HOPING For JACOBS,s DEFEAT.

If only Jacobs Is defeated shall feel more grat-
fed than do now" said Gustav Schwab yesterday.
I" He is and has been a great obstruction to the
commerce Of this port by his opposition to the pilot
age reduction bills. In any event | feel satisfied
that his power is broken; he can no longer lead tho
Senate by the nose as he has done / am surprised
that Brooklyn should send such man to represent
the people in Albany, and if he is given a majority
of votes they will be closely investigated so that il
fraud has been practised he will be prevented from
taking his seat"
Edward Hincken ex-President of the Produce Ex-
change, who is Democrat, said hope Jacobs ia
defeated, for we can readily dispense with such
man. lie has no principle, as is shown in the fact
that he issued a circular on Monday urging his re-
election, and among the names appended TO 1t was
mine as well as the names of Others which he had
no authority to use. 1t was a fraud upon tho
people. Jacobs makes himself q great enemy to
commerce by his unwarranted opposition TO tho
pilOtage reduction bill which the merchants have
endeayOred to have passed for several years"

OPINIONS OF VARIOUS OFFICIALS.

President Van Colt, of the Fire Department, who
Is member of the Republican State Committee,
looked pleased but tired as he sat In his Office al
Fire Headquarters yesterday az need little rests
he said. I" because worked hard until the close of
the election. have not had time to visit the State
Committee rooms to-day, but wouldn't be sur
prised If the vote in the country will elect the entire
Republican State ticket by small majority. What
change In the Republican party In this State since
last yearl 1t looks to me certain that we can
carry the State next year by q handsome majority
if the party remains united. For one, am anxious
to forget past differences in the party and work for
the election Of a Republican President in 1884. I
believe that the leaders Of the party are anxious to
prevent any contentious which might endanger
success next year."
Edmund Stephenson, president Of the Home Bank
and Commissioner of Emigration, said I" This is a
clean, square Republican victory, and no mistake
about it. It's splendid victory, with both
branches of the Legislature Republican, and no
doubt Clevelands personal comfort is somewhat
disturbed OF course should like TO see the State
ticket elected but we ought not to expect TOO
much; the thinking people Will gradually come
over to the Republican party"
"WhO do you think will be selected to succeed
the present Commission under the new law pro-
viding for singe-headed Commission y
" don't know, but am certain that Murtha viii
not be confirmed. You may depend upon it that no
one of the present Board is the anx ions seat, I'M
less it may be Urich OF course unless the Cow
ernOr sends in name acceptable 10 the new Senate
he will not be confirmed. The same may be said
with regard to the Quarantine Commissioners, who
are holding over because the Senate failed to con-
firm the Governors nominees last spring."
George Starr, one of the Emigration Commission
eTs, swLng Lis hat geelully when asked how he felt
about the election. Feel !" said he. Well, feel
like young man. With Pennsylvania and Massa-
chusetts Republican we ought to feel hopeful for
next years success. Wen do better in New York
next year, and you can bet that the Republican
party will carry the State by a large majority"

A large audience was attracted last night to
Krish's hall TO witness the second musical en-.
tertainment and festival, given under the
management of Rev. L. G. Jordin and wife,
for the benefit of the Macedonia Baptist
church. The programme was quite long and
varied and seemed to give much amusement
to the spectators. The chorus singing by the
Sabbath school choir showed good training,
and the peculiar sounding melody of the
voices was distinctive feature.
The acting and singing by Master L. Jor
din, about eight years of age, was extra good
for one so young. His whistling chorus, and
acting in the Mary's Little Lamb song, made
an uproar in the audience.
The basso Of E. J. Sadder, OF the Nash
vile university, showed training and a good
voice, surpassed by few professionals.
The piano and organ Accomplishments Of
Mrs. L. G. Jordn, the wife Of the pastor, ex-
hibited considerable merit, the time being
especially noticeable.
Ice-cream and cakes were served after the
performance. and the whole affair proved a
financial success.
