcony, is supported by massive pillars of
polished granite and surmounted by the coat of arms of
the State.
The apartments used for offices are very spacious, fitted
throughout in the most approved modern style, and each
department is supplied with one or more of the finest
fire-proof vaults. The first and second stories are set
aside for offices, and the entire third story is used for the
State Libiary.
The old State Library apartments haT<3 been improved
and extended, and are now used as offices for the Attor-
ney-General, State Superintendent of Public Instruction
and Commissioner of Banking and Insurance. A new
story was added, which is used for the Geological Museum
and State offices.
In 1891, a new Assembly Chamber was erected. The
old one was too small and poorly ventilated, and besides,
there was a lack of suitable committee rooms. The
Legislature of 1891 passed a Joint Resolution, which
was approved on March 20th, authorizing the Governor
" to provide a suitable chamber and committee rooms for
the use of the General Assembly of this State," &c., and
also, " to make such additions and alterations as will
aff'ord the necessary accommodations for the Supreme
Court and Court of Errors and Appeals, or for other State
offices, and sufficient money is hereby appropriated for
that purpose, to be paid by the Treasurer of this State on
the warrant of the Comptroller, after approval by the
Governor."
The new chamber was built by James W. Lanning, of
Trenton, from plans prepared by James Moylan, of Jer-
sey City, and under the superintendency of Bernard J.
Ford, of Newark. It covers the site of the former cham-
ber, and extends beyond it to Delaware street on the
east and to the water pc wer on the south. It has a front-
age on Delaware street of 120 feet and a depth of 75 feet.
The exterior finish and design of the bnilding are similar
to the adjoining portion of the Capitol. The foundation

is of brown stone, from the Stockton quarries, and the
trimmings of light Indiana stone. The interior is fin-
ished in Trenton tile, quartered oak and Italian statuary
marble. It is a fire-proof building throughout, and is speci-
ally ventilated. The committee rooms are ample and
convenient, and the interior design, arrangement and
finish make it a model legislative chamber. It cost the
State $140,500. The cost of the steam heating and venti-
lating systems was about $25,000.
The other new addition to the Capitol provides a con-
sultation room for the Judges of the Supreme Court and
the Court of Errors and Appeals and a private room for
the Governor, a room for the Museum of the Geological
Survey, and other offices, and cost $34,500.
An electric light apparatus was also placed in the
Capitol, which cost $23,000. Every department in the
building is now lighted by electricity.
A new Otis elevator has been placed in the front part
of the building, which gives easy access to all the upper
floors.
THE STATE LIBRARY,
This ivaluable collection of books is located on the
third floor of the State Capitol. The old saying, " Great
oaks from little acorns grow," most appropriately applies
to this institution.
The first library of the State was a case ordered to be
procured by Maskell Ewing, Clerk of the House of
Assembly, for the keeping and preservation of such
books as belonged to the Legislature. It was ordered
by a resolution passed March 18th, 1796. This was the
nucleus of the present extensive library. On February
18th, 1804, William Coxe, of Burlington; Ezra Darby,
of Essex, and John A. Scudder, of Monmouth, were
appointed a Committee on Rules, and to make a cata-
logue; they reported that there were 168 volumes
belonging to the State, and presented a code of seven
rules, which was adopted. On February 10th, 1813, an
act (the first one) was passed, entitled "An act concern-
ing the State Library." Up to 1822 it appears that the
Clerk of the House had charge of the books, as Librar-
ian, and, on November 16th, 1822, an act was passed for
120 THE STATE ARSENAL.
the appointment of a State Librarian, annually, by joint
meeting. In 1846, on April 10th, an act was passed
making the term of office three years. The Law Library
at that time belonged to the members of the Law Library
Association. The only persons allowed the use of the
Library were members of the Association, the Chan-
cellor, and the judges of the several courts. Stacy G.
Potts was Treasurer and Librarian of the Association.
The Law Library was kept in the Supreme Court room
until 1837, when the Legislature authorized the State
Librarian to fit up a room adjoining the Library for the
care and reception of the books and papers belonging to
the State Library. Thus the two Libraries were consoli-
dated. On March 13th, 1872, $5,000 per year for three
years was appropriated for the Library by the Legisla-
ture, and by the act of March 15thf 1876, the sum of
$2,500 was appropriated for finishing and refurnishing
the Library room. In 1890, the Library was removed to
the third story of the new part of the Capitol.
THE STATE ARSENAL..
The building now used as the State Arsenal was for-
merly the old State Prison. It is situate on Second
street, in the Sixth Ward of the city of Trenton, and
has on its front the following inscription :
Labor, Silence, Penitence.

was proposed that the old one be converted into an
Arsenal for the safe keeping of the arms and military
property of the State, which, previous to that time, had
been kept in the old State B^k, corner of Warren and
Bank streets, with accoutrements and camp and garrison
equipage at the State House. After the removal of the
State convicts from the old prison, permission was given
to the county of Mercer to occupy it as a jail until its
jail, then in course of completion, was finished, and
when it was again vacated it was converted into an
arsenal
Among the stores, &c., at the Arsenal are one bronze
gun, French, of the date of 1758; two bronze guns,
English, four-pounders, and two iron six-pounders.
There is also one gun captured at the battle of Trenton,
December 26th, 1776, and two guns captured at York-
town, October 19th, 1781. There are also a large quantity
of fire-arms, ammunition, ordnance, tents, clothing,
blankets. &c.
NEW JERSEY STATE HOSPITAL.
TRENTON.
This institution is located in Ewing township, in
Mercer county, about two miles northwest of Trenton,
on the right bank of the Delaware river. The buildings
are constructed of reddish sandstone, obtained from
quarries near the hospital, and are located on an elevation
of about seventy-five feet above the river. The front of
the Main or Administration Building is ornamented by a
handsome porch of Ionic architecture, designed by the
celebrated Notman, from which may be obtained one of
the finest landscape views in the State.
In 1844, after repeated and unsuccessful attempts to
cause action to be taken by the Legislature for the build-
ing of a State instution for the special care and treatment
of the insane, a commission was appointed, chiefly
through the earnest efforts of Dr. Lyndon A. Smith, of
Essex, and Dr. Lewis Condict, of Morris, and the emi-
nent philanthropist, Miss D. L. Dix, to select a site. An
appropriation of $35,000 was made to purchase the land,
and to commence the erection of the building. The
present site was selected by the commissioners from
among many that were offered in various sections of the
122 N.J. STATE HOSPITALS.
State because of the large spring of excellent water
found on the place. This spring was developed, and fur-
nished a daily supply of about one-half millions of gal-
lons of pure water for many years. In the severe
drought of 1880 the supply was greatly diminished, fall-
ing off nearly two hundred and fifty thousand gallons,
and it has never regained its full and former capacity.
The spring is now supplemented by driven wells, three
in number, and each one over three hundred feet deep.
These with the spring, are capable of supplying daily
a half million gallons of excellent water. In 1896 a
standpipe for storing water and securing a fire pressure
was erected, with a capacity of five hundred thousand
gallons.
Work was commenced on the main building in Novem-
ber of 1845, and the hospital was opened for the reception
of patients on the 15th day of May, 1848. Numerous
additions have been made from time to time to the build-
ing, increasing its capacity from fifty patients, in 1848, to
eight hundred and fifty patients, in 1898.
In 1887, the Legislature passed an act appropriating
$100,000 for providing additional accommodations. The
new building is a handsome structure of red sandstone,
and similar to that used in the main building. This is
five hundred feet long, three stories in height, and
capable of accommodating three hundred patients, one
hundred and fifty of each sex. The building is designed
to accommodate the chronic incurable class, and was a
great relief from the overcrowded state that existed in
the main building prior to its completion. The build-
ing was completed within the appropriation, and opened
for the reception of patients in the month of October,
1889.
Since the opening of the institution in May, 1848, there
have been received and treated 9,328 patients. 4,693 men
and 4,635 women. At the close of the fiscal year,
October 31st, 1898, there were under care in the hospital
1,119 patients, 555 men and 564 women. Much has
been done for the comfort and pleasure of the patients.
A green-house has been erected for the purpose of
furnishing plants and flowers for the patients' corridors,
handsome pictures adorn the walls, and everything about
the hospital presents a comfortable and homelike appear-
ance.
The institution possesses a library, one of the largest,
if not the largest, in this country connected with a
hospital for the insane. The books are accessible to all

members of the household. They have been freely used,
and do much to relieve the monotony of many an hour
of hospital life. The library now consists of about 4,000
volumes, and is the result of the bequest of a former
nurse (Anne Robinson), who, by will, bequeathed her
earnings for several years as a nurse and attendant in
this hospital. She made the bequest, as she herself
expressed it when making her will, for the purpose of
purchasing books to be used for the pleasure and benefit
of those to whom she had, for so many years, endeavored
to minister.
During the year 1898, a handsome amusement room,
capable of seating about four hundred, was finished ;
also, a large and commodious chapel, in which religious
exercises are held from time to time ; various clergymen,
without regard to denominational preference, officiate
every Sunday. The new chapel is capable of seating
about five hundred patients.
NEW JERSEY STATE HOSPITAL.
MORRIS PLAINS.
In order to relieve the crowded condition of the Trenton
Asylum, and make further provision for the increasing
number of the insane, commissioners were appointed by
the Legislature of 1871 to select a site and build an insti-
tution in the northern portion of the State. About ^08
acres of land were purchased, at a cost of |>78,732.36, in
Hanover township, Morris county, and a site for the insti-
tution was selected on the foot hills of the Watnoag range
of the Blue Ridge Mountains, at an elevation of 520 feet
above the sea level. The location is ideal for an institu-
tion of its kind, being unsurpassed in this particular by
any similar institution in this country. A magnificent
view of the surrounding country is commanded. The
air is cool and balmy in summer, and crisp and stimulat-
ing in winter.
The institution is a four-story building, of granite
quarried on the premises, and trimmed with brown
sandstone. The total length is 1,243 feet, and the
depth, from the front of the main center building to the
rear of the extreme wings, is 542 feet, constituting at
present the largest institution for the insane under one
roof in the world, and one of the finest buildings of its
kind in the United States.
124 NORMAL AND MODEL SCHOOLS.
The building was planned and constructed to accom-
modate 800 patients, but at present has a population
of more than 1,250 insane. The total cost was about
$2,250,000. It was first occupied by patients on August
17th, 1876.
The Legislature of 1895 appropriated $125,000 for addi-
tional buildings and improvements. The foundation of
the new building was laid to accommodate 600 patients,
and provide suitable laboratory facilities for the further
prosecution of scientific work. An appropriation was
also made for the extension of the water-supply, and an
additional tract of land was purchased, bringing the total
extent of the hospital's property up to about 720 acres.
On a portion of this land an additional reservoir, with a
capacity of 6,500,0U0 gallons, has since been built. The
Legislature of 1898 appropriated $150,000, enabling the
management to give out contracts looking to the com-
pletion of the administration portion of the building, the
north wing, associate dining-rooms, amusement hall, and
pathological laboratories.
The barns and outbuildings belonging to the institution
are in excellent condition, and the farm is in a high state
of cultivation.
THE NEW JERSEY STATE NORMAL AND
MODEL SCHOOLS.
These schools are the property of the State, and are
located at the junction of Perry street and Clinton avenue,
Trenton. There are two buildings, the one for the schools
located on the west side of Clinton avenue, the other,
containing the boarding halls and dormitories, situated
on the east side of the avenue. These schools were
established in 1855 by an act of the Legislature. The
purpose of the Normal School was defined to be "the
training and education of its pupils in such branches of
knowledge, and such methods of teaching and governing,
as will qualify them for teachers of our common schools."
The Model School was designed to be a place where " the
pupils of the Normal School shall have opportunity to
observe and practice the modes of instruction and disci-
pline inculcated in the Normal School, and in which
pupils may be prepared for the Normal School."
The following figures show the original cost and present
valuation of the Normal School property :

