many Democratic clubs and shown a
great interest in the advancement of the
party that he was preferred the

whelming majority. He was requested

candidate the party leaders consented,
and he was chosen without the slightest
opposition His election is just as sure
as is Mayor Hoos'.
Every German organization in the city
has pledged its support to Mr.. Hentze.

sometimes disagreed with the party lead
ers. but he has never kicked over the

sioner has worked more sincerely for the
raising of the city's credit than has Mr..

DALLAS UPHELD.
Bayonne City Clerk Says Coun-
ty Committee Was
Right.

The managers of the Grand Bayonne
| still adding new stunts to their show
and the Democratic part of the audience
is applauding with enthusiastic hilarity
Ex-Mayor Farr, who received the al
legged Republican nomination for Mayor
through a deal made with Uncle Dick
Bridgeman, the nominee for Recorder, has
thrown down his Uncleship and filed a
nomination petition with the name of
Samuel A. j. Neely, ex-Republican and
political guerrilla, in the place of Bridge
man. Nicely sought the Democratic
nomination and was turned down by
Leader Magner of Bayonne on the
grounds that he was not a Democrat.
DR.. Alexander Dallas, the nominee of
the Republican County Committee for
Mayor also refuses to recognize "Uncle
Dick as one of the talent and has
brought forward an understudy in the
shape of William G. Vivash, who is alleged
to be straight Republican, without
any entangling alliances. Vivash has also
been nominated by petition and he and
Dallas are making a grand stand hustle
to beat Farr and Bridgeman.
The greater part of the delegates to
the late unfortunate convention, whose
actions were declared irregular by the
County Committee, and who favored
Uncle Richard and his aspirations for
office, are now sore and will do all they
can to defeat him on election day.
With Bridgeman Vivash and Neely as
opponents to Hyman Lazarus, the nomi-
nee of the Democratic primary for the
office of Recorder, the latter seems to
have an exceedingly soft snap and will
doubtless be called your Honor for the
coming three years.
Another case of seeming Republican
stupidity was discovered yesterday. The
time for filing nominations expired on
Monday The Second Ward Republican
nominations were not filed and the
nominees names cannot consequently be
printed on the Republican party ballot
The Farr men at once took advantage of
the situation and five minutes before the
time expired filed Workfngmen's petit
ton naming Farr for Mayor, Neely for
Recorder and the regular Republican
nominees for Councilman and School
Trustee
This morning. at $50, City Clerk Hamil-
ton. in the presence of Messrs. Farr and
Bridgeman and the counsel of the former,
Lawyer w. w. Anderson, gave his decis-
ion on the question of the regularity of
the proceedings of the Regular conven-
ton, which nominated F'arr for Mayor and
Bridgenan for Recorder. He held that
the actions Of the convention had been
condemned by the Executive Committee
of the Republican County Committee and
they having nominated Dr. Alexander
Dallas for Mayor and Richard A. Bridge
man--for Recorder he tthe City Clerx)
considered Dallas and Bridgeman the reg
ular nominees of the party and should
have their names placed on the official
ballots.
After the reading of the decision Farr
remarked:

would take the matter to court. He said
