CANDIDATES AND DISTRICTS

It was thought that at the coming cleo
show the real Democratic majorities in
the Ninth and Tenth Assembly Districts
But such Will not be the case. In the
Ninth district it Is doubtful If Freenolder
Coyle. the regular Democratic nominee,
will have an opponents The Republican
nomination is going a.begging No Re-
publican cares to sacrifice himself. In the
Tenth district there will be Repub
Iican nominated. and there may be four
candidates in the field. Although the
election of Cornelius J.. Taheh. the regu-
lar Democratic nominee, is assured, his
vote may be decreased somewhat IL
Patsey Londrigan is a candidate.
The new districts, the Ninth and Tenth,
are laid out with skill. The Ninth dis
trict is composed principally Of the Hobo
ken portion OF the old Seventh district.
It comprises the entire First and Fourth
wards Of Hoboken, the first election dis
trict Of the Second ward aud that portion
OF the Third ward east of Park avenue
aud south of Sixth street. In q strict
party contest the Democratic managers
figure from 500 to LOCO Democratic plur-
ality in this district Unless the Demo-
Gratis ere hopelessiy divided, there is not
ever being sent TO the Legislature.
ENTIRELY HARMONIOUS.
And the Democratic party IN this dis
tf1ct was never more harmonious. The
Democratic leaders reside iu it, and they
are a most compact set of individuals.
The Fourth ward Is looked after by Mayor
Edward Fl. Stanton and Freebooter WIZ
liam H. Ellis. Two more sagacious poll
ticians can hardly be found any where.
They are not arrogant or domineering IN
their rule. and that Is one of the secrets
of their success. They are Democratic,
and both of them are known personally
to every voter in their baiiiwick The
ity for Stanton when he was candidate
was elected Freeholder. the vote
of his opponent In the Fourth Ward
was microscopic. Last spring William
j. Fenton, young man and compare
lively new in politics, received the regu-
lar Democratic nomination. Isaac In9le-
son, who was considered q remarkably
strong man, ran Independently Ingle-
son is wealthy ard spent his money
freely. Fenton did not have Inxleson's
wealth, but be had the support of the
young men and the backing of the lead
ers. That elected him.
YOUNG MEN TO THE FRONT.
Now there has been clubof young
men organized, with spacious quarters on
First street. and 1t Is known as the Will
lam J. Fenton Association. There are
other clubs of young men in the ward
and they are all staunchly Democratic
In fact this ward was never better organ
lied.
The First ward also comprises the Ninth
dist riot and aids in swelling the Demo-
cratic majority. In this ward are the
headquarters of the Michael J. Coyle AS
sociation and Hoboken Indepe ndeut
Pioneers. both staunch Democratic clubs.
Michael J. Coyle. Joseph Weiuthal and
several other satellites look altar the in-
terests OF Democracy In this ward Oc-
casionally in local contest little dis
affection creeps out in the lower portion
of the ward, but in a campaign like the
coming one everything is harmonious
The enormous Democratic muJorities
in the First and Fourth wards are not
altered to any serious extent BY the First
election district of the Second ward, and
tina t portion of the Third ward east of
Park avenue, and south of Sixth street.
II anything it is increased, and the Ninth
district can be said to be Democratic by
at least 500 votes.
Assembly Usher will not be can
didate for reelection this year. Consta-
bic Johnny Zellor who has been one
OF the most active of the Committeeman
in the northern part OF the county. will
secure the regular Democratic nominal
tion. Zellor is q strong candidate, and
will be elected beyond q doubt Herman
Walker, of the Palisade Amusement and
Exhibition Company, was mentioned as a
candidate for tine Republican nominal
ton, but Mr.. Walker informed me that
under no consideration would he accept
it, as his business required all his tune.
Things never looked ''rosier' for the
Democrats in the northern section than
they do at present.
TENTH DISTRICT
The Tenth District is admirably laid
out, but is not as strongly Democratic as
the Ninth This is a great district for
Statesmen" As It was told TO me almost
he is statesman. The district comprises
all of the Third Ward NOT described ia
the Ninth District, the second election
district of the Second Ward and all of
Weehawken.
1t IS in the Third Ward that all the
turbulent spirits dwell. and particularly
in the lower portion, where the Demo-
Gratis are as thick as flies in the summer.
But lately all these factions have been
harmonizsd by the organization of the
Cornelius ). Tahen Association. Tahen
is one of the representatives of the Third
Ward in the Council He is young
man, immensely popular and genuine
hustler. Last September the association
held picnic at Pohlman's Park 1t was
big affair from political stand
point Up TO The time of
that picnic President Russ, of the
Board of Edncation was the selection the
leaders had made for the Assembly.
Then Tahen bid for the nomination.. He
was such a popular Young niau and had
such a strong following that he was inn
meuiately recognized. Mr.. Russ, with
becoming grace, when he found that he
could not get the nomination, withdrew
from the race. Some persons endeayored
to induce him 20 run Stump. but like a
good Democrat he refused to Jeopardize
The success of the party.
LANDRIGAN AS A KICKER

portion of the Third Ward had be en-
