That is the Mere Trifie President Garkil
of the Republican League Wants.
Among the throng that went down the
Bay yesterday In the vain search for
Grub was Joseph Garkill, President of
the State League of Republican Clubs.
III conversation with aJERsEY CITY NEWS
reporter Mr.. Garkili said:--
Il have not fully formulated my plans
as yet. am in consultation with leading
Republicans in all parts Of the State anu
am waiting for the reJurn of such promi-
nent Republican leaders as General
Grub, General Seweli. Walter Phelps
and others who have been abroad, and for
the return OK others who have been off on
vacation. My purpose is to put myself
in communication with them as soon as
possible after their return, and get their
ideas as to how the leagues can be made
most effective aud then to carry their
ideas into execution. / shall know no
faction in the party, and will not allow
myself to be made tool of any indiyid-
ual or clique.
what want is to solidify the young
men of the party and try to make New
Jersey take her proper place in the col
umn of States. My idea of the best man.
ner of achieving this result is not to say
we want to know in the first place who is
to be benefited by an Office. Ny idea is
the principles of the Republican party be-
cause their principles will rebound to the
greatest good of all I am utterly iguor-
ant Of the present state of the organiza-
ton of the leagues, but expect to secure
much valuable assistance from Mr.. Mott,
the former President. He can tell me
what has been done, and what ought to
be done, and the mistakes to be avoided.
His experience will be invaluable TO me.
My own idea would to have at least one
active Republican club in every election
dis trict in the State, and in the cities as
can be sustdine There shonld be some
cohesion between the clubs that will en-
able the st ate executive officers TO build
these clubs as whole and concentrate
the entire force of the State League 10
any county or city where It may be
needed.
II have called the State Executive
Committee of our league together In
Trenton on Monday next and we will ar
range then for State convention to be
held PROBABLY the first or second week in
October. My idea is that it
should be held in some place that
will accommodate the northern and east
ern portion Of the State. / will be very
glad to receive suggestions from any Re-
publicans in regard to the conduct Of the
campaign

LONDON, Sept. 5, 1e9l--In politics in
this country the main feature consists Of
complications IN the irish party, arising
from the coming contest for the leader
ship. Mr.. Dillon is not obtaining a har-
monious acceptance by all the members
OF the. parliamentary party. as IL was
hoped he would, and it is expected that
Sexton, Timothy healy and William
O'Brien will each have urgent pnrtisans
presenting their claims as soon as the
point of definite decision is reached.
Each OF these leaders protests his reafli-
ness to abnegate all personal ambition
aud to take subordinate role, IL such
action shall prove to be necessary to the
interests of their country. Despite these
disclaimers, however, the Internal feuds
engaged in by the several factions are
rather active at present. and this situa-
ton greatly elates the ParnelIites. who
are eager to rejoice over anything which
shall injure Ireland and afford even the
smallest lighting chance for Mr.. Parnell
in the coming campaign.
Michael Davitt has consented to con-
test whatever constituency Parnelite
candidates may elect to stand for. ana
many of the home rulers took TO Dayitt
as the fittest leader for the party in its
future struggle for Ireland's welfare.

Not to be President hut TO Teach B.
Harrison a Lesson.
WASHINGTON. Sept 8. 1S9l.--The air is
full Of Blaine talk, started by sensa-
tional story in local paper yesterday. to
the effect that the Blaine boom is a part
Of the Harrison programme devised with
the consent Of MIR. Blaine to scare off
other candidates and to leave the field
clear for Harrison when Blaine shall
spring bis deelination on the Convention.
Information of the most trustworthy
character indicates the utter fallacy of
this theory. The Blaine boom is prema-
ture. but it is genuine. 1t is not inspired
by Mr.. Blaine nor by Mr.. Harrison, but
by some OF the formers over jealous
friends.
Mr. Blaine, the correspondent Is as
sured, will not be candidate under any
possible circumstances, but he is not so
far In accord with the Harrison pro-
gramme as he was before his Bar Harbor
Illness He is beginning TO feel hurt at
some things that have been said and done
by the friends Of the President since his
Illness, aud he may return TO Washington
determined to show the President that II
the latter gets the nomination 1t must be
on the same terms as in 1888. He is now
seriously considering the advisability OF
such a course.
That is all that can be said just now,
but that much is authentic.

successful results. The house that was

drawers, in which were number of arti-
cles of jewelry.
They both screamed and their screams

William Patten, young man who was
visiting at the house. The three hurried

vanishing across the back yard, The
other one, who had gone into the parlor
was cornered there and after a severe

The burglars had entered the house by

and completely ransacked the lower part
of the house and packed up every
thing Of value they found TO take with
them They left their bundle on the din
ing-room table and then went down cell
lar, where they helped themselves to a
substantial lunch. Had they been salts
fed with this. they might easily have es-
capped.
Officers Foster and Kennedy were
called, and the captured burglar WIS
taken to the Harrison police station aud
locked up. In the morning he refused to
talk. but finally he said he was

BANDITS AND RANGERS.
A Bloody Contest ON the Mexican

A Bloody Contest ON the Mexican
Frontier.
UvALDE, Tex, Sept. ., 1884, The train
robbers who were thought to have es-
capped across the Rio Grand River with q
sum said to be $4,000, which they se-
cured from the express car on the
Southern Pacific Railroad, were met
yesterday by body of rangers, who had
been In pursuit, and battle took place.
Reports received say that thirteen of the
robbers ana two rangers were killed and
several Of both sides were wounded. The
rangers followed what was thought to be
the course pursued by the robbers
through the mountain passes, and al
though they had at several times lost the
trail they pulled up on the robbers.
Thursday they discovered unmistak-
able evidence that the men were but a
few miles ahead of them. The pursuers
followed the bandits eagerly and made
better time. for after pushing on por-
tion of the night they were rewarded
Yesterday by falling in with the out
laws. The engagement was short, as the
bandits were outnumbered. They held
the best position, however, and stood
their ground until their dead and
wounded was so great that resistance
was impossible. and then the remainder
fed. Il is said that two men escaped.