1897, these enrollments had increased to 656 in the Normal
and 562 in the Model. During its history the Normal School
has graduated 2,075 students.
The Principals of the schools have been as follows: Wil-

STATE REFORM SCHOOL FOR BOYS.
This institution is situate at Jamesburg, Middlesex county,
and was authorized by an act of the Legislature, passed April
6lh, 1865. Juvenile criminals between the ages of eight and
sixteen years are here cared for, and every influence tending
to their reformation is brought to bear upon them. Numerous
additions have been made to the original building, to which is
attached a farm of 490 acres. The first pupils were received
July 6th, 1867.
STATE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL FOR GIRLS.
This institution is located on the line of the Trenton Branch
of the Delaware and Bound Brook Railroad, in Ewing town-
ship, near the Trenton Lunatic Asylum, and is located on a

farm of about 79 acres of land. A substantial building was
erected, at a cost of $23,334, and other improvements made,
(vhich bring the value of the place, ■with furniture, &c., up to
i$37,740. Previous to the erection of the new building, the
school was at " Pine Grove," in the Sixth Ward of the city
of Trenton. This place had been leased so as to afford room
for persons sentenced under the act of April 4th, 1871.
THE STATE PRISON.
The New Jersey State Prison, situated on the block enclosed
by Federal, Third, Cass and Second streets, in the city of
Trenton, is one of the finest institutions of its kind in the
country. Its erection was autliorized by an act of the Legis-
lature passed February 13th, 1832, and it was completed in
the year 1836, having 150 cells, at a cost of $179,657.11. It
was built of red sand-stone, from the Ewing quarries, an 1 the
style of its architecture is Egyptian, having four Egyptian
columns in front of the main entrance, on Third street. It
consists of a main building, used as a residence for the Keeper
and as reception rooms and offices. From time to time the
prison has been enlarged, and although there is not sufficient
room to affi)rd separate confinement for each prisoner, as re-
quired by law, the provisions of the act are carried out as far
as possible. The rules and regulations now in force have
brought the internal affairs of the institution, as to cleanliness,
discipline, victualing, &c., to a much higher standard than
was ever before reached, and a visit thereto will convince the
visitor that the manaoement is as perfect as can be.
On March 4th, 1847, $5,000 was appropriated to build an
additional wing to the original building. On March 25th,
1852, $15,000 was granted for the erection of a new wing for
hospital purposes. On March 22d, 1860, the sum of $17,000
was voted for the purpose of building an additional wing for
cells, and on February 16th, 1861, a further sum of $2,243.01
was appropriated to complete the same. On April 16th, 1 868,
$6,000 was appropriated for the building of an additional wing
to provide room for female convicts. An act passed April 2d,
1869, provided for the apiwintment of commissioners to extend
the grounds of the prison to the wall of the State Arsenal, to
build an additional wing and work shops, and nuu1e an appro-
priation of $50,000 for that purpose, and in the same month
$9,734 was appropriated for the purpose of completing the
wing of the female department. On April 4th, 1871, the sum

of $75,000 was appropriated for the purpose of completing the
new or east wing, and on April 4tli, 1872, a furtlfer sum of
$28,7(0 was appropriated for the completion of the same.
March 3d, 1874, $12,000 was voted for the construction of gas
works for the supply of illuminating gas for the prison. On
March 8th, 1877, the sum of $100,000 was appropriated for
the enlargement of the prison and the purchase of a burial
ground for deceased convicts. The north wing was remodeled
out of this last appropriation, and a burial ground purchased.
The Legislature of 1895 appropriated $150,000 for the en-
largement and improvement of the prison.
Previous to the year 1798 there was no State Prison, and
prisoners were confined in the county jailg. On March 1st,
1797, Jonathan Doane was appointed by an act of the Legis-
lature as an agent to purchase a lot of land from Peter Hunt,
situate at Lamberton, containing six and a half acres, and to
erect suitable buildings thereon. This was done at an expense
of £9,852 Os. 3d., and what is now the State Arsenal, at Second
and Cass streets, is the result. Solitary confinement was not
practiced previous to 1836, in which year the old prison was
vacated and the present one occupied.
SOLDIERS' HOME.
This institution is located in Kearny township, Hudson
county, to which place it was removed from Newark in 1888.
It was organized under a joint resolution of the Legislature
approved April 12th, 1862. The Home in Newark was opened
July 4th, 1866. The Legislatures of 1886 and 1887 appro-
priated $175,000 for the erection of a new Home, under the
direction of Commissioners appointed by the Lej^islature.
The present site, consisting of 17^ acres, was selected, and six
new and commodious buildings were erected thereon. The
Home has a frontage of 600 feet on the Passaic river, and
contains over three hundred inmates.
NEW JERSEY SCHOOL FOR DEAF-MUTES.
This institution, which is located at Trenton, is a part of
the public scIkoI system of the State, and is open to deaf resi-
dents of the State between the ages of eight and twenty-one
years. The pupils are instructed in the branches of common-
school education, and are also trained in some handicraft.
Speech is taught to all who can acquire it, and with such
success that in some classes it becomes the principal means
ol communication.
128 HOME FOR FEEBLE-MINDED WOMEN.
The industrial department is larger and better equipped
than in most schools of this kind. From the printing office
is issued monthly a paper, the Silent Worker, which, in point
of mechanical execution and of quality of contents, ranks as
the best issued from any institution in the country. All the
work on this paper is performed by pupils of the school.
The wood-working department, under the charge of a
graduate of a technical school of high rank, has a course in
which theory and practice are united in an unusual degree.
A course of kindergarten work, especially adapted to the
deaf child, has been worked out in the school, and has been
followed by some of the best schools of the kind in this
country,
A building for hospital purposes, designed in accordance
with the best modern practice and ample to meet any possible
need, ha.s been partially completed during the year.
The attendance of pupils has risen from 125 in June, 1896,
until at the present time it is about 150.
The school possesses a well chosen library, which at present
contains about 1,500 volumes, and is rapidly growing.
THE STATE INSTITUTION FOR FEEBLE-
MINDED WOMEN, VINELAND.
This institution was established under an act of March
27th, 1888, with Prof. S O. Garrison, who drafted the original
law, as the first superintendent. On November loth of the
same year he was succeeded by Mary J. Dunlap, M.D. It is
one of the most admirably situated public buildings in the
State. Lying opposite the New Jersey Training School for
Feeble Minded Children, and facing Landis avenue, Vine-
land's main street of several miles in length, it enjovs facili-
ties of the city yet surrounded by acres of fruit, vineyards and
orchards. The main building is well arransjed, and a large
annex was erected in the winter of 1891 -'92 It is a home
for female-, of whom there are nearly 100. Extensive addi-
ti ns have recently been made, giving hospital and other
accommodations

S. Olin Garrison, PRiNciPAii.
This public institution is an outgrowth of a private one,
which Prof. S. Olin Garrison established in Millville, Cum-
berland county, on September 1st, 1887 It was opened at
Vineland, on March 1st, 1888, with an enrollment of ten
inmates. Adjacent properties were soon acquired and a
handsome building, costing about $18,000, was erected in
1890 -'91. There are nine cottages, besides a hospital, large
barn, shops and manual training-rooms, located on a farm of
120 acres. The school has a fine assembly hall, seating over
600, and also containing seven (7) school-rooms, an armory,
drill-room and a gymnasium.
The plan and scope of training and education by the school,
require fourteen teachers in English, Kindergarten, Mili-
tary, Music, Physical Culture and Manual Trades depart-
ments, thereby indicating the special and comprehensive
fields of instruction. There is also a custodial department for
the idiotic, and a hospital department for epileptics.
The property is worth over $150,000, real and personal,
with a debt of only $8,000. Besides very good property
acquisitions at low cost, at least $50,000 have been donated
to the school since its organization, to aid in the current
expenses, in improvements and new buildings.
There were, in 1898, over 200 boys and girls enjoying
the advantages of this most excellent School.
THE NE-W JERSEY STATE VILLAGE FOR
EPILEPTICS.
SKII.I,MAN, S0MERSE;T COUNTY.
This village is located on the '• Maplewood Farm,*
containing about 187 acres, one mile and a half from
Skillman station, Somerset county, and on the line of
the Philadelphia and Reading Railroad. The location is
beautiful and most admirably adapted for the purposes
of the institution. It was purchased for the sum of
$11,500. The Managers of the institution have secured
an option on an adjacent farm of 215 acres for $8,000. It
will require 400 acres, altogether, to make the project
practicable. There are three dwelling-houses on the

130 STATE VILLAGE FOR EPILEPTICS.
*• Maplewood Farm." The Village was formally opened
on November 1st, 1898, for the admission of 20 male
epileptics. The Legislature of 1898 appropriated $15,000
for the purchase of a site and the equipment and mainte-
nance of the Village. As the Legislature provides the
buildings, all epileptics of either sex, over five years of
age, will lae admitted.
The success of this meritorious undertaking is, in a
large measure, due to the indefatigable efforts made by
Professor S. Olin Garrison, of Vineland, in its behalf.
For a number of years he agitated the subject, and at
last an act was passed by the Legislature of 1898, and was
signed by Acting Governor Voorhees, making the neces-
sary provisions for the establishment of the institution.
A similar act was passed by the Legislature of 1896, but
it was vetoed by Governor Griggs. Senator Stokes, of
Cumberland, who had charge of the legislation, showed
great zeal in the task he had undertaken.
According to a report made by a legislative commission
appointed in 1895 to investigate the subject of epileptics,
it was then estimated that there were over 2,000 such
afflicted persons in the State. The two State Hospitals
for the Insane then contained 168 epileptics. Their pres-
ence in those institutions was considered alike injurious
to the insane and the epileptic. The commission made
an exhaustive report, and concluded by strongly recom-
mending the establishment ©f a Village for those afflicted
people.

