TRENTON, Jan. H. 1S98-There came
very near being some excitement over the
Republican caucus which was held here
last night and it all grew out of the
piggishness of Essex. For some time that
"banner county," as Carl Lentz and his
followers delight to call Essex, has been
claiming everything in sight and her adj
vance guard which arrived on the scene
early yesterday afternoon, began to dis
play a neat little scheme which gave that
county just fourteen offices and among
these fourteen were the best and richest
plunls on the tree.
AS the members from the lower section
of the State, who consider themselves
lust as good Republicans and entitled to
lust as much recognition as the Essex
men began to arrive and became familiar
with the selfish claims of Essex they
began to object and to object most
strenuously. They talked the ma tter over
among themselves and finally they con-
ciIlded that they would get together in
conference and discuss the matter in an
authentic manner. Finally all the coun-
ties except Essex and Passaic got to-
gefIer and after thoroughly discussing
fhe subject solemrly resolved that Essex
