According to the Newark Sunday Call,
the Prohibition State Committee estimates
the vote for General Fisk at 1000. In
1883 the New Jersey Prohibitionists
polled 4, 153 votes for Governor. 6, l53 for
President in 1884 and in 1885. about 8 800
for Assemblymen. This ratio of increase
if continued would make their vote this
year about 10000, so that the figure
claimed cannot be considered extravagant.
The Nsw Brunswick Times says that in
HE speech at Newark the other night
Judge Green took up the report Of the
Legislative Committee of the Knights of
Labor and showed that he has voted for
every one of their bills reported fayorably
by the House Committee. On the surplus
resolution he voted aye, and did not dodge
the question. Though when it returned
from the Senate he was not present, he
would have voted against it had he been in
the House, because it had been emascu-
lated by the amendments attached to it.
The Paterson Press says of Judge Skin
ner, who is running against William Wal

afterwards came North and studied law.
For year or more, he was in practice in
this city. In May, 1877, he opened law
ettice in Hackensack and was made presid-
ing Judge of the Bergen County Courts.
For number of years he was Republi-
can, but his travels IN the South changed
his views.
Among tie nam rs mentioned fer the
Labor nominations for Assembly in this
district are Alderman John Seymour, As
SCISSOR John j. Denney, last years candi-
date, Alderman Jacob Burker, Henry B.
Stokes and Michael J.. McKiernan. The
report that there is opposition among the
Republicans in East Orange to the re-
nomination of AsseMblyman Potter is
wholly without foundation. A careful in
quiry among the leading Republicans Of
the township has developed the fact that
no one had heard whisper against Mr..
Potter. -[Orange Journal.