PARTY PLATFORMS.
REPUBLICAN.
(Adopted at the State Convention held at Trenton, Thursday, September
22, 1898.)
The representatives of the Republican party of New
Jersey, assembled in convention, September 22, 1898,
hereby resolve and declare :
That we aflfirm our adhesion and devotion to the funda-
mental principles of the National Republican party as
set forth in the platform adopted at the St. Louis conven-
tion in 1896.
That we specially declare our undying opposition to
any proposition to debase the national currency, a propo-
sition so repugnant to the honest voters of New Jersey
that when it was presented to them in all its bare iniquity
in 1896, they promptly buried it under an unprecedented
majority of 87,000, and declared in favor of representa-
tives of national honor and honesty, McKinley and
Hobart.
We heartily approve and endorse the administration of
President McKinley. His treatment of domestic ques-
tions has more than fulfilled all expectations, and the
wisdom of his foreign policy and the firmness and dignity
with which it has been maintained have won for him not
only the confidence and approbation of our own people,
but the highest respect of the civilized world. Involved
without due preparation in a war in the interests of
humanity, he pursued a course which commanded united
support at home and effectively silenced the assaults of
interested diplomacy abroad. In three months this con-
flict was brought to a practical end with a smaller per-
centage of loss from battle and disease than in any war of
modern times, and with the result of freeing a suffering
people from a reign of cruelty and oppression; of acquiring
new and valuable territory ; of opening to our people new
avenues of trade and commerce ; furnishing new outlets
and demands for the agricultural and industrial products
of our people, and, above all, providing millions of our
fellow-creatures an open door to those blessings of educa-
tion and of civil and religious liberty which have for a
hundred years followed the advance of the American flag.
(157)
158 PAR TV PL A TFORMS.
We take a special pride as Jerseymen that the eminent
citizen whom this State gave to the national administra-
tion, elected in 1896, has been so singularly capable and
potential in the office of Vice-President, and has invested
that station with rare dignity and influence.
We approve the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands,
and view this act as an important step in the advance of
American civilization.
We repose entire confidence in the wisdom and patriot-
ism of the President, and the commission appointed by
him to negotiate such a treaty of peace as will meet the
just expectations of our people, by insisting on an ad-
justment in which the interests of this Republic, and of
civilization and humanity, will be secured, as far as possi-
ble, as the fruits of the valor of our soldiers and sailors
in the war with Spain. Called to the Presidency in a
time of national bankruptcy, caused by the administration
of the Democratic party, William McKinley was com-
missioned by the American people to restore confidence,
to re-establish a tariff system under which American labor
and capital might recover from the blighting effects of
the Wilson bill ; to save our financial system from the
dangers of Bryanism, so that American enterprise might
go boldly forward to the development of our resources.
Under his administration business has revived, labor has
found employment, and prosperity is returning. These
things have been accomplished notwithstanding the fact
that in his effort to execute the people's mandate the
President has been shackled with a hostile Senate How
much more can be accomplished if for the remainder of
his term the President and his administration have the
support and sympathy of a Congress friendly in both
branches.
During the present Congress this State has enjoyed a
commanding influence by having a Republican Senator
and a delegation in the Lower House unanimously of the
same faith. They have been most diligent and successful
in their labor for the best interests of our State and
nation, and we cordially indorse their work and thank
them in the name of the people of New Jersey,
That we heartily indorse the conduct of our State
affairs by Governor John W. Griggs during his incum-
bency, which illustrated the highest ideal of an executive
and fully met the expectations of a purified administra-
tion which his election raised in the people of New Jersey,
and we hold it to be a subject of pride to our State that
he has been summoned by the President to assume as a
patriotic duty the charge of one of the most important
PAR TV PL A TFORMS. 169
and responsible departments of the National Government.
The brilliant record he has made as Attorney-General of
the United States during an unexpected and most trying
emergency, has given our State renewed occasion for
gratification.
We heartily indorse and approve the brief but brilliant
administration of Acting Governor F. M. Voorhees.
Coming to the executive chair from a long experience in
the legislative branch of the government, he was pecu-
liarly fitted to discharge the civil duties thus unexpectedly
thrust upon him, and it is known of all men that his
diligence, fidelity, and a sincere desire for the public
welfare, have characterized his ever^ executive act. We
especially commend him for his untiring devotion to the
interests of our soldiers. Whether encamped in this or
in other States, they never were beyond the Acting
Governor's watchful eye nor outside the zone of his
efiicient care.
We tender our thanks to the citizens of this and other
States who, inspired by a patriotic impulse, have left
their homes and occupations to sustain the arms of the
State and the nation. We recognize their devotion to
duty, whether in camp or on the field of combat ; and we
pledge ourselves to the full and liberal recognition of all
the proper claims of our patriotic heroes, and if by the
misconduct or incompetency of any officials their health
or their lives have been unnecessarily sacrificed or endan-
gered, we feel assured that the President and his Consti-
tutional advisers will make such investigations as will
bring the offenders, regardless of past or present political
afiiliation, to punishment.
We recognize the special revenue law as a necessary
war measure, and recommend its repeal as soon as will be
justifiable by the reduced expenses of the government.
Three years ago we appealed to the voters of New
Jersey to unite in rescuing the State from the grasp of a
political oligarchy which had brought every department
and institution of the State, the internal affairs of our
cities and towns, and even the morals of this Common-
wealth, into subserviency to their ends
They squandered the State revenue by the creation of
useless offices and by falsifying bills of supply, and
sought to prostitute every branch of the State govern-
ment to partisan and personal purposes. With splendid
majorities the people of almost every county in the State
responded to our appeal and committed the legislative
and executive branches of the government to the care of
the Republican party. We promised them a clean
160 PAR TY PL A TFORMS.
honest and economical administration of State govern-
ment, in the interest and for the welfare of the whole
people. This promise has been faithfully kept. Having
blotted from the statute-books the laws under which the
most infamous form of race-track gambling had brought
ignominy and disgrace upon the State, we have embodied
in the Constitution an amendment forever prohibiting a
re-enactment of such laws ; we have banished partisan-
ship from statutes and delivered the several State institu-
tions, boards and commissions from political control. In
offices of the State, and the larger counties, we have
substituted reasonable salaries for the fee system, and thus
covered into the public treasury, for the benefit of the
people, large sums which were formerly used for political
purposes.
We have doubled the annual appropriation for the
support of our free school system. We have relieved the
taxpayers of the several counties by distributing amongst
them annually more than $200,000 of the tax received by
the State from railroad corporations.
We have increased the appropriation for good roads.
We have made liberal appropriations for the support and
proper care of the insane, the feeble-minded and other
unfortunate defectives of the State. We have paid off
over half a million of the public debt. We have ex-
pended in the necessary construction and extension of
State institutions over $1,000,000, and, notwithstanding
these disbursements for the public benefit, we are able,
through a rigid and judicious economy, to show an
increase in the balance in the State Treasury of |200,000,
as compared with 1893, the year in which the voters of
New Jersey set the seal of condemnation upon Democratic
misrule.
We have codified and condensed many of the cumber-
some and complex State statutes, and this important and
necessary work will be continued to completion.
The full list of the beneficent legislative acts since the
State passed under Republican control is too long to be
recited here, but the statute-books and public records of
the State are filled with evidences of the faithfulness with
which we have redeemed the pledges made three years
ago.
We here and now renew these pledges. We promise a
continuance of the policy of rigid economy in every
department of the State government, liberal appropria-
tions for purposes of public necessity and welfare, con-
tinued opposition to extravagant and wasteful use of the
public money, legislation for the benefit and elevation of
PAR TV PL A TFORMS. 161
the laboring people, for the promotion of the agricultural
and industrial interests of the State and the general good
and well being of all.
The time has again come for the people of the State to
rally around the standard of good government, and we
appeal to all the patriotic voters of New Jersey to give
their voices and votes to avert dire calamity, which would
result from relegating the State again to the hands of the
political jobbers and unscrupulous ringsters who are
seeking to regain their lost control.
DEMOCRATIC.
(Adopted at the State Convention held at Trenton, Wednesday, Septem-
ber 28, 1898.)
We, the representatives of the Democratic party in
State Convention assembled, re-affirming our devotion to
all the great and vital principles of the Democratic party
on National issues and believing, however, that the com-
ing State campaign should be fought out on State issues,
and for the redemption of the State from Republican
extravagance, corruption and misrule, declare the para-
mount issues in the coming campaig n to be :
Equal taxation, home rule, honest State and munici-
pal government, the abolition of useless and expensive
State commissions, the teduction of the large present
expenses of the State government to the economical
standard maintained for years under Democratic rule, the
reduction of official salaries, the abolishment of the fee
system and the placing of all officials on a salary basis,
the enactment of laws in the interest of organized labor
and for the protection of the wage- workers of the State,
the repeal of all laws that abridge the right of juries to
fix the amount of damages in cases where the death of a
person is caused by wrongful act, and the release of the
administration of State affairs from the control of cor-
porations and their restoration to the authority of the
people.
We demand that the tax laws of this State be amended
to provide for the equal taxation of all property, real
and personal, not used for religious, charitable or educa-
tional purposes, in accordance with the mandates of the
Constitution, which says :
•* Property shall be assessed for taxes under general
laws, and by uniform rules, according to its true value."
We charge the Republican party, which has had com-
plete control of all branches of the State government
11
16^ PAR TY PL A TFORMS.
during the past three years, with having violated the
pledges it made to the people before being entrusted with
power.
We charge the Republican party with having created
useless and needless State commissions at the expense of
thousands of dollars to the people of this State, and
pledge the Democratic party to the enactment of laws
that will secure their abolishment
We charge that the Republican party has been guilty
of gross extravagance in the administration of State
affairs, and that the expenses of the State government
under Republican rule have been increased nearly half a
million dollars annually and are now largely in excess of
what they should be for an honest and economical admin-
istration of the government, and beyond the annual
revenues of the State by thousands of dollars. We
pledge the Democratic party to a reduction of expenses
and an economical and business-like administration of
the affairs of the State.
We charge that the salaries of public officials are far in
excess of what they should be, and pledge the Demo-
cratic party to the enactment of laws that will secure the
reduction of the same.
We pledge the Democratic party to the enactment of
laws that will abolish the fee system in all State and
county offices and place all such officials on a salary
basis, thereby saving to the people of this State thou-
sands of dollars, which will revert to the public treasury
instead of the pocket of the office-holder.
We condemn the action of the recent Republican Leg-
islatures which refused almost every request made for
legislation in the interest of organized labor and repealed
acts passed by Democratic Legislatures for the protection
of the wage-workers of New Jersey ; and we pledge our
party to give proper consideration to the views adopted
by the councils of organized labor.
We charge Foster M Voorhees, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, with being an enemy of organized
labor, and that he has proved his hostility by his official
acts while acting as Governor of the State
We favor the repeal of all laws abridging the right of
juries to fix the amount of damages in cases where the
death of a person is caused by wrongful act, and condemn
the brutal opinions filed by Republican judges in constru-
ing such laws.
We favor an amendment to the laws of the State pro-
viding severe penalties for discrimination in the fixing of
PARTY PL A TFORMS. 163
rates for the transportation of freight in anywise injurious
to the farmers or other people of this State.
We charge that the Republican party is under the dom-
ination and control of the corporations and trusts of this
State, and refer the voters to the numerous acts passed by
recent Republican Legislatures for the benefit of corpora-
tions, foreign and domestic, at the expense of the people ;
and to the railroad acts, passed ostensibly in the interests
of the boroughs and villages, but really in the interests
of the corporations ; and also call attention to the silence
of the platform adopted by the recent Republican conven-
tion upon all questions in anywise affecting the interests
of trusts and corporations.
We declare that the State of New Jersey owes every
child within its borders an education unsurpassed by any
other State. We demand for our school children ample
and suitable accommodation in every city, town and
village, so that every child may attend school the whole
of every school day; the establishment of a thorough
kindergarten system for the younger children, and a
compulsory education law which will require attendance
by every healthy child of school age.
We advocate the passage of a State law which will
require the State Treasurer to become the custodian of
the Teachers' Retirement Fund, without expense to that
fund. We congratulate the teachers upon their success-
ful effort to care for the members of their profession in
old age or sickness out of their own fund.
We favor the construction of good roads and of proper
State aid therefor.
We declare that the thanks of the people of the State
and nation are due to the soldiers and sailors of the army
and navy of the United States, who have imperiled their
lives in defense of their country and in vindication of
the honor of its flag in the recent Spanish war ; that the
nation owes to them permanent recognition of their
patriotism and their valor, and ample and permanent
provision for those of their survivors who have received
disabling and honorable wounds in the service of the
country, and that the memories of those who have fallen
in its defense shall be held in grateful and everlasting
remembrance ; that the State, should make suitable pro-
vision for additional pay to our New Jersey Volunteers.
While we rejoice and feel thankful to them for their great
victories on land and sea, we denounce the gross, open,
criminal incompetency of those placed and defiantly kept
in charge of the affairs of the War Department of the
present administration of the government of the United
164 PAR TY PL A TF0R3IS.
States, resulting in the needless loss of thousands of
American soldiers' lives, and the infliction of horrible
suffering and tortures upon thousands of the brave de-
fenders of the country's honor; and we charge the present
administration of the government of the United States
with being solely responsible for the horrible results of
this incompetency of government oflQcials, continued
even after the appalling results were repeatedly brought
to the attention of the President of the United States and
his ofl&cial advisers; and we call the attention of the
people of the State to the fact that up to this time not a
single example has been made of a government official
responsible for these monstrous wrongs.
We deplore the spectacle of an ex-Governor of this
State, now a member of that Cabinet, appearing at a
public convention of his party as the apologist and de-
fender of Algerism and its results.
We invite and cordially welcome the co-operation and
support of the honest and patriotic citizens of all parties,
and the independent press of the State, however differing
from us in other respects, in support of the principles
herein declared, and pledge our hearty support to the
candidate nominated by this convention, and affirm that
he will not resign if elected until the pledges herein made
are fulfilled.

