AGAIN IN ELIZABETH VIC
TORIES ELSEWHERE.
Local elections were held yesterday In a num-
ber Of the principal cities and towns Of New
Jersey, and resulted generally in sweeping ke-
publican victories. Perhaps the most noteworthy
Of these was in Newark. the metropolis of the
State. which elects a Republican Mayor the first
time in over ten years. and smashes the Demo
cratic ring which has been In control OF the
city for several years It's chief figure being the
present Junior United States Senator James
Smith jr The plurality for the Republican can
III late is about 5000. and the outcome shows
that the people have not retreated from their
purpose. - eloduently expressed last fall, OF
ousting the Democratic politicians who have
dominated the affairs OF Essex County for sew
eral years.
No less satisfactory Is the result In Jersey
, City where the people have once more indorsed
the reform measures Of Mayo Wanser and given
him further support by@ecting five out Of six
Aldermen.
Another striking illustration of the popular In
dlenation against Democratic machine methods IL
found In Trenton where the Republican nave
elected their candidate for Alderman-at-large by
the biggest majority ever given for local Of
fee and ten out Of eleven Councilmen reversing
a Democratic majority In tn, Common Council Of
seven.
The people Of Orange. ordinarily a Democratic
stronghold have risen up and elected Repub-
ncan Mayor BY about 1900 plurality
