LOCAL POLITICS.

There will be an important meeting in
Newark tonight of the Legislative Com
mittee of the knights of Labor. 1t is
understood that the action of the COM
nittee at the meeting held last week, in
not endorsing either Albeit or Grubb,
has not met with the approval of some of
the organizations, and the matter will be
brought up again for discussion. Another
thing to be considered is the nomination
of Assemblymau Kane on an independent
ticket. The Democrats of Middlesex re-
fused to give Mr.. Kane a denomination,
and this has made his workingmen
hackers angry. The meeting will be q
lively one. A large delegation is going
to be present from this city.
The Republican County Committee
last night endorsed, without dissenting
voice, the mongrel ticket made by the
twin conventions at Hoboken on Thurs
day last. The Organization Committee
was instructed to arrange a series Of
mass meetings at such places and at such
times as in Its Judgment would be most
advantageous to the success of the Re
publican campaign, and committee was
provided for, but not announced, to take
measures to secure as far as possible an
honest count at the coming election.
A meeting of the O'Neill Association
was held last night at the club rooms,
The regular Democratic ticket was unani-
mously endorsed, and then Surrogate
O'Neii, Thomas McKeon, William Ger
man, John P. Mccormack, Edward
Green, John H. Sullivan, Michael
Mullone, Owen Nolen, John Bonnell,
Lamp Inspector Conk and Thomas Cum
mings were elected members. At the
meeting to be held October 25 the district
nominees will be endorsed and arrange
ments made TO have ball at Morris Hail,
on Barrow street, January |.
The Prohibition County Committee met
last night at Mr.. Gallagher's residence on
Newark avenue, and made up a full
county ticket. President Joel W. Brown
presided. Arrangements were made for
the holding of a mass meeting at the Cen
tenary M. g. Church, on Pavonia avenue,
which will be addressed by President
Dickey, of the National Prohibition Com
mittee, on October "a.