BIOGRAPHIES.
GOVERNOR OF NEW^ JERSEY.
Foster m. Voorhees.
Governor Voorhees was born at Clinton, Hunterdon
county, New Jersey, November 5th, 1856, his father being
the cashier of the bank there established, and who comes
of Dutch-English ancestors. The Governor was gradu-
ated from Rutgers College in 1876, and studied law at
Elizabeth with the Honorable William J. Magie, now
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. He was licensed as
an attorney-at-law in 1880, and as a counselor in 18S4.
His success in his profession was instantaneous, and his
high standing at the bar is evidenced by the fact that
although of different political faith from the appointing
power, he was nominated by Governor Werts in 189 i
to the ofl5ce of Circuit Court Judge. He declined the
honor on the ground that he owed his first allegiance to
his constituents who had elected him to the office of
Senator. This was during the exciting and memorable
session of 1894, and the sacrifice he made in this instance
saved the State Senate to the Republican party and made
possible the enactment of reform measures, of which the
Governor himself was the foremost champion
Governor Voorhees has always been an ardent, sincere
and conscientious Republican. At the same time, his
fairness and conservatism have won for him the admira-
tion of the Independents and Democrats, as well as the
members of his own party. He has never been an offen-
sive partisan, and his whole career has been an exemplifi-
cation of the truth of President Hayes' famous declara-
tion, '*He serves his party best who serves his country
best."
Mr. Voorhees was a School Commissioner of Elizabeth
for four years, from 1884 to 188S, and during that time
was instrumental in inaugurating a number of educa-
tional reforms. He was a member of the House of
Assembly during the years '88, '89 and '90, and was the
leader of the Republican minority in the two latter years,
(221)

receiving the Republican vote for Speaker in both of
these sessions. His ability as a parliamentarian and a
debater won for him a State reputation. The year 1889
was one of partisan legislation on the part of the Demo-
cratic majority, and notwithstanding the tactics it em-
ployed to carry through its measures, Mr. Voorhees so
skillfully led the minority that the opposition were even
in danger of defeat, and on one occasion the Democrats
were compelled to leave their seats in the Assembly and
break a quorum in order to save themselves from parlia-
mentary rout. In these trying emergencies he achieved
a reputation for wisdom, courage and readiness in action
which commanded the respect of his friends and foes
alike, and which at once ranked him among the Repub-
lican leaders of the State. Indeed, in the year following,
the Republican State Convention commended by resolu-
tion the course of the Republican minority under his
leadership.
In lb9U Governor Voorhees served as a member of the
special committee of the House and Senate to prepare a
ballot reform law. This law today bears evidence of his
judgment and wisdom. His popularity with the voters
was evinced in 1890, when he ran in a district which
had given Governor iVbbett a plurality of 613, but which
he carried by 163 ; and again in 1893, when he was
elected to the Senate from Union county by a plurality of
1144. In 1894 the Senate was Republican by a majority
of one, and the Democrats attempted to control the
organization of that body and to prevent a number of the
Republican Senators from taking their seats. The forci-
ble seizure of the Senate Chamber and the barring of its
doors on that occasion are matters of recent history. In
this crisis Senator Voorhees, by his counsel and action,
averted what might have been a scene of conflict and riot
and placed his party in such a position that the Supreme
Court eventually decided the controversy in favor of the
Republicans. In the work of reform, which was a con-
spicuous feature of that session of the Legislature, Sena-
tor Voorhees was always courageous, always progressive
and always statesmanlike. Notwithstanding the fact that
the partisan feeling had been stimulated by the unlawful
tactics of the minority, no extreme or retaliatory measures
were enacted by the Republican Legislature. This was
in marked contrast to the partisan legislation of the pre-
vious years under Democratic control, and was due largely
to the influence of Senator Voorhees. The year 1893,
however, was destined to bring him more conspicuously
into the public favor. Prior to the organization of the
BIOGRAPHIES. 223
Legislature in 1895 rumors of official corruption and mal-
feasance were current throughout the State. When the
Legislature met a select committee was appointed from
the Senate, consisting of Senators Voorhees, Ketcham,
Skirm Herbert and Daly, of which Senator Voorhees was
chairman, to investigate the charges of extravagance on
the part of certain public officials. This committee dis-
closed a degree of official extravagance and corruption
which startled the citizens of the State, and which was
perhaps the most instrumental factor in determining the
gubernatorial contest in the fall of that year. The work
of this committee was so skillfully done, so free from
prejudice and partisan bias and so convincing in its dis-
closures, that its verdict was accepted without question
by the members of both political parties. In the special
session of 18i'5 Senator Voorhees followed up the work of
the investigating committee by introducing a large num-
ber of reform measures calculated to remedy the then
existing ills and to prevent the recurrence of such evils in
the future. Conspicuous among these was the preparation
of an annual appropriation bill Heretofore appropria-
tions had been made by separate bills and the total appro-
priation was known only to a few. Senator Voorhees
provided for an annual budget, itemizing the several
appropriations and yet collecting them in one act, so that
the aggregate could be comprehended at a glance, not
only by the legislators but by the public at large In the
fall of the same year his friends urged his name as a can-
didate for the Republican nomination for Governor. A
gallant fight was made for the young leader from Union
but was unsuccessful, Hon. John W. Griggs receiving the
nomination. Senator Voorhees loyally supported his suc-
cessful competitor during the campaign, and he was then
proclaimed by the prophets as the successor of Governor
Griggs. In 1896 Governor Griggs offered him the position
of Clerk in Chancery, which he generously declined in
order that some of his friends might receive appointments
rather than himself. In 1898 he was elected President of
the Senate without opposition, and upon the appointment
of Governor Griggs as Attorney-General of the United
States he became Acting Governor of the State. In that
capacity he fulfilled the expectations of his friends He
displayed a courage of conviction and an executive
capacity and a devotion to duty that added to his already
brilliant reputation as a public man. His administration
fell upon troublous times. War was declared with Spain
and he became the War Governor of New Jersey. In this
capacity he won new laurels.
224 BIOGRAPHIES.
Following the precedent established by those noble war
Governors, Olden and Parker, Governor Voorhees entered
enthusiastically into the active work of preparing New
Jersey's quota for the war with Spain. Realizing the
difficulties that arise in an emergenc}' of this nature, he
sought to restrain, by wise and prudent counsel, all whose
absence would entail privation i nd suffering upon those
depending upon themf or support, and urged others, whose
interests were not likely to suffer, to offer their services.
He watched with careful scrutiny each detail of the
equipment of the force and endeavored to make efficient
organizations of New Jersey's contingent in the service
of the United States. His success in this mobilization
was quick and pronounced.
His care for and interest in the soldiers, however, con-
tinued even after they were mustered into service, and he
gave his time and influence to the promotion of their
welfare and comfort, even a^'ter they had left the borders
of the State.
His long public service and his record as Acting Gov-
ernor of the State, at once brought him to the front as a
prominent candidate for the Republican nomination for
Governor, and when the Republican State Convention
assembled in September, at Trenton, he was selected as
the standard-bearer by acclamation, an honor that has
fallen on no other man, in recent years, in the State of
New Jersey. He was elected by a plurality of 5,499 over
Elvin W. Crane, the Democratic candidate, after an
exciting campaign.

UNITED STATES SENATORS.
James Smith, Jr., Newark,
Senator Smith was born in 1851, at N'ewark, N. J., and
was educated at private schools in his native city up to
the time he went to college at Wilmington, Del. After
graduating he located in New York in the drygoods busi-
ness, his father having been in this line for many years
in the same city. He did not like the business, however,
and soon returned to Newark, where he engaged in the
manufacturing of patent and enameled leather. He is
now the sole owner of one of the largest concerns in that

