already begun to hustle for their nomi-
nees.
Other tickets have been mentioned,
but it is understood that the fight. will
narrow down to that which nominates
Col. E. A. Stevens of Hoboken for Con-
gress, ex-Judge NJ ], O'Donnell for
Z County Clerk and G. Bragg Fielder for
Registrar, on the one hand, and Mr.. Geo.
L. Records ticket, which includes Mr.
Philip Hexamer Jr., for County Clerk
ex-Judge Garrick for Register.
The ticket mentioned with Mr., Otto
Grouse at the head has been withdrawn,
Mr.. Grouse refusing positively to stand.
He with other members of the Reform
will work for Mr.. Record.
AN ACTIVE CANVASS.
Speaking to a News" reporter about
the plan of the fight, ex-Judge Garrick,
candidate for Register on the Reform
ers' ticket, says that meetings will be
held in every part of the county, and
these will be addressed by all the candi-
dates, as well as prominent Democratic
speakers.
Since the rival tickets have appeared
in these columns 1t has been said that
notwithstanding the harmony meeting
of The committee of twentyfour, there
is the same old gulf between the short
hairs and the silk stockings In
deed one Democrat says that Messrs.
Record, Hexamer and Garrick are the
nominees. not so much of the Reform
element as the representatives of the
Hudson Democratic Society.
This statement is ridiculed by friends
of the Reformers, one of whom said this
morning
9..That's ridiculous NIessrs Record,
Hexamer and Garrick are, it is true,
members of that club; but the club had
nothing to do with the nomination any
more than it had to do with the pass
age of the new constitution through the
committee of twenty-four. We put their
names in the field because we believe
they are good men and for any other
reason you please
NO SULKING.
Another Reformer interviewed laugh
ingly replied:-"Oh. no. it is not a fight
against what you are pleased to call
the machine" men. We simply believe
in nominating whoever we think will
best serve our interests, and if my friends
Record, Hexamer and Garrick are beaten
by any other ticket at the primary, we
don't intend to sulk in our tents, but
nominee whoever he MAJ be-"
Although it is generally believed that
the tickets in the field viii be those mem
toned, yet the friends of many of the
possible candidates mentioned in last
Fridays News" will continue the advo-
cacy of their favorites' claims. All the
candidates names will, be on one ticket,
officially printed, and given out by the
committee of "a. At present, with the
names mentioned. the ticket would look
something like this

friends of Philip Hexamer. Jr. Money
