THE PRESIDENTS EYE ON NEW JERSEY.

majority last November, and tnat some
| great and magnificent considerations
| should foil X such commitment.
| The President has scr9ttuized all the
New Jersey Democratic appointments.

Politics will be particularly interesting q
this year in Morris county, because they
| will elect Il Sheriff to succeed Oscar
Lindsey ana County Clerk In the
place or Elias B. Mott, three coroners and
two members OF the Legislature. II is
1 more than likely that Thomas OBrien,
who represented the First District OF

! candidate for Speaker,
Up In Sussex county which Is one OF
the Democratic strongholds of the State,
it is claimed that they have more honest
elections than in any oJher part of the
State, and less dark horses. only few
| wire-puliers and scarcely any com bina-
| tions. They have primitive way up
there of the candidates announcing their
own candidacy in newspaper cards. A
recent issue of one OF the local news
papers, published at the county seat. con
tained no less than ten cards from indi-
| viduals. who in that way announced
their Willingness to run for office at the
next election. The list covers all posi-
tions, from that of Sheriff down to Town
| Constable. aud in some of the cards the
| reason for seeking the Office Is an
| nOunced.

to use his influence for a syndicate that
wanted big franchise from the

"Well. It cost me lot of money te
| acquire the power I possess," WAS the
| politician's reply, "and Eve got to get IL
back"
| Tie weak point of the FL ONE NeUS
story is that IL does not tell who tine poll
| tician is.
