support he was receiving all over the

Before leaving for Hot Springs with his

sweep the Seventh Ward.

That there is a great deal of dissension
in the Republican ranks in the Seventh
ward, there is no doubt, and already the
members Of the different clubs are sharp
ening knives which they will carry up
their sleeves until election day. This
much was clearly demonstrated last even
ing at meeting of the Greenville Repub-
lican League Club.
Before discussing politics, the finances
of the club were examined The Board
Of Trustees submitted report showing
that the financial condition of the organi-
zation was in a fair condition There
was also great deal of discussion over
an amendment to the constitution Of the
club, but just what section, the members
refuse to say.
Edward Birch and William Charloel
were chosen to be voted for as delegates
to the State convention. The primary
will be held tomorrow night at No 120

Fl. C. Petty were chosen as alternates.

man arrested under the provisions of
the ordinance regulating the Duties of the
Inspector and providing a penalty of $50

have their scales inspected. The mer-
chants arose up in arms over new or
dinance passed by the Board of Alder
men. giving the Inspector greater powers
and they succeeded in getting Mayor Hoos
to veto the ordinance. Mr.. Lemmerman
refused to allow the Inspector to inspect
his scales when he called for that pur-
pose a few days ago, because the Inspec-
tor mad inspected them in June last Mr.
Zimmerman said he had no right TO in

FORT OUT FOR VOORHEES,
Why He Thinks That the
War Governor Should Be
Nominated.
Especial to ..rhe Jersey city Newg..l

NEWARK, Sept. II, 1S9s-Judge J,
Franklin Fort, of the Essex County
Court, said today that he is not candi-
date for the Republican nomination for
Governor, ana expressed himself in favor
of the nomination of Foster NJ. Voorhees,.
The war record of the Acting Governor
and his prominence in the Senatorial IN
vestigation of 1885, are among the reasons
why Judge Fort favors his candidacy.
Judge Forts statement was made in re-
sponse to the inquiry of a News re-
porter who said TO him
Many of your friends are constantly
inquiring whether you will permit your
name to be used for Governor VIII you
not make some statement on the sub
iect?'
1T does not seem to me necessary that
l should make any statement whatever"
Judge Fort replied. 81 have not been
candidate and am not now. OF course
do not mean by that to attempt to con-
vey the impression that there was not
time some months ago when l rather
hoped that the Republicans of New Jer-
sey might conclude that 1 would make an
acceptable candidate, but that hope took
no root after Governor Griggs resigned
and Governor Voorhees, became Acting
Governor, and the war followed, and Mr..
Voorhees, became SO efficient therein, it
seemed to me to go without saying that
he would be nominated.
I'm fact, not to do so is a reflection
which the party ought not to make. His
administration in war matters had been
| so absolutely free from any of the objec-
| tions urged against the Governors of
other States and the War Department,
that his nomination will silence anything
| that might otherwise be said on that sub
| ject. New Jersey has nothing to regret
and everything to be proud of, in her
soldiers, in their equipment and in send
ing them forward. To Governor Voor-
hees's untiring efforts in their behalf the
credit is largely, if not wholly, due
| His candidacy will also recall to the
people. as none other would, the criminal
character of the .tOld State House ring.
| AS candidate his personal record n1ust
! largely enter into the issues, and that rec
ord is one of absolute honesty of purpose
personal integrity and bitter opposition to
from 1891 to 1894. You cannot recall sin
/ gle act of reform since 1894 with Which
Governor Voorhees's name is not identi-
| ned in some way. He is an issue in him
self.
He can be nominated without friction
ana, wnat is OF greater Importance, he
can be elected"
There, now added the Judge. in con-
| clusion, that is more politics than | have
talked before in eighteen months

blymen, desire denomination. A mistake
on their part now might mean their own

The appointment to the office of Col
lector OF Customs to succeed the late
William r. Williams is likely to have
more or less effect on the complexion OF
the delegation. The position pays the IN
eumbent about 35oe-a year.
Congressman +. Wayne Parker, who, by
virtue of his office will name the Collec-
tor, declined to say when the appoint
ment would be made or whom he favored
for the appointment other than that ne
hoped to select a man who would give
general satisfaction.
Much has been said of late. concerning
the complication that would ensne in
connection with the Union County Sena-
torship, in the event of Acting Governor
Voorhees, receiving the nomination for
Governor. The question whether or not
the Acting Governor can accept his own
resignation as Senator to take effect up
on the third Tuesday Of January, and is
sue writ for the election of his sue
cessor as Senator from Union county IN
November has been discussed in all its
bearings.
