THI'sTAsM-NEws NOTES OF INTEREST
FROM PATTERSON
John W Grlggs has been going on the logical
principle that his fellow citizens of Passaic County
Will get along without his presence in their work OF
rolling up great aIority for him, and that they
willing TO let the OF the State which does
not know him so we'll become better acquainted
with him Mr. Griggs has not yet addressed any
meetings in Paterson or Passaic County reserving
for his townsmen the night OF November 2. three
days before the election. when II is expected that
there will be great demonstration to greet him.
The prospect that Passaic County will do nobiy for
Mr.. Grggs Is OF the brightest. The Republican
legislative ticket has the names OF two who
served in the last Assembly. John King and James

S. Cox and Henry w. Gledhill. 1t is not denied by
the Republicans that there is dissatisfaction
because Samuel Bullock not renominated. Mr..
Bullock has many friends and proposes to
independent. cut IT is not probable that he Will
succeed In defeating any Republican nominee. His
grievance is that the four men who got the nom-
nations formed a combination, but II is recalled
that Mr. Bullock was in similar combination last
year. when William l. Lewis, who had served term
with high credit failed OF a denomination, and Bull
lock has only had 10 take the medicine which he
helped administer 10 Lewis. The rural sections OF
the county are alive with Republican enthusiasm.

OF the townships. addressed BY good speakers. who
