GRUBB Is TN IT.
The UnWhiSkered Phi1adel
phia Captain Will Run
For Governor
Again.
TRIANGULAR FIGHT NOW.
John Kean, Jr., and McGowan of
Trenton Will Tap Their
Balls to Capture tie
Nomination.

TRENTON, June 90, 1892. The return of
General E. Burd Grubb will give some
impetus to the State campaign. He states
that he will accept the nomination for
Governor If it is given to him. Beyond
that he will do nothing, but his friends
have already begun to boom him.
The large delegation that formally well
coined him home yesterday represented
the working Republicans of Jersey City
and Newark, and hey resolved, then and
there, to start the boom rolling down the
State. They insist that General Grubb
made the most aggressive campaign in
years and that hs sowed the seed that
produced such excellent resul is in jersey
City. They believed that for this and for
putting up the Doodle for the Stuhr-Toffey-
Auderson conspiracy, he should ag ain be
given nomination.
1t is doubtful whether he will be alb 10 to
get the nomination without making q
contest. This will be left to his friends
and in few days conference will be
called and line of action agreed upon.
TRIANGULAR RACE.
The Republicans seem tobe anxious to
have their State Convention early, not
later than Au gust Is, SO as to complete
lHelf 81 due COfn lnlICee. AL U06 ldSG con-
Ventlon the State Committee was reorgan-
lied on an entilely new basis, the repre-
sentation being by counties instead of
Congress slonal districts, but the selections
of D-at-large to be named,
and this is the principal reason for having
a mid convention. AS soon as
the date is fixed then the State campaign
will begiu. The contest no doubt will be
between John kean, Jr., General E.
Burd Grubb and Frank Mcgowan.
After the State Convention there will
hen be a convention Of the State League
of Republican Clubs, either in Trenton
or Asbury Park. In the meanwhile, Or
ganizer John Ulrich is busy completing
the formation of its county leagues. So
far he he has organized county leagues in
one-half of the State, and is arranging for
the other counties. By the time tue State
Convention meets he will have a county
league in every county and those leagues
In turn will organize the township and
school districts. 1t is the intention of the
present officers of the State League to
secure an efficient organization and to en-
courage the young men of the State to do
more practical work, and to impress them
that campaign clubs, transparencies and
fireworks are not the only essential thing
In the Presidential campaign.
Work Of Il significant ch aracter will be
assigned to each club. and the Executive
Committee will make il their business to
see that the assignments are carried out.
The indications, therefore, In New Jersey
point to au aggressive campaign on the
pa.t of the Republicans.
DEMOCRATS NOT IN A HURRY.
The Democrats seem to think there is
no particular reason for haste. They will
not hold their convention until at least
Sentember IS. Their old State Committee
still continues in force until that time.
This makes no particular difference to the
Tlay, hen A IN ntf
and the present highly efficient committee
are perfectly competent to run the affairs
of the Democratic party. There is some
talk that there will be a change in the
craftsmanship this fall; that b. T. Lee
will succeed Allan McDermott.
The State House officials are not excited
over the National Convention. They all
propose to sit IN their cool Offices in the
State House and G ct the news the best
they can. Allan McDermott expressed
himself. during the past week, that he
had no inclination whatever to participate
in the big events of the Wigwam. Secre-
tary of State Kelsey is figuring On how he

New Jersey, is so sure that his friend will
be nominated that he will remain calmly
at home and figure out his majority.

CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES.
There Is still considerable pressure be-
ing brought on Senator John j. Gardner
of Atlantic City to seek the nomination
for Congress in the Second district. The
Republicans of Atlantic City claim that
the nomination should come to Atlantic
county. The Senator himself is non-com-
initial, but the leading Republicans of
the county are working like beavers to
have him say that he will be the cardi-
date.
The conditions in Burlington county re-
main the same. Senator George T. Gran
mer of Ocean is still in the field, and will
be until convention day. Mercer county
presents no name, and will not unless the
complications continue and the emer-
gency demands dark horse
The Democratic gossips have little to
say as to who may be their candidate for
Governor. The tight seems to have mar
rowed down to General r. A. Donnelly
and Judge Kirkpatrick of Essex. South
Jersey is strongly in favor of General
