Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAB:
TRENTON, N. j., october 26-Honors VIII be easy
In the congressional districts OF New Jersey at the
election next month, unless signs fail The re-
publIcans expect TO gain district, and the demo
Gratis expect to gain one also, and It looks as II
both were justified. There are usually four re-
publican and three democratic members from
New Jersey. The frst district which includes
Camden and the lower part Of the state, is
strongly republican, and will elect Christopher
Bergen, the candidate Of that party, In place Of
Mr.. Hires, who gave way under the two term
rule. The second district, including Trenton. viii
return Congressman Buchanan, rep, with an in
creased majority, II anything. In the third dis
trict John Kean, IT,, is again the republican
candidate. The district Is clearly democratic,
and Mr.. Kean has won In the past only by
extraordinary effort and by the appropriately OF
the bosses VINO controlled the democratic notnina-
ton AS In Washington, SO In New Jersey, MI.
kean has much personal popularity and Is a social
power, which has helped him In his contestA This

party vote. Mr.. Geissenhainer, the democratic
Candidate Is rich man, residing In Freenoid, and
has never been prominent In politics before. His
German name Is somewhat misleading as he was
born In this country, as was his father the latter
being the son OF Lutheran minister. The district
gave Cleveland majority OF 400 in 1884, and II
Is an almost impossible task for Mr. Kean 10 over
come 10 under existing circumstances. This Is the
democratic gain that Is anticipated
Tine republican gain Is In the adjoining district,
the fourth, represented this year Dy Mr.. Pidcock.
II has a normal democratic majority OF anywhere
from Z, 500 10 4,50O. Mr.. PiocOck, In 1856, had
only l23 He has been holly opposed for years by
leading members OF his own party. The difference
cost the democrats state senator In 1885, and II
has been working capital for the republicans for
Pl0COck
ington he concluded not 10 run himself, and Sc
lected Samuel Fowler, OF Sussex county, as his
Candidate. II was an unfortunate choice. The
anti-Pdcock men rallied aud selected Charles ].
Roe, so Of sussex, as their Candidate. When the
convention met Mr.. Pidcock used his power,
which Is not small, and nominated Fowler. The
Roe delegates Dolted, nominated their man, who
Is a strong and respectable citizen, and the Tight
has been waging furiously ever since. About
half the democratic papers support each candi-
date, and neither side mlnces words. lille,
the republicans have nominated Mr.. Newton voor-
thoroughly respected II not an aggressive man.
III the republicans poll anything like their full
vote Mr. Voorhees, will he elected and IL Is an open
question whether Roe or Fowler Will get the most
democratic votes. The democratic national ticket
Will not suffer, but the democrats may lose q
state senator. The republican leaders have, In
would rather see republican state senator elected
than a republican Congressman, but MIR. voorhees,
Is too fair man 10 sunni 10 trading.
In the NTH district the place OF William Walter
Phelps viii be filled by Charles ID. Beckwfth, the
goOd-natured and popular mayor OF Paterson
The district Is Overwhelmipgly republican, and
the democratic Candidate, Malon Hoaglahd, is
little known and without exceptional strength
Tue sixth district will probably return Repre,en-
tative Lehloach. The district gave Blaine a ma

publican ticRet under ordinary circumstances.
The democratic Candidate Is the present mayor OF
Newark, Joseph Emmett Haynes, who Is cele-
brated for his love for vetoes pcnics and honesty
