AS predicted in the News of last
evening, Councilman Bewig has taken his
defeat to heart and has gone over to
the Stuhr faction Yesterday he sent in
his resignation as a member of the Coyle
Association Harry Snyder, an ex-Coun-
Gilman of the Fourth Ward, who has
heretofore always been staunch Demo-
crat is also out shouting for the Stuhr
people.
Bewig will not seek nomination on the
Stuhr ticket. Silas Decker has already
been promised the Councilmanic nomina-
ton on this ticket in the First Ward and
Bewig knows that there is no use in
trying to force matters in that direc-
ton.
|. The City Committee will commence
shortly to prosecute a vigorous canvass
for the election of the straight Demo-
cratic ticket. The battle in Hoboken will
not have been fairly begun until after the
Republican City Convention, the German
American Verein and the Stuhr concourse
have named their respective tickets. All
this. however, will be done shortly. The
Republican City Convention will meet
next Monday evening, at which time the
delegates will construct a ticket. The
nominations of the other organizations
will follow in rapid succession.
The managers of Mr.. Stuhrs campaign
have not yet given up hope of securing
Republican endorsement for the ex-Sena-
tor and are lying low in wait for the
convention. They do not deny the current
rumor that the Stuhr ticket will not be
named until after the Republicans have
announced their choice. In other words
Mr.. Stuhr's friends are tarrying to see
which way the wind blows.
