WORRYING ABOUT APPOINTMENTS

TRENTON, June u, 1S95.-Wen may
fha Renublicans exclaim, with the theo-
logical people. when will our troubles
end?n They have found a new source
of worry in the nominations which the
Governor sent to the Senate yesterday.
Ex-Governor Ludlow is good lawyer,
and would make an excellent Judge OF
the Supreme Court. they admit put
then he will make the majority OF the
Court Democratic. condition WHICH
the Republicans. for what partisan ends
they themselves know, are exertlhs eV-
cry effort to prevent.
They propose TO have discovered that
the nomination of Governor Ludlow is
part of a plot to keep the Court Demo
cratic of which the resignation of Jus
tice Reed and his appointment as wee
Chancellor is part and parcel
"Chan" Rikers nomination as CIR
cult Judge also brings out the perspira-
fron on the Republican Senatorial brow,
although the weather is quite comfort
able Chan is a Republican for reve-
nue. only, according to one wing OF the
Essex machine, and belongs to the ele-
] ment which was repudiated by the party
at the last primaries. He is hardly the
f. man to be made a Judge, according TO
the highly moral and Intellectual stand
ard which they have erected. But he
is a Republican. and to reject Repuo-
lican nominated by a Democratic Gov
ernor would never do. and there they
= are.
lat ISSUE WITH THE GOVERNOR.
Another thing which keeps the Repub-
licans warm this weather is the nomlna-
tions of George Smith of Jersey City and
ALBERT Tailman of Gloucester as Lay
Judges of the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals. They confidently expected that
these two men would be nominated yes
terday and they were all prepared TO re-
ject them; but they did not come The
Republicans claim to know that the Gov
ernor does not intend to nominate them
That has raised the question whether
these men have the right to occupy the
positions any longer
The Republicans claim that the Cover
nor must make the nominations when the
Legislature convenes The Governor
claims that does not apply until the next
regular Legislature convenes in January.
The Republicans propose to offer reso-
i luton requesting the Attorney General
s to give them an opinion as to whether
the Senate, one branch of the State Gov
ernment. can question the composition
of the Court of Errors. subordinate
branch.
In 1894 the Attorney General expressed
the opinion that the Supreme Court could
question the composition of the Senate
and on the opinion the case was COM
menced against the Adrain Senate. The
Republicans claim that he must render
a similar opinion this time to be consist
ent and if he does. and the Governor
makes no nomination. the Senate will
contest the rights of Messrs. Smith and
Tallman to sit in the Court
OH OF COURSE.
The Senate did NOT meet until after
eleven o'clock this morning. The first
mattertaken up was the Governors vetoes
of the bills to keep Newark in the Re-
publican party.
Mr.. Ketcham. in his Sunday School
style told how the bills were in the inter
est of the good people who had expressed
themselves so Enthusiastically within the
past three years
Mr.. Kuhl denounced the bill as taking
the right of self-government from the
people and placing the city in the hands
of one man. a practical autocrat.
Mr. Ketcham made another goo-goo
speech, and then Mr.. Daily wiped the
floor up with him.
Forty years ago. Mr.. DAILY said. such a
bill would have been called revolution
ary Never in its history. when it had
everything it's own way. did the Demo-
i cratic party dare to go so far as to pass
b such bills. They were machine bills
passed at the order of the Essex ma
chine 1t was the political heelers, the
gutter snipes of the party, who wanted
these bills and not the people. Mr..
Daly wanted to know why special cleo
ton was not held.
Mr.. Ketcham replied that a special
election would cost too much, and
whined some more about the purity of
the present city government and the
wfckedness of the previous one.
HARROW PARTISANSHIP.
Mr. Kuhl denounced Mr.. Ketcham for
his narrow partisansfip, which con-
tinually declared that the government
that had gone out in Newark was all
evil. while the one that came in was all
sanity, and it reminded him that the
rress and pulpit of Newark had declared
the present city government moral
failure.
The bills passed Notwithstanding the
yetoes. by strict party vote.
The Senate passed the new bill to en-
able New Brunswick to become Republi-
can by giving the Mayor a vote in the
tied Board of Aldermen; regulating the
fees of the clerks of the Supreme Court
and the Chancellor. and reducing their
income considerably; requiring the Gov
ernor to connsider bills five days after
adjournment of the session instead of
thirty, as now The Senate went into
another caucus at one o'clock.
