PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has given 1t
to be understood through Speaker Can
non of Illinois and Senator Dryden of
New Jersey, that he will in no wise
attempt to select his running mate or
interfere with the freedom of the Chi
cago convention in making such choice
as the majority may deem best for sec
ond place on the national ticket.
The great secrecy surrounding the
conference, which had been formally
arranged for, and the further fact that
Representative Hit Of Illinois, who
is an avowed candidate for the vice
presidency, and Speaker Cannon,
whose friends fear may be the victim
OF a vice presidential stampede, were
to be among those present, gave the
affair unusual political significance.
1t was felt that a definite conclusion
might be reached upon the question
as to whether Mr.. Hit would with
draw and leave aclear field for Senator
Fairbanks, who would take the nomin.
alton IL rendered by reclamation,
But the president has caused it to be
understood that he will not interfere
and Representative Hit declares thai
he will go into the convention witt
several hundred votes.

FLANAGAN SAYS CLEVELAND rs
NOT IN 1T.

At a meeting of the New Jersey
delegates to the Democratic national
convention held in Jersey City on
Friday under call issued by Robert
Davis, either in person or by letter.
seventeen out of the twenty-four who
go to st. Louis were put on record at
the meeting for Parker, and thus. I'M
der the unit rule, the vote Of New
Jersey will be cast for Parker on the
first ballot.
Former Congressman Flanagan, who
is stated to be Grover Cleveland's most
intimate friend In New Jersey, took a
leading part in the meeting. He as
sured the delegates that Mr.. Cleveland
would never be a candidate. He visits
Mr.. Cleveland almost weekly, is a fell
low fisherman and hunter, and they
have interests together at Cape Cod.
1t was for Mr.. Flanagan that Grover
Cleveland two years ago consented to
make the only campaign speech he has
made since he left the White House.
/" If Mr.. Cleveland were candi-
date Mr.. Flanagan told the dele
gates 'sno one would be for him as
strongly as /. can say upon the au-
thority of Mr.. Cleveland that he is not
only not a candidate, but be would
not take it.
" / said to him 6 Mr.. Cleveland, /
know you are not a candidate, but
would you accept the nomination if it
were offered to you?"
Mr.. Cleveland replied: Absolutely
no. Under no circumstances would /
take the nomination. E"
This would seem to settle the mat
ter. But, then, Mr.. Flanagan may be
mistaken.

THERE seems nn. good reason why |

THERE seems no good reason why
the pay of the county board OF registry
and elections should not be increased
to $50 per year, as was requested at
the meeting Of the board Of freehold
ers on Tuesday. The compensation of
800 per year was fixed some years ago,
since which time the number Of cleo
ton districts has been increased, the
work of the board has been added to
by changes in the law and by the
primary election act. Last year fifteen
formal meetings were held in addition
to much extra work done outside of
the meetings. In other counties, of
the same class as Morris county the
pay is more than double what is paid
N this county The duties OF the
members of the board are very respon-
sible, and the compensation should be
adequate.

A MASSACHUSETTS man, who has
made an immense fortune by invent
ing SHREDDED wheat biscuits, has paid a
quarter of a million of dollars for a
large farm near Baltimore, where he
will establish an Industrial Science
school for both sexes. The estate will
be divided into small farms of from
ten to eighty acres, and one or more
tenants will be placed on each: but
the young farmer must be self-helpful
and not look for outside assistance.
He will have to pay his own taxes.

way by portrait by Professor Cell.
You will find it excellent. Good judges

THE Democratic party has so long
been under the domination of leaders,
that it's organs do not seem to be able
to understand the principles and make
up of the Republican party. In ma
tional politics as we'll as in this State
they have predicted the disruption Of
the party because of the deaths Of
Mckinley, Reed, Hanna, Sewell and
other strong men and say there are no
leaders to take their places. This line
of comment shows defective compre-
hension Of the basis of the Republican
party, which is principle, sound and
virile principle; and that, as history
teaches, may always be trusted to bring
capable leaders to The front. States
men pass away, some in the fitness OF
years, and others at the post OF duty,
but the vacancies are suitably filed as
circumstances may demand. Republic
canism is a system Of upright, enlight-
ened government, not an organization
resting on the personal qualities, how
ever great, of individuals. At it's
birth the Republican party knew moth
ing Of it's ablest leader, but in six years
singled him out and made him the war
president. 1t was the intuition of the
American people, acting through the
medium of the best party, that, in a
remarkably short period, discovered
Abraham Lincoln and placed the helm
Of the nation in his hands. No party
that is truly great, that represents the
high cause of truth and civilized prog
ress, will ever lack leaders. No such
gap can exist in the onward march of
mankind. But a party that has no
issues can have no leaders except such
as war with each other. Effective
leadership in a party at least presup-
poses unity on principles. On that
score Republicans are content; but
how is it with the opposition?

The Democrats have elected $50
delegates out of the 994 which will
comprise the National Convention and
Parker has 202 of them. This is more
than any other candidate has, but it is
a long way from the necessary two
thirds. II he should get all of the 93S
delegates yet to be elected, Parker
would still be short of enough to NOM
mate. The outlook is still for dark
horse and the chances seem to favor
Grover Cleveland in spite of the effort
being made by Tammany to make
Mayor Mcclellan candidate to STAN
pede tired convention after ineffect-
ual balloting. Cleveland is in evidence
in many interviews and explanations
and there is only one possible reason
for his activity He is a candidate in
reserve.

the high speed trolley road at the

and important. 1t shows that the
project is feasible and would be a pay

show that there is something substar-
tial behind the movement and II prop
