The two exceptions are the Jersey City and Newark
district conventions. The former will lie held to-
morrow the latter Tuesday.
There Is practically no divergence OF opinion among
tle Republicans Of the State as 10 the duty OF the
National Convention. The retirement OF Mr. Blaine
was accepted nnal and there no further doubt
os "a the denomination of Mr. Harrison. Probably the
situation In NewJersey rs not peculiar but 1t NAV be
worth mentioning that the President seems 10 be
stronger with the people than With the polluclans
Ills selections for local Offices have not always been
popular; but it would appear from many Indications
that the average Jerseyman knows and cares com
naratvey little about these. whereas I've has read ana
bas vast admiration for the Presidents speeches,
and is satisfied with all he knows of the Aeministra-
tioo The four delegates at large will probably be
Garrett A. Hobart, George A. Hasey. william D.

so has General Sewell. but both expect to be here
on Tuesday The convention will adopt strong plat
form against silver imitation, for protective tai1f'
acainst recent Democratic acts and In vigorous ao
proval Of President Harrison and secretary Blame IL
has been suggested by of the many warm adj
usrers Of Secretary Tracy in NewJersey that special
recognition OF the great work done by the Navy De-
partment in this Administration wvuM be wise
plank in the platform.
The state Committee will ask the convention TO take
action for It's reorganization and IL is understood that
the designations OF the entire committee Will be offered
for that purpose. The object is to get committee
in shape for work before the convention to nominate
q Governor meets when a new committee would be
selected In any case. The committee 10 nominate
Governor is held late TO give the new committee
time 10 arrange campaign details satisfactorily There
IS moreover a general desire TO see tho committee
organized on a rather different basis, with wiocr
represepta alton and more young blood. Half dozen
plans have been suggested, and Il consultation on
the matter will probably be held at the Trenton
House on Tuesday night Many OF the delegates Will
he in attendapcc then. A.,
Talk OF the state campaign Is general and the
contest by the Republicans promises 70 show NOR
energy than any New Jersey has seen since 1851

The water has been flowing into the city pipes FOR
several DAYS and the difference has been most crate

great blessing. The city is prosperous now, ana Is
anxious TO have people know 1t.
