To date only two candidates have really indicated their intention of running for the Assembly, aud a like number have annonneed themselves for the office of Surrogate, the only two county offices to be filled at Uie elecUnu this

For Assembly, Mark Lake, of Ocean City, i* backed by the regular Republican organization, while present At blymau Corsviiie E. Stille is making a run lor re-election, hacked by the Brown-miller-Kigor force*. Paul Carroll, ol Denniaville, is Uie regular candidate for Surrogate, while Jas. Hoffman, of West Cape May, is playing a lone hand, not yet having been taken up by Uie insurgent organization. Charles H. Clouting, who was spoken of as a candidate for Assembly, made hi* position clear in a eialemem to Urn Times, over his signature, on Thursday morning, which reads: “It wa* my inlenUon to become a candidal* for Uis Assembly of New Jersey, but 1 cannot spare the Ume to make the neceaaaay canvaas and consider it no use to run uuleea 1 can devote a lot of Unit to the campaign." William H. Bright, of Wildwood, former Coanly Bhenff, has also signified a naukering for Uie Aaaemhtymauship, hut has as yet not official'y announced himBelt. Ilia candidacy is not as vet taken

Making Active Campaign Ibe candidates |who have decland themselves are losing no Ume and propoee to make Uie best use of every mmole ol Uie ninety-odd days that remain before the primary election, September ISth. Assemblyman Stille is certain of victory oyer his Republican opponent, and Mark Lake is equaiir confident that be will be returned to the Aeseiuhly after hi* absence of one year. Down Wiidwood way a litUe comedy i the Republican ranks is being played, i that one of Uie rigbt-bami bowers of Uie Browntuiller-Kigor forces is aspiring for county leadership, even as D. Milei Rigor himself is. Uulssa tfie aspirations ol the two can be palclinj up there likely to he a division in Uie lurces, mi: two leaders.
