PRESS DEMANDS ACTION
Expectations Of Special Session of the New
Jersey Legislature.
May Have Important Bearing on the
Future Prospects Of the Repub-
Iican Party fn the State.
Special Correspondence Of The Evening Star

TRENTON, n. J., May ~ 1897.
The New Jersey legislature for the first
ume In thirty-one years, assembled today
IN extraordinary session, to correct and
chahge the word provided to pro
hioited, which had crept into the gam
bling and horse racing amendment 10 he
submitted to the people I'm September.
While this error has caused the governor
to reconvene the Legislature. il is probable
now that some legislation which was looked
for last February and March will be placed
! upon the statute books
There is much legislation demanded by
the local press of the state. and the re-
publican leaders in Hudson county which,
since adjournment, elected a democratic
mayor for five years. desire some Iegisla-
ton also which will prevent a wholesale
custing of the present republican officials
OF that city. At the present time many
places. The mayor of Jersey City has much
power, given him by recent legislatures.
United States Senatorshtp Involved.
The actions of the gathering of today
may have some effect upon the choice Of
the next United States senator from New
Jersey. The leading candidates on the re-
publican side. and, from present indica-
tions, it looks like Senator James Smith,
jr. s, successor will be a republican, are
Governor John William Griggs, the first
governor of his party for twenty-seven
years; John kean, eX-congressman from
the third district. and Franklin Murphy,
chairman of the state committee. MIR.
Murphy was Gen. Sewelrs opponent In the
last caucus. The leaders seem to be plac-
ing their choice upon Governor Griggs, and
all his appointments seem to be made with
that end in view. John kean may he
named for governor. He was a candidate
Immediately preceding Griggs, but was
beaten by George T. Werts. and was
candidate before the convention when Mr..
Griggs captured the nomination.
Young Men Favor Voorhees,.
The younger men are in favor Of either
Senator Foster Voorhees, of Union county
for governor or Senator Edward c. Stokes.
Congressman Henry c. Loudenslager of
the first district is also talked of for gov
ernCr.
The democrats are making herculean ef-
forts to turn the tide of public opinion their
way, and the gold and silver forces are
once more a unit all apparently pulling for
eX-Clerk in Chancery Allen l.. McDermott
for the senatorship. He was a gold demo-
crat in the last campaign, but was silver
democrat for Congress until his nomination
papers were declared illegal.
The people of the state hope for short
meeting of the extra session. Ine biennial
legislative amendment may come up and
ordered presented to the voters in which
case 1t will probably result in the people
doing away with half the legislature.
