Vow that Mr.. Young has withdrawn
pm the Democratic Gubernatorial con-
will any one be tempted to enter the
against Ex-Governor Leon Albeit?
sre is some talk of Ben Lee, the good
ured Clerk of the State Supreme
lrt, but there always is talk of him
but election times. and 1t seems to
be no unusual significance now. Elk
lncellor Runyon has been mentioned,
he was met with an emphatic 'tNo,
k you," the moment he offered him
for political honors, and he is out of
race. There may have been times

his loyalty to the Ex-Governor is

Baker, OF cumberland, may hope to have
following from the local option counties
bout him, and the breezes that come
rom Morris sometimes whisper the name
i Gus Cutler, but the whisper Is as soft
s his candidacyis lacking in force and
ytrength. There is no prospect of the ele-
pents that stood at Mr.. Young's back
being braced behind another object, and
5he foregone conclusion is that Leon Alb
petit will be the nominee of the Conven-
zion.

The situation has been SO much simpli-
Med that some of Mr.. Abbett's friends are
oven reckless enough to suggest the advis-
ability OF allowing United States Senator

The Republicans do not intend to let
