Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
NEWARK, N. J., Nov. 5.-There is no reason to
revise previous estimates Of the political situa-
tion in New Jersey. With fair weather to-mor-
row the largest vote ever cast in the state will
be polled, and there will be heavy increase in
the maiorities of the several counties. The
democrats have been putting in their best ef-
forts since last Thursday and claim to have
made the state sure beyond the shadow of q
doubt. They are probably right so far as Cleve-
land is concerned, as q careful independent
canvass indicates q majority of 1000 for the
democratic national ticket. The election of
McAdoo and Geissenheimer to Congress is as
sured, but the other five districts will probably
be republican. The state senate will be close
Six senators are to be chosen, and the republi-
cans will have to get three to control, while the
democrats need four. The republicans expect
to carry Passaic, Burlington and Cape May
counties, and have hopes of Middlesex, but
both Passaic and Cape May are in danger. The
to five majority,
GIVING THE REPUBLICANS TIE UNITED STATES
SENATOR
to be elected next January. The prohibition
vote will not exceed 1000, having been placated
by the high license local option legislation of
last winters republican legislature. There ia
no state ticket excepting the legislature and
only few county Offices. The democrats in
this county discovered on Saturday night that
the name Of E. A. Stevens one of their electors
had been omitted from their tickets, but the
mistake was remedied in time. Neither party
has much money to spend, and the campaign
has been run principally on local contributions,
with liberal aid from VIM. Walter Phelps and
Senator Mcpherson, the two leading senatorial
candidates on each side.
THE CONGRESSIONAL CONTESTS,
The principal interest is in the contests in
the four Congressional districts, where there
are two democratic candidates, who will divide
the democratic vote about equally and elect the
republican. The majorities on the national
tickets in the Congressional districts may fairly
be placed as follows: Republican--first district,
$500; second, 2OOO; fifth, 1000: sixth, 1.5OO.
Democratic-third district, 1850; fourth, 4, 500;
seventh, 5000, giving the democrats 5000,
which will probably be increased l,000 The
polls will close at 451 instead of T. as here
tofore, and returns from this state will conse-
quently be made much earlier than usual.

THE JAILERS SPEAK.
They Tell of the Trouble at the
First Precinct Station.


Jailers Kennedy and Hurley, of the
the First precinct station, unite in pro-
nouncing false the statements made in
reference to them by Mrs, Rice, the ma
iron, who was discharged by the COM
mission at the meeting held on Monday.
Said JailOr Kennedy last evening: In
the first place, neither | nor Mr.. Hurley
ever interfered in any way. shape or
manner with her duties as matrOn. and
in the second place l never locked up
woman until she had searched her her
self. never searched a woman since
the matrOn came, and never allowed
any men to be present when Mrs. Rice
was searching any one. The statement
of Mrs. Rice that JailOr Hurley or my
self ever used abusive language to her
is utterly false, and l defy anyone to
prove that l ever treated Mrs. Rice in
any but kind and pleasant manner.
the whole trouble was that she tried to
run everything connected with the sta
ton, and more than once inteTtered in
an unWarranted manner with my du-
ties
Jailer Hurley denied Mrs. Rice's
statements most emphatically, and most
particularly her charge that one of the
men had made indecent proposals to
a female prisoner. Il court the fullest
Investigation. said he. "Never. to nv
knowledge. has a woman been ill-used
or indecenty treated in this station. or
any other station in the city. Mrs. Rice
cannot truthfully say that she was i'll
used here, for she was not; and if she
had attended TO her duties and let other
peoples alone there never would have
been OQV trouble at al"

eral Notes.

Although 1t was desired by the Ex-
position management that yesterday,
being Minneapolis day, the attendance
should reach the high water mark, the
number of people who passed the turn
stiles did not exceed the average. The
competition between the exhibitors as
to who should receive the medal offered
by Harry Legg for the best display was
quite lively. Bouquets were given away
by several exhibitors, and there was a
general hustle. The voting on the
three portraits offered by l. E. Burt.
to be giving to the popular ministers of
the city, was also spirited. The votes
will be counted to-day.
In the evening a squad of sixteen
police, consisting of Patrolmen Schwab,
Russell, Shelley, Hellrich, Martins,
Quitem. Gustafson. Hurley, Calvin,
Garvin, Colin, Sullivan, Wade, Dues
haber and Void, gave drill under the
direction of Sergt. SeitZ. The men ac-
quilted themselves creditably and we're
enthusiastically received. Sergt. SeitZ

THE MARKET BOOMING.
The Price of Wheat Ascends--Ele.
vatOr Men Puzzled.


Northwestern Miller.
With most of the mills idle one-half
of last week, the -four output was, OF
course, light. The total production was
102, 100 barrels-averaging l7,0l7 barrels
daily-against 145, 400 barrels the pre-
vious week, and 157, 400 for the cores
ponding time in 1887. Eighteen of the
mills are under full Roadway this week,
and the output will be pretty large.
There are two mills, representing 1,4OOO
barrels capacity, idle now, but they will
be going a week from now. The flour
market is in very healthy and strong
condition. The Eastern trade, hav-
ing become convinced that pres
ent prices have some founda-
ton, is taking hold freely, and
in the past few days there have been
large sales. Old wheat flour promises
TO be in great demand, and Jobbers APP
pear to be in rush to secure supply.
The foreign market was rather active a
few days back, but it is more quiet at
present, though showing signs of grad
ually becoming stronger. The direct
exports of -four for last week were very
small. owing doubtless partly TO the
stopping of the mills, being 1920 bar
relS, against 40, 500 barrels the preced-
ing week. The condition of the wheat
crop in the North seems to show up even
worse than pictured by those taking the
most gloomy view of the frost damage,
and the elevator men are pulling their
brains as to just how they shall handle
the grain affected.
