the exception of the members from the Third

of new men, but they are well known as among
the most capable and jealous political
workers in the State. There has been consider
able speculation for several days in relation to
the selection Of chairman, and number Of
gentlemen Of prominence, any ono of whom is
we'll qualified for the position, have been men
toned. OF persons outside the committee. Gen.
George B. Williams has been spoken
of more generally, probably, than any
announced that he had positively assured his
friends that he would not accept the position
Among the others prominently mentioned are
State Senator Huston, the member of the COM
mittee from the Sixth district, Joseph !. Irwin,
of Columbus, Dan. NJ. Ransdell, and General r.
S. Foster, of this city The Fifth district con-
vention instructed it's committee to vote for
Hon. A. G. Porter but he positively declines to
accept the position. The indications are that
Mr.. Huston will be selected. l.. T. Kitchener
will, doubtless, be reelected secretary but there
il some talk in favor of Charles H. McCarer the
assistant district attorney, for the position.
