NEWARK, April IA, 1S96.-The election
in this city is passing off quietly and
everything points to Democratic VIC
tory. AT noon a light vote had been
polled. This was due to the fact that a
large number Of Republicans were stay
ing away from the polls. Disguised with
the sham Reform and hypocrisy Of the
Lebkueciler administration, they have
absolutely refuseu~-to vote the Republican
ticket, ard not wishing to vote for the

The Democrats, on the other hand, have

they would succeed in getting their full

There was much gloom and sadness
among the Republicans, and the most
sanguine among them predicted that
Lebkuecher would pun through with 1850
majority. Even if they should do that.
it would be a great Democratic victory,
when it is considered that Lebkuecher
carried the city two years ago by 1000
Chandler Riker. Mr.. Lebkuecher's City
Counsel, against whom much of the bait,
tie is being waged, just as the people
are fighting Edward w Woolley in Jer-
sey City. was not over-sanguine this af-
ternoon. Although he declared that mis-
side would surely win, he was very
loath to give figures.
met Mr.. James NJ, Seymour, the DEM
ocratic candidate for Mayor. He was
confident of success, although he made
no vain boastings or wild predictions He
based his belief upon the manner in
which the Democrats were f1ocking to
the polls and the Republicans were stay
ing at home. He also said that he had
received assurances from many Republi-
cans who two years ago voted for Leb-
klaecher, who assured him that they had
all they wanted sof Republican Reform,
and were going to try straightout Dem
ocratic administration.
The Democrats consider. the outlook as
more promising. They. point out the great
reign, and call attention to the terrible
arrat tgnnlent of the Mayor and his follow
ers by the Christian. Citizens Union. It
is considered that the tide turned last

THE ELECTION IN HOBoK BN.
A Very Light Vote and Little Interest
shown

The election in Hoboken today is very
tame The voting is remarkably light,
owing to there being no opposition to
the two principal candidates running for
office. Gig Treasurer Smith and Collector
of Revenue Bowes, the regular Demo-
cratic nominees, who have the Repup
lican endorsement. The voting in the
First ward is little heavier than in
the Others, owing to August Bewg, who
was the independent candidate for Coun-
Gilman in that ward, but who withdrew
from the race He is working for the
Republican nominee, Charles Taylor
against Joseph S. Weinthal, the Demo-
cratic nominee.
Bewig has always been a Democrat,
but for no apparent cause is down on
the party. His efforts will probably be
without avail, as Weinthal is regarded
as a sure winner
In the new Fifth ward the Republicans
are straGning every effort to seat their
candidate. They realize 1T is an almost
hopeless task, yet they are hoping that
the unexpected viii occur. AT noon to-

A NARROW ESCAPE.
Crowded Tenement House on State Street
Has Bad Smoking Out.

An alarm was rung in, Sunday morning,
about $40, from box 81. for fire dis
covered in the rear of the tenement house
at 80 State street, owned by N. W. Cole
and occupied by six families. Several of
the inmates had narrow escape from
suffocation.
The occupants We're fortunate in having
one Of their number so afflicted with
phthisic, Mr.. John Marshall, that he sits
up nights in a chair, being unable to lie
down. He sleeps light" and was
awakened in time to give an alarm before
the fire had made much progress. Down
stairs, close by the shed where the fire
started, sleep Mr.. and Mrs. John Des-
mond in small room, and these narrowly
escaped suffocation.
The fire was supposed to have been
caused by ashes, dumped in careless way
in the shed at the rear.
The fire department soon had two lines
of hose on the flames, and the loss is prin-
cipally by water, about 800 on the build
ing, insured by Macomber g. Farr; and
$50 on furniture, uninsured.
