ocrats in Hoboken last evening to con-
slider the advisibility of placing candi-
dates in the field at the primaries Ateer
some discussion it was resolved to sup
port this ticket

Mr.. Paxton is Judge of the Hoboken

REPUBLICAN ASPIRANTS.
There is a host of Republicans willing
to serve their country in Congress Tor
5000 year, and among them IS hu-
ward w. Woolley Frank o. Cole, cap
tain R. B. Newbury, Thomas McEWah'
Jr, and Max Salinger. Woolley ls-diso
spoken of for County Clerk or County
Register. And, so far as can be learned
he is willing to be elected to almost any
thing He was never before the people,
but his office of chairman of the hepup-
lican County Committee has brought MN
in contact with many people.
1 was told yesterday by a well inform
ed Republican, that Woolley is too rabld
| to be nominated, and that more con-
servative man would receive the honor
There is at present a strong belief that
Captain Newbury will be nominated for
| Congress by the Republicans.
Woolley is making a harder fight for
the nomination for County Clerk than for
Congress. He prefers the latter office be-
cause there is more money in it.
Freeholder John e. Halliday is also
candidate, but his prospects are not
nearly so bright as those of John Fisher
the present Deputy County Clerk. He Is
a Republican who was appointed to ms
position by Dennis Mclaughlin, solely
because there was no other man in the
County who was qualified by experience
to fill this position Mr. Fisher is an eX-
pert, and almost daily he receives letters
from county clerks all over the country
asking his opinion on difficult matters
connected with the office.
Aaron S. Baldwin will probably be the
Republican candidate for Register OF
Deeds.
Counsellor Jarvis Norris Atkinson, son
of the Rev. John Atkinson OF West Ber-
gen, is prominently mentioned as can
didate for Assembly in the Sixth district
He is a young pushing and thoroughly
capable man for the place He mas
large following of friends who will make
a stiff fight for him.
REPUBLICAN EXECUTIVE.
The Executive Committee of the Repub-
lican County Committee met last night
at the Union League Club and discussed
a number of matters of interest to the
nublic. 1t was decided to change the
date for holding primaries from Oeto-
Der 8 to October 10 in this city, ana tne
committee appointed October 8 as the
time for them in Bayonne. The conVen.
ton will be held on October II, ana not
October 16 as originally decided on. Inc
convention will consist of 148 delegates.
Corporation Counsel Blair was asked
for his legal opinion rnie1dar con6ef1d5rs tbis ine
fall, but he declined to give It, because
the whole subject would be thoroughly
argued on Monday at Newark. when the
matter comes before the court.
The law passed by the Legislature last
spring provided that the term of Office
of each of the present board in TINS coun-
ty should terminate on TUESDAY Decem-
If this law is declared to be unconsti-
tutional by the court, the Republicans
viii nominate six instead of twelve Free
holders, under prior law. There must
be Board of Freeholders under the Con-
stitution, and the act which says the
present board shall die December r.
it is believed by Republican lawyers,
will be killed on the certiorari proceed
ings. That being the case, unless the
Republicans are stopped by the courts
Freeholders will be elected under the old
district lines. This was decided on last
night.
The Executive Committee last night
seemed to think that certiorari proceed
ings would be brought for the purpose of
preventing an election for Freeholders.
