and seven judges of the new superior court
to serve ten years. The candidate of the
Republicans for treasurer is Benjamin ].
Haywood, of Mercer county at present
cashier in the state treasury. Ex-Con-
gresham B. F. Meyers, of Harrisburg, is

tive estimates place Haywood's majority
in the neighborhood of l25, 900. The Pop

amounts to only a few thousand votes.
