Who the Candidates Favor
By the Democratic
County Committee
Are.

The announcement that the Executive
Committee of the Democratic County
Committee had made up their minds to
support Messrs. Ruempler, Clarke and
Stack for the county nominations gave
great satisfaction to Democrats, who
think that with such asstrong ticket it is
only question of how many thousands
will be the Democratic majority. All the
candidates are well known men.

came to Jersey City when a very young
man. He was at first engaged in the busi-
ness of carpenter. but abandoned it for

was the proprietor of the Court House
Hotel, but he Is now retired. In 1896 he
was elected to the Assembly from this
county, and that was his first public
Office At the November election he re-
ceived the second highest vote on the
Democratic ticket, &C. 443, being a plurality
of 4,475 over the highest candidate on the
Republican side. Mr.. Ruempler is mem
ber Of many German societies, an able
business man and genial and exceedingly
popular resident of the Hill.
James c. Clarke, al present Tax Com
missioner and after next election, Regis
ter, Is perhaps one of the best known men
in the county. He has served in the AS
sembly, been an Aldermen and prominent
in Democratic politics for many years.
He was formerly practicing dentist,
and was recently honored by being elect
ed an honorary life member of the State
Society Of Dentists. Mr. Clarke has

brother-in-law OF ex-County Clerk D.
Mclaughlin. For many years Mr.. Stack
served under the late Prosecutor Winfield

He Was Careful of His Voice.

Brignoli, the famous tenor, was very
susceptible to fattery, and it is said
that once in New York, when the or
chestra vigorously applauded one of his
favorite songs, he was so touched that
he came down to the footlights and in
vited them all to champagne supper
at the Everett House. The supper cost
him $500.
Brignoli was very careful Of his voice
and was terribly afraid of drafts.
1t was once stated that during the
winter it always took him three-quar-
tiers of an hour to get from his room to
the street
First, he would, on leaving his room.
pace the hall for ten minutes to get ac-
climated. He then descended to the
lobby where the temperature was lit
tie lower, and spent 20 minutes there
He then ventured to the vestibule, from
which the door opened into the street
He would parade the vestibule for Is
minutes, occasionally opening the door
to let in little cold air. Being now
accustomed to cool temperature, he
would button up his coat and sally
forth. National Magazine.

A prominent South Side minister re-
lates an experience which he had the
other night in a street car while he
was returning home
There was but one other passenger
in the car, a jovial looking man, who
sat in one corner with his hat pulled
down to shade his eyes. The minister
felt that the other man was watching
him, but every time he turned his eyes
in that direction the passenger was
looking out Of the window and smiling.
Finally their glances met, and the pleas
ant looking passenger kept his eyes fixed
on the minister's face, scrutinizing
him carefully. The minister coughed
and looked embarrassed, and then the
other man, looking little sheepish,
came over and, sitting down beside
him, extended hand, at the same
time saying.
stranger, I've been thinking that
we look so much alike we'd ought to
get acquainted. The minister smiled
and shook the hand, and they soon were
chatting like old friends. AS the
stranger rose to leave the car he passed
out card, saying:
"Come around when you're down
my way.
After he had gone the minister
glanced at the card and read after the
mans name: wines, liquors and ci-
