RIVALS FOR THE sENATORsH1P.
SOMERSET REPUBLICANS NOT UNITED BIT
A COMPROMISE CANDIDATE MAY
BRING THE FACTIONS
TOGETHER


sorrArvine. sept 10 (SpecaD The Republican
situation IN Somerset County now is one Of
hesitation The bitter fight hetween the Reed
and Thompson factions Is at the ebb tide. and
the chances are that II may not result in any
harm 10 the party. Senator Reed has an
nounced his intention II making no EFFORT n get
a denomination. He says that If a compromise
candidate can be agreed upon who will be salts
factory 10 the party he will be satisfied A. the
same time. his friends are urging that he be
renominated because. they say. he has made a
good record in the Senate. and deserves sec
ond term which is the usual custom in the
county
The Thompson men have nor yet announced
a candidate Ex-Sheriff George 4 Dilts. Of
Raritan IS the candidate they would like but
he has not yet decided 70 permit his name 10
be used Should he become an avowed aspirant
FOR the office there would be a strong fight
against him by the friends Of Senator Reed for
he has always been allied with the opposing
faction.
Joseph S Frelinghuysen has recently an
nounced himself as candidate. He is a young
man who has never held office. He declares
that he will make pledges to neither side. but
will go before the people without alliance OF
any kind II Frelinghuysen should be accepted
by the leaders he could be nominated, and
many regard him as strong candidate but II
is still difficult predict the result Of the Re
publican convention.
The Democrats are in bad shape. The silver
wing OF the party is more determined than ever
to control matters. This was shown in recent
meeting Of the County Committee. James J
Bergen, formerly Speaker Of the House OF As
scmbly is anxious fol- the nomination, and II Is
generally believed that he will get il. But as
he has been outspoken gold Democrat the
silver men say they will not support him. Elston
" French has been mentioned He Is a radical
silver man. and would not receive the support
Of the gold Democrats Prosecutor Nelson Y
DUNCAN, who has never allied himself openly
with either faction. would like the nomination.
but he Will hardly be able 10 get the delegates
Mr. Bergen seems likely to get the nomination.
and he can be beaten by any good Republican
upon whom the party can unite.
Edward r. Cooper will be nominated by the
Republicans for Assembly and will undoubtedly

pictures are the most realistic of any of those given by Edison's inventions, being an improved vitascope, and the pictures reproduced besides being most life-llke are wonderful in the way they are shown.
 The pictures to be presented are the same shown with such great success at Keith's Union Square theater, New York city. The views shown by the pro- jectoscope are larger, steadier, more graphic and more interesting than any obtainable by the other photographic inventions.
 Some of the series to be shown are: Bombardment of San Juan, Porto Rico; Dynamite Cruiser Vesuvius Smelling Mantanzas; Naval Parade in North River August 20; Spanish Bull Fight; Start and Finish of Suburban Handi- cap 1898, and many others.
