The Supreme Court clerksnip, 1T Is thought
belongs to South Jersey. Ii so, Harry b
Loudenslager, the present Congressman, or
Senator Edward c. Stokes would be re-
oarded as worthy of consideration In this
connection. Senator Stokes has been very
prominently identified with all the issues
that were successful in this campaign, while
Congressman L~oudenslager heiped very ma
ter1ally to swell Griggs' plurality by the IN
crease of the pluralities in every one OF the
counties in his district.
| TALK OF LEGISLATIVE ORGANlZA-
TION.
The reorganization of the Senate and
HOUSE will be attended with considerable ex-
citement, and, perhaps, some bitterness.
President E. C. Stokes, who was reelected
from Cumberland, made such an excellent
presiding officer of the Senate and gained
such popularity that there is talk OF reflect
inc him Yet Senator Thompson, of Som
erset, will make q try for the post, his
friends say if there is anything IN being en-
titled to it he ought TO have nrs1 can. M

much to place Somerset in the Republican
column again this year, and he gaye way to
Stokes last year.
When the time comes ~Thompson's may be
the only name brought up in caucus Sen
ator Voorhees, could probably have the pres

fer the honor of remaining the leader on the
floor. Voorhees, has been mentioned not only
for the presidency, but for Attorney Gen-
eral. and a place on the Supreme Court
/ Bench, but there is scarcely any hkeilhood
| of his acceptance of either. He IS IN line Tor

Preparations have already begun among
the prominent Republicans for a magnificent
inaugural celebration. The clubs of all the
large cities are already discussing their pro-
posed march to Trenton to seat John w.
Griggs.
An Essex club was the first to engage It's
band and arrange for its quarters in Tren-
ton. Others are following very fast, and
nearly every club in the league that can
raise the funds will be IN hand with badges,
flags and music. :,
It is quite possible that the parade will
contain 10000 people, for the Republican
League is in very good shape now that the
fat offices are in sight, and expect to turn
out a great mob.
The Republican Club of Trenton, perhaps
one of the strongest Republican organize
tions in the State, having a magnificent club
house in the heart of the city, will assume
the details of the inaugural ball.
The plans are under consideration and 1t
is thought that the event will be held in
Taylor Opera House, because of the room,
which will be a very important considera-
ton, as at least 1000 will attend the affair.
The Opera House is capable of magnificent
decorations and would have more floor and
promenade room than any other building in
Trenton.
