Under the above headlines the Phila-
delphia North american, on the l4th inst.
has the following special dispatch from 1T
Trenton correspondent, relative to ths
vigorous opening of the campaign of thu
State Republican League, under the pres
idency Of Hon. Jos. II. Gaskill:
TRENTON, March 12.-If opposition ia
the life of trade in a business sense, II
has likewise the same effect in politics.
Especially is this so in Jersey, where, az
a rule, defeat by fair means or foul crowns
Republican efforts, but each following
Campaign sees the party come up smiling,
determined and hopeful.
The State Republican League is already
in the field, and has come to stay until
the polls close on election day next No
vember. 1t commences its work by q
systematic reorganization of the old clubs
and the establishment of new ones
throughout the state. If possible, Presi
dent Gasklll proposes that every town
ship shall have club as nucleus of Re
publican organization. He is live man
is Mr.. Gaskiil. He was made president
of the State League last year to fill the
vacancy caused by the resignation of his
predecessor At the state convention OF
the League clubs last October, at Trenton,
he was elected on his own merits for the
full term, and from that time to the pres
ent he has been perfecting his plans for a
lively, aggressive campaign, and in my
Judgment be will have it. Full of vim
and vigor and push, self-reliant and fer
tile in resources, interchangeable in his eff
forts, he rises early and gets to work
when others go to bed. He resides in
Mount Holly and is one of the leading
members of the bar in Burlington county
He has selected as the secretary of the
League, Mr.. j. Matlack, a bright young
lawyer, also of Mount Holly, and Mr.. W.
j. Bruce, of Burlington, as corresponding
secretary. He is thus able to be in coE'
slant and easy communication with the
working forces of the headquarters, which
he has transferred from Newark to his
own quiet town. Here he can keep the
League work under his own eye.
This work is not of nature TO need
any brass band attachment, and the head
quarters are not intended as gathering
point for delegations or council meeting
Or crowds of any sort. They consist OF
plain room in the old hotel of the town
and plainly furnished. No money hal
been or will be spent for Wilton carpets
easy chairs or lounging couches. Some
home made shelving for documents anc
political literature, and racks for STATE
newspapers cover the walls, while an or
binary table desk and a nest Of pigeor
holes complete the equipment. The head
quarters are in charge Of Mr.. w. J. Bruce
OF Burlington, well known throughout the
State as a newspaper man Of long expert
ence.
One Of the most efficient means adopt
ed by President Gaskill for making the
League work practical and profitable, II
the appointment of State Organizer
whose duty it is to visit every county
township and school district in the State
to consult with the local club manage
ment, the county committee and others
to put new life in the old clubs and Z
establish new ones wherever possible
For this responsible position the STATE
League has appointed Hon. John Ulrich
OF Plainfield. whose acquainta nee through
out the State is extensive and widely
varied. Mr.. Ulrich is a member OF thu
Union county bar, and was member 0
the Assembly from that county few
years since. 1t is expected that be viii
give his entire time and attention to thl
necessary work of organization. He j
