IN THE ASSEMBLY D1sra1ors.
The Old Time Fight Promised in the Fifth,
the Situation Elsewhere.

There is going to be war this Fall in the
three strong Republican Assembly districts
in this city. In the First district, Assembly
man See neither seeks nor expects re-
nomination. He has had his two terms and
doesn't want any more of it. Ex-Justice
Seymour is the foremost candidate just
now, but there is a smell of powder in the
distant political atmosphere and he may be
disappointed. 1t is all along of the dis.
placement of Hon. George Fl. Farrier from
the County Colleetorship. If the decision
of the Supreme Court should be against
him, then his family thinks it would be the
right thing to let him be the Assemblyman
from the First. At the same time the in
fiuences that promise to back bin, have
promised ex-Justice Seymour to lend him
their support. They have promised him
before and gone back on him; and once he
had the nerve to get out and beat candi-
date they had forced through convention
against him. It is not impossible that he
will make an active fight against them this
Fall, if they try to dump him again. If he
does there will be martial music in the First
Assembly district s
In the Third Assembly district the
friends Of City Comptroller "Sam" Dickin-
son are urging him for another term. The
nomination is probably within his grasp if
he wants it but it is not settled that he
wants it, President DATE of the Board of
Finance is also talked of. There will be
no friction between these gentlemen prob
ably, but the other faction in the district
have got their war paint on. Dickinson

the other faction will probably have to con
tent themselves with rubbing their war
paint off again. Ex-Police Justice Peloubet
is talked of as candidate. Alderman
McAlvanah is being urged by some Demo-
Gratis in the district ;.others are pushing

The old fight will be on in the Fifth dis
trict again, and it looks as though, with the
right kind ola candidate there, the Demo-
Gratis will have more than fighting chance.
Assemblyman Romano is notaverse to run
ming again He is entitled to a second
term, but the men who backed him last
Fall are not so warm for him now as they
were Them and he has doubts himself
about obtaining denomination Frank
Cole is painting for a. fresh run, but the
managers at the Hudson City end of the
district say he can't get the Republican
nomination. John Shrope, son of Ex-
Freebooter Shrope, DIR. Bird and Druggist
Lowering, are among those who are talked
Of, as likely Republican candidates. Frank
Cole will probably run on theCiizen's ticket.
If he does he will probably only be ten
der for Democratic nominee. His chum,
Gator, is said to be figuring for the Demo.
cratic support. He may try to turn it over,
if he can get it himself, to Cole, and so en-
gineer Democratic endorsement for the
eloquent pill yender or Cole may step in,
as an Independent Citizens man, to ensure
Gators election. If Romano fails of re-
nomination and thinks it worth his while to
avenge himself upon the man who is nom
inatedin his stead, and Cole is in the field
as an Independent, good Democrat would
have fair chance Of pulling through.
In the Fourth district William @. Hep
penheimer is being pushed, and there is
talk of Thomas Jacobs, the Clerk Of the
Board of Works, Freebooter Lawson and
James j. Esterbronka, father of the Chair
man of the Democratic County Executive
Committee. VII IA aa
