The Nomination OF a Republican vIrsu-
ally Left 20 the Democrats.
TRENTON, jan. l9-The proposition that
Il was policy Tor the Republican caucus to
make no senatorial nomination has gained
great strength, and Is likely 70 prevail.
A free interchange Of opinions among Lead
ing Republican members OF the Legislature
shows that Sewell men as well as Phelps mem
recognize the folly Of ofdividiug the Republican
half Of the legislature on a mere question oc
compliment
This allows Republicans In joint meeting
to vote for Sewell or Halsey or Hobart, or
any one except Phelps, who charaoteristicaliw
refuses TO let his name be used II. In ths
course Of the balloting, any Democratic votes
are cast for Republican candidate all the
Republican votes will be instantly massed
and thrown Tor tnat candidate Such a
course, it win be seen, gives the Republican
voters a chance TO concentrate Immediately
and without further consultation upon any
Republican to whom the Democracy mar
give this chance Of an election.
