Should Leon Abbett, tbe Democratic candidate for Governor of New Jersey, chanoe to get on a certain Broadway horse car in New York and catch a glimpse of tbe driver, he would 'be astonished and probably have au inward sense of pleasure and of gratified re vengo, for If be got on this car and saw its driver he would recognize Ex Speaker Will lam M.

At the same time, he said, if tbey desired to make a contribution to their respective ward committees he would not interfere, but be at tbe same time added that tbey were at perfect liberty to do as they chose." While the Republican organization has purchased 20,000 needed tax receipts, it Is known that the Democrats have pot purchased any, exeept in Individual Instances. Tbe treasury of tbe Democratic city committee Is not filled to overflowing, and at the last moetlng of the committee on organization it was decided to let eacb ward, in the matter of lax receipts, take care of itself. EXPECTED CHANGES.

The Republican leaders generally believe that there will be some changes made in tbe Federal offices of thisolty during the coming week. The knowing ones are of the opinion that Thomas J.

Some of the employes Bald that Mr. Fox would more than likely be nave given nun a check to help mm aiong.

He wanted another check, so tho story goes, but it was refused. Perhaps the refusal to duplicate the contribution first turned Balrd against Abbett.

The game from the opening play was one sided, and had it not been the first of the season would have possessed no interest for the spectators. Play was started at 8.18, Pennsylvania guarding the east goal and having the ball in her possession. The first run was made by Thayer, who with but little opposition car tied the ball into the opponent's goal, and Hill kicking the goal made the score 6 0. Swarthmore then brought the ball out, but quickly lost it to the 'Varsity on four downs, and the latter, taking advantage of this, in sideof eight minutes had another touch down. Swarthmore repeated the operation of losing tbe ball, resulting in another goal for Pennsylvania, by brilliant run.

The wearers of the red again essayed 'to advance the ball, but in the scrimmage which followed the tackling of their half back it One of the main reasons why there is so much apathy is generally attributed to the and eventually defeat Abbott Balrd was unable to give that close attention to the made Sneaker In order to et him entirely in duties of bis position wblcb bas been bis fact that there is but one State ofhee to fill, the deal, although all his committees were ar custom.

The Democrats are apparently so hopelessly divided by factionalism in this city on questions of policy in the State in an effort of the friends of the respective Gubernatorial candidates to secure control of the organization of the counties in order to secure the delegates for the State Convention that there appears to have been so so far no real effort made to make even a respectable showing of the Democratic vote.

The fight in Clearfield county for the election of delegates to next year's Republican State Convention, which ended on Tuesday last, shows that the fight on that side has really narrowed down to a vigorous contest between Adjutant General Hastings and Senator Delamater.

As Clearfield adjoins Centre county the belief was general that Hastings would win the delegates, but as his ticket succeeded in winning by only one vote, it goes to show that despite General Hastings' talked of popularity his friends will have to keep in continuous fighting trim if they hope Paris, London, T.

Special Telegram to Thk Times. Princeton, Octobers. The first foot ball game here of the season was a hard fought one between Lehigh and Princeton this afternoon.

Although both teams are muob lighter than last year, there was plenty of snap In the play. Professor Wilcox, of Lehigh, umpired, and F. S. Miller, '90, of Princeton, was tho roferee. Play began at 2.40, with Lehigh In possession of the ball, but losing It on a fumble, regaining It on four downs.

Princeton then gained the ball on a fumble and by a run of thirty yards by Ames, a kick and runs by Poe, Lewis and Black the bail was forced within a foot of Lehigh's goal line and Black made the first touch down for Princeton, scoring 4 for Princeton In twenty minutes. After this Lehigh's work was more snappy, and they were able to keep the ball near the centre of the field, and several times brought it within fifteen yards of the Princeton goal. Coates made a brilliant run, gaining seventy yards for Lehigh, but was brought back for off side play. Black muffed a free catch of Hutchinson's kick, and lost thirty yards. Lehigh gained thirty five yavds by a run of Dashlell, and time was called with tbe ball in the centre of the field.

Play was resumed at 8.19 and, by the use of the trick, Poe scored a touch down iu ten seconds. From this Ames kicked a goal, thus dicates that she is located In Connecticut.
