The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1895-05-13

will be hard to find a man of both the
ability and temperament of Mr.. Bur-
raughs. There is no doubt that he gave
core %gratuitous service to the State of
New Jersey than any other man in the
State in the several complimentary posi-
lions that he has held within the past
fifteen years. He developed the stone
road cause in New Jersey and placed
the State foremost in the list of those
having hard roads. The position of
State Road Commissioner pays a per
diem for actual services and expenses
and it is the duty of the officer to act
upon the application for stone roads I'M
der the State aid law, to examine the
specifications, to apportion the States
money to the localities building hard
roads. and to see that the material and
work are up to the standard.
CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR.
Candidates for Governor or the Re-
| publican ticket are numerous. Nearly
every county in the State is represent
ed, although there are still a few who
have not pushed to the front some ia
vorite son. The list now contains fif-
| teen names. They are as follows:-Ex-

Ward of Essex county; Colonel John j.
Toffey of Hudson. and ex-senator John
w. Griggs of Passa.c.
The Democratic list of candidates does
not lengthen out so rapidly, but every
| week manages to bring a new man to
the front for the edification of those in
the party who hope to see reorganization
and hard work this fall. The latest
name put out is that of r. v. Linda
bury of Union county, a young man OF
considerable ability, who has acquired a
reputation as the vice president OF the
Citizens League, which made the fight
against the race track two years ago.
The others who are being considered are

rem, exCongressman William McAdoo
of Hudson, Supreme Court Justice Job
Lippincott of Hudson. Charles E. Hen
erickson of Burlington, and Supreme

prize.
