What the Politicians Of the State Find TO
Talk About.
Speaking of the complexion of the Senate
in the next Legislature, the Passaic Nea1s
says ssThe Republicans will have some
difficulty in holding Atlantic and Ocean,
and Cumberland is not entirely safe, by
any means. On the other hand, the Dem
ocrats may lose Mercer"
We know that Congressman Green
will accept the Democratic nomination if
it is rendered to him, but he will not prob
ably seek it. He is Indifferent between the
nomination for Governor and that for
Congressman.
Tho State Gazette is urging ex-Congress-
man B. f. Harvey, of Warren, for the Re-
publican gubernatorial nomination. But
the Morris Jerseynaa8 doubts if he Will ac-
cept.
The report that the Camden Post has
been purchased by Robson and Dudley as
an anti Sewell organ is denied. But Dud-
ley wants to say that General Sewell, all
the same, sold out the Republican party
with his free ship bill, and his advocacy Of
Fitz John Porters restoration.
John I. Blair, the richest man in New
Jersey, is said to sympathize with the Pro-
hibitionists, and it is not unlikely that he
will be their candidate for United States
Senator.
Hon. Gottfried Kruger, of Newark, is
likely to be the Democratic candidate for
Congress in the Sixth District.
It is said that an attempt was made to
effect an arrangement with the Baltimore
Il Ohio road in favor of General Sewell's
reelection, and that it failed.
The Paterson Guardian thinks that if
s'Heze" Smith of Burlington, should be-
come candidate for United States Sena-
tor, he ought to command the votes of the
Republicans who represents Burlington in
the State Senate.
Attorney-General Garland has decided,
on the score of economy, not to allow Uni
ted States Distrlct-Attorney Lipplncott to
have an assistant.
Thomas V. Gator was taken i'll suddenly
at his Office in New York, the other day,
and had to be removed TO his home IN
Morristown.
Something of the o1d-time simplicity is
to mark Gen. Flskes Prohibition mass
meetings. To that held in Woodside the
other day, the country folk took their
wives and babies and the women their
knitting and lunch baskets along with
them, and made the meeting grounds the
scene OF regular pic-nicking.
The state of affairs in this district puts
Congressman Hires in an uncomfortable
position. He cannot afford to pose as a
special friend of Senator Seweil, neither
can he afford TO JON openly with the OPP
position. He ought to be strong enough to
look with indifference upon the faction
fight, but we are afraid that if the fight
gets warmer, he will be forced to one side
or the other. Salem Sunbeam.
1t is intimated that perhaps the Republi
cans will let the gubernatorial nomination
go by default; that they will give Fiske a
quiet support, and make deals with the
Prohibitionists in the Assembly and Sena-
torial districts.
In an interview published in the Phila-
delphia Press yesterday, Gen. Sewell does
not pronounce in favor of the endorsement
of Gen. Fisk's by the Republicans. He
favors letting the thing drift till Republi-
can sentiment has been fixed. The Pro-
hibition question, he adds, is not q new
one in State politics. Every year the Re-
publican candidates have had to make their
| fight with Prohibition candidates in the
| field all over the State. He can't see that
General Fisks endorsement by the Repub-
licans would make any great difference in
the Assembly contests.
| Now that the Prohibitionists have begun
the fight, their opponents are Beginning to
| put their forces in battle array. The mem
| bers OF the New Jersey Turnverein are OPP
posed to the methods of the Prohibition
lists. The membership of the TURNER
Elm in this State numbers about 10000,
! and they propose to exert all their per-
sonal and social influence against the Pro-
hibition movement. The semiannual
meeting of the New Jersey District was
held in Paterson on Sunday last. Adolph
! Spiller, of this city, presided. The Com
mittee on District and Bund were notified
to call the attention of the delegates from
every Bund to the action of the Prohibi-
! tionists. They were also told to agitate
| the Prohibition question in all the socie-
| cites, and if necessary to organize for the
protection of personal liberty. The Sec
rotary of the district was ordered to cor
respond with all German societies not con-
nected with the Turnverein, and ask their
| cooperation in the defeat of the Prohibi-
ton movement. Several members of the
| TurnveTein who were seen were all unani-
Nous in asserting that It was not the inten-
ton of the Turnyerein to mix itself up in
politics, but that the Prohibition party, if
successful, would interfere with the per-
sonal privileges of every member of the
Turnyerein. They all say that they are
bound to do what they can to defeat the
movement. Neeodrk Neacs.
