EX-CORoNER R r
Another man who has not been heart
OF In politics for some years past Is
Coroner James Murrer. Now when cah-
didates should be scarce Mr.. Murrer asks
the Democratic nomination, and IL he is
refused he will run independently OH a
petition. He will. Of course. hurt the
regular nominee to some extent. Mr..
Murrsr was first heard Of in politics when
Governor Ludlow appointed him Coroner
in 1878 to fill the uneXpired term OF
Robert Duffy, deceased. At the follow
ing election he was nominated by the
Democrats for Corner and elected. He IL

JUSTICE KIMMERLY.
Justice Frank klmmerly is another
popular young MN who would like to
be Sheriff. He was slated for the office
once. but the slate broke,
Justice Kimmerley's friends are now
husriing for him aud want the regular
Democratic nomination rendered TO him.
The little Judge has made a late start,
He Is q dark horse snd may prove a win
ner, He las some of the ablest lieu
tenants or his staff OF any district leader.
He has been a Freeholder aud declined to
continue In that Office when appointed a
Justice by Governor Apbett. because he
is opposed to dual office holding. His
generalship vas never demonstrate
more clearly than when he conducted
Judge H udspeth's Assembly and Sena-
torial campaigns.
MAYOR PAGAN.
Mayor Lawrence Pagan of Hoboken
lie saying little. but his friends are max
ing a determined effort to plaza him AT
the head of the county ticket this year
His constituents believe that his reform
methods in Hoboken would serve as tn
best kind OF political capital, and would
insure his election. MIR. Pagan may be
beard from in the convention. Mr.
Pagan has been Assemblyman from tn,
Ninth Assembly District. He has been !;
Hoboken Tax Commissioner, aud now
owns Fagan Iron Works. He is reg troet
as a strong candidate 10 place at the hea,
of the ticket III this, the greatest haGtl
thai has ever shaken Hudson county.
JoH NOLAN.
John Nolan of West hoboken Is still
another candidate. II he don't get tn
regular nomination he, too. will run
Independently, he says. He viii Of course
poll some votes, aud all this dstracts
from the strength Of the party. It is fl
outlying districts that the leaders pil
their faith of victory, aud discord In any
of them cannot b, tolerated or permitted.
This fact makes Mr.. Nolan a dangerous
gentleman to deal with.
~EX-SHERIFF HEIETZE.
Last. but by no means least, the Second
district comes out Hat,footei Il de-
mands the nomination of Ferdinaut
Heinlze. He has Deen Sheriff before, aDt
