County Republicans have completed
their ticket, and they consider it is the
strongest list of candidates they have
ever had. Adolph Ernest. OF Toms River,
is again q candidate for election to the
House of Assembly. He is a man who
took good care last year of all the inter-
ests of oystermen and fishermen of the
district, and this is one of the principal
occupations of the people OF the county.
John Hagaman, who is the candidate for
Sheriff. is a native of the county. and
comes from good old Ocean county stock.
Salem county promises warm light.
The Democrats are sure of victory, yet
the Republicans are confident. One of
the State officials few days ago hur-
riedly left the State House and fastened
to Salem to tell the local Democratic
managers that they must work, and that
they would have all the help necessary.
Still there is no fear tor the result. Bets
are now being made, with short odds
against Richard L. Starr. the Republican
candidate.
In Burlington county the air is full of
rumors, due to the talk of some Republi-
cans who are trying to throw cold water

existed between General SeweH and the
present candidate have not been amicably
settled. Those who have heretof ore
represented him in the county are ent hui
siastic over the Democratic candidate. 1t

this county will be two out of three The

Beverly and Burlington city. Mitchell

year, and refusing to vote for the increase
of appropriation to the State Board of
Agriculture.
NOMINATED WITHOUT A PENNY.
The nomination OF Isaac Nichols in the
Bridgeton district of Cumberland county
was one of the political sensations of the
week. Ex-senator Nichols, for many
years conspicuous in tine affairs of the
county, became poor and wanted the
Brldgeton post office. He got it, but it
was then taken from him. He went in
and worked up the sympathy Of the
people and without penny secured a
very fattering nomination. There are
about one hundred and fifty Republicans
him. On the other hand he has had the
assurance of near three hundred Demo-
Gratis that they will. The district last
year had a Republican majority of 603.
When Allen McDermott, the present
Democratic chairman, of the State Com
mittee, was asked what he thought of the
outcome in Monmouth county he shook
his head and said the tangle was too
much for him to unravel. He expressed
doubt about the election of a Democratic
Senator.
