The Tribune said few days ago, that the control
of the committee credentials to be appointed
by the State Convention would be the vital factor
in the determination of Seymour'S standing there,

A comprehensive glance at the Democratic situa-

that Middlesex County is anti Seymour and, as the

pressed In New Brunswick for the nomination Of

Of z. F. c. Young railroad. trolley and banking
magnate. Young wishes Smiths prestige and
power destroyed. so that he may become the
actual Democratic leader of the State. and thus
be in A position to represent authoritatively the
large corporate interests with which he is con-
nected. Smiths fight for revenge on Seymour
has furnished 10 Young the opportunity for
which he has been waiting, and the Hudson
forces acting under inspiration from him, are
more concerned to encompass Smiths downfall
than to promote Seynours ambitions
The question of Democratic success is too
trivial to bother about Personal revenges per-
sonaI ambitions and a general settling Of old
scores are the things that stick out obtrusively
in every discussion Of politics in the Democratic
camp Smith wants TO down Seymour because
of his ingratitude; Young and Davis think the
time opportune to remove Smith from the po-
sition of Democratic leader. and Seymour is so
filled with the notion that the Governors nom
ination belongs to him rs to be Indifferent about
the results of his persistence.
Outside of Essex and Hudson counties the
Smith and anti-Smith factions-or Seymour and
anti-Seymour, just as you lke-seem to be
largely favorable to the Smith side. Until to-
night, however it is doubtful whether either side
will be able to nail down a majority of the dele
gates, and it may require a rollcall in the con-
vention tomorrow to actually determine which
side is going TO win.

EX-SENATOR BAKER FOR DARK HORSE.

Vineland. Sept. % (SpeciaD-It leaked out in Vine
land to-day, through hurried councils here of prom
inent Democrats in this and neighboring counties
that owing to the bitter fight among the candidates
for the nomination for Governor the Demo-
cratic ticket ex-State Senator Philip P. Baker OF
this city may be the lucky dark horse. Baker,
who is close friend of Senator Smith, was for
merly a member OF the National Democratic Com
mittee from New-Jersey. and his well known con-
sentative views on issues, say politicians, make
him excellent candidate. He is orator of con-
siderable ability. and is popular among all factions
of the Democracy in New-Jersey. Mr.. Baker

overwhelmingly Republican county of Cumberland.
