1he governor reminded his audi
ence that he was present in the same
! Opera house, when Mr.. Scully re-
8 ceived the nomination for congress
two summers ago. How pleased
every one was" said the governor,
over the nomination of such a sterl-
ing fellow; and | remember what a
distinct part the election of Mr..
: Gully played in that glorious cam
paign of 1910" The governor be-
lieves that Mr.. Scully will be re-
elected. and that he will be all-pow-
ertui in he councils of the House
during the coming sessions, because
of his large business interest in New

One of the laughable incidents of
the evening occurred when Mr.. viii

husiast sitting in a front row., who
said: what the matter with call

smiled his acknowledgment of
thanks for the implied compliment.

policies. The Long Branch crowd
was very demonstrative, but during

few minutes at the Long Branch
meeting, before the Introduction OF

rousing cheer; it was Mr.. Hughes
first visit to Monmouth county during
the present campaign.
