VOLUME JERSEY JUBILANT. Democrats Confident of taining Possession. OUTLINING THE GREAT POLIT- CAL STRUGGLE. Republican!* Abandoning the Price Early )u tlic Fight-—Effect of the New Election Lawi an«l the Tar¬ iff Ihmiic — Newark. 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 most Tariff sensitive upon the tariff question. influence arguments exerted their them upon them four years ago and brought over by the hundreds into the re¬ The publican ranks, where they have stayed. 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 epidemic even yet might be in danger in a regular but of free trade smallpox, it does not mind anything so weak as tariff reform varioloid. The new phase put upon the liquor question by the republican local option m&h license legislation of last winter, ®“° falL helps it to puzzle the prophets this seems pretty certain that one Jesuit ™e prohibition of it will be to stop and the growth return of party, even to * small proportion of the prohibition votes to the republican ranks. Whether the democrats who consistently opposed the legislation will gain hack any of the votes doubtful. they have last to prohibition seems 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 republican The fold. element, which had considerable mugwump do with the a very part Cleveland to saving of the state for in '84, has substantially disapjicared. Harrison On will get nine-tenths of it this year. 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. The situation on the legislative and United States senatorial contest is dia¬ metrically opposite national from ticket. that in the The con¬ test over the re¬ publicans the United are as sure of the legislature the and States senator as democrats are of the question presidential electors. right The temperance comes down to business in the legislative tight, and so far as prospects of interference with republican success are concerned the prohibition clear party is between wiped out. the The issue is a one two parties. If the democrats control the legislature, the law of last winter will be repealed; if the republicans are in power the law will be retained. This makes a vote for a democratic candidate a vote to wipe out the local and re¬ stricted prohibition and republican that is now possible for to obtain, a vote a prohibition candidate is half a vote in the same direction. The prohibitionists are a pretty crazy set sometimes, but they are not too cranky situation to see which this. way lies their interest in a like On the other hand, the republicans will lose several members in Hudson and Es¬ sex counties through the opposition of the personal liberty advocates, but this opposition is not backed by the solid strength that it should have, be¬ cause even those; hopeful of getting a democratic majority in the legislature on joint ballot, admit the forlornness of the hope of also controlling both houses separately, owing to the majority that the republicans now have in sena¬ tors holding over. the democrats Without a majority in both houses cannot re¬ peal the law. The effort of the liquor men will, therefore, be chiefly confined to securing the election of anti-prohibi¬ tion senators with a view of controlling some future legislation. 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.

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 may he worked in connection with the fan wheel below the car or there separately being le¬ at the will of the operator, of machinery in vers to throw either set or out of gear. At the top of the car, fore and aft, are fastened to the balloon spleen—which name is given to the long 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, t» 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.

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 by a steel band cable eneircling_the wires, The car machinery four stout is a model of simplicty.

Yesterday their doctor owned up that it was yellow fever, and to-day a panic prevails. Several dozen families have moved to Sweetwater, eight miles out. and four car loads of goods have lieen sent there. Another death in South Jacksonville, Alexander Wood, greatly increased the fear.
