A STUNNING REBUKE
Republicans, By Their Ac-
4 tfons, Denounce Partisan
Legislation.
PRIMARIES A FARCE
At the Minkaka Club Only Twenty
Votes Cast-In the Other
Districts.

The Republicans of this county have not
evinced any perceptible amount of ecstacy
over the bill now before the Legislature to
bounce the present Board of Freeholders
and elect new board on general ticket,
and last dight they manifested their disap-
probation of the measure by staying away
from the primaries called for the purpose
of electing delegates to nominate candidates
for Freeholder in case the bill becomes a
law.
The leaders realize fully that the measure,
In its present condition, would be detri-
mental to the party, and that they would
not have ghost of chance to elect ma
jority of Republican Freeholders on gem
eral ticket. This feeling caused general
lethargy among the Repubs, and but little
interest was displayed: Few votes were
cast
In the Greenville section the primaries
were failures not more than twenty votes
being cast at any of them. At the Min
kakwa Club, where a joint primary was
held for the First, Second and Third pre-
cincts, the vote was the smallest ever re-
corded at Greenville primary. The Min
kakwa Club is the bulwark of Greenville
Republcanism, but only those who are fre-
quent visitors at the club rooms, voted. At
half-past eight o'clock there were only eight
cen votes in the box, and this number was
increased but two before the polls were
closed. At the other primaries in Green
will even less uotes were cast.
VERY FEW VOTES.
On the Hill and in the lower part of the
city absolutely no interest was displayed At
but few Of the polling places We're more
than twenty votes cast, and prominent mem
bers of the party were conspicuous by their
absence The regular hangers on, who are
always around, were the only ones who put
in an appearance, and their votes were de-
posted in perfunctory manner as matter
of course.
Over in Hoboken the same apparent indis-
position to take any interest in the primaries
was shown. Even in the Republican strong
hold, the Second Assembly District, no inter-
sst was eyinced and no one would realize
that primaries were being held, SO quietly
did they pass Off.
Upin the Eighth district the lethargy was
very pronounced. In the Sixth precinct an
attempt was made to arouse the voters by
running an opposition ticket to the regular
one. The regular candidates were John E.
Macarthur and John Dammer, while the
opposition ticket had the names of Bruno
Wegener and DR.. H. o. Albanesius Even
this could not stir up any excitement, and
only IWentyIouf VoJeS were cast, each
ticket receiving twelve votes.
