of the most interesting contests before the

position now held by Judge James NJ
Love. Mr.. Louis c. Barley, Judge Loves
opponent, is confined to his home in this
city by sickness.

ton was to have been held last night,
but owing to the absence of State Senator

pend, it was postponed until his return to
