DEMOCRATS ACTIVE.
Independents do not care to 90 on
record publicly Among .thal leading re :
publicans whom1 met none spoke detri-
mentally of Mr.. Stanton as an official or
citizen. Democrats are more alive to the
important issue than republicans as
whole. The eight delegates Co the Re-
publican convention cast their united
vote against Mr.. Toffev In favor of a
been no candidate in the district,
Mr.. Toffey would have made a poor
showing in the Bayonne delegation. This
fact is regarded as Significant. There is
certainly a bolt against Mr.. Toffey iu
Bayonne, which may be partially healed
Some of his opponents before the uoui-
nation are now reconciled to the result.
1t is estimated that many republicans
will stay at home or vote for Mr.. Stan
ton, but these meu will not talk for
publication,
Robert Fl. Ten Brock. representative
man. said:-"Tne nomination of Colonel
Toffey meets my approval. and is to be
".
He is a splendid candidate"
Col. Charles w. Fuller, ex-Asssmbly-
man, said: "a better candidate than Col.
Ioffey could not have been found. I
shall do all eau for him"
Editor Bloomfield Gardner of the
Bayonne Times, favored Col. Toffsy's
nomination early, and may be depended
upon to support him aggressively
throughout. This support will be very
valuable to the Republican candidate.
Winfield S. Chamberlin, Frank Fl.
Melville. Councilman W., FIugel, Coun-
Gilman George E. Schmidt, Frank w.
Edwards, Henry J. Stilson, Henry A.
Wheeler and nearly all men OF that class
are pleased with the Republican nomina-
tion for Sheriff.
There are number Of republicans who
usually work hard for their party who
are at present inclined to vol e for Mr..
Stanton. The city gave President
Cleveland and Freeholder Cronin phe-
nomenal majorities, which are not
likely to be equalled this fall under any
other circumstances. Ia Bayonne the
normal democratic majoritv is 600, The
present Indications are, In my opinion
tnat She:i Stanton will make a good
showing in Bayonne when the votes are
counted, The church element NAV be
aroused on foreign issues, anu iniure Mr.
Stanton. Much depends ppon the can
didate to be nominated for Assem- bly,
man on the Democratic ticket Wednes
day evening at Magner's hall.
Taxing into consideration various face
tors in the Shrievalty contest, / expect
Sheriff Stanton will have Q majority in
Bayonne of nos less than 400, based upon
present conditions.
John J. Reilly. John Terney. Thomas
Magner. w. j. O'Brien, Councilman
Charles McGee, Councilman Mark Robin

Stanton.
