entire Legislature. The candidates for
| Governor are the same as last year,
Governor JcEx d. LONG, Republican,
and px.Congressman CHARLES P.
/ Thomson, Democrat. The contest is
especially dull, even Tor an of year.

two hundred dollars for special sessions.
! The Democratic candidate for Governor
| Is K. w. JOHNSON, and the Republican,
/ f.. UurgARp. The issue OF 2 settle
ment of the repUdiated railroad bonds

in favor OF such a compromise as shall
be satisfactory to the creditors OF the
State, while his Republican opponent
was nominated by those in favor OF con-
tinued Repatriation.

NYJ rsey will elect Senators from
Camden. Essex, Gloucester, Monmouth,
