and the Republicans the Legislature.


Special isi'atch 10 TaE EVENING srsR
NEWARK. y. J.. Nov. 3.-The heat II the las.
week of the campaign has burned cut the tat
ycst;ses of cool calculation in the leaders Of the
parties, but il is possible 20 get a Pretty go
idea of the canvass nevertheless There Ia
never been a real, genuine effort on enc par, O.
the republicans TO carry the STATE zoe Harrison.
They thought about il and talked 1l,oul u h.
their state committee carly in the can.paig
and resolved to do something: but shon the
went TO the national committee thes received
very little encouragement. and a fortnight ago
il was practically agreed that il wa not worth
while to do any thing in particular. They have
been regrettng it since then. because later r.
ports of the situation have been of . charaeter
to encourage them If they had time aud money.
But il is too late nov. and the majority for
Cleveland will be enough 10 make the state
sure for him. Demo rats say il wlil be- 100
which is not large. considering the total pnil !.
somewhere above 10000. The republicans do
not think Cleveland will get more than 4.O0O
over Harrison. aud the present Indications arr
that they are right.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS.
Advices from trusted correspondents in tn
fourth congressional district indicats the elec-
tion of Voorhees,. republican. in place OF pid-
cock. democrat. Fowler. the regular demo
cratic nominee, has proved stronger than was
first supposed. and his vote viii be ~ larc, or
larger than that of Roe. The anti-PideOck sS.-
didate. III Voorhees, were a more energ,4
canvasser there would be no DOUBT a. has suN

democrat, in Hudson County. With 90 major
ity behind him he should win easily; but ne
was never very popular personally IN the dis
trict and h. change of front on tn Mills hill
cost him some friendships. Collins. tlie repulil

democrats. and il would now astOnisll no ons

ers in Hudson Is " Terry" Mcdonald. an Irisl
saloon-kecper and former democratic as-enbl,
man, who had n small Office az Washington unit
about four months ago when he waf displaced
by a gentleman whom Mr.. McDonsld calls

THE STRUGGLE FOR THE LEGIsI.ruRE
has been growing warmer. but it Is evident tho
democrats have not much hope OF carrying n.
Senator Mcpherson is at work. but tse demo-
Gratis have made fatal mistakes in mally OF their
nominations. The bitterest part of the contest
is really that bcts secn William Walter Phelps
and ex-senator Sewell The latter hiss the aid
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. which is a tre
mendous power, while Phelps has his own
large wealth 10 draw upon. He IL ahead ~

until the election in January il over.

York, and by at least 1900 majority. Ne show
this confidence in everything he says and In a.