line of business in the country and the product of his
factories is shipped to all parts of this country and
Europe The business is conducted under the firm name
of J. H Halsey & Smith. It has earned the reputation of
manufacturing the finest carriage leathers in the world.
Mr. Smith's first political office was that of Councilman
of the city of Newark, having been elected in 1883, when
the Council was a tie. While the ward he ran in was
Republican, he was elected by more majority than the
Republican candidate received votes. He at once became
a leader, and in the following fall he was unanimously
nominated for Mayor, notwithstanding that he wrote a
letter to the convention that he would not accept. He
stood by that letter, and declined the nomination, where-
upon the convention was reconvened and Mayor Haynes
was named,
Mr. Smith was President of the Board of Public Works
of the city of Newark from the time of its creation and
until a short period after he was elected United States
Senator, when he resigned. Previous to his connection
with that Board he had declined several offices which had
been tendered him by his party. He was nominated for
United States Senator to succeed Mr. Blodgett, in 1893,
by a unanimous vote of the caucus, and he received every
Democratic vote in each house on Tuesday, January 24th,
when the election was held, the Republicans voting for
General William J. Sewell The vote stood — Senate:
Smith, 16; Sewell, 5; House: Smith, 39; Sewell, 21. In
1892 Mr. Smith was a delegate-at-large to the National
Democratic Convention at Chicago and urged the renom-
ination of President Cleveland. He served as chairman
of the New Jersey delegation to the National Democratic
Convention at Chicago in 1896
Senator Smith's rise in politics has been rapid and re-
markable. In a period of ten years he was advanced
from the office of Alderman to that of United States
Senator. He has always been a zealous and an active
Democrat, and during recent years he has been recognized
as a prominent leader of his party. His term as United
States Senator will expire on March 3d, 1899.
W1LI.IAM J. SEWEti., Camden.
Senator Sewell was born in Ireland in 1835. He came
to this country at an early age. At the outbreak of the
late war he was mustered into the United States service
as Captain in the Fifth New Jersey Regiment, August
28th, J 861, and participated in all the engagements in
15
226 BIOGRAPHIES.
which his regiment took part, down to the battle of
Spottsylvania, in May, 1864. In the battle of Chancel-
lorsville, General Mott was disabled by a severe wound,
and Sewell assumed charge of the brigade. At a critical
point in the engagement he led it forward in a resistless
charge and achieved one of the most brilliant successes of
the war. He captured eight colors from the Confederates,
and retook the regimental standard of a New York regi-
ment. His services were scarcely less brilliant at Gettys-
burg and other important points. He was wounded twice,
at Gettysburg and Chancellorsville He was made Ivieu-
tenant-Colonel of the Fifth Regiment, July, 1862, and
Colonel three months later. In September. 1864, after
recovering from illness, he became Colonel of the Thirty-
eighth Regiment, and remained with it in the field until
the close of the war.
He was made Brevet Brigadier-General of Volunteers.
April 9th, 1866, for "gallant and meritorious conduct in
the battle of Chancellorsville," and Major- General at the
close of the war, for meritorious services. When Joel
Parker became Governor, General Sewell was appointed
a member of his personal staff. During the railroad
strikes of 1877, he was sent by Governor Bedle to the most
critical point in New Jersey ( Phillipsburg), with the Sixth
and Seventh Regiments, and was appointed Provisional
Commander of the forces at that point. He guarded his
post so well that not a ripple of trouble occurred. He is
now, and has been for several years, Commander of the
Second Brigade, National Guard of New Jersey.
He was elected to the State Senate from Camden county
for three successive terms of three years each, and in the
years 1876, '79 and '80 he was President of that body. His
career as a legislator was one of brilliant usefulness, and
his record is remarkable for strict integrity, honorable
bearing and dignified deportment. When he was elected
to the Uniterl States Senate by the Legislature of 1881,
and on severing the ties of friendship which bound him
to those on both sides of the Chamber, an impressive
scene occurred, when Democrats as well as Republicans
vied with each other in complimenting him on the high
honor which had been conferred on him, and expressing
regret that the State was about to lose so valuable a mem-
ber of its law-making body. Appropriate resolutions
were unanimously passed, and Senator Sewell took his
leave a few days before the meeting of the United States
Senate, on the 4th of March, 1881. He was elected in
joint meeting over his predecessor, Hon. Theodore F.
BIOGRAPHIES. 227
Randolph, by a strict party vote. He was a delegate to
the Republican National Conventions of 1876 and 1880.
He was chairman of the New Jersey delegation to the
Republican National Convention at Chicago, in 1S81, and
was a staunch suf)porter of Blaine for the Presidency. In
1888 he was also chairman of the New Jersey delegation
to the Republican National Convention, when he sup-
ported General Harrison for the Presidency ; and again
in 1892, when he took a similar position. In 189tt he
also served as chairman of the New Jersey delegation to
the National Republican Convention held at St Louis.
He was succeeded by Rufus Blodgett as United States
Senator in 1887. In J 895, being the choice of the Repub-
lican caucus, he was elected to succeed John R. McPher-
son in the United States Senate. His term will expire
on March 3d, 1901.

the University of the City of New York, in 1870, which
comprised many men who have since attained eminence
in their profession, he took the $250 prize for the best
examination — a fact of which he is particularly proud.
He has been three times appointed Recorder of the city
of Paterson, a position which he held when he was elected
to Coiigress, but he was legislated out of ofifice in 1892 by
the Democratic Legislature, and was restored in the spring
of 1894, owing to Republican ascendency in the Legisla-
ture. He resigned the office in November, 1895. This is
his third term in Congress.

William D. Daly.
(Dem., Hoboken )
Mr. Daly was born in 1851, in Jersey City, and he has
always resided within the limits of Hudson county. His
early education was acquired in Public School No. ] , in
Jersey City, and among his schoolmates were some who-
have since become prominent, as, for instance, ex-Mayor
Wanser, Samuel D. Dickinson, City Treasurer of Jersey
City, and the late City Clerk John E. Scott. At the age
of fourteen he went to work in Cory's iron foundry as an
apprentice, and later he was employed in the foundry of
the Erie Railroad Company and at Blackmore's. Among
his shopmates in Blackmore's was Mayor Pagan, of
Hoboken. But the legal profession had always offered an
attractive field to Mr. Daly, and in J 870 he entered the
office of Blair & Ransom, in Jersey City. Four years
later he was admitted to the bar as an attorney, and later
he was made counselor.
Mr. Daly entered upon the practice of law with the tact
and energy peculiar to self-made men. He has practiced
law in all the courts of the State and has represented the
defense in more capital cases than any lawyer in the State,
and now stands in the front rank of criminal lawyers in
the State of New Jersey.
In the great Erie Railroad strike of 1878 Mr. Daly ap-
peared as counsel for the arrested freight-handlers and
secured their acquittal. In 18S7 he conducted the defense
of the Cigarmakers' Union in Jersey City, whose leaders
were charged with conspiracy. In this case also he suc-
ceeded in obtaining a verdict of acquittal. His early
associations have made Mr. Daly entertain a very kindly
feeling toward laboring men and labor organizations.
BIOGRAPHIES. 233
In appreciation of his legal ability, President Cleveland,
during his first term, appointed Mr. Daly Assistant United
States District Attorney, and this office he held for three
years, handing in his resignation to an incoming admin-
istration. In 1888 he was made alternate delegate to the
National Democratic Convention at St. Louis, and again,
in 1892, to the Chicago Convention. In 1896 he was a
district delegate to the National Democratic Convention
at Chicago. In 1891 he was urged to accept the nomina-
tion for member of the House of Assembly from the
Eighth District of Hudson county. Elected by a rousing
majority, he took his place on the floor of the House as
the practical leader of his party. The same courtesy
which had characterized his work as a practitioner won
for him hosts of friends as a legislator, even from the op-
position, and at the close of the session he was appointed
Judge of the Hoboken District Court. This office he re-
signed upon his election to the Senate in 1892.
The election which resulted in the choice of Judge
Daly to the Senate was won after a most exciting cam-
paign, J Herbert Potts, a man of great strength and
popularity, was nominated on the Republican ticket, but
Mr. Daly had such a hold on the popular heart that
he was triumphantly elected by 5,645 plurality, the
largest vote ever given a Senatorial candidate in Hudson
county. He was re-elected in 1895 by a plurality of 4.ii59
over ex-Assemblyman Max Salinger, the Republican
nominee.
During his six years' service in the Senate he gained a
high reputation as a legislator, and for more than half
that period he was the leader of his party on the floor.
He made a brilliant record in 1895. when the riparian
rights question was before the Senate, during his oppo-
sition to the Creamery Trust, and while serving as a mem-
ber of the Special Investigating Committee of the Senate.
During the Presidential campaign of 1896 he rendered his
party valuable service on the stump and also as a mem-
ber of its State Committee. He was a prominent candi-
date for the Democratic Gubernatorial nomination in
1898, and would have received a majority of the votes of
the convention had not a stampede been engineered just
in the nick of time in favor of the opposing candidate.
Still, despite his disappointment, Mr. Daly worked hard
for the election of Mr. Elvin W. Crane, the nominee.
Mr. Daly was elected to Congress by a plurality of 10,108.
the largest ever given to a candidate for Congress in the
district.

Solomon H. Stanger.
(Rep., Glassboro )
Senator Stanger was born at Glassboro, N. J., March
27th, 1836, on a farm. His boyhood days were spent
with these surroundings. His education was attained in
the old school-house at Glassboro, after which he entered
into the industry of tilling the soil, which he pursued
faithfully and successfully until the year 1881, when he
moved from the farm into the famous "Temperance
House" opposite the M. E. Church, Glassboro, and
opened a general store, which has grown to be the largest
and most successful of its kind in the county.
In 18S5 he was elected to the Board of Freeholders,,
serving in that capacity for ten successive years, hold-
ing the most important positions the Board could place
upon him.
In 1892 he was elected to the Assembly, and has been
re-elected three times since, serving four years altogether,
f.nd being the only person from Gloucester county ever
returned for so many successive terms. He served on

member of the Committees on Labor and Industry, Ri-
parian Rights and School for Deaf-Mutes.

and is a leader of, the Republican party, having at heart

same. His many friends, recognizing his sterling quali-
ties and faithful service, have shown their appreciation

A1.1.AN Langdon McDermott.
(Dem , Jersey City.)
Senator McDermott was born in South Boston, Mass.,
on the 30th of March, 1854. His father was Hugh Farrer
McDermott, who, to use the language of the memorial
resolutions adoped by the New York Press Club, on his
decease, in 1890, "in the wide scope of his literary labors,
as journalist, dramatist, author and poet, made a con-
spicuous place and earned enduring fame for himself."
His mother's maiden name was Annie J. Langdon, aad
she was of one of the oldest families in New England. In
1870 the subject of this sketch determined to follow
journalism, and, as a preliminary step, learned to set type
and run a press. A few verses published in a Boston
paper, and reprinted in the New York Telegram, in 1870,
show that Mr. McDermott had a very narrow escape from
a literary tomb. In 1876 he entered the law school of the
University of the City of New York, and was graduated
the following year, delivering an essay on *' The Sanction
of the Law," at the commencement exercises, held at the
Academy of Music, in June, 1877. The same year he was
admitted to the bar of New Jersey, becoming a counselor
in 1880. While he was a student in the office of the late
Leon Abbett, there was formed a friendship between pre-
ceptor and pupil which had grown with the years, and
had on more than one occasion evidenced a steadfastness
which is rarely found in the harsh lines of political asso-
ciation. In 1878 Mr McDermott was defeated as a can-
didate for Assembly from the Fourth District of Hudson
ccounty, but was elected in 1879 and 1880, and in 1881 was
BIOGRAPHIES. 243
the Democratic candidate for Speaker of that body.
From 1878 to 1883 he was Corporation Attorney of Jersey
City, resigning that position when appointed Judge of the
Second District Court, by Governor I^udlow In 1884
Governor Abbett appointed Mr. McDermott a member of
the State Board of Assessors. In that position he formu-
lated the rules which have ever since been followed in the
taxation of railroad property and corporate franchises in
New Jersey In 1880 Governor Abbett nominated him
as Clerk in Chancery, and he was confirmed by the Sen-
ate. In communicating the fact to the Legislature, the
late ex-United States Senator Cattell, also a member of
the State Board, wrote: "The Hon. Allan \,. McDer-
mott, one of the original members of the Board, was, dur-
ing the last session of the Legislature, appointed and con-
firmed as Clerk in the Court of Chancery, and on the 1st
of April resigned as a member of this Board to enter
upon his new position. Much of the success of the early
work of this Board is due to the intelligent and faithful
service of Mr. McDermott, largely supplemented by his
legal knowledge, which was invaluable. The Board
parted with him most regretfully, and we are free to say
that in our judgment it will be difficult to find one who
will in all respects fill his place." In 1884, '85 and '86
Mr. McDermott was President of the Board of Finance
and Taxation of Jersey City. Upon his retirement from
that position the Argus said : " The withdrawal of Allan
L. McDermott from the management of our municipal
finances is a public calamity. His clear head, his hon-
esty of purpose and untiring energy have rendered him
of inestimable value to our city. He has introduced and
enforced rigid principles of economy in our local expen-
ditures, and has, with the aid of his colleagues, estab-
lished an admirable financial system, which has placed
our credit above cavil or suspicion." He was renomi-
nated for Clerk in Chancery, in 1891, by Governor Abbett,
and he was again confirmed by the Senate. In 1892 Mr.
McDermott was, because of dissatisfaction with the exist-
ing local government, defeated in a canvass for the May-
oralty of Jersey City. In 1894 he was nominated by
Governor Werts as a member of the Commission ap-
pointed to revise the State Constitution. He was Chair-
man of the State Democratic Committee from 1886 until
1896, and drafted every platform, with one exception^
adopted by a State Democratic Convention during that
,time.
Mr. McDermott was Chairman of the New Jersey dele-
gation at the National Convention held in Chicag^o in 1898.

