who came from their homes in the un-

at tiieacoming Democratic primaries.

of all t1sa MON xvI,<,. a thnrad IN srrn,,,,s
about their respective polling places that
the next Sheriff of Hudson County would
be John Zeller. John r. Heavey, how
ever, had many supporters. Voters dis
cussing the respective candidates were
all of one mind, however. in declaring
that, no matter what candidate the party
put up, they would set out aud hustle

was very noticeable last evening that
complete harmony exists in these three
wards and it is expected that ON Election

much larger than they have ever been
before.

large turnout of Democrats in the Second
