LACK REPRESENTATION.
Jerseys vaean Place On the Demo
cratic Conores4fnna Camnftaea

WASHINGTON, Feb. q, 1S96.-So far
as can be learned, the New Jersey mem
Der of the Democratic Congressional
Campaign Committee has not been chosen
yet. The embarrassment of the situation
was that as New Jersey has no Demo-
ccratic representative on the floor of the
House, there was no member of Congress
to advise the committee. Senator Smith
is here. OF course, enjoying the unique
distinction of being the only Democrat
OF ten Jerseymen in Congress. But he
has not made up his mind, # it rests with
him, as it likely does, who the proper
man for the place is. There is manifest
disposition to add the honor to the host
OF others that rest on the Senator's Shout
ders. 1t is doubtful If he can accept it.
He is praparing, so it is said, to make
a trip to Europe this summer, right in
the midst of the campaign, for the bene-
MT of Mrs. Smiths health.
Mrs. Smith and Miss Smith are now in
Washington. They lave been here for
several lays. Mr.. Smith has been ill and
is far from recovered now.
There was some talk about putting ex-
Congressman Johnston Cornish upon the
committee, and it may .culminate in his
selection. Mr.. Cornish in Congress was
a steadfast and stalwart Administration
man, and his choice would be exceptional
ly acceptable to the Administration.
