TAE NEW.JERSEY SENATE.

HrrUmIoAN CANDIDATES MENTIONED FOR THE
PRESIDENCY.
TRENTON, Nov. 2s.-Since the recount in
salem has left the Senate safe under Republican control
new interest has been given to the question Who Is to
he President !" The majority is composed Of unusually
strong men, and the interests OF the State would be In
capable hands If any OF them was called TO preside
over the Senate. Mr. Vail ard Mr. Appegate, who are
succeeded by Democrats will both be missed but the
new Republican members men OF positive force, so
that there will be falling off from the high standard Of
last year.
Mr. Youngbood, Of Morris now IN the fifth year OF his
service has Senator longer than any OF the others
now spoken OF prominently as candidates. Mr. Young

pubcasm, for industry and watchfuness as legisla-

ing debaer but does not lack steadess and discretion
aud he of the controlling forces In the stormy
session last winter senator Gardner has already pre-
sided with ability but II is understood that he s not
a candidate now.
The Democrats are circulating absurd story thai
