Correspondence of the journal,
NEWARK. n. j.. oct. /, 1889 | left my
home in Waldo county Aug. 18th. and two
days later after very pleasant journey found
myself once again in New jersey, shaking
hands with friends and talking on thcepolitcal
situation in this State. The Prolibition>ts are
carrying OF strong and able campaign this
fall. They are sowing Prohibition literature
Knee deep and organizing the party thoroughly
over the entire State. Their >tutl Of speakers,
however, is not so large As last year. The State
Central Committee made Il careful! selection of
their list Of speakers early in the campaign.
and meetings are now being held over the
State, addressed by these gentlemen. We
opened the campaign Aug. 10Th. and have since
been speaking to large indoor and outdoor ali-
dlences. The prospect for large Vote on the
9th Of November next, for Hon. George La
Monte our candidate for GoYernor-a man of
sterling worth, Christian manhood and unSeIti>h
patriotisnl--looks bright indeed givin. Us new
life and energy to battle ON in the grand strug-
gle for God, home and native land. Mr. La
Monte was formerly Democrat, but became a
Prohibitionist nine years ago Last fall he was
candidate for Congress in the fourth district
of New Jersey and received large vote.
spoke with him two weeks last year and can
say that he is the finest man in every way that
| have ever met
The Democrats have placed in nomination
for Governor eX-Goyernor Leon Albeit. | am
told by a personal friend that Mr.. Albeit is a
very able man, and one Of the hardest fighters
politically. in the State. He will pull on all the
strings he can possibly grasp. no doubt, to
place himself in the GuhernatOral chair. The
Republicans have nominated GEN. Edward
Burd Grub for Governor. He was a brave
general during the war, and is very popular
with the Grand Army boys. That he viii make
an excellent fight this fall for the Governor
ship there can be no question.
Although the people of New Jersey are paw
ing much attention to politics. still they ut
time to talk about the Worlds Fair in 1872.
and naturally they all want it held in New
ork. Truly, 10 city can offer the propor-
tions that New York can. 1t is the largest ii
from all parts of the world. This Will he the
