talked freely.

The Republican Situation.

The situation of the Republican
party in this conjuncture shows the
effect of a little resolute uprightness
on the part of the Democracy. The
present indications are hat the Re-
publican party will make no nomina-
ton whatever for Mayor of Jersey
City. If the Eoening Journals
scheme of launching Mr.. Otto Grouse
or some other nonentity upon the
voters as a citizens; candidate goes
through, it is possible the Republican
Convention may endorse him pro
forma. Otherwise, it is likely Allan
l.. McDermott will have a walk-over
for the high office to which the uni
versal sentiment of the people calls
him.
1t is not only the sense of impos-
sibility of defeating Mr.. McDermott
that deters Republicans of any stand
ing from accepting a nomination to
run against him. There are doubt
less men in the Republican party of
sufficient public spirit to take up even
a hopeless fight if any principle were
to be asserted or any good purpose
served. But every honest man in the
Republican party feels that not only
would his fight be hopeless but posi-
lively mischievous as against the adj
mirable candidate of the Democracy.
H.. - loock fxu0 xya,ro rrnnd Pnnnh.
licans have been calling OF the De-
mocracy to nominate Mr.. McDermott
for Mayor, and they are not going to
stultify themselves by opposing him
now.
AS for Mr.. Crouse-well, he is a
very nice sort of a man. honest enough
no doubt and not without ability.
But the idea of nominating him for
Mayor on any ticket against the great
Democratic chieftain, is something
like pitting Tom Thumb against John
L. Sullivan. If Mr.. Grouse accepts
the Journals nomination and gets a
Republican endorsement besides, he
may possibly poll two thousand votes
in the whole city, certainly not more.
In the Allen egman campaign
last year, the total vote of the city
was Is, 1857. We believe it would be
about 16, 200 in a McDermott-C Grouse
contest. McDermott would get the
solid Democratic support of the city,
or about IA, 900 votes. Grouse would
get the votes of a few personal friends,
of as many members of the Journal
staff as are amenable to bulldozing
and OF the Republican Office holders
and committeeman.
We wonder if Mr.. Grouse will prove
crazy enough to commit hari-kari for
the pleasure of Major Pangborn,
MI. Joey Dear and the Ex-Rev. Po-
liceman Benson.
