HUDSON EBLAzE WITH ENTHUSIASM

The Sou tn Jersey members of the Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee who at
tended yesterda ay's meeting at Taylor's Ho-
tel could not fail to be impressed with the
bright outlook for Chancellor McGilFs cleo
ton in this part of the State. The signs of
Democratic unity and Republican demorali-
ization were so manifest that the encoura-
ging reports of the upstate members were
not needed to show the extraordinary
strength which the popular Democratic can
didate for Governor had developed among
all classes of voters.
REPORT OF PASSAIC.
The committee members of Passaic county
reported an open revolt among the Repub-
lican workingmen of that industrial section.
They knew SO much and have learned SO
much more about Mr., Griggs' record on la
Dor legislation that they have simply de-
serted the Republican party in disgust at its
selection of Mr.. Griggs, their avowed and
unconlpromising enemy, for the governor
ship nomination. Then the candidacy Of
Assemblyman Bullock, the bright and
manly young Republican representative
OF the laboring people who was SO fatty
turned down in his efforts for re-
nomination, under the party lash, has utter
ly confounded the Republican managers of
Passaic They are absolutely unable to help
themselves in the alarming predicament
which Mr. Bullock's determined stand has
placed them. They feel that he will be
elected beyond doubt; and, in view of the
clever and diplomatic move of the Demo-
Gratis in placing Mr.. Bullock on their ticket
as the eregularly-nominated candidate of the
party, the unwelcome conviction IS daily
growing on them that Bullock votes mean
McGill votes 1t is, in fact, the general ex-
pectation IN Passaic that MI. Griggs viii be
given a rebuke In his own county on election
aay that viii be the wettest kind Of a wet
blanket to his political aspirations.
NO GERMAN REPUBLICANS IN ESSEX.
The assurances given at the Democratic
headquarters as to the McGill sentiment IN
Essex County leaves no room Tor the
slightest doubt as to where the Dig
German vote of that populous county
will go on November 5. The re-
presentatives from Essex said that ex-
perience had taught them that the German
American voters were neither tricky, deceit
ful nor easily swayed by political stump
oratory. They have reasoned the SITUATION
out in their own way, and they are for Nc
Gill, irrespective of party. No amount OF
argument will alter their determination 20
vote for the Democratic gubernatorlal cam
didate Senator Smith who is quite popular
with the German voters, confidently expects
that the majority of 1885 given Kean, the
Republican candidate for Governor IN 1872,
will be reversed, and that the county ticket
will win by a safe and satisfactory ma JorIty.
These three big counties are in better shape,
from Democratic standpoint, than ever be-
fore in the political history of the State, and
to-day afford most encouraging Illustration
of the sentiment and situation all over the
northern part of the Sta te.
FOURTH DISTRICT ALL RIGHT.
The headquarters of the Democratic State
Committee at Taylor's hotel was full of busi-'
ness this morning. Visitors from all parts
of the State called, and all brought encour-
aging reports from their counties.
Among the visitors was eX-Congressnan
Johntson Cornish, of Washington, who put
to rest the reports which the Republicans
have been industriously circulating, that
the Democrats of the old Fourth Con-
gressional district were in bad shape
and that the counties of Warren, Hunterdon,
Somerset and Sussex, which comprise that
district, wonld collectively give McGlu
very small majority
He said that as far as his county (yVarren)
was concerned the Democratic cause was In
excellent shape. Largely attended meetings
were being held in every township in the
county, and the enthusiasm for McGlll was
running very high. Warren, he said, could
be relied upon to give the Chancellor at least
1000 majority.
Ex-Congressman Pidcock another caller.
corroborated all thar Mr.. Cornish said, and
added that the Democratic ticket was all
right in Hnnterdon Other gentlemen who
present said that not only could Hunterdon
give good majority for McGlll, but it
would elect both Assemblymen, defeating
Charles Reading. cousin OF the ever watch
ful ''Dicz' Reading, for whose election the
Republicans have abandoned everything
else.
Senator Keys denies the rumors about
Somerset and said that 1t was cohfdent Nc
Gill would receive majority of the votes.
