TRYING TO WIN THE STATE.
NEw.JERSEY REPUBLICANS MAKE A GAL
LIANT FIGHT.
conn WORK OF THE COUNTY LEAGUES-LoCAL
AND DISTRICT ORGANIZATIONS FULL OF
pUrCK AND ENERGY.

counties las. week In the way OF organization,
something stupcndous In seventeen Ncw-Jersey
counties the County Leagues formed by the state Re-
publican League are conducting the work with vgcr
that nevcr slackens. Every league has campaign
duties to perform and the report has yet TO be made
~ comfy organization where the work has not been
effective In the three or four counties where the
state League has not formed local or central organiza
ton the work has not been thoroughly advanced as
" others but in a few days every county will have its
oa re officers fully occupied with the great task set
before them of carrying NcwJorsey for Harrison and
Reid and kean.
one of the most effective campaign documents issued
by the state Republican League last week Is an
Illuminated map of New-Jersey, as 1t was gerry
wandered by the Democrats This map shows how
cities, towns and bOroughs were jumblcd up sep
arated from other towns and cities in the same county.
ard set down in some Congress district where the
election Of a Democratic candidate was thus made pos
sble The appearance of the map Is more vari-
colored and strange than was Joscphs coat. The
next illustrated campaign document to be issued by
the State League will present in clear, simple man
ner the facts about the rise in the price OF coal and
the cause OF the advance. The part the Democratic
LEGISLATURE took In the Reading coal combine deal will
be fully exposed
II is not probable that the Republican clubs will
meet IN convention during this campaign. Every club
in the State busy with work in its own locality
to attend such convention, and the business meeting
the energies of the young Republicans not directed
to such important duties those now on hand. John
kcan IT, spares effort II do all that one man can do
10 advance the ticket He evidently proposes TO fulfil
his promise at the state Convention to visit in person
the principal places in every NewJerscy county, and
demonstrates by his actions that he is in the fight
10 win. The outlook is cheerful he says, and with
the state issues which the Republicans have forced
before the people he thinks the victory cannot may
be won.
Essex County leaders point with pardonable pride
10 the seventy Republican clubs that are now work
Ing for the Protection ticket. This IS the strongest
league in the State, while Hudson comes second. wan
fifty we'll organzed clubs.
The enthusiasm for Harrison and Reid in Somerset