opponent received the year before 700 majority. The
Board of Aldermen elected him City Attorney in 1877.
The board was then a political tie. Although a Demo-

majority. The year previous the Republican candidate
had P59 majority. Mr. Van Cleef was elected to the

Cleef drafted and had passed some of the most important
laws of that period. In 1889 he was elected Mayor of
the city of New Brunswick, and so honestly and effi-
ciently did he conduct the duties of Executive that in
1891 he was unanimously re-elected to that office— the
Democrats having renominated him and the Republicans
having placed his name on their ticket. He was again,
renominated by the Democrats and indorsed by the Re-
publicans, and served a third term. The Senator holds
the degree of A. M., which was conferred upon him by
his Alma Mater in 1872. He comes of good, sturdy, Dutch

sively of permanent men Among other bills that were
pushed through the Legislature largely owing to his
efforts was the one providing for the new Fourth Regi-

office of the late Governor Joseph D. Bedle; was admitted
to practice as an attorney in June, 1862, and as a coun-
selor in June, 1865. He is one of three sons, all of whom
were lawyers.
After his admission, young Vredenburgh began the
practice of his profession at Freehold his native town,
and has continued to carry on the law business there ever
since, with the exception of about a year, 1864, when he
was located at Eatontown, to continue the business of his
brother. Major Peter Vredenburgh, Jr., who was absent

STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
The State Board of Health was created by the Legisla-
ture in 1877, and the annual reports show the work which
has been accomplished during the past twenty years.
Professor C. F. Brackett, M.D., LL.D., is President of
the Board, and Henry Mitchell, M.D., is Secretary. The
Secretary of State, the Attorney-General and the State
Geologist are members ex officio. The other members
are John A. Githens, Esq., Asbury Park ; Edward R.
O'Reilly, M.D., Elizabeth; Laban Dennis, M.D., New-
ark ; Franklin Gauntt, M.D., Burlington ; Henry Mitchell,
M D., Asbury Park ; Henry B Rue, M.D., Hoboken.
In addition to the duties assigned to the Board by the
act under which it is constituted, it has charge of the
execution of the laws for the prevention of the spread of
contagious diseases of animals, for regulating the sale of
petroleum, for preventing the sale of contaminated milk,
STATE DEPARTMENTS. 359
for regulating maritime quarantine, for conducting the
State laboratory of hygiene and for preventing the sale of
diseased meat and other unwholesome foods.
Besides its special work the Board is constantly con-
sulted by local health authorities concerning methods for
restricting the spread of preventable diseases, the abate-
ment of nuisances, the prevention of the pollution of
streams and for the improvement of sanitary administra-
tion.
As a Bureau of Vital Statistics the Board receives and
records all marriages, births and deaths which occur in
the State, and tabulates these records for use in proving
descent ; in the relations of guardians and wards ; in the
disabilities of minors ; in the administration of estates ;
the settlement of insurance and pensions ; 'he require-
ments of foreign countries concerning residence, mar-
riages and legacies ; for proving marriages in our own
couatry ; in voting and in the jury and militia service ;
in the right to admission and practice in the professions
and in public office ; in the enforcement of the laws relat-
ing to education and to child labor ; the determination of
the ' age of consent," &c
The following table shows the number of marriages,
births, still-births and deaths registered each year since
the establishment of the Bureau of Vital Statistics, with
all supplements included, and also the number of re-
corded marriages which occurred among non-residents :

STATE MUSEUM.
The State Museum was established by act of the Legis-
lature, approved March 20th, 1895. A Commission, con-
sisting of the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the
House of Assembly, the State Geologist, the Superin-
tendent of Public Instruction and the President of the
State Board of Agriculture, was created, the members to
serve without compensation This Commission appointed
Professor Silas R. Morse, of Atlantic City, Curator of the
Museum.
The Museum had its origin in the collections made by
the State for the World's Columbian Exposition in Chi-
cago, in 1893, and the geological exhibits that were al-
ready on exhibition in the State House.
New exhibits are constantly being added, and all the
available room on the third floor of the State House has
been filled. The exhibits are designed to keep the gen-
eral public in touch with the State's life, to illustrate its
natural resources and capabilities, and constitutes an
important part of its educational auxiliaries.
STATE BOARD OF AGRICULTURE.
President, Hon. D. D. Denise, Freehold; Vice-Presi-
dent, Professor E. B. Voorhees. New Brunswick; Treas-
urer, William R. Lippincott, Fellowship; Secretary,
Franklin Dye, Trenton; Executive Committee, H. F.
Bodine, Locktown; Dr Joseph B Ward Lyons Farms;
Walter Heritage. Mickleton; also the President, Vice-
President, Secretary and Treasurer.
There are nineteen County Boards now organized; also
a State Horticultural Society and a State Poultry Asso-
ciation. All these societies, except the last named, re-
ceive financial aid from the State Board appropriation.
The market value of lands now devoted to farming
purposes varies in different parts of the State, running
from $30 to |60, 180 and $100 per acre, being cheaper in
New Jersey, considering all the advantages, than any
other State in the Union. The number of farms in the
State is 30,828, having an average size of 86 acres. Total
acreage, 2,662,009, of which 75 per cent, is improved.
(Census of 1889.)
During the past year farm crops in the State were
varied as to yield. The wheat yield per acre, average as
made up from county reports, is 17.4 bushels ; rye, 16-
362 STA TE DEPAR TMENTS.
bushels; oats. 21 bushels ; buckwheat, 21 bushels ; hay,
H tons ; white potatoes, 75 bushels ; sweets, 140 bushels.
Apples and peaches were a short crop.
Number and value of farm animals in the State in 1897:
Horses, 79,980; value, $5,1:^7,961. Mules, 7,342; value,
1592.786 Milch cows, 208,421 ; value, $^7,523,998 (Milch
cows are much higher in price than they were last year
and the total value would be greatly increased at this time) ,
Other cattle, 42,40d ; value, 51,066,254. Sheep, 41,067 ;
value, $155,193. Swine, 150,368; value, $1,090,545.
Total valuation, $15,566,737. Fruit, market garden and
poultry products, if correct returns could be procured,
would largely increase this amount The Annual Report
of the Board comprises an edition of 5,000 copies, these
are quickly demanded by farmers and others interested
in such matters.
The Board holds its annual meeting at the State Houge,
convening the day immediately following the organiza-
tion of the Legislature. The members of the I/Cgislature
are cordially invited to attend its sessions.
PUBLIC ROADS UNDER STATE AID LA^SV.
There is no subject that is agitating the public mind to
a greater extent than the improvement of the wagon ways
of the United States. The greatest monuments of the
State are the long lines of improved highways it is yearly
instrumental in creating. There is no form of public
expenditure that the people are so generally well satisfied
with as the bounty the State is giving to the different
counties to aid them in making hard and permanent high-
ways. The zeal for hard roads is becoming each year
more and more intense throughout the State.
During the year of '98 the State Aid has been spread
over about eighty-five miles of roads This is an exten-
sion of the bounty over a larger area than any previous
year. The construction in '95 was about forty-six miles ;
in '96 about fifty miles ; in '97 about seventy miles, and in
'98 about eighty-five miles. The ability to construct a
greater number of miles each year arises from cheaper stone
and a better understanding on the part of the State and
counties of the principles of road-building. On account of
the greater demand, larger plants for the crushing of stone
are being placed on the trap ridges in different parts of
the State These plants are being erected with the most
improved devices, with immense crushing capacity and

