the three equally divided the money be-
tween them. The complainant says he

TRENTON, Dec. Z, 1904 Yesterday
was the dullest Governors day at the
State house since the election.
The fact that presiding officers, the
leaders and the principal officers of both
branches of the Legislature have been
agreed upon and nothing in connection
with that remains to be done except for
mally nominate them at the coming eau
cuses, tended to keep the Senators and
Assemblymen at home, and there was
only handful Of them present.
Among the Senators here was Lewis
M. Cresse, of Cape May, who was re-
ported to be i'll at his home. He smiled
at the inquiries concerning his health
and said that he had had severe cold,
but was all right again.
Somers T. Champion. the former AS
semblyman from Monmouth, who wants
the position of assistant clerk, which was
held by Upton S. Jeffreys, the Camden
editor, was also here. Although it is
generally taken for granted that Mr.. JEFF
freys will succeed himself. Mr.. Champion
is very much in earnest, and is making
good fight under the adverse circum-
stances. He has sent circular to all
the members Of the Legislature, and
those who are supposed to have any in
fuence- with the members.
1t was also said that Mr.. Champion
had had Attorney General McCarter
write letter to the Essex delegation, re-
questing them to support the Monmouth
man.
There was, however, a strong senti-
ment in favor of Mr.. Jefferys among the
few members here yesterday, and it was
said that Essex was for the Camden
man.
Former Governor Griggs has also writ
ten letter to the Passaic members, ask
ing them to support Mr.. Champion, but
the friends of Mr.. Jefferys say that the
Passaic men are with him.
Governor Murphy was in his Office in
the morning, but the executive business
was so light that he went away shortly
after noon. While here he accepted the
resignation Of former Senator Herbert
w. johnson as Sheriff of Camden Coun-
ty, and appointed in his place Frank G.
Somers, who had been selected for the
place by the Camden leaders.
Senator Bradley, Of Camden, was here
and took Mr.. Somers's commission with
him back to Camden, where the new
Sheriff was sworn in this afternoon and
assumed the duties Of the office.
The Governor also appointed John G.
Schenck, of Rutherford, member of the
State Board of Arbitration, to succeed j.
Hull Browning, of Bergen, resigned.
The only member Of the Essex delega-
ton who was here was Edward D. Birk-
holz, of Orange.
