Chances of the Various Wonldbes
in Jim Smiths BailiWick.

The last issue of the Newark Sunday
CAL gives the following interesting ac-
count of the various Democratic candi-
dates for Assen bly, honors in Essex
county.
Here are a few of the Democratic u.s.
Dirants tor Assembly. In the First dis
trict Alderman William Harrigan is
out Tor the nomination. Those anxious
for party success would rather he would
stay out of it. but the redoubtable Will
lam declares that he can get the nomina-
ton in spite of everything. His old an
taeanist, Patrick Corish, is also out for
the nomination aud his friend declare
that II he does not receive the regular
nomination they will give him an in
dependent nomination. Mr.. Thomas
C~ayanagh would like to return to the
Assembly for a second term, but he was
impol16lc and 1ndiscret when there last
winter and there is little hope for him.
Mr.. Charles Bassini has many friends in
the First district aud they may make
themselves heard before the campaign is
closed.
Mr.. Chas. Reilly of the Second district
stands excellent chances of getting the
nomination in the Second district. He
has stepped aside on two occasions to
o0AkkO phO 1OdlG1St duo u0 eADGCLS HIS
reward this winter. He is a young mau
OF considerable ability, and a member of
the Essex County Democratic Committee.
John Neider, the present As5emblyman,
would like TO go back to the Assembly.
but as he has hal Two terms he will pro-
badly be retired.
Comptroller Connolly will probably go
to the Assembly from the Third district
in the fall, unless he changes his mind on
the subject. Chicago Fair Commissioner
Thomas Smith has his hands full just
now with FAIR matters, but he may lind
time to make q fight for the Assembly if
the Comptroller decides not to run.
The Sixth district is one of those
places where schemers work things all
kinds of ways. Freeholder Seaman an
nounces that he would like to be Assem-
tilyman. Owen Cahill is making a bluff
for the nomina ion with the intention of
being asked to withdraw. and for his
kindness receive another nomination for
The lucrative office of F~reeholder. Some
OF the districts are in favor of Mr.. Matt
hew w. Hogan, but it is doubtful
whether he would accept. He has au ex-
tensive and profitable business which pol
itfcs mightinterfere with. Assemblyman
John, Hardin may De renominated. Mr..
James c. Carlos is out for the nomina-
ton in this district. He is a good politi-
clan and q hard fighter, and may make
things interesting before the campaign is
ended.
In the Seventh district Tax Commits
sioner Lowy will probably receive the
nomination unless some newdeal is made.
Mr.. Thomas Regan is also mentioned,
but he is SO busy with the city contracts
aud County Collectorship thai he might
not find time 10 go into the race. AS
semblyman Dempsey was given the City
Attorneyshl2 and he will probably cut no
important figure in the contest.
In the Eighth District Benjamin Ulrich
expects to be returned to tue Assembly
unless Charles +. Herr can muster enough !
strength to beat him for the nomination.
The ninth district is so ir~redeemably
Republican chat the Democrats will al
low Mr.. Glorious or any other Republl-
a who wants it to have the office.
In the Tenth Edistrict, which includes
the Oranges. the contest is between Tim
othy Barrett, of South Orange, and Al
derman Seymour, of Orange. Assembly
man Snyder. it is said. Obtained the nom-
nation last year on condition that he
would give Way to another man this
year. This may only be politicians talk,
and not to be relied upon. The Eleventh
district is conceded to the Republicans,
and Assem- blyman Studer may succeed
himself, though another candidate may
be put forward.
James A. Mccarthy, a plumber in the
Second district, is being urged by some
of his friends to enter the race for
Assembly houors in his district. Alder
man John Ely is also s%poken.of as a candi-
date.
In the Fourth district Assemblyman
Leonard Kalisch will make a big effort to
be returned to the Legislature, as he be-
lieves he will stand rood chances of be-
ing made Speaker of the House. Mr..
Joseph NJ. Byrne has aspirations to fig
ure as a legislator, and also has many
friends who would like to see him in that
capacity.
The Fifth district is one of the Assem-
bly, crumbs given to the Republicans. 1t
Is not known that Mr.. Ketcham is anx-
ious to return to the Assembly, but it is
pretty we'll known that Mr.. Henry NJ.
Doremus would like the Office.
