TIL silent forces, which are the great
forces in the East, are for Grover Cleve.
land. The opposition to him is bigger at
birth and gets smaller every day towards
election. His antagonists are mere splut-
terers as compared with the great indie
pendent spirits who prefer him for the
country's sake. He grows surely evey day,
while the Plumed Knight enjoyed his
greatest strength by anticipation--only be-
fore the campaign had opened. He is de-
fenceless against attack, while Cleveland

discernable in all the important localities
OF the East, while developments in favor
OF the Democratic nominee occur almost
daily giving promise that he will be the
next President Of the United States by h
majority unprecedented in recent political
history. Every straw in the air is borne
in the same observation-disclosures Demo-
cratic victory. The following is, in fact,
a whole stack Of straws at once. 1t is an
account of a most significant meeting of
Republicans in Essex county, N. j., re-
ported in the New York Herald of the 5th
inst:
Matters are looking very blue for the Re-
publican managers in New Jersey. A very
unpleasant surprise has just befsllen them
in Essex county, which follows with very
bad effect the refusal of Mr.. George A.
Halsey, one of the foremost Republicans
in the State, to accept the nomination for
Congress rendered him a few days ago by
reclamation.
Essex county gave Gen. Grant 5000 ma
jority on his second election to the Presi-
dency. 1t elected Judge Dixon, a Repub-
lican, by a large majority last year. 1t is
highly probable that it will give the Demo-
cratic ticket a good majority this year.
Pursuant to a printed circular call 80
gentlemen Of the highest responsibility
lawyers, school teachers, clergymen, mer-
| chants and manufacturers-gathered OIL
Wednesday night at the law Office of
Joseph l.. Mum and Edward M. Collie, in
the State Bank Building, Newark. All the
leading points Of the county we're repre-
sented.
DEAD AGAINST BLAINE.
81 nave two brothers, two brothers-in-
law and one cousin" said Mr.. Hamilton
Wallis, OF East Orange, land every one of
| them is dead against Blaine" Mr.. Wallis
was chosen to preside. In the course of
some remarks he said that even among
| those who were supporting Blaine and
Logan there was great discomfort. He
was on the same train with Logan recently,
and the reception accorded the gentleman
| all along the line was cold and tame.
Edward A. Day, of Newark, was chosen
| Secretary. Speeches were made by a num-
Der. All were in the same vein-opposi-
ton to Blaine. who was repeatedly de-
scribed as being an utterly unfit man to
become President.
ADOPTED.
A Committee on Resolutions was ap-
| pointed, with the Rev. DR.. William Hayes
| Ward as Chairman. They reported the
| following, which met with unanimous ap.
| proval:
Believing that the general policy of the
Republican party has hitherto proved con-
ducive to the welfare Of the country, re
| nevertheless are unwilling to vote for its
present candidate for the Presidency.
We think that his conduct in public life
| has been such as to cast grave doubts on
| his personal fitness for the office. He re-
| presents that class Of politicians in the
party which makes politics a trade. He
has given evidence that his ambition is TO
| exalt himself rather than to serve his
| country. He has proved himself willing
to barter public trusts for private gain.
| He has made himself the champion Of un-
| sound and chimerical financial schemes.
| He has involved himself with corrupt and
mercenary methods of conducting politi-
| cal movements. He has promulgated an
nnstatesmanlike and clustering foreign
policy. In short, he has proved himself
| the representative of selfish and short
sighted expedients instead Of honorable
and patriotic craftsmanship. Those rea-
sons are conclusive to forbid us to give
him our support.
We further hold that neither party con-
temSlates any radical change in the tariff
during the ensuing four years; and we
consider that all attempts to introduce
this subject as a prominent issue in this
campaign are mere subterfuges to divert
public attention from the real questions
at issue. The real issues are those OF hon
est administration and reform in the civil
service.
We therefore resolve to form a perma-
nent organization of Republicans in Es-
sex county opposed to the election OF
Blaine and Logan.
And be it further resolved, That a
committee of one hundred be appointed
by the chair to perfect the organization.
A resolution was also passed authorizing
the chairman to appoint an executive COM
mittee from the main committee, to con-
sist of FIVE persons from Newark and two
each from the outside cities and towns OF
| the county.
IN FAVOR OF CLEVELAND.
While it was deemed best not to make
any further declaration at present, the
meeting was practically in favor of Cleve,
land. 1--WE want to make our votes tell, "
said Chairman Wallis, land the way to do
hat ia TO vote for Cleveland"
This sentiment was generally CONQUERED
in. The organization now numbers Zoo
gentlemen, and it has declared that within
a few weeks ii would be increased in Essex
alone to /, 900 voters. The State Commit
tee is making arrangements to organize
| similarly in every county in the State:
There are 81 counties, and it is believed
that all over the State not less than l6,0Oo
Republicans will vote against Blame IN
