A SIGNIFICANT VICTORY.

Among all the Republican victories of
the year, and there has been long list
of them in many States, there has been
none more remarkable or significant
than that of Tuesday in Jersey City.
For years past that city has been over
whelmingly Democratic. and its city
government correspondingly corrupt.
Hudson county, in which Jersey City is
situated, has been relied upon to hold
New Jersey in the Democratic column,
and it has done it. In 1880 it gave q
Democratic majority of 1854, in 1884 it
gave 5,S25, and In 1888 it gave $3.50. In
every instance these majorities exceeded
the Democratic plurality in the State.
In 1888 Cleveland carried the State by
7,149, and Hudson county gave him
$780, Outside of Jersey City he lost the
State by about 1000.
In the election of Tuesday the Re-
publicans carried Jersey City by $40,
electing a Mayor by that plurality over
the Democratic candidate. The May
or'S term is five years. The result is
Waterloo for the Democracy. and, taken
in connection with the Indictment and
conviction of several Democratic polit-
zeal managers and the breaking up of
corrupt ring that has been ruling and
robbing the city, it seems to foreshadow
the end of Democratic rule In Jersey
City for some time to come. 1t places
New Jersey in the list of doubtful States
in the presidential election. if indeed it
does not make il safely Republican.

them for the foreign trade. Such pro-
vision prevails in Germany under the
protective tariff of that country. In
Hamburg n canal separates the free
manufacturing section from the rest of
the city, SO that goods taken from the
free portion into Germany proper must
pay the same duty as if imported from
another country. AS the buildings in
which such manufacturing would be
done would, of necessity. be separated
from the rest of the country, and so
hemmed in as to prevent smuggling,
such free factories would naturally be
located in coast cities. Thus far the
proposition is only talked of in limited
circles, but as the plan has worked sat
isfactorily in Germany there are those
who think well of it. There is little or
no probability that it will receive any at
tention during the present Congress.

THIS is tax-paying time, and in every
county in the State the treasurer's Office
is thronged with people anxious to avoid
the penalty by paying their taxes, or at
least the first installment. before the
third Monday in April. In this way
thousands and thousands of persons are
getting their first practical knowledge
of the operation of the new law in so
far as it affects themselves. In a great
majority of cases they find that their
taxes have been increased from 90 to 100
per cent. 1t does not require a news
paper article or a stump speech to tell a
man what hurts him when he finds his
taxes increased, and the average citizen
will keep on thinking about 1t until he
locates the responsibility where it be-

Prediction rs to the Democratic Ticket

One week more and the name of the man
who is to LEAD the Democratic State ticket
TO defeat this fall will be known. The
Democratic leaders are casting about for q
chairman of the convention. Senator Tur-
pie is talked of, but he is not altogether
satisfactory to the Cravings. 1t may be
that Grsy's friends. in case be Is snubbed

Senator. They will not therefore. look
favorably upon anything that will give
Senator Turpie further prominence. Be-
tween now and next Thursday there Will
be considerable caucuslng among the
friends of Gray for q man to present as
presiding officer.
The fight for tho head of the ticket still
wakes warm, with Claude Matthews in
the lead. He is. it seems, to capture the
plums which Shanklins Cleveland thunder
bolts shook down. The fruit plainly be-
longs by right to Sbanklin. hut Gray's
friends Will prevent that. Said a we'll
known Democrat to Journal reporter:
The State ticket will be Matthews and

Nye is the only one who has his districts

more strength before the conven-

will be the strongest for second place."

GENERAL RUSH OF CANDIDATES.

Matthews Broke the Ice and Now all the
Minor State Officers Are in Danger.
S. NJ. Briscoe. secretary of the Demo
cratic county committee of Randolph
county. yesterday announced himself as
candidate for the nomination of Secretary
of State. He is young man who. in busi-
ness. is a manufacturer. He will contest
the nomination with Capt w. r. Myers, of
Anderson.
The initiation of Claude Matthew's am
bItion. which cleared the field for aspir-
ants to be Secretary of State, has had an
other effect. What the other State officials.
to whom denominations were offered,
feared has come to pass. The am
bilious gentlemen whose names were
before the convention of 1850,
and who propose TO be candidates again in
1894 arc not willing to neglect this oppor-
tunity to keep their names before the party.
Thus there was woll-detined rumor yes
terday that Henry BerRhofI. of Fort Wayne.
is watching chance to present his claim
upon the convention for Treasurer of State.
The truth is. the fractional feeling in the
party IS SO strong that the ordinary party
courtesy which gives an incumbent a re-
nomipation Is under O strain that may snap.
