New York Oct. 25.—If the republi¬
cans carry New Jersey for Harrison and
Morton, i will 1 m* by the stillest kind of
a still hunt. While they are going
through all the motions of an actual
campaign, the actual and apparent effort
they are making is much less than in
former years, and the amount of confi¬
dence that they express in their ability
to carry the state is infinitesimal. They
say they are going to make a big effort,
and that they think they have some
chance, but of such a thing as real be¬
lief in their ability to win there is none
at all among men whose opinions go for
anything. Headquarters for the state
have this year been removed from the
convenient and crowded Taylor's hotel,
which has always been the political cen¬
tre for both parties in active campaigns,
and are set up in an office building sev¬
eral blocks away. Tlu:v are much larger
and more convenient for tire work than
they have ever been before, hut they are
out of the swim of the politicians, and
the clerks have a lonely time. An im¬
mense quantity of documents is being
hani. J, however, and Secretary Foster
is continually up to his ears in corres¬
pondence.
Insiders say the fact is that the na¬
tional committee has sat upon Jersey
aspirations a little earlier than usual this
year, and that accounts for the lack of
blow and bluster in tile campaign. Usu¬
ally the republican national committee
has kept the state committee hanging on
by its eyelids until a few days Ixfforo the
election, and has then shoved it overboard
with the official decision that it was
not worth while to spend any money in
Jersey that year. The Jersey republi¬
cans this year allege generally that they still have
hope, but it is understood that
the usual announcement has come early
in the campaign this time, and that the
Jersey men have noticed that they may
carry the state if they can, but that “the
condition of the committee's funds is
such that it does not feel justified in
assigning any portion That of them for vise in
New Jersey.” settles it so far as
ordinary politics are concerned, and New
Jersey would be as safe for (leveland
and Thurman as South Carolina, were
New Jersey a state where ordinary poli¬
tics and the returns on election night in¬
variably corresponded. But New Jersey
is not that kino of a state. It is the most
politically cantankerous commonwealth
in the combine of states, and those who
are intimately acquainted with its habits
are constantly expecting it to gooff side¬
ways or crab fashion without a mo¬
ment's notice. It always lias gone dem¬
ocratic in presidential majority elections has sometimes of recent
years, but the
been so narrow that it has taken the pol¬
iticians’ breaths away, and nobody who
is among the leaders in the state in either
party will profess any certainty as to the
outcome of the campaign until after the
votes are counted.
There are a number of complicating
circumstances this year besides the usual
crankiness of the state. When the gen¬
eral new election republicans laws were admitted passed and last
winter, the
the democrats alleged that they were
meant to help the republican vote. From
the vigor with which the democrats op¬
posed them, it was evident that they be¬
lieved they would accomplish their ob¬
ject. The registration law, which has
already begun to have its effect, has In Jer¬ not
produced any startling changes.
sey City, where it was to have had its
chief effect, the democrats claim now
that it is helping them more than it does
the republicans. In Newark the indica¬
tions seem to be that it has made the re¬
gistration less than might have been ex¬
pected. hut which party is to he helped
is not apparent. The other laws will
not go into effect till election day. The
edly tendency 1 of some of them will difficult; undoubt¬ but
m* to make fraud more
whether that, taking the whole state
over, will help the republicans, remains
to be seen. The law reducing tiie num¬
ber of hours during which the polls are
to what remain open, wiu undoubtedly some¬
reduce the vote, but which party
will gain by that is also uncertain. The
democrats pledge that they will have
plenty the cities of where time to it got is massed, their vote and out they in
do not care whether the full republican
vote in the scattered rural districts has
time to get to the [Mills or not.
The interest of the state in the tariff
question is stronger, probably, than that
of any other state in the union, and the
issue is a vital one to tlxe mass of voters,
but the effect upon this election will be
much less than might tie expected. From
the very fact that the tariff issue is so
vital a one in the state, the voters have
felt its pressure more quickly than in
other states. The danger that seems to
menace the other states now was seen by
workingmen of New Jersey four
years ago, because the pottery, trie iron
and the glass interests are among the

tariff lias been the greatest anil al¬
most the only source of gain to the re¬
publicans of New Jersey for eight years
Past. But its effect has been exhausted,
and the democrats have little to fear
from it this year. So far as the tariff
question is concerned, the democratic
party in New Jersey has been vaccinated
and is not afraid. The party had a pret¬
ty serious time for several years, and

