TO no Editor Of The Tribune,
| SIR: There is feeling among our most sa-
gacious politicians that the candidate who will win the
Gubernatora race not yet been brought out or at
least that Is for whom special effort has been
made That there is some ground for this impression
seems evident the fact that the political gauge does
not show anything like enthusiastic pressure for those
Who have already entered This lack Of
which in another form Is but want OF con-
dence IN the entire fitness OF those whose names have
prominently put forward for the position Is
more than likely result 10 the selection OF some one
who not been much talked Of for the Office Should
matters take this shape there is strong probability
that either the Hon. Geo. A. Hasey OF Newark, W. +.
Mapee or Amos Clark IT, OF Elizabeth, E. W. Runyon or
Ellston Marsh Of PaiL.eld L. d. Jarrard OF New
Brunswick may receive the support of the Convention
There are many Of our prominent men, as we'll as our
best Journalists who think that the younger and grow
ing element OF the party will best be aroused to activity
the veteran the soldier vote secured and the coored
vote brought fully into line by the nomination OF one
who in addition 10 other qualifications, mas good war
record Certain is that our success In 1865 was mainly
due the life and enthusiasm the military element gave
TO the and other States In the present contest
making their chances OF success more sure Dy ane
nomination Of candidates who possess tins important
element OF strength or this class, would mention the
OF DR.. r. II. Gilbert OF Union County whose aa
vera important positions which he held during the
war an enviable distinction: He has worked hard i9r
nounced one the ablest delivered during the canvass
With fine literary and scientific attanments he ID GOOD
speaker, and s man OF sterling integrity we mean 10
