The Republican PriInnries-BIg Vote Poll
ed-GeneraI News Notes and Personals.
The Republican convention OF phi
mary election passed off nicely on Sat
urday; the hours for voting were from
8 to Z p. NJ. Considering the Indifference
with which such conventions are usually
regarded, the interest manifested in the
nomination of candidates was intense,
such as has never before been known
here. The day was all that could be de-
sired, and the hard "hustling" of the
opposing aspirants surpassed the work
Of the most energetic candidates at past
spring and tall elections, and the voters
became very much enthused. The most
interest was centered on the candidates
for Mayor, NJ. G. Mitchell and Jesse W.
Phoebus. Mr., Phoebus, who is quite II
young man, with but u few years expe-
rience in political work, polled good
vote against his more experienced Oppo-
nent, who has filed the office Of Mayor
for two terms, from 1882 TO 1886. Fol-
lowing is the vote po|led in the different
