nothing much, but pointed their fingers
at each other aud said:-"You did it,"
A cry was raised last year for straight
ticket and no compromise with the
enemy This prevailed aud an out ami
ont ticket was put in the field. The
shouting at the convention was hardly
over before the upright Republican
leaders started on a record breaking
foot match to see who could make the
earliest and best dlcker with the Demo-
Gratis. They are lying exceedingly low
just now, and the indications are that
when the race track people spring their
dark horse candidate upon the county he

Nomination"
THE FIGHT IN UNION.
There are two tracks In Union County
and the election of sheriff is matter
which deeply interests many gentlemen
ftom New York, who wear loud clothes
and scintillating diamonds. 1t seems
somewhat anomalous THAT there should
be two ofthose institutions In the County
in which the the strong Citizens League
originated and is stronger than in any
other in the State. But such is the fact
aud SO incensed is the large majority of
the citizens thati it would seem the height
OF folly for the sports to waste any time
and money In trying 10 secure the Sheriff.
But they are in desperate straits. There
is much talk of peculiar kind concern
ing the methods whereby the license for
the Linden track was secured, aud 1t Is
freely said that an Investigation of those
same methods would give Grand Jury
some seIious and profitable work. More
over the strength of the Citizens' League
In this county is so great that it encom-
paseth the race track about with clouds
OF witnesses who are always ready aud
willing to tell a grand and petit jury all
they saw.
Thus 1t happens that the Elizabeth and
Linden men are ss anxious as any one to
secure sheriff who will see that they
are uumalested in the lawful (?) pursuit
OF this legitimate susiness under the
Thompson-FIyuu laws OF last winter.
PAssAIC IN THE RACE. TOO.
Pdssalc Is auotner county In which the
race track men have located. After
being closed for several years the Clifton
people have again opened at the old
stand and ara ready to pursue their
had enough OF law. The money which
they have spent iu costs, counsel fees
and fines TO keep out of prison amounts
TO pretty large sum, beside the mental
wear and tear which they have under
gone in the past few years considering
whether the Court OF Errors and Appeals
would send them to Jail has been cons
siderable. They couut hereafter to
let the law alone and want
the law to let them alone,
and the only way in which tney eau do
this is to secure the sheriff. This is
speaker Tom Flynn's home county,
although he spends most of his time at
the Gloucester tracks, and he has made
frequent visits to Paterson OF late to look
around for safe candidate for the r-cs
track people. The candidates on both
sides are IaImost like the sands on the
sea shore and it will De interesting to see
In what guise the race track candidate Is
presented.
