The list of names selected for County
Registration officers, yesterday, by the
Republican State General Committee. is
significant in the extreme. 1t indicates
without doubt. everyone says, that the
Republicans in aud out of this State will
exhaust every known effort to carry New
Jersey for Harrison in the fall. Only the
btterest partisans of the party really be-
lieve that this can be accomplished: but
these partisans will make the effort. A
glance through the list of names the
state Committee will ask the Governor to
appoint, shows that each appointee is a
partisan who will blindly follow where
his leaders lead. II any advantage to the
Republican party can be got out of these
men the party will get it.

WEAK KNEED WIGGINS.
In Hudson county e. w. Woolley.
Chairman of the Executive Committee Of
the Republican County Committee, Is re-
tained. but Herb. Potts persuaded the
committee TO appoint Frederick Fran
bach, his law partner, in the place that
John r. Wiggins was the first Republi-
can to fill under the present law. Jon n
r. Wiggins has been Republican all his
life and has flied number of offices with
credit, Dut he has never been considered
a boss in Hoboken. His work for Repub-
Iican candidates has failed to please them
for two years back, and because he be-
lieved that good Democrat was the peer
of a good Republican, Virgins has been
charged with being weak-kneed and the
wrong man for the important Office. The
Republican County Committee last fall
determined that John r. Wiggins should
become backnumber, and the determi-
nation was carried out yesterday. FRAN
bach was appointed by Colonel Toffey at
the instigation of Potts Frambach will
doubtless be as partisan as his sponsors
would have him.
The decision to establish the State
headquarters in this city is a matter not
to be disregarded by Democrats. The
principal reason for placing the head
quarters here Is that the committeeman
will be able TO keep better watch over
this county, as the Republican party in
tends to make it the battle ground of the
State and to fill it with United States
Supervisors and Marshals
EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

five members who will act with the
officers as the Executive COMMITTEES.
The five names will be submitted at the

will be fixed. John T. Foster told me
yesterday that the convention would be
held during the last week of August
Chairman Kean will on that date
also appoint Finance Committee con-
sisting of five members. John Kean, Jr
never neglecting an opportunity to make
O vote caused resolution to be adopted
commencing the Republican State
League for the work it has done, and in
wing George II. Ga9kill. President of
tb League, to sit at the meetings of the
s ate Committee so that he and the COM
iittee might frequently confer. This
