GREELEY's WEAKNESS IL New JER.
sEY.-The persistent and systematic ex.
aggerations of Greeley's strength in New
Jersey are all swept aside by plain
statement Of the facts in the Trenton Ga
,ette. That payer says: ave are in the
possession Of information, carefully and
conscientiousiy gathered, from overy part
of New Jersey, and we have yet to hear
of the first locality where there is such
development Of Liberal sentiment as to
create the slightest alarm. In some en-
tire townships not single Greeley re-
publican can be found, while in those dis
tricts where their most boosted strength
lies dilligent inquiry and research invar.
iably reduces their number to three or
four The Democratic party on the
other hand is demoralized and spiritless.
The nomination OF Horace Greeley has
benumbed and disheartened them. Not
single Democratic journal has accepted
the nomination with enthusiasm. Thous-
ands Of New Jersey Democrats will not
vote at all; a large number will vote for
Grant.
