One of the first men | met last night
was Edward r. Stanton. Mr.. Stanton is
one of the shrewdest politician in Ho-
boken, II not in the county, and
fs immensely popular. He is
chairman OF the Common Council.

Democrat. He was prominently men
toned as candidate for the Shrievality
at one time, but as Davis has said, 'he
has too many independent IDEAS" he
could not secure the nomination.
What do you think of the ticket which
has been selectedP" | asked.
1T Mcdonald and McPhillips are to be
the nominees of the Democratic party
said he. II am in duty bound as Demo-
crat to support them, no matter what
my feelings in the matter may be.
OF course Mr.. McPhilipps owes his nomi-
nation to Bob Davis, and he will be under
great obligations to him.. He would be
return favors to Mr.. Davis. Mr..
McDonald's nomination | think a
good one, and / hope to see him

the county and nominate men with utter
