THE 1URx-orER IN JERSEY.
Sweeping Political Changes That Hav'
TRANSFORMED the Cranberry state.

From 1850 to 1896, period OF thirty-six
years, New Jersey had only ono Republican
Governor Marcus l.. Ward. elected in 1865.
From the foundation Of the Republican party
in 1855 until the present time. New jersey
has been steadily counted on as Democratic.
Though the Republicans In their first national
campaign went to New Jersey for . Nice-Presi-
Dental candidate. as they have done this year,
end put up William L. Dayton for the Office.
the Republican ticket In New Jersey was beat
on by $4,000 then. In 1860 the Republicans
were beaten In Now Jersey by 44v0 and in
1864 by 300, George b. Mcclellan. Jersey
man. being then tho Presidential candidate.
Gen. Mcclellan became Governor OF New
Jersey In 1878. being elected on tho Democratic
ticket.
With tho single exception OF 1872. when
there was q large detection of'old-line Jersey
Democrats from the Greeley and Brown cleo
toral ticket, Now Jersey remained steadily in
the Democratic column; but tho forces of
Democratic dislnteGration have been at work,
and little by little the breakdown OF tho fabric
OF the Democratic organization has been going
on until now tho twenty electoral votes Of
New Jersey are counted as confidently for
the RepuUlican column and Mckinley and Ho-
bart as are those OF Massachusetts or Yer
mont. Indeed, the political turnover from
tho lbomOCrhtS 10 inc ReDuDllCHnt IN now Jer-
sey has been SO complete that some OF tho
Democratic leaders OF tho State secm unable
to fully realize its dimensions. The State Sem
ate at Trenton Is composed Of twenty-on
members ono for each county In New Jersey,
though these counties vary very much In area
and In voting population.
Tho present Senate consists Ofscighteon Re-
publican and only three Democratic mem.
bers. ono from Hudson county. one from Hunt
ordon. and one from Warren Tho House OF
Assembly in Trenton in session last winter
seventeen
three :Rcpublican menbers, and the Ropubii-
can majority on Joint ballot in the last Lcgis-
lature was. thcrefore, more than twice as
large as tho entire Democratic membership
The Governor Of New Jersey is u Republican,
and so are the other chief state officers, with
tho exception of the Attorney General and
Secretary OF state. The terms Of these on
cers expire in April, 1897, and tho loss OF the
once of Secretary OF State, held by the vet
erRn Henry G. Kelsey for 80 many years that
he came to he accepted as u landmark of Do
mocracy in tho State. will be n sad blow 10
many OF the Democratic old timers who havo
been pointing to Mr.. Kelsey ms u ~ piCal Jersey
Democrat In Office. Now Jorsey's delegation
to the Fifty-fourth Congress was. for the first
time soldly Republican. and whatever hope
the II os. confident Jersey Democrats may have
hal "a reversing the verdict OF 1894 In the Con
gress election this year appears to havo