facilities for handling material at the miDimum cost ;
therefore, the consequent competition for the sale of
stone is bringing the price down to a small profit per ton,
thus working in harmony with the prevalent commercial
idea — immense sales at small profits These are some of
the factors that are lessening the cost of hard roads.
Then, too, observation and experience have demonstrated
that the earth properly drained is as good a foundation as
can be obtained for any road superstructure ; therefore,
it is not necessary to deposit any more thickness of metal
for a foundation than is required to stand up under the
wear until the roads have to be resurfaced ; thus the
principal construction of the State has been changed
from roads ten, twelve and fourteen inches in thickness
into those four, six, and eight inches deep. The result
has also been that stone has been substituted on many of
the lines where gravel was intended, because it has been
found that a sufificient depth of stone can be supplied and
placed almost as cheaply as the gravel, and with less cost
when the gravel has to be carted long distances. Then,
the cost of maintaining is less and the stability of the
stone beds greater, they not being weakened by the
changes of seasons. Still, many miles of gravel roads
are being constructed through thinly-settled counties
where there is an abundance of gravel in close proximity
to the improvements
We are also learning to cheaply maintain the surface
of stone roads We have discovered that the application
of coarse sand, of gravel or loam, in which there is oxide
of iron, will maintain the integrity of the surface by
keeping the wear of the wagons and horses' shoes from
the stone, and makes a soft cushion for their feet. This
coating also prevents the stone dust from blowing away,
holding beneath the necessary moisture to maintain its
cementation qualities, the dust, when moist, being a most
powerful binder for broken stone Thus, by utilizing the
materials that lie along or near the lines of the roadbeds,
we are supporting the heavy traflSc and preserving the
surface from wear at a very small expense.
The desire for improved roads is greatly on the increase
There are now many counties that would immediately
cover all their leading lines with stone if they could pro-
cure the necessary means. There are now on file appli-
cations for 425 miles of roads, and the applications are
constantly increasing. Some counties are becoming so
impatient they cannot wait for State aid, but are con-
structing many miles of improved roads without the
assistance of the State.
364 STATE DEPARTMENTS.
On many of the roads of this State, where the traffic is
mostly moving in one direction, a macadamized or gravel
width of eight feet would be amply sufficient ; on roads
more important, where it is necessary to provide for the
frequent passing of vehicles, a stone width of sixteen feet
is necessary. It is probable, however, that a minimum
width of ten or twelve feet would be better than eight
feet, as the traffic would not be so closely confined to one
track, and the edges of the roadbed would be less likely
to be pushed out. Drivers should be instructed to drive
over all parts of roads, to prevent the formation of ruts,
which are great destroyers of roads. We have settled
upon the widths of ten, twelve and fourteen feet as ample
for the traffic in the country and sixteen feet in the towns,
as the limit for State aid.
The roads are now costing all the way from twenty to
seventy cents a square yard : in the lower part of the
State the cost ranges from fifty to seventy cents. In
Morris and Passaic counties they are building the bed of
stone four and six inches deep ; consequently the expense,
where rock is mined along the road, ranges only from
twenty to forty five cents per square yard.
We have adopted a system of continuous avenues, nd
have now nearly completed a line which runs all the way
from Atlantic City in the Southern part of the State, to
Jersey City, and from Jersey City to the extreme western
boundaries of Morris and Passaic counties. West of these
we are building other sj^stems, crossing at Trenton,
which are almost parallel with the first, so that in a few
years there will be several continuous lines north and
south, east and west through the State.
Three continuous lines have been started from the city
of Trenton, portions of which are already built. The
first one leads from Trenton through Pennington, Hope-
well, Blawenburg and Belle Mead to Somerville, where it
will connect with the northern system of roads running
east to Newark ; another line, already built from Tren-
ton through Princeton to Kingston, is projected from
there to Belle Mead, thence to Somerville ; also from
Kingston by the way of Millstone to New Brunswick.
The third line, already built to Edinburg, is projected by
the way of Cranbury over the Cranbury pike to New
Brunswick. These lines, with laterals, will supply a
large area with hard roads all leading from Trenton,
through good farming districts, to the most important
cities in the north central and eastern portions of the
State
STATE DEPARTMENTS. 365
From the City of Camden there are seven continuous
lines mostly built, leading southwest, south, southeast,
east, north and northeast, over highly cultivated farming
districts, and through the largest towns in Burlington,
Camden and Gloucester counties. Lines are building
and projected in Monmouth county which will, in time,
connect the cities named with the farming districts of
Monmouth, and with the rapidly growing towns of the
richly-developed Monmouth county seashore. Several
lines are completed from New Brunswick and Metuchen,
east to Plainfield ; north to Rahway, and west to Perth
Amboy.
Many lines are completed, and others nearly so, lead-
ing from Paterson and Newark west, through Essex, Pas-
saic, Morris and Somerset counties. In Morris county
several lines are being built, and others contemplated,
leading from Morristown through all sections of the
county, and connecting east and south with the improved
roads of the adjacent counties, making fine drives for
the wealthy New Yorkers that have settled in great num-
bers in these picturesque sections, and great market
lanes over which the farmers easily transport their
produce to the great population residing in Newark and
the Oranges.
The wheelmen were ' he early advocates for stone roads,
but now farmers are the pleaders and workers, and they
have filed hundreds of petitions and daily filing more.
The reason is they are yearly saving, in the use of the
hard roads, many thousands of dollars in the wear and
tear of the teams, in the cash cost of sending their pro-
duce to market, and in the better condition of the prod-
ucts when delivered. These statements are strikingly
illustrated in our southern counties, where thousands of
immense loads of produce are daily carted to the Phila-
delphia markets at a saving of from eight to ten dollars a
team per day over the old plan of transportation. The
result is the farmers are rapidly buying larger, heavier
wagons with broad tires. If the present rate of increase
continues, the capacity of each wagon will be almost
equal to that of the small boat formerly used in this
carrying trade The railroads are rapidly destroying the
carrying trade of the canals ; so the macadamized roads
are rapidly superseding the streams as highways over
which the nearby products can be more easily and cheaply
transported
Governing bodies of counties are also learning to cheapen
construction by finding they cannot afford to pay by
expensive mistakes for the education of engineers, so they
366 STA TE DEPA R TMENTS.
are now tnainly employing them without regard to their
party affiliations, giving them fixed salaries instead of
percentages, thus destroying all temptation to increase
the cost of the work The frequent changes of engineers
has, in the past, lost the counties thousands of dollars
from the ignorance of new incumbents of the first princi-
ples of road-building Eight counties have adopted this
principle of continuous service, and are receiving benefits
from so doing far beyond the amount of the salary of the
engineer.
TROI.I.EY I,INES.
Governing bodies of townships and counties should
long hesitate before allowing trolley lines in the center
of their macadam roads. They destroy the crowns of
these roads, making them doubly expensive and impos-
sible to maintain They cause rutting and heavy draft-
ing, by forcing the weight of the wagon loads to the lower
side of the bed, strain the wheels of wagons and destroy
their rims, make driving dangerous, and entirely unsafe
for women and children, and cause many runaways from
fright, forcing many to desert the highways to avoid the
danger of the rapidly passing car.
Trolleys are a necessity, and of great benefit to com-
munities, but they should obtain their lines outside of,
and not be permitted to destroy our highways, dedicated
to free and unobstructed public use for personal vehicles.
STKEI< RAIi:.S.
The Road Department at Washington is making, in
several Western States, some very satisfactory experi-
ments with steel rails for wagon roads. The form of the
rail is an inverted trough, the surface flat, with a slightly
raised bead to guide the wheel. There are no wooden
ties ; the rails are tied hy rods Every rail-joint is so ar-
ranged as to serve as a remount for wheels. There is a
fair prospect of their coming into use in sections where
stone is scarce or entirely absent.
Through the kindness of the Massachusetts Highway
Commission we have been enabled to test some of the
different varieties of trap in our State as to their co-
efficient of wear.
We hope the State will, in the near future, make an
appropriation for mechanical and chemical test of its road
stone.

Inaugural Address of Hod. Foster M. Voorhees.
Gentlemen of the Senate and General Assembly :
The duties of the office upon which [ am about to enter
are assumed with a deep sense of all that is implied in
the words of the oath just taken I shall strive to observe
it both in letter and in spirit.
Although chosen through the favor of my fellow citi-
zens, as representing one of the great political parties of
the State, I am not unmindful of the obligation to devote
my services to the common good of all. I have no
apology to offer for being a partisan. Under a republican
form of government parties will of necessity arise. A
people, free to learn and free to think for themselves, can
only find in organization the instrument to enforce their
wishes respecting government. Political parties are not
to be considered as unmixed evils. Their existence is an
evidence of active interest in public affairs. Their ad-
herents are quick to assert their individual rights and to
exact a full and faithful performance of every public
duty. Through their agency the ends of government are
best to be secured. But governments do not exist merely
for the sake of parties. With public power comes the
duty to exercise it for the public good Viewed from a
selfish standpoint, I believe that they best serve a party
who, in the conduct of their office, pay heed to the in-
terests of the greatest number. This duty is especially
imposed upon the Executive by the oath of office which
he takes In his acts he is not to seek partisan advantage
only. He is to promote the peace and prosperity of the
State and maintain its lawful rights. He is to see that
its laws, civil and criminal, are enforced alike for all and
against all He is to secure equal protection to rich and
to poor. Violators of the law are to be punished without
distinction. He must demand honesty and economy, and
oblige public servants to render a faithful and efficient
service.* Personal prejudice or passionate partisanship
have no place in the discharge of his duties. On the
contrary, everything which will promote the honor, the
happiness and the common welfare of the State are to be
the objects of his solicitude and care.
Such, in brief, are the views I entertain of the office
which I now assume At all time's and under all circum-
stances I shall, to the best of my ability, act in accord-
(437)
438 INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
ance with these views, indulging the hope that to the
commonwealth which I serve there may come no harm
and that its happiness and prosperity may be advanced.
The limitation which custom has put upon an address
of this character prevents me from making more than a
brief reference to policies or measures which I think
should especially engage legislative attention. As occa-
sion may arise, it will be my privilege to communicate to
the Legislature special recommendations upon those sub-
jects which I may deem worthy of consideration.
It is fortunate for the interests of the State that there
are no subjects of a purely partisan character likely to
present themselves Matters can be considered dispas-
sionately and wnthout party bias, and all can claim an
equal share in the credit and responsibility for what may
be done.
The reforms inaugurated within recent years have re-
moved many subjects which formerly called for and
received legislative action.
The policy, so recently begun of managing our State
institutions upon a non-partisan basis, has, during the
short time of trial, demonstrated the wisdom of those
who favored it. It has received the emphatic approval of
the public and cannot now be abandoned without injury
to the public service. Legislative interference with local
self-government is contrary to the spirit of our institu-
tions, and the fate of those who have offended in this
regard in the past warns us against future violations of
our duty. In these days when independence of thought
characterizes the average voter, when party allegiance is
quickly shifted, when those who prefer good government
to success of party can, by their action, affect the results
of an election, higher considerations than those purely
partisan must influence the law-maker if he would win
public confidence and favor for himself and those whom
he represents.
Except in a few notable instances, the Legislature will
have to deal with matters mainly local in character and
without political significance.
The recommendation of the distinguished Governor
who immediately preceded me, that legislative action
should be restricted, has been wisely followed. It is
known and observed by all that the volume of laws has
notably decreased without prejudice to the interests of
the general public. For the most part such measures
only have been enacted as were demanded by some press-
ing and general necessity. The reform thus auspiciously
INAUGURAL ADDRESS. 439
begun in our own State, and so urgently recommended
in others, has the approval of all, irrespective of party. I
trust that the same spirit may continue to prevail, and
that favorable action will be limited to those measures
only which are worthy of assuming the form of positive
enactment I/et us abandon the notion that in some form
of law it is desirable to find means to remove every
fancied evil or temporary inconvenience and to provide
for every imaginary method of conduct. It is better that
the laws should be fewer in number, and comprehend
within their scope objects of moment, than that numer-
ous enactments which are limited in operation and only
temporary in importance should find place on the statute-
book. The evil effects and inconvenience resulting from
legislation of the last-mentioned character has made
necessary the appointment of the several commissions to
codify the laws relating to various subjects. They have
been obliged to harmonize provisions of numerous con-
flicting statutes, remove redundancies, and correct obscure
or careless forms of expression, in order to embody in one
clear, concise and explicit act all laws relating to the
topic which formed the subject of their labors. It has
required the exercise of great skill and care, and especial
credit is due to these gentlemen who have gratuitously
given their time and services in the prosecution of a
work so advantageous to the State. There is need for a
similiar revision and codification of laws relating to other
topics, and it is my intention in due time to appoint
commissions for this purpose.
In this connection one subject presents itself, which,
by reason of the great interests involved, calls for earnest
and immediate attention. I refer to the laws relating to
cities and other municipalities. Scattered through many
pages of the statute-books, and forming the subject-mat-
ter of numerous chapters of laws, are to be found the
provisions relating to this form of government. They
are conflicting, doubtful and obscure. They have fre-
quently been the subjects of litigation and have received
judicial interpretation. At times they have received con-
struction seemingly contradictory. Few dare hazard
an opinion as to the constitutionality of a proposed enact-
ment, so great is the uncertainty in which the power of
the Legislature relating to this subject is now involved,
and so subtle have been the distinctions made as to the
required tests of a valid act. I believe radical measures
are required to remove the present embarrassing con-
dition. Some general and uniform act for all cities i§
440 INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
necessary if the present uncertainty is to be removed. A
mere codification of existing laws will not remove the
trouble. It may be necessary to modify or repeal the
provisions of some special charters if a general form of
municipal government be devised, but in doing this the
common good of all would be promoted at the possible
expense of the few who might be temporarily affected.
In such a scheme provision could be made for simpler
and more effective methods for the administration of
municipal affairs, the necessity for which is manifested
in the general dissatisfaction and desire for change which
now exists. The advantages which would follow the
adoption of some such carefully devised law are manifest.
I think the Legislature should appoint or authorize the
Executive to name a commission to consider the subject,
and prepare such a plan for the government of cities as
» they may think proper after a full investigation.
I wish also to direct attention to the growing surplus
in the treasury. So prolific are the State's sources of
revenue that its annual income during the last fiscal year
amounted to more than two million dollars, exclusive of
the proceeds of the school tax
Keeping pace with the growth of the receipts, the State
fund balance has now reached a large amount. A defi-
ciency existed in 1889, but this balance fund is now rep-
resented by about one million dollars. The amount
therein has increased, notwithstanding the fact that dis-
bursements out of State and school funds have each year
been larger, and have increased in amount from about
fifteen hundred thousand dollars in the year of the defi-
ciency to more than two millions of dollars in the last
fiscal year.
The increase in disbursements is partly to be accounted
for by the sums required for the needs of a growing
State, and partly by the sums expended for educational
purposes and in the erection and improvement of State
institutions, including armories. In so far as the reve-
nues of the State have been spent for these objects, there
is little ground for just criticism or complaint. Some-
thing of a permanent and useful character stands in
place of the moneys expended, or benefits have been re-
ceived by the public which fully compensate them for the
disbursements. But one of the largest items of increase
is to be found in the amount annually appropriated for
charitable and reformatory purposes. This sum has in-
creased from about two hundred thousand dollars, spent
in 1884, to more than four hundred thousand dollars,
INAUGURAL ADDRESS. 441
spent in 1898. The amount now annually disbursed rep-
resents about seventeen per cent, of the State's total
yearly expenditures This increase is so striking, and has
grown so rapidly, as to suggest the inquiry whether there
cannot be devised some means of retrenchment without
injury to those entitled to the bounty of the State It
may well be that many of the inmates of our institutions
are now supported at public expense who are not rightly
entitled to receive the help of the State.
There is little likelihood of further demands for large
extraordinary expenditures in the immediate future,
except in one or two instances. If economy be practiced,
and the income received by the State shows no appre-
ciable falling off, the State fund is not likely to decrease.
It is more likely to assume proportions which will be far
larger than the needs of the State require. Its existence
will ])rove a constant inducement to extravagance or
unwise expenditure The funds should be maintained at
such an amount as prudence and a due regard to the de-
mands thereon, which may be reasonably anticipated,
may suggest. Any sum in excess thereof should be
wisely disposed of in relieving the burdens of local taxa-
tion. Already some measures in this direction have been
adopted without endangering the State's interests or
seriously affecting its balances. To what extent, if any,
further distribution should be made requires very careful
consideration. Many ways in which it can be done
readily suggest themselves. There might be returned to
the different municipalities that part of the income which
is derived from taxes assessed against property therein
located. This method is open to the very serious objec-
tion that the revenues of the State are uncertain in
amount and vary from year to year, as do also the
amounts required for legitimate objects of expenditure.
A permanent diversion of a portion of its funds might
seriously hamper the State and prevent it from meeting
just and pressing demands. It is questionable whether
this plan would bring about the local relief which those
favoring it believe would come from its adoption. It is
y> a matter of common observation that expenditures in
y^ muoicipalities are usually limited by the amounts subject
to their disposal, and it is within the range of probability
that means would be found to dispose of moneys thus
returned without a corresponding reduction of tax rate.
It would be better, in my judgment, under existing
circumstances, if any action s taken by the legislature,
to devise some plan whereby the amount diverted should

