Most Of the managers for the election
have been selected, but there are one or
two who will be secured by this morning
There was some difficulty in securing man
ayers owing to the fact that no provision
was made for their remuneration, but the
requisite number was finally secured
The managers for Col. Gambler
are as follows: First district,
Dan Kney manager; James Degnan'
clerk; Second district. Charles Garfunkel
manager; L. 2. Masters, clerk; Third dis
trict, Justice NJ. Naughtin, manager, and
Robert Hymes, clerk; Fourth district,
James Mcbride, manager, and Thomas l..
Hill, clerk; the four country districts, w.

The following managers for Judge At

Third district Alex Mendel, manager; r.
M Grady clerk Fourth district N. Fri

Sixth, Seventh and Eighth districts, George

The managers have all been requested
to meet at the court house at 1880 o'clock
this morning for the purpose of taking
their work in hand at once. The Gambler
and the Atkinson men are expected TO be
around the polls in good numbers and the
contest will undoubtedly bring out consid-
cradle work and interest in the election.
The voting boxes. as has already been
stated in the Morning News, have been
arranged, and the voter who knows what
district he lives in win have no trouble In
finding where he has to vote There VIII
be only five boxes, one for each of the
four city districts, and one for the four
country districts. The First district box
will be located in the office Of the tax re-
ceiver on President street. The Second
district box will be located in the office
of the tax collector, Capt. J. j. MCGOWAN,
and will face on Sui street. The Third
district box will be in the office of Coun-
~ Treasurer Warning Russell, and will
front on York street The Fourth district |
box will be In the office of Clerk J. X. p
Carr of the Superior Court and viii face
on York street. The box for the Fifth
Sixth, Seventh and Eighth districts viii
also be in County Treasurer Russell's |
Office, facing on York street.
1t IS expected that here will be a fairly
good vote cast, owing to the fact that
there are more contests in this election |
than is usually the case with a state cleo
ton. The friends of the two leading gu
bernatorial candidates especially are eX-
pecting to do good work, and many voters
who would not otherwise turn out will I'M
doubleday be there.
Another feature which is expected to
give added interest 10 the election is the
fact that a voter casts his ballot directly
for the candidates and not for the dele
gates to the state convention. Though
this has been extensively advertised, there
are many who are not yet aware of the |
fact that they vote in the primary for
Governor, and the same way for other |
state house officers, and not for those who |
Will vote for those officers in the conven- |
ton.
The new county executive committee |
which win be elected to-day. will deter |
mine who the delegates shall be, in ac- |
cordance with the vote cast i'm the pri- |
