County Committee and
Local Candidates.
Special to the Jersey CYty Ne,os.

NEWARK, April 26. 1s92-The Newark
convention to elect two delegates to the
Republican National Convention will
meet this afternoon at Chester Row. DR.
II. G. Herold and r. Wayne Parker are
the two active candidates for the honor Of
representing their district in the Mime
apolis Convention, and it was asserted
yesterday afternoon by the workers they
would win. Elias S. Ward will have
strong support, and II he makes canvass
he will make it warm for Mr.. Park er.
He has not, however, been inclined to
enter the contest for the capture of dele
gates, believing that this is the sort OF
political distinction which should not be
sought in the manner customary in secur-
ing other nominations. George L. Smith
of the First ward is a candidate and may
disturb MIR. Parker In his own bailiwick.
james Z. Howell will! have the support of
the Eighth ward as well as some votes
from other sections, but he is not making
an active canvass. Franklin MURPHY y
would like to be a delegate, but declines
to make the struggle which "the boys''
expect. Que of the leaders said yesterday
that he would not be surprised to see
some such man as eX-Congressman Lehl-
bach nominated with rush.
THE STATE.
The Newark delegates to the State Con-
yention have been told that there is little
'L5pe of defeating General Sewell, and
that there will be little opposition to the
slate, which is made up of John /. Blair,
George A. Halsey. w. j. Sewell and
Garrett A. Hobart, They will have
something to say upon the formation of
a State committee, however. They want
different system of State representation.
john Kean, Jr., Is not candidate for
delegate to Minneapolis.
General E. Burd Grubb's friends in
Newark say he will be home in June, and
that he will begin an active canvass for
Governor at once, John Kean. Jr.. is the
candidate against him, as he was three
years ago. General Grubb will resign in
n few weeks as Minister at Madrid. Cap
tain Granam, it is said here, has gone to
Spain bv his orders to tell him just what
his chances are. 1t is understood that
Graham has been in General Grubb's en-
pIoy in all the work he has done in Jer-
sey City.
THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMITTEE.
Major Carl Lentz was elected Chair
man Of the County Republican Commit
tee on Friday evening. The new COM
nittee is Il big one, and nobody seemed
to know just what might happen. But
Major Lentz was elected, as was expected.
Alderman Stainsby received twenty votes
to thlrty-five for Major Lentz. The al
dermau was not candidate, and says he
figured in the balloting against his
will.
The County Republican Committee
will have entire control of the Republi-
can campaign in Newark and the county
this year. and the City Committee will
have no share until next Spring, as the
new election law goes into effect and
changes the date of the charter election
from October to April. There will be
three tickets for Congressman in this dis
trict-in Newark, in the Oranges and In
Clinton-and us it is necessary that the
campaign should be under the control Of
one body, and as County CLERK is to be
elected, the County Committee will have
full charge. For County Clerk on the Re
publican side, Captain Charles Glori, of
The Fourth Police Precinct, appears to
have tire inside track, while Superintend-
mt Of Police William II. Brown is named
