benefit to Senator Brown if he yielded
to the demands of his friends and per-
mitted the announcement of his name
as q candidate.
Chancellor Pitney Spoken OF.
1t was said that if Mahlon Pitney,
the chancellor, should permit his name
to be used in connection with the
gubernatorial contest that he would
be one of the strongest candidates for
the nomination. 1t was thought. how
ever, that he would hardly be willing

passed the required examination to the
exclusion of others who passed the ex-
animation with high averages.

Let Senator Kean name C. Asa Fran
els as collector of the port of Perth
Amboy," said Sheriff Hetrick the other
day. THAT will settle the fight in Mid
dleseX, aud give Monmouth a chance
to hold that office for a time" The
suggestion was mad half-humorously
and yet halt seriously. "Middlesex is
having a hard time to agree Upon a
man for the place, and it would seem
that the claims of Monmouth might
have some consideration" Apropos of
the relationship situation there is an
impression that Senator Kean will
finally name Robert Carson. of New
Brunswick, for another term.
