organization. Among those present were

Anent the claim that Rufus Blodgett is
seeking the Democratic nomination for
Governor on the head of being Mon
mouth County man, the Long Branch
Record says that Mr.. Blodsett is not gener-
ally considered Monmouth man, even by
| the Democrats of the township IN which he
| resides. Up to two or three years ago he
lived at Manchester, Ocean County, and
once represented Ocean in the Assembly.
He removed to Long Branch to become
| Superintendent of the New York and Long
Branch Railroad.

later day. 1t is to be held at New Bruins

Congressman Pidcock has been renomi
mated IN the teeth of all the fight made
| against him. Tom Kays. who assumed
the management Of the Newton Herald to
have weapon to beat him with, was him
self beaten on his own stamping ground.
and to man almost, all the Newton dele
gates favored Pidcock's denomination.

vile, Frank Ward, the "Bald Eagle"
Senator Mcbride, Rays and Henry s.

Gated, and drove his wife out of the house.

protested last Spring against this house
having license. General Fisk signed the
remonstrance. He, however, it is under

In an interview published in the Asbury
Park Journal John Y. Foster, of Newark, is
quoted as saying that the Republican State
Convention will probably adopt local
option plank in its platform; that such
plank would probably lose the Republicans
the Thirteenth Ward district in Essex, but
that it would gain them another district
lost last year; that in Hudson the Demo-
Gratis wouldn't carry more than three dis
tricts; that in Passaic the Republicans
might lose, but "take the State at large, we
would suffer no injury by declaring for
reap the benefit of the strong local option
element" He says, too, that it s.looks now
as though Congressman Green would be
the Democrat nominee. If the labor party
should put candidate in the field, Re-
publican victory would be almost certain.
