CF'rom the NEWS correspondent.)

Jerseymen In this city, who have
learned of the invitation to Governor
Stokes to send the entire National
Guard here on October 16 for the un-
yelling of the Mcclellan statue think
that II would be an opportunity that
should not be lost. They do not. see
that any harm would come to the
state for one day by having the en-
tire national guard here, and it. will
be an opportunity for the state to
make a showing with the entire di-
vision that 1t may not have again in
some time. The sentiment is strongly
in favor Of sending the entire nation
al guard, rather than to send one
brigade.
