the production is made as regards scenery

awful example of young Mr.. Pitney
haunts him, and, although no one who

from Morris, yet he does not care to

n if any nomination to office, iii the
Governorship, for instance, should come

look as if the Pitney combination had
overreached itself and that Speaker Wat

Salem May Be Ours.

Present indications all point to a DEM
ocratic victory next fall in Salem county.
But one requisite is essential and that
is a superior candidate for Senator.
While the leaders of that county are
turning this matter over in their minds,
they would do well to consider Robert
Gwynne, Jr., editor of the Salem Sun
BEAM" who, in 1893, made such a brilliant
run for the office against Farmer" John
Ward. Wards plurality was only 81, and
he got that on a fiuke. At the last Sen
atorial election, in Salem, the Republic
can candidate was elected by a plurality
of ss3, although last fall, Frank Wright,
the Democratic candidate for Assembly,
carried the county by ITS plurality.
. It can thus be readily seen that the
candidate himself has much to do with
the success of the ticket, land no better
nominee could be secured than Mr..
Gwynne He is in every way fitted to
fill the high office of Senator, to he
credit Of himself, his county and his

RITTER's LARGE MAJORITY.
Greenvi1le Republicans Explain
How the Victory Happened.

The Minkakwa Republican Club will
hold a meeting this evening at its quar-
tiers, Ocean near Danforth avenues A
date will be Ike for the proposed pro-
gressive euchre party to be held in Col
umbia Hall. Invitations will be sent to
the Republican clubs throughout the ward,
excepting the recently organized Seventh
Ward Republican Club, which the party
Republicans do not recognize.
The new club seems to be getting along
very we'll without the support of the other
clubs, and it is steadily increasing in
membership. One of the members said
yesterday tina it intends to erect a new
clubhouse on Ocean avenue which will
surpass anything of its lind in the ward
He said that it is Indifferent as to the
opinions of the other Republican organi-
cations and intends to become a strong
factor in the ward. This club at present
meets in a barn on Bayview venue Mr..
Edward Birch. who recently resigned
from the Republican League Club, is the
President.
A member of the Republican ward asso-
citation said last night that there would
be no investigation as to the cause OF the
poor showing made by the Republicans at
the recent election. He said they did rot
expect to win, and the only doubt Was as
to majorities. As a matter of fact the

cratic candidates the largest majorities,
which shows that the Republican candi-
dates did not receive the full support or
the party in those, precincts.

Manh.ttan Ta,atrs

Brady & Ziegfeld's new farce comedy Of
fering 1.-THE Manicure" at the Manhattan,
has scored a screaming success and will
draw crowds until hot weather. Joseph
R. Grismer has adapted 1.-THE Manicure
from a French farce by Sylvane and Ar
tus, which enjoyed long favor in Paris.
The new frivolity has as a centre figure
a manicure girl, and reveals the workings
of what the French lave rather neatly
styled "a beauty parlor." 1.-THE Mani
cure is wildly ~farcical and its fun is of
a more boisterous type han that OF the
piquant French farces which nave pre-
ceded it. Many comic complications, in
volving fast and furious action, grow cut
of its slender plot. Isobel st. Leger,
blonde and beauteous. willowy and DEVIL
ish, is involved in financial troubles n
her manicure establishment is about to
be sold out by a grabbed old deputy sher-
if. To avert disaster, she exercises all
her Establishments, and both the stern
official and his susceptible young clerk
are forced to seek concealment to avoid
the wrath of Captain St~ephanopolis, "the
terrible Greek, her afianced, who ar
dor and jealousy are alike tempestuous.
One of the funniest episodes is where the
officers are literally drenched in a shower
bath, and assuming feminine attire mas
querade as, the manicurist's aunt and
cousin to dispel the warlike Greeks angry
suspicious. The sheriff's wife, an adj
vanced type of the new woman discovers
the compromising condition of affairs. and
there are r~sultant domestic complications,
essentially Gallo, which sustain the COM
ic interest to the final curtain. An en-
tirely snew-company is introduced at the

Which Companies Will
Be Dropped.

Company officers of the Fourth Regi-

seat. There are many who would give a
great deal to know which two companies
are slated for muster out.
The officers of Companies G and M are
perhaps a little more worried than the
others. Rumor says those two companies
are the unfortunate ones.
Colonel Smith remains as silent as ever.
The orders will probably be issued about
the middle of the week. All officers when
approached on this subject profess ignor-
ance of Colonel Smiths intention.
The triangular contest for the Lieu
tenant Colonelcy between Majors Steele,
Brensinger and Lohmann is a warm one
Major Steele appears to be the favor1te.

Republioan Outlook in Hudson.

The Tribune" announces, this morning,
that there are signs that the people
are not contented with the Democratic
party in this county, and are ripe for
q revolt next November This will GER
tainly be a surprise to people who read,
only last week, the figures of the Official
count, showing Democratic victories OF
unexampled magnitude in Jersey City,
Hoboken, Bayonne, and every township
in North Hudson.
The Tribune must certainly have a
long range telescope of u~nexampled power
to detect the signs of which it speaks.
They are certainly not dfscernible with
the naked eye. The ordinary politician
can see nothing in the November out
look u a majority for the Democratic
ticket even greater than that which Mr..
Crane received for the G~overnorship, last
fall.
If the Tribune is building any air
castles upon the foundation of Republic
can party reorganization. it is going to
be sadly disappointed. Reorganization
means nothing to any party for at least
two or three years after it takes place.
The Democracy had experience of this

was .regenerated' after the plan of Mr..
George L.. Record. 1t continued to be
beaten for two years, and its present ca

It is hard to tell which way would be
the more disastrous. If Dickinson and
his gang remain in control of the ma

ment of the voters will be permanently
~estranged- On the other hand, If the

Pitusx and Watkins.

The scheme of the Republican leaders
who favor the nomination of young Mr..
Pitney Of Morristown for Governor. two
years hence, to sidetrack his most dam
gerous rival, Speaker David o. Watkins,
is not likely to succeed. The boom of
Mr.. Watkins, during the last session OF
the Legislature, received such an impetus
that it seems almost impossible to stop
him; while Mr.. Pitney, who many thought
was the foreordained successor to the
nomination, so damaged his cause by his
arrogant and dictatorial manner, that his
friends recognized that only the most
desperate measures could save him. They
concluded that the first thing to be done
was to get Speaker Watkins put of the
race. go they persuaded the powers that
be at Washington to offer him the United
States District A~ttorneyship. According
to the fundamental law of the land the
person holding the office of District At
torney cannot occupy any other office,
and the friends of Mr.. Pitney. with that
marvellous astuteness which Character
izes their principal, imagined that the
Speaker could be inveigled into accepting
the position, thus shelving himself as a
a-ubernatorfal candidate.
It is hard to think that anyone, even
with the intelligence of young Mr.. Pit
nev. could have entered into such a
scheme as this; for, from what can be
learned from those near to him, Mr..
Watkins will probably accept the offer
and at the same time remain in the field
