JERSEY REPUBLICAN.
The Majority in the State is a Little Less
Than Ten Thousand This Fall.

Ihan Zen Thousand This Fall.
New Jersey went Republican Tues
day by about ten thousand plurality. 1t
was an off year, and the vote was light.
No such Republican pluralities were
looked for this year as were cast in 1895 or
1876. In 1895 Governor Griggs received
26,9OO votes more than Chancellor McGill,
and last year the State gave plurality of
1852 for the Republican Presidential
electors. Prior to 1893 the average Demo-
cratic plurality was 5000. Yesterday the
democrats elected five of the of the six
State Senators voted fer, and this gives
them membership of six in body of
twenty one gain Of four. The gains
were in Passaic. Middlesex, Burlington
and Sussex. Hunterdon, as usual elected
| a Democrat.
The Democrats made a desperate and
determined effort to elect their candidate
Tor Senator in Passaic, and they were
aided in this by the fact that there were
two Republican tickets in the field for
| Sherlff, which resulted in causing trouble
and disaffection in the Republican camp.
They succeeded in electing Braun for
Senator and Hopper for Sheriff.
| Out OF sixty Assemblymen, the Demo
Gratis elected twenty-six and the Republi-
cans thirty four. At the last session the
Democrats had only four Assemblymen.
The New Jersey Legislature for 1898,
