IN CAMDEN 5000 TO 10000.
SUCH is THE ESTIMATE OF THE REPUB-
LICAN MAJORITY IN THAT COUNTY.

Camden Oct (SpeciaD-South Jersey Repub-
cans were glad that Thomas M. Ferrell was not
the nominee of the Democratic convention last week.
for the reason that Ferren would doubtless carry
considerable weight in this end of the State Mr.
Ferrell the avowed champion of labor in
his previous fights. and he achieved popularity
in that way, which he still retains.
AS result of the defeat of Ferrell there will be
the usual Republican majority from this end of the
State. The outcome of the Camden city and county
Republican conventions has clinched the matter.
There had been much fear as to the result of the
fight over the nomination for Mayor of Camden. be-
the friends OF Mayor Hatch had insisted
vigorously upon his denomination. But when the
Mayor himself got into the convention last Satur-
day and paid high tribute to the character and
worth of DR.. J. B. Davis the unanimous choice of
the convention, and promised to give to the support
of the ticket all his best energies. he gave the
party such convincing proof that he sincere
that there has been nothing but commendation for
him ever since. The fear was that the State ticket
would have been placed in jeopardy by the nonina-
ton OF Hatch. State leaders were appealed to and
the situation was discussed in party councils all

It is not believed that the Democrats hope to

have carried the county for several years. and
Seymour is hardly the candidate to draw many
Republican votes. 1t Is well to remember, also.
