WHAT PEOPLE THINK.
When the above statements were
made known to the assembled Demo-
Gratis there was little or no excitement.
Messrs. O'Nein and his henchmen took
it as a matter of course, while the Re
formers were too surprised to say
much.
'Ah" sighed DR.. L. ]. Gordon, with
a rueful look across the table at DR..
Edge, who was in a meditative mood.
81 suppose there's nothing, to be done
but take off our coats and work for the
entire ticket"
..Of course chimed in Mr.. Otto Grouse,
"and we will work with the same zeal
for the Democratic ticket
"Ha. ha! haw chuckled DR.. McGill.
Its just our luck, everybody we en-
dorse is beaten. I've been there"
Except Grover Cleveland" corrected
General Heppenheimer; 1--WE endorsed
him.
The latter was too busy to say much
more, and picking up a batch of enyei-
opes, enclosing official returns, skipped
off to Heboken.
AT one O'Clock this afternoon Secre-
tary Heppenheimer told a reporter of
1.-The Jersey City News that he had
not received returns from half the pre-
cincts in the county. He was busily
engaged, with Michael J. O'Donneli, in
specting the patches of slips returned
to him.
STEVENS MAJORITY 5000.
'It is assured" said Mr.. Heppenheimer,
"that Messrs. Stevens, O'Donnell and
Fielder have been nominated throughout
the county. The returns l have receiv-
ed thus far prove this beyond doubt.
Stevens will have close onto 5000 ma
jority."
Eyes, and you may say I have polled
myself as many votes as all my COM
petitors put together" interposed Mr..
O'Donnell. Mr.. Heppenheimer continued:
81 don't know when all the returns
will be in-probably not before tomor-
row noon, at the rate they are coming
in now."
1t was stated expressly that all returns
should be made by noon today. This
provision has been carefully disregarded
by nearly every precinct The Ninth AS
sembly District, in Hoboken, is the
only one that has made complete re-
turns As Mr.. Heppenheimer spoke, a
man hurried in with an envelope from
the Second district, Jersey City.
Am 1 too late?' he asked anxiously.
mo later than half the rest" was the
curt reply.
JACOB CARRIES THE SECOND.
In the second district there was big
fight between Thomas Jacob and Carl
Reumpler. Mr.. Reumpler had the sup
port of the Germans, while Mr.. Jacob
was backed by the Lafayette section
and the followers of ex-Judge Kimmerly
Jacob won. In one of the precincts a
man was allowed to vote who was not
enrolled and the Reformers talk of bring
ing the matter before the Grand Jury as
they claim it violates the law providing
against frauds at primary elections. In
another precinct which was run by the
Reumpler men as they saw ft.a watcher
bearing a duly certified certificate of
the County Committee was uncere-
moniously put out of the polling place
THIRD DISTRICT.
In the Third district there was the
usual clash between the friends of Thos.
Egan and James Hail. Both men are
popular and district leaders always keep
their hands off when these two gentle
men oppose one another.
How many votes were cast is not
known, but on good authority it was
learned that nearly every man who had
enrolled, voted. From the time the
polls opened until they closed voters
were in line. They pushed, showed
cursed and swore and did everything
else on the calendar but fight. 1t was
conceded at midnight that Egan had
won When this declaration was made
the Hallites accepted it with good grace
and declared that if Egan had carried
the day they would support him tooth
and nail. The Record Hexamer-G Garrick
ticket went under with a bang. Michael
T. O'Donnell ran far ahead of Stevens
and Fielder.
