Even 10 this extremely hot weather
the fall campaign is discussed by the
political prophets. The election will
be quite an important one, as we have
stated before, as there are three AS
semblymen 20 elect, Sheriff, County
Collector, Surrogate, Auditor and
Steward Of the Almshouse, and of the
latter we would say this early in the
campaign, it would be an unwise pro-
ceeding to dispIace the present in
cumbent, whose duties are much bet
ter enacted by long experience, and as
he has always proved efficient and
faithful to his trust, lot him remain !.
1t is probable that the Republicans
will gain all the Assemblyman as last
year. There are good reasons to adj
vance for such result. They will
also make warm fight for the county
Offices and here comes "the tug OF
war;" The county is in the balance
and the ability Of either party to win
depends upon the popularity and abil-
ity Of the men nominated. Both par
ties seem very reticent, however, as to
what candidate they propose to tot
out, from the many williDgto accept,
but no doubt they will be strong msn.
The probabilities are, however, that
the Republican tisaet viii be f.:
Sheriff, N. w. @. Hayes, of Burling-
ton; Surrogate, Jos. II. Gaskill, Of
Northampton; Collector, Joseph Pow
ell, Of Lumberton. The Democratic