not be a fixed annual sum, but one varying according to
the condition of the treasury and the claims likely to be
made thereon. Appropriations could be made for objects
for the support of which the people of the State are now
paying direct taxes. In this way the amount now
annually raised for the support of public schools could
be reduced, or some means might be devised whereby,
upon an equitable apportionment, the expenses of the
various counties for the support of their courts could in
part be defrayed
In this connection, and as constituting one of the
objects for which extraordinary expenditure may be
needed, I wish to call your attention to the incompleted
buildings of the State Reformatory at Rahway. From
time to time there have been appropriated and expended
on their account various sums, aggregating one hundred
and eighty-five thousand dollars. Work on these build-
ings is now and has been practically for more than a year
at a standstill. In its incompleted form the building now
partly erected stands as a monument to the folly with
which the undertaking was conceived or to the lament-
able lack of good judgment shown in not pushing the
work to completion. There may be room for honest dif-
ference of opinion as to the wisdom of finishing the
buildings in accordance with the extensive plans origin-
ally authorized. The sum estimated to be necessary for
this purpose is a large one -in the minds of many larger
than is warranted in accomplishing the objects of a
Reformatory. There is a need however, for some new
buildings in which to confine our criminals. Increased
accommodations must be provided either here or else-
where. From the annual report it appears that the State
Prison is again overcrowded, notwithstanding the recent
addition to the number of its cells Increased accommo-
dation, however, is not all that is demanded. It is of
the greatest importance that we should begin at the
earliest possible moment a system of prison treatment
which, wherever tried, has proved so beneficial in the
reformation of criminals. Motives of humanity and
selfish interest alike prompt this undertaking. It will be
within the province of the Legislature to determine
whether the work shall be completed as originally de-
signed, or whether the present plans shall be so modified
as to call for the expenditure of a less sum of money
without interfering with the method of treatment of
prisoners which it is proposed to follow These state-
ments are not intended to impute a reckless extravagance

in the work already done. I believe that the strictest
honesty has characterized every disbursement. The
buildings are models in simplicity of design, and there is
an absence of elaborate and exterior ornamentation call-
ing for useless expenditure. I hope that the Legislature
will give earnest attention to the matter, in order that
the interests of the State may be served and the inaugura-
tion of a great and beneficial work no longer delayed.
There is another subject to which reference can be ap-
propriately made at this time, for it is one in the proper
solution of which the public at large are greatly inter-
ested. I refer to the great and increasing value of fran-
chises possessed and exercised by corporations who
render public services for pay. Ample proof of this
value is to be found in the vast increase in the amount of
interest- bearing securities and stock issued by them.
This increase in value is due to many causes Among
those that readily suggest themselves are the rapid
growth of our cities, the diminished cost of constructing
and extending quasi public works, and inventions that
facilitate and at the same time decrease the expense of
operation. Corporations which supply public necessities
in this State have been capitalized in recent years at
many times the cost of their property, and vastly in ex-
cess of what it would cost to reponstruct them, [t is
admi ted that the public have derived great benefit from
the growth of these corporations in the way of better
service and lower rates, but this benefit, it is estimated,
is less than it might have been if obligations had not
been unnecessarily incurred to pay interest on bonds issued
to represent the estimated value of the franchises enjoyed.
It is not the policy of these companies to pay large divi-
dends on their stock, but rather to find reasons from
time to time for increasing issues of their bonds. These
are often widely distributed among small investors, and
thereby such transactions are rendered more secure If
the charges are true and there are good reasons why past
proceedings of this kind cannot be undone, it is all the
more important that they should be regulated in the
future.
We all fully realize the importance of dealing with this
matter in a conservative spirit. The prosperity of a State
depends largely on the security which it gives to the capi-
tal invested therein. Those obligations, however, which
are issued for the estimated value of a franchise do not
properly represent capital, if that value is based upon re-
ceipts from excessive charges made for public service.
444 INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
Popular discontent has led to much unwise and injurious
legislation on this subject in other States. We should
profit by the mistakes that have been made, and devise
some just and effective remedy, if one be needed. In
some of the States maximum rates have been arbitrarily
fixed by statute, but this is a crude method of dealing
with the problem, and often unfair in its application to
the differing conditions of various localities. A rate that
is reasonable in one place may be unreasonable in an-
other. In other States, commissions have been author-
ized by law to fix rates after a semi- judicial investigation
of conditions in each particular case. Experience has
shown, however, that it is diflScult to confine such legis-
lation and proceedings within rational bounds. In sev-
eral instances rates thus fixed have been so manifestly
unfair that the courts have been constrained to enjoin
their enforcement in order to prevent confiscation. Such
legislation draws into our courts questions that are not
properly of a judicial character, and it would be unfor-
tunate, indeed, if this State should be compelled to enact
laws of the kind referred to in order to find a remedy for
the alleged evil. If legislation is to be enacted, it should
be only after a full investigation into all of the facts and
should be free from the objectionable features which I
have mentioned.
Events which have been most notable in the history of
our country have transpired since the Legislature last
convened. A war has been waged and brought to an
honorable and successful close. Victories on land and
sea, the most splendid in the history of the world, have
been won. Our brave soldiers and sailors knew not a
single defeat. For them no odds were too great — no dif-
ficulties brought dismay. Important and lasting will be
the influence of the contest thus waged. We are now, as
never before, respected as a powerful and a just people —
fearless in the cause of right ; forbearing in time of vic-
tory. Henceforth our place is prominent in the councils
of the nations New conditions confront us ; new prob-
lems demand solution ; but we meet them courageously.
A special significance is to be found in these momentous
and swiftly passing events. Our national spirit has been
quickened and our people united in sentiment. Old
prejudices have disappeared and old wounds have been
healed. No section, no class, has yielded to another in
display of loyalty and devotion. When the honor of the
country was at stake and its safety was threatened, there
came from all over this broad land an eager response to
INAUGURAL ADDRESS. 445
the summous to arms. To day, as citizens of one State,
we can rejoice with the citizens of other States over the
victories won and the honors achieved, and gladly share
with them the glory that belongs to all.
New Jersey has cause for special pride in the zeal and
patriotism shown by its citizens. Quick, and in numbers
greater than allotted, was their response to the call for
soldiers, and bitter was the disappointment of those
whoj^e eager proffer of service was refused. Whether on
land or on sea, New Jersey soldiers and sailors so demeaned
themselves that honor and credit came to the State. For
fidelity, for intelligence, for willing and patient service
during trying times and under discouraging circum-
stances, they pre-eminently distinguished themselves,
and by their conduct won the commendation of all. To
them is due all honor, and from the people of the State a
grateful recognition of their valor and patriotism.
Many, if not all of them, have made unusual sacrifices.
Their continued service has entailed upon them, and
upon those dependent on them for their support, unusual
hardships and burdens. The compensation which they
have received from the national government, limited as
it is, cannot be expected to fully reimburse them for their
financial losses In what especial way, whether by
pecuniary compensation or otherwise, the State shall
make recognition of their sacrifices is for the Legislature
to determine. In the justice and the wisdom of its con-
clusions I have every confidence.
I desire on this occasion to renew my pledge to serve
unselfishly and without fear the people of our great com-
monwealth. I shall to the utmost of my power and with
earnest purpose endeavor at all times to guard their
interests and promote their happiness. In my efforts I
bespeak the generous aid and support of my fellow-citi-
izens, and look for guidance and help to the Supreme
Ruler of all nations.
