The Republican State Committee has
had a food of demands from South jer-
sey for speakers of national lame, ana
though the committee has no shadow OF
a doubt of the result in the tier eli
counties, it has assigned a number of
famous speakers to Camden, Gloucester,
Salem, Cumberland and Cape May Coun-
ties for a series of big meetings in the
campaign of education. The meetings
will begin tonight in Camden, and the
present week will see life and vigor ard
dash infused into the canvass. The eager
ness of the voters to hear the issues dis
cussed from the platform seems to be
only aecentuated by the liberal distribu-
ton Of literature. The committee has sent
thousands and thousands of campaign
documents. while their work has been
ably supplemented by that of the several
county committees, SO that nothing is be-

~enlighten them on the questions at issue.

Committee of Camden, which is doing
such valiant service for honest money.
As the Court House will probably be too
small for the crowds, If the weather IS
