FILLING POSITIONS or TRUST
Some Of the Candidates rer Omces In the STINT a
of New Jersey.

TRENTON, Jan. 2s.-Now that our great
Senatorial fight is over. the next contest will be
over filling vacancies in State Offices These
are mainly the State Comptroership, which ia
to bo filled in Joint meeting OF both Houses. tho
Clerkship Of the Supreme Court. and some of
the Common Pleas Judgcshlps and Prosecutor
ships OF the Pleas. whom tho Governor is TO
nominate and tho Senate confirm.
Ex-Statc Treasurer McMichael, OF Burlnr-
ton. is said to have tho inside track for tho
Comptrollorship. He has tho most and warm
est friends. Con. Bob Stockton a brother of tho
ex-senator. and once a Tronton manager for
Camden and Amboy stands next. Since tho
advent of the Pennsylvania Railroad. whose
lcaso OF the United Railroads no helped TO
bring about. he has been out Of a job. SO badly
does ho want ono that. 1t il said. the whole
Stockton influence. which WAS promised 10
Nj 'Phcrson for tho Senatorship. was changed
oyer TO Green. upon the, promise OF the State
House Ring that he should have It. but who
ever made the promise did not speak by tho
card for. on this question the State House Ring
is divided against itself. Ex-senator Lydecker

politics off the bench The Governors on
both sides have always done their part in this
way toward maintaining the repute OF the New
Jersey Judiciary. But. until the adoption OF
the Constitutional amendments. the Governors
had nothing to do with the Common Pleas
Judgeshps. which We're filed in Joint meeting
OF the Legislature. The consequence was that
q Republican majority has been made on the
bench in every circuit In the State since the
State went Republican in 1870. Hence while the
Judge presiding in the circuit has his way on
law points. he is often oycrrued on questions Of
sentence. or the appointment Of commissioners