It is even probable that many
former democratic voters will find their
way republican through the prohibition party into
ranks. This is a matter more
worthy posed. of notice than is generally sup¬
Dr. Ballard, the prohibition ad¬
vocate, but a republican now, used to
say that from statistics collected with
the utmost care from the prohibition
party organization, he knew that in New
Jersey it was composed of about 47 per
cent of former democrats and 53 per
cent of former republicans. The great
prohibition strongholds strength in the democratic
of Monmouth and Warren
counties, and also in democratic Hunt¬
erdon. accounts for this unusual forma¬
tion of the prohibition strength. In War¬
ren county the republican law has al¬
ready lieen adopted by a majority of
nearly 1,000. It is not unreasonable to
suppose that a percentage of the Demo¬
crats who voted for the law in
that special election will vote now
to sustain the party that made the law
and that will prevent its repeal. This
sentiment will be an all-important factor
in the election of members of the legis¬
lature, Its influence upon the national
tickets will be much less, but it may be
big another enough democratic to count. Monmouth county,
prohibition strong¬
hold, is the home of Gen. Fiske. the pro¬
hibition candidate for president. There,
if anywhere, the prohibitionists will hold
their own, and they may make gains.
Naturally the democrats will suffer most
by this. One man prohibition who, to a certain ex¬
tent, leads the sentiment of
the county, has openly returned to the

the other hand, he will lose the greater
part of the Irish vote that was cast for
Blaine, and that would have carried the
state for him but for the Burchard bomb¬
shell. There are still Irish-republican
organizations in Elizabethport and probable else¬
where in the state, but it is not
that they will be an important factor on
election day.

democratic majority in the legislature

of the hope of also controlling both

in both houses cannot re¬

TO NAVIGATE THE AIR.
The Campbell Atr Ship will Soon Make an
Ascent in New York.
New York, Oct. 25.— In about two
weeks Inventor Campbell's wonderful
air ship will make an ascent from the
polo grounds.
The ship complete consists of a balloon
and car. The balloon is ovoid, 42 feet
long, and 24 feet wide in its greatest
diameter. The balloon part will be filled
with hydrogen gas. It has a capacity of
18,000 cubic feet. Attached to the bal¬
loon from beneath, by means of a long
rod, is a boat-shaped car, 36 feet long
and 7 feet wide. Yesterday suspended a reporter
climbed into it as it hung
from the ceiling just as it will bang
from the balloon, only a trifle steadier
perhaps. Mounting a seat like that of a
bicycle, he worked the machinery by
means of a crank and treadles, which
latter are precisely like those of a bi¬
cycle. The meclmnical movement, too,
is a bicycle movement *’• the consisting ordinary riiuiti- of an
iron chain belt and
[dying gear wheels.
Directly beneath the car is a large fan
wheel eight feet in -diumter, and con¬
taining sixteen blades made of cedar.
By means of this the car is raised or
lowered at will. In the stern of the ship
is another wheel, also eight feet in di¬
ameter, placed at right angles with the
other, and containing two blades of sail
cloth. This acts as a propeller, and it

fan wheel below the car or there separately being le¬ at

rod which unites the balloon to the car
—and to posts smaller propeller wheels
to guide the vessel in connection with
the rudder, which, unlike rudders in
general, is attached to the fore part of
the With ship. the rudder in front, it said,

the ship's operator can steer in air more
readily. On the sides of the car are two
immovable wings, seventeen feet long,
and seven feet in their greatest width.
They arc made of silk stretched upon
rattan frames, and will serve to steady
the huge vessel us it sails through the
air. The car is made of light rods spruce
rails intertwined with rattan to
lend them strength, and the entire
weight of car and contents is supported and by
