New Jersey Politics.

THE PENDING ELEoTIoN-nrUoH INTEREST IN THE
LEGIsLArIvE OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES OF THE NEXT
LEoIsLATUaE-P PROBABILITY OF REPUBLICAN
VICTORY.
At the pending election in New Jersey no State
officers are to be chosen, and the campaign is
purely a local one. Considerable intorestls never
theless manifest, because Of theimportAnt duties
to devolve upon the members of the Legislature
about to be chosen. The adoption of the amend
ments to the Constitution Will impose upon both
branches duties Of peculiar responsibility and
delicacya They effect in some cases radical
changes in rhe organic law of the State. The
remodeing or repeal of statutes now in force
which conflict with the new amendments will be
a task of no little difficulty. The local govern
ments of several cities, Jersey City no.
tably, will have to be reorgalized, and
their reconstruction on right principles OF local
government will require the exercise of all tile
ability and Judgment the people can command
on the part Of their legislators. Both political
parties recognize the necessity of selecting their
best men, and, 80 far as nominations have been
made, there is little to complain Of. Most of
the conventions, however, for the nomination of
Assemblymen and State Senators are to meet
during the next ten days. 20
The prospects of Republican triumph are
unusually good and the indications are that
both branches OF the Legislature viii have work
ing Republican msjorities. The Newark elec-
election is regarded by the Republicans as the
forernnner Of Oh equally splendid triumph all
over the State, while it has much impaired the
confidence Of the Democracy in a victory for
their party. na a.frI
