WHAT REPUBLICANS EXPECT TO DO.
There was session of the Republican State Com
mtce of Ncw-Jesey the last but before election,
al the committee room IN the Fuller Building Jersey
CITY, Yesterday. General Grub. the candidate for
Governor who had come on from Camden, was present
and every district represented. In addition the
outer Offices were throngod with leading Republicans
from all over the State. The committee held Dlsl'
ness session of several hours duration. comparing
notes of the progress OF the campaign and making
the final arrangements for next Tuesday. The out
look was never more favorable" said Carrot A. Hobart
chairman of the committee. TO Tribune reporter after
the meeting had broken up. "We have been holdmS
enthusiastic meetings all NewJersey. and If we
arc not absolutely swamped by stuffed baotboxes IN
Hudson County. will cross the Hackensack with
ample majority elect General Grub. We shall bend
all our energies to secure fair election in HUDSON
County and stop fraudulent voting
In the afternoon General Grub dincd at the home
of Flavel Magee from whose house he drove 10 the
meetings he addressed in the evening. The Republican
candidate was in good spirits and more than hopeful oil
success.
The general drift of the talk about the committee
rooms was that Republican chances for getting
good working majority in the next legislature were
never better. The outrageous gcrrymandering' OF
the districts by the last Legislature likely to insult
in advantage TO the Republicans. The last Legislature
stood as follows senate-Democrats IL, Republicans
10; Accomplishments 80, Republicans %; Demo
cratic majority joint ballot, 5. This year tho
Republicans almost certain to make 1t look liko
this: Senate-Repubican L. Democrats Assembly
Republicans 80. Democrats os Republican majority
on Joint ballot. 7. There are plenty OF
chances in favor of their doing better
than this, but this much is almost assured. Last
year the Democrats had nine Assemblymen from
Hudson County. This year the Republicans count
on getting three OF the ten members Of the lower
| and They
count on a gain OF two Asscmblymcn in Passac
County and one in Warren. In the Senate they look
for one scat gained in Morris County and another In
Cumberland.
In Hudson County the outlook for the Fusion
ticket grows brlghtr every day. The Republican ana
Jefersonan County Committees. in adjoining rooms
in the Weldon Building, No. 76 Montgomery are
hard at work on the registry lists, and their work
will tell on election day. The normal Dcmocfauc
majority in Hudson County with all the outrageous
frauds practsed by the ring, is not ABOVE 0''OO'
The JefersOnians anti-rinS Democrats count
confidently on strength of al least 1000 vo'es III
the county, In two election districts care u estimate
gives them 600 votes. If tlsse 5000 voters or even
tho greater part Of hem materalize at tho polls The
