EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE D0INGS
If there is Democrat in New jersey
who has other than bright and buoyant
hopes of the election of Chancellor NC
Gil to the Governship he can readily
find at the State Committee headquarters
in Taylor's Hotel, the most substantial
and encouraging inspiration as to the
outlook in that important connection.
The feeling of enthusiasm is contagious.
The evident determination of the mem
bers of the committee to make a winning
fight in every corner of the state mis-
the visitor with confidence. With Char
man Young in direct personal contfol
for the first time, affairs have taken
decided business-like turn. Mr. Young
is AMMAN of great executive ability anu
mas his heart In the work he has SO
cheerfully undertaken. He and his anus
have given careful attention to the as
signment of speakers and will send
throughout the State the best known
orators.
Augustus w. Cutler, Of Morristown,

the nomination. will take the stump for
the ticket throughout the big upstate

SENATOR MCPHERSON CONFIDENT.
senator Mcpherson, who sailed for
Europe on the I'd instant, sent word to
the State Conlaittee through an lnu-
mate pol tical friend. that he would be
back before the month IS cut, and do all
he ceuld to elect Democratic Governor
The senator declared himself very much
pleased with Tha nomination Of Chancei-
lor McGili~ and concluded his letter by
saving: .sWe have nominated one OF the
grandest men in our party fer Governor
and I feel confident of his election There
S no question about Chancellor McGil,
and any Democrat that can vote against
him is unworthy the name Of Democrat.
SIZING UP THE SITUATION.
One of the first moves made by Chair
man Young yesterday was to order
teiegrapllic roundup of the situation all
over the State The first to respond to
the query was Edward V. Lindabury of
Elizabeth, Union county, who is a mem
ber of the Committee-at-Large "The
prospects for the election of McGill, !"
wired Mr. Lindabury, "are Frightening
every day, There was at first some
dfstrust and perhaps a little i'll feeling
among certain elements. But both have
now completely disappeared. The well
come change in sentiment is largely due
to the personality of Chancellor Nc
Gill"
ENTHUSIASTIC FOR MGILL.
The reply of Eckard p Budd of Mt.
Holly. Burlington county, who was the
next heard from, was:-"Our county has
nominated an exceptionally strong ticket.
The two factions, which have been war
ring for years, are now united and har-
monious for the ticket named and en-
thusiastic for McGill.'
Judge Richard H. Kuhl of Flemington
sent cheering words from Hunterdon
county The Judge has the distinction
of being the only Democratic Senator
elected last winter. ''The situation is
favorable" he replied. stAll factions are
united on McGill Our Assembly ticket
will be named without opposition. We
have only two districts and two candi-
dates-William c. Alpaugh. the present
member, and David Lawsche, of Stock
ton, new man, but a strongs one with
the voters.
WARREN'S BRIGHTEST PROSPECTS.
Congressman Johnston Cornish of
Washington, Warren county:-"From all
parts of the county reports come that
there has not been a nomination in
many years that has given such general
satisfaction as that of McGill The in
dications are that the entire county
ticket will be elected, and that the usual
Democratic majority will be given"
Samuel Fowler. of Newton Sussex
County: "The party here is entirely
united and enthusiastic. Sussex County
never went Republican until last year
The dissatifaction which made that pos
sible no longer exists. All Democrats
will support McGil1 A strong opposition
has developed to Griggs among the Re-
publican working men because of his cor
poration connections"
Senator William J.. Keys, of Somer-
vile, Somerset County, 1--WE have nom
mated the best county ticket in twenty
five years. Each candidate was chosen
by acclamation, something never known,
before here. Chancellor McGill will get
the full Democratic vote and the votes
of a host of Republican friends as well''
WILL RECLAIM THEIR COUNTY.
Abram De Ronde, of Englewood,
Bergen County: Last year the Repub
licans carried the old Democratic county,
because of dissensions in our party
This year they will make strenuous ef-
forts to hold it. We have a large per-
centage of Independent. intelligent vo-
ters in Bergen, and they are to a man
satisfied with the nomination of Nc
Gill That fact, with a good county
ticket, means a sure Democratic major
ity."
Louis F. Braun. Of Paterson Passaic
County: sFhe Democrats are better uni
ted and more thoroughly organized than
ever in Griggs' home county. We are
making an active canvass and expect to
keep the majority down to its normal
figures. Last time it was 1000. this
year it will not exceed 2,5oo.
