that he is Democrat, certain, if heruns,
to carry the district. 1t is more than likely
that Shea will be defeated in the third dis
trict; Democrat will be elected in the
second of course, and the election of
Windecker in the fifth would lose the Re-
pubicans the control of the Fire Board.
The ''Citizens" wouldn't have that, for
anything. So they refuse to endorse Wind
ecker, and are evidently holding back till
they learn whom the Republicans will NOM
mate up there with view of endorsing
him.
President Cleveland has given the public
another surprise and the politicians an adj
ditional shock. His nominations have been
sound as to the ability of his selections and
have met the public approval, while of the
Democracy of the gentlemen named there
can be no question. 1t will be something
of sensation for Europe to find this coun-
try represented by brains instead of dollar
marks, but the country smiles approval
and seems to think it can stand all the
pressure that can be put OF in this direct
ion.
Governor Carroll is one of the great
directors to Higgins and has put himself
on record to that effect Now Higginss
friends show that in 1876 Governor Carroll
appointed Higgins to one of the best places
in his gift, which is bad predicament for
the gentleman in whom is now conferred all
the blue blood of the CAROLS to be caught
in. Before Governor Carroll fires his politi-
cal gun again he will probably take the pre-
caution to see that it isn't loaded at both
ends.
Before Officer Gallagher attempts to skate
on rollers again he will probably deem it
advisable not only to mend the leg he broke
at the Pavonia Rink the other evening,
but to have pair of skates built to order.
His fracture of his limb was doubtless due
to the fact that he buekled No. 10
skate onto his No. IA boot. Then, too, a
roller skate is not the orthodox kind of
skate for policeman to indulge in.
A Western farmer recently hung himself
in his orchard The poor fellow had prob
ably taken advantage of the recent "cold
snap" to look into the condition of his trees
and was driven to desperation by the
failure of the peach crop, which some Of
the papers have already begun to tell about.
This scare will probably last until the time
arrives for relating the narrowing details of
the failure of last Winters ice crop.
A reverend gentleman named Murray,
who is connected with Methodist Church
in Newark, made the remarkable point, in
a sermon last Sunday against Sunday news
papers, that the Sunday papers cheat the
readers of the Monday papers out of much
interesting, news. Thtre's no doubt about
that The man who fails to read the Sun
DAY TATTLER misses many piece of infor-
nation that he would be the richer and the
happier and the better for having.
No wonder HobokeR is alarmed at the
prospect of bill increasing the number of
police. If the city had few more officers
like the one who permitted the Smith
Brothers burglary, with an explosion that
awakened half the people, the thieves
might be expected to come back some
moonlight night and carry off the town.
The Republicans are bowling that Presi-
dent Cleveland is Southern Fiend. +"
But just wait till he recalls LoDgstreet and
Mosby from their little posts and then the
same papers will anathenatize him as a
sc Northern Terror" 1t all depends upon
whose bull is gored. And these are "par-
doned rebels" They were pardoned as
soon as they joined the Republican party

The removal of the State Capitol to
Newark has been talked of at times ever
since Washington crossed the Delaware,
but Trenton still holds the fort, and is
likely to for some time to come. In the
meantime Newark can take it out on
the Democratic policemen she can't get
rid Of
Senator Brinkerhoff rendered notable
service to this county in SO crippling Fish's
plank road bill that the Essex Senator
withdrew it. HUDSON County has no de-
sire to be saddled with the expense of main~
tanning road from which Newark will
derive all the benefit.
The Newark Press asks "Why not
annex Harrison to this city," Why not,
indeed? Harrison is more part of Newark
than of Hudson County, and if it were
legally made part of that city, as it is in
fact, it might be good thing all round.
Nothing the matter with . Sunset" Cox
either-is there? His Democracy is un-
questioned, SO is his ability. The only
wonder is that such man should consent
to be buried alive in Turkey.
Blaine wants to run the postmaster busi-
ness in his town. That is the height of his
ambition now. Editor Morton is his pet
antipathy.
This has been the coolest March for
hundred years. The records of Princeton
