THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY.
The contests at the Republican primaries
tomorrow promise to be lively in all the
wards and there appears to be no end OF
candidates. Last evening all sorts of rumors
with reference to combinations were afioat.
AS the nomination by the convention is
equivalent to election the fight for the dele
gates will be strong. The contest for the
shrievalty will be very exciting, but the
present outlook is that w. E. Hale, the in
cumbent, will be renOminated. The Office of
Superintendent of Schools, since the increase
in salary by the last Legislature, is a plum
coveted by several. The contest will prob
ably be narrowed down to p. NJ. Fisher, the
incumbent. F. NJ. Campbell and George w.
Frick. Mr.. Fishers friends claim that he
has been an efficient officer and has worked
hard on the small salary, aud should have
another term at least at the increased COM
penSatiOn.
