ASSEMBLYMEN UP NORTH.


ASSEMBLYMEN UP NORTH.
Situation in Hoboken and Township
Districts-Democrats All Right.
AS the day of election draws near poll
tics are beginning to get lively in Hobo
ken and the North Hudson towns. The
apathetic feeling is beginning to wear off
and both parties are getting down TO
hard work, and from now on until elec-
tion day there will be banner raistngs,
street parades and ratification meetings
innumerable.
The Republican party managers across
the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
tracks are putting forth every effort to
make showing, but in the face of the
tremendous majorities hitherto given for
the regular Democratic nominees. it is
thought that their efforts will meet with
little success. and the Democratic leaders
confidently y that Hoboken and the
North Hudson towns will be as solidly
Democratic as ever.
The Ninth Assembly district, which
was represented in the last Legislature
by Michael j, Coyle, is overwhelmingly
Democratic. Coyle carried it by almost
LOO majority, and even then ne did not
poll the full Democratic vote. The Demo-
cratic leaders predict that Grover Cleve-
land will get at least 1000 majority, and
the rest of the ticket will not be much be-
hind.
Coyle desires denomination and he
will sunquestlonably get it. He made a
good record in the Assembly.
The Republicans have not the slightest
idea of electlng any one in this Demo-
cratic district They will make a nomin-
alton. however, and hope 10 reduce the
Democratic majority. Isaac 1ngleson, a
manufacturer, or any one who wants it,
can have the nomination.
WILL FIGHT FOR THE TENTH.
Tt is in the Tenth district, however,
that the Republicans will bend all their
efforts to secure the election of their can
didate for the Assembly. This district
is nominally Democratic by about 900 but
the Democratic party is not united. Cot
nelius j. Tahen, a yOnng man and q sa-
loonkeeper. represented the district In
the last Legislature. He was the
regular Democratic nominee and won in
a four-handed fight by majority OF 400.
Many Of the voters in this district are of
the wealthy and Intelligent class. Many
of those who are Democrats did not vote
at all at the last election, but as this is
presidential year the politicians figure on
full vote.
1t is this socalled silk stocking element
which predominates in the Second ward.
and upper portion of the Third ward. who
are strongly opposed to the denomination
of Taben, They claim that Tahen's atui-
tude on the coal Combine measure was
not the proper one. The Republicans are
taking advantage of every opportunity.
and while spreading discomfort among
the better class of voters are drumming
into the heads of the poorer class i'll the
Third ward the story that Assemblyman
Tahen was directly responsible for the
increase in the prize of coal and this ar
gument will have its effect.
RUSS is POPULAR.
Counsellor Edward Russ, the law part
ner of General Heppenheimer. aud Presi-
dent of the Hohoken Board of Education,
is Tahen's opponent for the nomination
Russ belongs TO the so-callsd "silk stock
ing element, but is very popular with all
classes, He was a candidate for the POM
ination against Tahen at the previous
election.
The Republicans would not like to see
him nominated as they know he would
be hard man to beat. 1t Tahen is NOM
mated they intend to nominate Arthur
Leitz, who was Tahen's opponent at the
circulars touching on Tahen's attitude on
the coal combine bill. If Tahen secures
the nomination, however, all factional
elements in the Democracy will prove
their issu es, and there is little doubt but
the candidate will pull through with as
good a vote as last year.
Grover Cleveland and the rest Of the
ticket will go Through with bells on. 1t
is figured that Cleveland will carry the
Second ward by $50, Third ward by 800
and that portion of Weehawkeu in the
Tenth district by $50.
IN THE ELEVENTH.
The Republicans have not abandoned
=, of yl11 Il.
for the Assembly. They base their hope
on the expectation chat John Zeller, the
present Assemblyman. will be renomi-
mated. Zeller was elected by pleurality
OF 704 and 1t is hard to see how
the Republicans expect to reduce this bfg
majority They Will nominate John
Schwartz, however, and make a deter
mined effort to elect him. Nobody thinks
they will succeed.
AS for Cleveland and Werts and the
rest of the ticket, there is no doubt but
what big nlajorities will be rolled up
Cleveland ought to carry the district by
at least 1000 majority. AS the Eleventh
district is in the new Congressional
district comprised by Bergen aud Passac
counties, the voters will have an oppor-
tunity to vote for Mr.. Cadmus of Passaic
for Congress.
The Eleventh district had a candidate
of its own for Congress In the person of
DR.. De Croft of Union Hill, but he has
seen the helplessness of securing the
nomination snd has withdrawn. Con-
gresham Cadmus will poll the full party
