NOTES OF THE CONTEST.
Brief Election Dispatches from all
parts Of the State

contest in Atlantic makes the complexion
of the Senate doubtful. When he ran
three years ago, Gardner. the Republican
candidate, was elected by only forty-eight
majority. On the face Of the returns re-
ceived last night he was $50 behind his
1886 vote. That indicated his defeat by
French, the Democratic candidate. But
at the headquarters of the Republican
State Committee, it was Claimed that
Gardner had pulled through after all, and
at the Democratic State Committee rooms
not enough information was at hand to
enable them to set up a counter claim. III
the canvass OF the votes should show
Gardner TO nave been elected, the Senate
will stand eleven to Ten. Ii the canvass
shows the election of French, why the
Senate will be Democratic in the same
proportion.
wERTs' GREAT FIGHT
If the Democrats succeedto the control
of the Senate, it will be due TO the gallant
fight in Atlantic, and President Wert,s
in Morris against great odds. Mi. Werts
was not only chosen to the Senate
against a handsome majority, but he also
assisted Governor Albeit TO u down
Grubb's majority to an inappreclable ng-
ure, If they did not destroy it altogether
in that stronghold. One of the
that Governor Grubb should have carried
by a majority running up into the hum
dreds, he carried by a single vote, and
another county he carried by only "a
majority.
OF all the counties in the State Camden
alone showed anything like a Republican
gain. Governor Albeit, however. made
large gains not only over his vote OF three
years ago., but also on the Presidential
vote of last year, and his majority IN the
State will probably run to 10000 by the
time the vote shall have been ainassed.
Ufia 1h1foo q. onrarala him r SM Yhp
figures received at Democratic State
headquarters indicated about 5000 for
him. The majorities reported in special
dispatches to THE JERSEY CITY NEWS,
with the dispatches. will be toand below.
THE ASSEMBLY CONTESTS.
The Assembly results present some not
able features. The Democrats swept
Essex county. and besides electing seven
of the ten Assemblymen elected a Demo
cratic Surrogate there and q Democratic
Director-at-Large. Little Leonard Kali
isch laid out the gra~ndiloquent Wayne
Parker, even after Parker had written q
Ter to the voters begging them, in heav-
ensname, to elect him. In Middiesex
county Kane, the father of the Kane Aus
tralian voting bill, who, having failed
to achieve Democratic denomination took
an Independent and Republican nomina-
ton, was beaten.
Senator Werts' matchless fight for Nor
ris county is offset by Foster M. Voor-
hees' fight for an Assembly seat in
Union. Mr.. Voorhees, was the Republic
can leader of the last Assembly. Mr..
Marsh was a leader on the other side.
Both resided in Union and the Legisla-
ture changed them right about as to dis
tricts. Voorhees, was set off for a strong
Democratic district. He hesitated about
accepting a denomination, but was fully
persuaded and he wins the fight. An
Elizabeth priests crusade against sa-
looms 10 said tn haya asqjSfpd him matter
tally in his fight.
POINTS ABOUT THE COUNTY.
In the county some surprising results
are achieved. Governor Abbett's major
ity is an unprecedentedly large one. Mr..
Bruggemann, the candidate for Director
at-Iarge, came nearest to being beaten,
and he not very close. The Kern kickers
sold out everything for votes for county
Offices. In the Fifth district Herb Potts
beat Aymar after a hard fight, and last
night he was observing it us something of
u coincidence, that he had when he first
ran a majority of $40, and had yesterday
a majority of 2T9. One of the most dis
consulate of pictures is that which Kern
presented when he slinked off home be-
fore q vote had been counted, conscious
that his votes and Peck1s did not together
equal Heppenheimer'S.
Denny Gallagher gave ex-Postmaster
Kelly a hard rub in the Seventh district
for the Assembly. and both claim to have
been elected. THE JERSEY CITY NEWS
figures and schedules show the election
of Mr.. Kelly.
In the Sixth district the fight was even
between Erwin and Smith, than between
Erwin and Donnell and Erwin vaults into
This seat.
