TRENTON, July 90. 1s90.-The report
that Judge Edward T. Green. of the
United States District Court. had not
been confirmed by the United States SEN
ate because no ID slated for q better ap-
pointment, is untrue in part. He was
confirmed by the Senate shortly after his
appointment. He is, however, slated for
q Circuit Court Judgeship, which Is TO DO
a stepping stone to the United States Su-
sreme Court bench. Judge William Nc
Kenua's circuit is in Eastern Pennsylva-
MIA, Delaware and New Jersey. 1t is
Thought that he can be induced to go on
the retired list, being now over seventy
years Of age and gradually growing Zee
BILE. The idea is to appoint Judge Green
his successor, not SO much because OF the
difference of salary, which is an increase
of So. 900 q year, but because it is the ulti-
mate hope of General Sewell and Presi-
lent Harrison to see Judge Green a mem
Der of the United States bench. He is
practically slated to be Justice Bradley'S
successor when he retires. 1t has never
been known to appoint a District Court
Judge to that elevated position, and that
Is the reason why Judge Mckenna's err
mine Is desired, SO that Judge Green may
wear it for a reasonable time and go up a
step higher In judicial distinction.
The United States Court Clerkship, q
berth now occupied Of 4. Lindsey Rowe,
has been u bone of contention for some
time, and owing to the contest no change
was made. 1t is understood that no up
pointment will be made. Lindsey Rowe
was placed in the Office by the late Judge
Nixon. After his death it was understood
hat the new Judge would have the right
to name his successor. There were several
ann1fan y 10 orn,nY1 fhnrn CnnQfnr (NnnPOn
Cranmer, of Ocean County; Barker Gum
mere, Jr., and Editor William Cloke, of
The State Gazette. The latter was in the
lead, having the support OF General w.
]. Sewel. After getting the prize almost
within his grasp. he discovered that he
would be a greater man as editor of he
State Gazette than as a court clerk, SO he
announced that he was out of the race.
Senator Cranmer has been promised he
nomination to Congress, sooner or later,
and he let go. Lindsey Rowe's friends
went to work and succeeded in getting
she scheme to GUST him checked, their
principal argument being that in no dis
.rict in the United States was it the Gus
.om to change clerks when Judges re-
tired or died. To do SO in this State would
be- to establish a dangerous precedent.
The current opinion is that Lindsey
Rowe will remain for the present, but

GARDENERS sANCTUM IN H PINES.
Senator John j. Gardner, who, as the
Republican leader of the Senate, is an inn
portant factor in politics, is rarely heard
Of these torrid days. Since the close of
the Hudson county investigation his
name is rarely seen in the newspapers. AT
present he is hiding his talents under an
editorial bushel. He is still discussing
State topics as the anonymous editor of
The Mays Landing Record, a little paper
published at the county seat of Atlantic
county. In double loaded paragraphs he
oroclaims his contempt for Governor Abb
0ett n the whole Democratic party. In
4 recent issue he stated the fact that Gov
rho Albeit would not consent to the
appointment of Prot. Gates, of Rutgers
College, to be State G~eologist because the
all president is a "Mugwump." He
scores the Governor IN the extravaganza
of the Sea Girt camp by this allusion:-
THE discipline at Sea Girt for this sea-
son might have been dispensed with and
the State could very well have dispensed
with an order that carries with it SO
great a financial obligation. But this
seems moi to have been the view of our
Democratic executive, his party being as
tremendous in the direction of disciplin-
.ng our militia for some future war as it is,
and has been against paying the obliga-
lions of the last one"
GENERAL GRUBB'S MAN CARTER
There has been a scheme in the Second
Congressional District to side track GEN
sral E. Burd Grubb for the Congressional
nomination. 1t is argued that as d Con-
gresham he would become a potent fac
tor in the political and social world at
Washington; that he could quietly fix up
his fences for the United States Senatori-
al Qnntnot IN fkA xnnnr F1Ifr.l HlLn Cav
eral, however, has given this report a
black eye by endorsing the candidacy of
senator w. II. Carter, of Burlington,
n will make a contest with Congress-
man James Buchanan for the nomina-
lion. The contest will be amicably con-
Quoted, because there are no issues at
stake. Burlington has come to the con-
clusion that it wants the nomination,
and recent dissatisfaction over some OF
Buchanan's appointments has intensified
the feeling. There is a growing anti
Buchanan feeling in 10th Burlington and
Ocean, but this, it is thought. will be off
set by the strong Buchanan feeling in At
lantic and Mercer. General w. j. Sew
I'll is favorable to the reelection of Judge
Buchanan. They have become fast
friends and have worked well together
during the last two years. Although
there Is a strong anti-Sewell feeling In
Burlington the General still holds con-
srol. Senator Carter's chances are some
what handicapped by the internal strife
.hat exists among the Republicans of
burlington over the county Offices.
