H~ENNEsSEY ~SHRIEVALTY DELEGATES
The primaries in the Yuird district had
another and au entirely different result
when delegates for the County Cenven-
tioa were voted for. This was said to BIZ
caused by the action of the Third Dis
trlct Democratic Association last week In
sending h committee TO wait on District
leader James Hennessey, aud ask his
consent to the use OF his name as a can
dldate for the nomination for Sheriff.
Hennessey has never held Office. although
for years he has been an active worker
for others. He listened a considerable
time before giving bis consent, aud
only did SO after the most urgent
solicitation. The Committee promised
Hennessey that the delegates from

lows:-Warren Dixon, John D. McGIll,
Andrew Lewis. Patrick Condqn. Johu

he will cutter the race for the nomination
to stay.
Il BAYONNE PRIMARIES.
Spirited contests took place last night
at the Democratic primaries held in evsfy
voting precinct Of Bayonne. Throughout
the city W. factlOus formed on the cleo
ton of delegates TO the First Assembly
District Conye ation. Fortunately there
was no noteworthy disturbance. In tact,
the primaries were remarkably free from
turmoil or bitterness.
Election of delegates known to be
stsunch supporters of Sheriff Stanton
was the chief lssu.. Beyond anT reason
able doubt Rayonne has elected a solid
delegation of twelve who are couuted
NJ On to vote for the denomination of
Sheriff Stanton.
Faction lines were tightly drawn for
delegates who will nominate a candidate
for Assemblyman In she First. There is
every expectation in Bayonue that the
district will be. redeemed. With few ex-
captions the old aud active leaders worked
for the election Of delegates opposed to
CITY Treasures William ID. Salter. Their
object is understood to be the noniina-
tion Of a Gresnvllle man. There Is
a strong movement TO coueede tina
nomination to anyone not living III Bly,
onne, because Bayonue has had the
nominee for two years past.
Counsellor Salter, is al aggressive young
democrat: aud his friends made a strong
fight. Honors are supposed TO rest ABOUT
evel In Bayonne batween the two fac.
tions. Mr.. Salter's friends claim half
the dozen delegates In Bsyonne, the two
from tue Fifth aud Four from the
Second. Opinion Is freely expressed that
the nomination will be captured by Law
yer Pagan or Greenvllle. by those op-
posed to Counsellor Salter. Friends of
of the latter were somewhat surpri sed
aud disappointed at the results of lass
hight in BayoHne. particularly in the
Third aud First wards. However, several
well Informed democrats told u JERSEY
CITY NEWS reporter they expected To fiuu
a majority of the Bayonue delegates
voting for Mr.. Sal er, aud would not ue
surprised II he captured the nomination.
Very few alternstes were elected.
Primary election officers for the enusinR
fac i year were elected under the new
plan.
