ESSEX POLITICS.
Speculation Rife Already as to Con-
gresham, Senator and Sheriff.


NEWARK. June IS, 1890. The uncer-
tainty that marks the plans Of the big
political parties for the fail campaign is
marked Each side is seeking a course
for plain sailing, but neither has settled
upon pilots who might lead them in
safety through the reef-dotted channels
to victory. If anything, the Democrats
see their way much clearer than the Re
publicans.
Lending Democrats are considerably
worked up over rumor which they fear
may change the expected results in the
coming fight for State Senatorship. They
have been told that Herman Lehlbsch
was to refuse renomin alton as q congress
sional candidate aud content hifnsel IL
with running for State Senator ON his
party ticket against Michael 7. Barrett.
who will be the Democratic nominee.
There is something more than sup
position in the rumor," said leading
politician this afternoon. William j.
Sewell is getting his work IL and be has
picked the Congressman rs winner
There seems to be no dossht that Mr..
Lehlbach can get a renomiE 8tion for Con-
gress if he wants it. Elias NJ. Condit
wants the Congressional nomination,
and, failing to get it, it is said, would run
for Sheriff. To have him tackle the
Shrieyalty would be TO interfere with the
hopes of Henry NJ Doremus, whose
friends think he should be given the Re
publican nomination for Sheriff Mr..
Doremus made great light against Ed
win A: Hine three years ago. He will
probably secure the nomination this fall,
but he would prefer not to have Condit
worrying around the same bush.
MARTIN is OUT OF IT.
Senator Martin does not want renomi-
nation and it is doubtful whether he
could have it under any circumstances.
He fought openly In the Senate in the in
terest of sumptuary laws, which have
many foes in this county, aud that has
excited powerful opposition to him. Elk
Surrogate Mum and William r. Will
Jams are being spoken of for this office
by the Republicans. Both are willing,
Ex-Assembiyman Henry A. Potter would
like TO be State Senator SO as to render
service to his friend. William Walter
Phelps, as against General SeweIl, should
the opportunity arise. 1t would just suit
him, Too, to have his say In the halls of
Congress. Mr. Potter Is ambitious, and
is, moreover, thought to re jealous OF his
friend, Elias NJ. Condit. The laster's
supporters claim that rather than have
Condit defeat Lehlbach for the Congress
sional nomination two years ago and
and contributed to the defeat of Condit.
ABOUT HISE AND MUM.
Sheriff Hine was spoken of for Congress
as far back as last fall Joseph L.
Munn's friends might have q WORD or
two to say as to the Sheritf's aspiration.
Mum and East Orange helped to boost
Hine In the office of Sheriff but Hine and
Orange went back ON Mum when the
latter sought denomination for Surro-
gate. Orange then supported Schuyler
B. Jackson
A new and formidable aspirant for the
Shrfevalty is Lyman 4 Kane, whose
friends have started an early boom in his
interest
Congressman Lehlbach can bolt eau
cuses, kick party traces and oppose Re-
publican measures at will and yet be
elected to Congress right along,n said a
Republican politician this morning.
With the Democrats the Situation is
somewhat different. Thg nomination for
State Senator viii 20 to Michaet I. Bar
ret5- II the convention We're held today
he would not meet with material opposi-
ton. Assemblyman Z. H. Snyder is
talked OF for the Office, but he will prob
ably prefer TO spend another term in the
lower House.
Alderman John r. Hardin's name has
been mentioned also. but he would have
little hope of defeating Barrett in con-
yention. For Congress, Major Samuel,
klotz, DR. Thomas Dunn English, George
5. Duryee and ex-Mayor Hartford. Of
Orange, have been heard about. Klotz
and English have done some quiet work
in their respective interests already. Will
lam II. Brown aud Jacob Haussling are
the Shrieyalty candidates, with the
chances uncertain. Haussling's strong
run for Register makes him formidable
candidate, but the ex-Sheriff is a great
favorite. He has held but one office of
Importance as Democrat, and some who
contend that he ought to be satisfied
don't seem to appreciate this fact.
