REPUBLICAN STATE COMMITTEE.

At the rooms of the Republican State Committee,
in the Fifth Avenue Hotel, the greater portion Of
yesterday spent in making preparations for the
commencement of the campaign work. The contest
promises to be sharp one at least on the repnbli
side. judging by the quantity of ammunition in
the form of political document circulars
already being stored at the headquarters
Of the committee Comparatively little busi-
ness was done, however. the committee
having only taken possession Of the four apart
ments they occupy on Saturday. During the day
several members of the Executive Committee
dropped in to how matters were progressing.

NOMINATION FOR STATE SENATOR IN DURLING-
TON COUNTY-AN IMPORTANT CONTEST.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE HERALD
TRENTON. Sept 15 1879.
Tho Burlington county Democratic Convention
ives held to-day at Mount Holly, and largely at
tended all the leading politicians OF the party being
present. Caleb B. Ridgway. the present incumbent.
was nominated for State Senator over W. W. Wood
ward, Of Bordentown, his only opponent. Tho
vote was very close The friends of the defeated
aspirant promised to do all they could to elect
Ridgway. and tho best Of feeling prevailed. The
contest between Ridgway and Deacon. the republic
can candidate. will be both bitter and animated and.
as tho parties pretty evenly divided. it is diff
cult to predict who will be successful.
IMPORTANT CONTEXT.
The contest has more than the usual elements en-
tering into it, as the railroad companies are each
striving to control the next Legislature. and the
winning candidate will have vote in 1881 to choose
a SUCCESSOR to Theodore +. Randolph in the United
Statas Senate his term expiring on the 4th of March
In that year Ex-Secretary Robescn wants tho posi-
tive honor and his friends working hard for him.
Those Of Senator Randolph are not idle either.
Hence the fight in Burlington will be one OF the
most interesting ever waged.

1t would appear. from information cleaned from
several members Of the TaInmany General Com

effect that Senators Barnum and Mcdonald are to act
peace commissioners between the Kelly and Rob

1t is thought that these gentlemen like all others
who have a stake In the future OF the democratic
party as national concern, will use their individual
offices to promote harmony but rs harmony can

harmony is to be awarded them.
The rumor that u formal conference to be held

oranges that grow on earth are exposed

grown there they have no seed, the
germ being in the apex Of the orange,
which resembles a navel more than
anything else, and hence Its name.
When eaten the point OF the orange is
cut off and the balance of the fruit is

few plants sent him direct from Ba-
