OUR CONGRESSMAN Mr. Gardner’s Chances For Governoi

^Tbr Jjaw York Tim,** In itaKww Jersey

review says:—

"An Incident of Governor Murphy's reoept ion of the public men of the Flat* at the Faa Girt campgrounds ten day* ago ha* given aa much tmpetu*' to Gubarua* tonal talk An the Republican camp as the Davia-dmllh rupture baa In the Democratic camp. All last week the politician* rure trying to cipher out the significance •f the carriage arrangements at the Inspection of the regimental camp. Ex Senator William M. Johnson of Hacked >*ck, who la likely to go Into the State Convention with a formidable New Jersey support, was conspicuous bv bla absence. But John J. Gardner, the farmer Congre**man from the Second District, Senator FMward 8.Stoke*—rural South Jersey candidate*—were In large evldaoce on the occasion, and the talk baa quoutly been as to thefr relative standing with the powers that be. It w*a noticed that Mr. Stoke* was assigned. In the review, to a scat in the same coach with United State* Senator* Cean aad Dry den. while Mr. Asardner, unusually well, groomed, sat in the carriage, with GoferMurphy. Mr. Stokes'* friend* aav that as the Senator* are of higher rank than the Governor, his seating with them is an evidence of partiality for him. Mr. Gardner's friend* resort that * scat by tbc Gorernor’a side, In view of the fact thai the Governor is the official bead of tbr party In the State, is the greater distinction. The speculation* do not aeem to bi inch moment, however, seeing that Senator Dry dec, with shorn Stokes wa» posed, and Governor Murphy, Mr. Gardner’s carriage boat, are political partnerand all lea, and that the honors of leadership are no evenly divided between them that neither appears to outrank the otlw r in the connclls of the party. The striking suggestion of the incident is the aetiviiy Gardner i* displaying is his canvas* for the nomination. Yle baa modestly stood aside these many year* for other eager aspirant*, but this time hr appear* to be In real" right-down eariM-nl In hi* quest of the nomination. He will come to the front with a lon£ record of party service that has made him <arly a quarter of ■* century a commanding figure in Stale politics. Forth.several terms for which be represented Atlantic County In the State Senate he easily held the palni aa the most brilliant and eanatic orator who had ever gained aaaat in that chamber. Withal he baa anlnexhaustable fund of humor that makes him of the most gtnlal and charming of •ximpanloos. Even the plain country folks of bla district afford him text* for an endless Series of quaint character sketch** and fantastic neighborhood yarns that be dellgbta to spin for the amuaemfaut of fats intimate*. For reasons of his own that are wholly creditable to him, be baa not liOeeu to take abowy pert in the debates in Congress, but be la universally recogized in Washington aa one of the most valued and sought and bust informed men iuibe House of Representatives. Hia exposure, aa Chairman of the State Sencommittee of investigation, of the Hudson county ballot-box staffer*, year* ago, made bis ns me a household word lu North Jersey, aa it has always been iu South Jeraey.-aiwl pi-ged the way for the triumphs the ILi'.ibi.cau Party has ait achieved in the Stale. He is not easily stirred Into political activity, but when be Is aroused be ukes rank as one of tb» adroit aad resourceful and tactful of campaigners. ' He la an easy »nJ^ quiet worker wh A prefers to capture the citadels of politics by surprise to taking them by storm, and bis first thrust In the Gubernatorial eaapaign l* awaited by all the public men of the Commonwealth with keen interest.*’

The throngs of visitor* who tire here have gradually been coming into the place since the season opened, although the pinnade of the summer season 1* not usually reached until the first Fpndsy in August, there appear* to be a* many people here today as has been here at times in the height of the past summer seasons. % While a complaint i* beard from along the coast of the absence of many expected guest*, owing to the peculiar .tber conditions, Cape May doe* nut n to be affected and it makes no difference a* to the weather upon the regul rCspe May summer visitor. There is a class of people wdo, when once in the habit of coming to the reaort seem to be unable to break it, and consequently the pleasure* here, or rather the associations, make life enjoyable and create a desire upon the part of the visitor to come here season after season. a result of the healthy and steady boom which Cape May ba* taken upon itself within the past two years there has come an activity in real estate which is quite nolicable in the transfer of property. During the past fortnight there has been an increase of more thai’ one hundred per cent, of mo vines and there seem* to be a general activity among those who are cow looking for ' le investment* here. That a revival has about reached Cape May 1* evidenced by the fact that it has been announced during the week that two blocks of property, one surrounded by New Jersey, Trenton, Beach and Pittsburg avenues, and the other by Beach, New Jersey, Baltimore and Pittsburg avenue*, have been purchased, on each of which 'there will be erected a million dollar hotel. IL has been known for some time that there were two companies being organized to erect modern hotel* at Cape May. In addition to this, if is believed that* handsome structure will be erected in the place of the Marine Villa, which was burned in March last. Should a hotel be erected there it will occupy half the block, fating the ocean, on the corner of Beach avenue, Howard street and Stockton
