TRENTON, Jan. 25, 1S98.-The Governor
sent these nominations to the Senate last
evening"
Prosecutor of the Pleas for Morris
county, Alfred Elmer Mills; for Judge of
the District Court of Jersey City, Charles
w. Parker lin place of James s. Erwin,
resigned); for members of the State
Board of Medical Examiners, Armin
Newell. re-appointed; VIM. Perry Watson,
re-appointed. DR.. Watson is Jersey
City physician.
A strong opposition to the nomination
of Mr.. Parker has developed. Ex-Assem-
blyman Urquhart. as chairman of the
Republican County Committees Legisla-
tive Committee, was here last night to
oppose the nomination. The committee,
it seems, had heard Mr. Parker's name
mentioned but had no idea that it was
going in SO quickly, and so no one but
Mr.. Urquhart came down, and he came
on general principles.
The County Committees objection to
Mr.. Parker is that that body, as the rep
resentative Republican organization of
the county, had not been consulted about
the nomination, and if the regular ma
chine was to be ignored, what was to
become of the party. When Mr. Urqu-
hart went to the Governor to protest, in
behalf of the machine, His Excellency
appeared to be very much surprised at
the protest. He said that as no name
had been sent to him by the County
Committee he did not know that they
were taking any interest in the matter.
That kind of reasoning somewhat f1oored
the representative of the machine and
he withdrew, wondering.
The Governor settled the Mercer county
row by naming Henry j. Crossley for
Prosecutor.
who Mr.. Parker Is.
Charles Wolcott Parker was born in
Newark in 1862, and is son of Cortlandt
Parker, the distinguished lawyer. His
early education he received in Pingry
School, Elizabeth, afterwards attending
at Phillips Academy, Exeter, N. H. From
thence he went to Princeton, graduating
in 1882. He began the study of law in his
fathers office and attended Columbia Law
School, from which he graduated in 1885.
At the June term of that year he was ad-
mitted to the bar of New Jersey,< and
subsequently was admitted counselor. A
few years later Mr.. Parker entered part
persnip with Mr. De Witt Van Buskirk of
Bayonne, and U. s. Commissioner Linsly
Rowe joined the firm which has offices in
the Davidson Building in Bayonne. Mr..
Parker was, in November, 1893, married to
Miss Emily Fuller of Boonton, N. j., and
they reside now at Bergen Point.

\ of whether or not the declaration was
valid. even if error reously made, he took
