the Probabilities Of Election Day.
When called on Postmaster Samuel
D. Dickinson yesterday / found him as
usual, good natured and very busy. He
smiled when told thatI wanted to dis
cuss politics with him and de-
clared that Government officials
took no active part in politi-
cal warfare any longer. Then / smiled
and swallowed the rebuke. and asked
him what he had observed as an ordinary
citizen, who walks about the streets with
both eyes wide open. and with neither ear
will closed
as.Oh, that is different, said he. II do
not see how Wanser can be beaten. He
will get the entire vote OF his party and
not less than 1900 votes from the Demo-
Gratis. He will probably receive many
more. The Jeffersonian party will vote
for the Republican candidates or will not
vote st all. and which ever happens it
benefit Wanser.' y
"How about MeEwan for Congress ~
Tom win run well, md he has every
reason TO hope TO be elected You see we
can not base any conclusions on the vote
polled last fall, and besides the Ballot
Reform Law will make . great differ
encen
How many Republican Assemblynnen
do you think Will be elected ~
We will elect Smith in the Third;
Potts In the Fourth, IRWIN Ia the Sixth.
Schuitze Ia the Ninth and have a fair
fighting chance to elect Durrell in the
Fourth. In the Assembly districts this
year we cannot estimate majorities. for
we have no reliable iignres to work on,
those of last fall being useless But after

to base our calculations for the election
will be an honest one. 1t will be elosely
watched by the fourteen men at each
polling place. Beside the appointment of
United States supervisors aud mArshais
will have good effect. Onc-haH OF the
supervisors will be Repu bifcAns and the
other half regular Democrats. The mar
shals will be equally divided between the
Republicans and the 3e1fersoEians. ne
Board Of Election Officers will consist
Of four members and viii be nom partisan
and no challenged man will be permitted
to vote without the consent Of at least
three Of the Board. =
"Will the supervisors make personal
house to house canvassfn
Yes; and they will be assisted by fifty
skilled men, On election day the super
visors will know who every maa
is that Is entitled to vote,
and any attempt made &C illegal voting
will be promptly met BY an arrest. The
law only permits the government to pay
supervisors and marshals In Jersey City
and Hoboken, and any serving else
compensation from the govern
ment. The Executive Committee of
the Republican General Committee
of Hudson county provided for this at
the last meeting and will pay the ex-
pense OF employing supervisors at every
precinct outside of Jersey City and Bay
onne. For once / believe there will be
an honest election in this county. The
Ring will not dare to undertake fraud as
in the past, for detection will be certain
from our precautions and punishment

.sColonei, what do you think will be the
complexion of the next legislature
THE Senate will be Republican beyond
q doubt, and l believe we have good
chance to get the Lower House p"
do you think there will be full vote

81 Certainly do. for all people know the
issue, and beside every one will want to
see the working of the new law
Ex-MAYoR CoLLINsyCERTAIS.
/ interviewed Gilbert Collins yesterday
on the aspect of the campaign and the
probabilities of election day. Mr.. Col
Inns said:--
aAs to the congressional fight, Mr..
McEwan is very strong man, much
stronger than those who don't know him
might think. He was not put up to be
Knocked down. He is making a very vigor-
GUS campaign and is gaining strength
every day. think the Republicans
have seldom had 50 strong a ticket
as they now have. | have no reason TO
believe there is any treacherv in the
marty The work of the United States
Supervisors is OF immense practical
value. Mr.. Muirheid has the lists now
aud is at work on them. Men will
be rather chary Of committing
frauds with a United States
The Democrats made an unwfse move In
not printing the tickets for the Jefferson
ians. The strength of the Jeffersonians
might then have been tested Now they
viii probably aid the Republi-
cans. The only way to judge
Of the strength Of Wanser is
by his run for Surrogate. At that time
Assembly, think the usual Republican
majorlties will not be decreased and l
find no reason 10 doubt that we will re-
tain the Senate"

II have not taken an active part in poll
tics this year and may not know what is
being DONE II the Jeffersonians COM
mand the strength they claim TO have
and carry out their present plan OF voting
for the Republican candidates, believe
the county officers will be elected. do
not see how it can be otherwise.
the new election law, If prop
erlv managed and honest election
officers act, will prove very satisfactory
and will give us fair chance.

"We ought to carry the Third. Fifth,
Sixth and Ninth districts, certain, and
make strong fight in the Fourth The

Republicans"
