REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.
Trenton, N j., April 22.-The Democratic State
Convention promises to be interesting This has not
been the indication heretofore, the able leadership OF
the able leaders having apparently fixed things Sc
perfectly as to leave no duty for the convention
Now there are moro promising prospects. Senator
Blodgett Is In the field and Senator Mcpherson is out

interests that not accustomed to submit tamely
Ex-Governor Albeit is said to be the person who is
managing the affairs Of tho party in the selection OF
delegates, and he is held responsible for tho plan
which has been adopted The delegates at-large arc
TO be, according to this arrangement, Governor
Green, Ex-Governor Albeit, Senator Bodgett and
Caleb S. Rdgeway.
This scheme gives Essex County no representative,
q fact that will cause trouble, although the bosses
Of the county have objection, It is understood.
The remarkable feature Of the plan is the apparent
disposition Of the Democratic leaders to placste SEN
ator Blodgett. There has undoubtedly been a good
deal Of anxiety Mr.. Bodgett. II is considerably
less than It week ago, before he voted with the
Democrats on the division Of Dakota. but there must
remain feeling OF doubt concerning a man who was
elected to the Senate by Republican votes and who is
said to have given solemn pledges that he would as
sist the Republican party IN the organization Of the
Senate and in the protective tariff policy.
Whether Mr.. Blodgett means to carry out his in
uepcndent plan OF action or whether he TO come
to an arrangement with the regulars of his party, is
now very interesting question.
The arrangements for the Republican state Conven-
non are about completed. The delegates will so un-
instructed, as matter OF course, but the sentiment
OF tho party In the State IS positively for the nomi
nation OF Mr. Blaine that there is little doubt to
"hat The delegates will do when they get to Chicago,
unless the situation changes materially meanwhile.
The right Of Governor Green to appoint prosecutors
and judges after the session Of the Legislature when
the office Is vacant by of the rejection Of the
Governors nominees, will be tested in tho courts

mated the newspapers which are to publish the laws

oDe-thrd greater than year ago, and the Governor
has still several TO act upon. He has thirty days
after the session to consider the bills left In his
hands, and usually occupies the whole of IL.
