BAYONNES UPRISING.
The Ingham Avenue Sewer Job and
the Engineers Fees.

the Engineers Fees.
There Is very little doubt now in the
minds of the citizens of Bayonne but
that ex-Councilman William C. Farr, the
Democratic and Citizens nominee for the
mayoralty, viii be elected. The action of
the Democratic primaries Wednesday
night, and the selection Of the Council
manic nominees adds to his strength.
In the first ward Major Goddard, the
present president OF the council, and one
of the "ring,n was nominated, forty-one
votes being cast Forty of the men who
cast these votes were' marched 10 the
polls by Goddard. The Republican can
didate, Gale, will receive the support of
the Democrats opposed to the ring. Gale,
it is understood. favors the election OF W.
G. Farr.
In the second ward Kane, the Demo-
cratic nominee, will receive the
support of the Independents. He also
fayors Farr's election. In the Third ward
no nominee for the council has been made
by the Democrats.
In the Fourth ward, which is strongly
Democratic, Nicholas Carroll was nomi-
mated. Every effort is being made to get
Carroll to declare ia favor of Newman,
and though the press ure is great,i is said
he will declare In favor of Farr.
In the Fifth ward Edward OFarrell,
who sold himself to the ring, was defeat
ed for nomination. aud this action shows
how strong the sentiment is against
Newman and the ring. Charles McIee
was the successful candidate. For the
unexpired term of VIM. c. Farr, he hav-
ing resigned some weeks ago, Mark
Robinson was placed In nomination.
Botn are solid for Farr
One of the causes which led to the up.
