II is especially interesting and instructive,
in view of the discord and DISAGREEMENT
which Administration interference has caused IN
New York and Pennsylvania, to see the unity
and eaInestness OF the Republicans in New
jersey. Independent as ever, that State does
not seem affected at all by excitements on
either side and as it more than once has CIV
on Democratic maiOrties when the great
States adjoining were overwhelmingly Repub-
lcan. so it promises to do we'll for the Republic
cans now, whether other States do or not. The
Republicans of New-Jersey have shaped their
course and made their nominations Tor
themselves. They are nowhere disturbed
by the feeling that their candidates were
manufactured for them by fraud in con-
yention or by outside interference ana
are working Loyalty, and with more OF
earnestness than is usually seen i'll an ION
year. for the success OF their ticket. In this
respect they have the advantage over the
Democrats, who are broken up by the convlc-
ton that their candidate in one Congressional
district was fraudulenty nominated that the
candidate in another is in every way unit ana
undeserving that Miles Ross, in another, Sc
cured his nomination only by bad faith to-
ward other Democratic aspirants and that IN
other districts they have no chance OF success.
The Congressional nominations have all
been made In the With, or Newark District
Mr. John l.. Blake was nominated by acclama-
ton without need of n formal ballot, and
in terse letter of acceptance which has made
Almost favorable impression, argues strongly for

:" No man will condemn more strongly than
"mysef the proposition that places of dignity
" or trust are to be given as rewards for political
services, without regard to moral or intellectual
"wOrth." Mr.. Blake has the confidence OF the
people of the district, and, though Mayor
Fielder the Democratic candidate, is person
ally popular, the result OughtnO be doubtful.
In the With, Jersey City District, the Re-
publican Convention nominated for Congress
its chairman, Gilbert Collins, Notwithstanding
his repeated declinaton, and his friends will
make vigorous effort to elect him, although
the district usually gives Democratic ma
ioriy. The opposing candidate, McAdOo,
makes little progress Ill overcoming the strong
dissatisfaction which his nomination caused,
and has not yet satisfied intelligent voters that
Congress.
MI Robson, in tho Camden District is
making a vigorous canvass and has powerful
advantage in the fact that the Pennsylvania
Railroad tried hard, but in VAN, to defeat his
nomination. New-Jersey Republicans have
had no ailectiOnate feeling toward that cOrpo-
ration since it caused the defeat of Mr.. Potts for
Governor, and the people are greatly disposed
to show that they resent its interference in the
political affairs and the government of the
State. New-Jersey has no leaning toward Com
munism, and has been more than generous
toward its corporations, but it likes to retain its
nower 70 elect its own Governors and Congress-
men.
The extent of the dissatisfaction among the
Democrats in the Warren County District may
he iudged from the fact that many Democrats
nredict the defeat of the candidate of the party,
Notwithstanding the usually large majority in
fine district. The course of the campaign
thus far has been unexpectedly favorable to
the Republican candidate. Mr.. Howey.
Mr.. Phelps, the Republican candidate, has
been making an active canvass III the Vth Dis
trict. and is met with hearty enthusiasm Alter
spending some time in Morris and Passaic
Counties. he addressed the Republican Con-
venton of Bergen County on Saturday, ehectu-
ally clearing away misrepresentation as to hs
course when in Congress, aud gave great salts
faction He speaks in Paterson tonight, and
the enthusiasm in that county is the more re-
markable because Dir. Ryle, the Democratic
candidate, was nominated for bis supposed
popularity there. Some feeling appears to exist
because of Mr.. Ryle's past treatment of oper-
atives employed by him. and, being an English
man by birth, he is opposed by many voters of
Irish nativity. 1t is thought that if full vote
can be called out the election of Mr. PHELPS is
