NEW-JERSEY. NEWS. Many New-Jersey Republicans feel that they have not only an available but a formidable candidate for the Vice-Presidency in the per? son of Attorney General John W.

Grlggs. The mention of his name In connection with the nomination In The Tribune about three weeks ago calleci forth earnest expressions in his favor on the part of prominent party leaders and newspapers, and showed that they would heartily advocate the claims of the State and of the Attorney General at the next National Convention of the Republican party, and It was also made clear by the expressions of rep? resentative Republicans of other States that Mr. Griggs possessed strength ln other sections, DOtably In Pennsylvania and in that part of the West through which he had travelled with President McKinley, winning golden opinions by speeches. Th? most formidable difficulty In the way of New-Jersey'? ambition that Mr. Grlggs should take the place of Garret Hobart Is New York's claim that It has a lieu upon the Vlce Presldency, and the fact that New-York, by aiding Philadelphia to capture the convention, had scour? the promise of that State's sup? port for New-York's candidate for dent.

However, one of the foremost leaders ln Pennsylvania ls not so sure that this combina? tion will make a New-York man the Vlce Presldcnt. He expects that New-York will find It difficult to unite upon a man, and that the Weat will make a strong fight for the nomina? tion, and he thinks that the lines will be drawn so sharply that neither New-York nor the West will hold a winning hand, or show sufficient strength on the first ballot to capture the nomi? nation. Then, according to this politician, who i-i a shrewd New--Jersey will be able to secure the support of Pennsylvania for At? torney General Grlggs. Wisconsin will probably break away from the West to the New-Jersey man. and other States will follow, making the nomination of Mr.

Grlggs possible. Therefore, in the opinion of this Pennsyl vanlan, tt will be good politics for New-Jersey to take good care of the Grlggs boom, to treat it seriously and earnestly, not In the light of a compliment to a popular and able Jerseyman, but with the definite purpose of making the Vice-Presidency the next advancement for the man who has won honor and reflected credit upon the Stat? In each office which he has oc? a member of the Assembly, as a State Senator, as Governor, and now as Attor? ney General. COL. PEELPS 70 RE A DELEGATE.
