antecedents. The discreditable career
of J. Hebert Potts at Trenton is
known to every voter in all its de-
tails. Scores of bitter republicans
will not vote for him. Mr.. Aymar, on
the contrary, has strong social and
business backing. He is well known
and well liked in his district, and
scores of republicans will vote for him
on purely personal grounds
Thus, we believe, all the doubtful
districts are bound to elect Democrats.
All the others will elect Democrats,
too. We expect a solid Democratic
delegation from this county.
AS for Essex, the Republican claims
are almost equally absurd. The
Democracy will elect. at the lowest
computation, six Assemblymen. Ac-
cepting-for. the sake of argu-
ment merely--the Republican es-
Inmates for the rest of the State,
this would make the Assembly con-
sist of "a Democrats to &c Republi-
cans. That is the worst the Democ
racy has to fear, and it may stand 36
to "a.
There is every reason to feel joyous
over the general outlook. Every
Democrat should go into the fight Of
the next two days with the most Wig
orous eagerness. There is a glowing
victory ahead.

The Assembly Contest.


The highest plurality that General
Grubb can come to the Passaic Bridge
with, according to his most enthusiasts
tic friends, is 5000. If that be true,
Leon Abbett's plurality for the State
will be from two to six thousand. Our
own belief is that General Grubb will
get about 4, 900 plurality in the out
lying counties, so that the State will
go Democratic by from four to eight
thousand. Perhaps the Democratic
advantage may be much greater.
There is much reason to think SO.
But, at worst, Leon Albeit is bound
to carry the State by several thousand
and nobody knows that better than
the Republican managers. Therefore
the struggle for General Grubb is
kept up as a mere matter of politeness,
and the real efforts of the party are
concentrated upon the Assembly dis
tricts where the Railway Republican
combination sees a desperate hope of
buying victory. The Senate is very
doubtful. Errors have been made
in the Democratic nominations in one
or two counties, and it seems as if, by
the liberal use of railway money, the
majority in that body might be cap
tured by the enemy. This is of course
the primary object of the combine"
the protection Of the corporations
from taxation and State supervision
being the object above all things
aimed at by General Sewell and his
clique.
As to the Assembly, it is hard to see
how it can possibly be rendered Re-
publican, even by the most fragrant
bribery and corruption. Those who
make it that way, count on such wild
impossibilities as the election of five
Republican Assemblyinen from this
and five from Essex county.
We would like to know how this
could come to pass. Let us look at
the situation in this comfy for in
stance. Putting all prejudice aside,
there are only three districts which
even Republicans can call doubtful.
They are the Third, Fourth and Fifth,
and we believe the Democratic can
didates will win in every one.
In the Third, it can hardly be pre-
tended that Mr. G. D. j. Noelke will
detract seriously from the strength of
the regular Democratic nominee. On
the other hand, the Republicans are
fatally divided. Mr.. Watts and Mr..
Midlige are cutting each others
throats. How can anyone tofture
Republican victory out of that situa-
tionf
The hopes of the Republican candi-
date in the Fourth district are found
ed wholly on the injury that the no
torious Bill" Kern may be expected
to do Colonel Heppenheimer- But,
in our Judgment, for every heeler of
the old Board of Works who votes for
Kern, two Independent citizens will
vobs for Colonel Heppenheimer,
simply as means of endorsing
the New Charter reform. The
relations of Mr.. Peck to the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Railway Company are an open scan
dial in view of the fact that he should
vote upon the matter of their back
taxes in case of his election. Alto
gether the situation is one to cali for
the triumphant success of Colonel
Representatives. if there is any virtue
IN the ballot We, at least, see no
reason to doubt Colonel Heppen-
heimer's triumphant victory.
As to the Firth district, Mr.. Ayman
the Democrat, has opposed TO him a
man OF VIGOROUSLY bad political
