"A new kSEpuDtlCan %auupAasSs
The New York newspaper men were
greatly worried on Friday over the
very far Off matter of Jersey City's next
MayoraIty contest. One product of
their genius figured in the Nail and
Empress. 1t described the deals by
which General Sewell hoped to have
Colonel Toffey nominated. 1t was
interesting reading. and it represent
ed one side Of the struggle that is go
ing on III the Republican party in this
locality. A farmore interesting glimpse
into the possible future was afforded
by & casual sentence in a disquisition
on local politics in the New Jersey
edition. OF the World. In this
article, Mr. George f. Peterson, at
present Finance Commissioner, was
placed before the public for the first
time as an available Republican
Mayoralty candidate. This il. indeed
something Of a surprise.
The article in question INDUCED in
a good deal of speculation regarding
the Democratic nomination. This
was. Of course, wholly idle. The man
does not live who could venture safe
opinion as to who the Democratic
candidate will be- There are various
ambitions abroad, it is true;
but we believe we cannot be
too emphatic in declaring that
there are no deals, no promises, no
combines, no plans, no conclusive
indications Of any sort, and, for all
any one can now tell, some person
never yet dreamed Of in connection
with the Office. may yet take the
prize The Democracy is not in
the habit of tying its hands
a year ahead There is another
and an important election to be
disposed Of before the Mayoralty con-
test comes above the political horizon.
When the right time comes the right
thing will be done in view of the then
existing circumstances, and the party
will, as usual, go to the polls pre-
pared to win.
But while we consider there is no
chance for Mr.. Peterson to be elected
as Republican candidate, we are
glad to see his excellent services to the
city recognized by his party. When
he was appointed Finance Commits
sioner, we prophesied that he would
make his mark His business train
ing, his clear mind. his high repute for
honor and fidelity, marked him out for
useful and conscientious public Off
cial. He has made good the expecta-
tions that were formed. 1t is fact
generally recognized that he is second
to no one in our government in the
fight for economy and method in the
management of the city finances.
As a figure in public life, Mr.. Peter
son has only one drawback. 1t is
pity he is Republican. That misfor-
tune effectually bars him from obtain
ing any elective Office in this city, I'M
less convulsive changes in Hudson
politics take place. But if by any
queer chance we were to have a Re
publican Mayor, we would rather he
were Mr.. Peterson than any other Re-
publican whose name we have heard
coupled with the nomination.

The cricket eleven of the New Jersey
Athletic Club made easy work yesterday
afternoon of scoring telling victory over
the eleven Of the Harlem Cricket Club in
one OF the opening matches for the cham
pionship of the Metropolitan District
Cricket League. The match was con-
tested at Bergen Point. The wicket
cricketers went in first to the
bat. They had, little difficulty In gath
ering runs from the trundling of the Wis.,
iting eleven bowlers. When their fifth
wicket fell they had scored 164 runs, and
their captain declared the side out.
The Harlems then went in and welded
the wicket for over an hour before their
ten wickets were taken, but they were
hopelessly ia the rear. Three of them
were clean bowled. Here is the score:-

tial nomination printed in the great
fake edition of the World yesterday
have any sort of authenticity, it
would appear that Essex County is

palmer every day that the Democ-

all the worst tendencies of the party,
of which tendencies Hill is the repre-
sentative.
