New Member in Several Districts
The Hoboken Contingent.
BOB. DAVIS AND HUGH KELLY

A sufficient amount OF heat has been
concentrated under The political pot Of
the Democratic party already. to set
things boiling-not simmsring, but boil
ing.
Il is conceded on all sides that Edward
r. Stanton, the present incumbent of
the Sheriff's Office. will be the psrty's
nominee for that office this fall. In the
Assembly contests there Is every pr OBJ
ability Of lively warfare.
IN THE FIRST.
Last year In the First Assembly Dis
trict. owing to disruption and bad man
agement, the Republicans managed to
squeeze Mr.. Berry through with small
majority. Mr.. Berry will undoubtedly
be renomfnated. He will have ss an
opponent either Counsellor Fagan of
Greenville. or Richard Hewitt. foreman
of the Standard Oil Company at Bayonne.
BONELL OBJ SMITH.
In the Second district, which by the
way, is 1900 Republican. John Bonell
of the Board of Street ana Water Com
missoners' office, or Daniel Smith. will
probably oppose Max Salinger, who is Co
be renominated.
MANY AsPIRANTs IN THE THIRD.
In the Third district, which was carried
by Contractor Henry Holmes for the
Republicans last year. there ls trouble
again. Holmes is not candidate for
denomination because he says Trenton ls
no place for IN honest man. However,
the Democrats are split in choice and
all difficulties Will have to be adjusted or
the old Third may once again fall into
the hands of the enemies. Ex- Mayor
G'raphagen, Contractor Thomas Egan,
Ios Mun lou
Grand Jury Clerk, and John Oxley are
candidates. Ex-Mavor Traphagen has
the silk. stocking" support and will
probably get the necessary number of
delegates.
In the Fourth the Davis gang is trying
to roist Hugh Kelly on the party. If they
succeed in nominating him he will be
defeated.
A GOOD MAN,
In the Fifth Adam Dittmnr will be re-
tired, and ex-Alderman Hoos will run on
tae Democratic ticket. Hoos is the
strongest candidate that could be
selected
In the Sixth Teddy" Carroll is almost
alone. There Is a citizens movement on
foot to put Contractor Patrick Connolly
in the race, but that gentleman Is too
much of an admirer of TeddY's to in any
way be an obstruction In his now clear
path to the Assembly.
ste LAWLESS IN THE SEVENTH.
In the Seventh, Martin Lawless of
Harrison will blossom forth once again,
ask a good naturea constituency for their
suffrages and march TO Trenton with ths-
other len Denocr tic Assemblymen.
In the Eighth, Mr.. John Mehl. a
pocketbook man anufacturer, who has lived
in the district all his life and is exceed
ingly popular has been decided upon by
the voters of the district, as the Demo
cratic candidate.
OVER IN HOBOKEN,
In the Ninth, Michael Coyle wants a
renomination and will probably get It..
The Hoboken voters are hopeful, how
ever. that he will step down and out aud
give the ever popular ex-Mayor August
Grasstnan a chance.
In the Tenth. Cornelius Tanen is not in
the race. He has seen all of the Assem-
bly, that he wishes to-. School Trustee
Russ aud Timothy Kelly. Council man.
are opposing one another. The voters of
this district want to see a young man
nominated who ls independent of any
faction, aud for this reason dark horse
may be selected.
In the Eleventh, Assemblyman Zeller
is out of the race, aud James Usher and
George Bruce of New Durham are being
pushed forward by large constituency.
IL will probably be Bruce. This COM
p lete4 the Democratic slate, and readers
Of THE NEWS will find that the predic.
tions are not very far from being correct.
