An Office for One of Its
Number.

The Tenth Ward Republicans want
Mayor Pagan to see that Sol r. Briggs,
a veteran of three wars and resident
Of the ward, is appointed one of the In
spectors to be named by his new Excise
Board.
The faithful of the Tenth feel that they
have been sadly neglected by the new adj
ministration. County Election Board
Commissioner Thomas NJ. coughlin, who
was a candidate for Police Commissioner,
but, as is well known. did not land, was
reelected president of the Ward Assoc
citation at meeting held in the Second
District Court room, opposite the Court
House, last night. This was probably
done as a rebuke to the young Mayor for
his ignominious turning down of the par
TVS ward leader.
The other officers elected were Consta-
BILE Joe Locke, who was candidate for
anything but got nothing. vice president;
and ex-Police Sergeant Edwards, secre-
tary
There was some discussion on the adj
visibility Of making any more recon-
mendations for appointment TO the unap-
preciative Mayor, but it was finally de-
cided to try again with Briggs.

Especial to The Jersey City news
TRENTON. Jan. is, 1902 Most Of the
Senatorial candidates and their campaign
managers remained at the State House
after the organization OF the Legislature,
and the South Jersey aspirants remained
on the ground on the lookout for stray
votes or influences to advance their
booms
After the receptions and demonstrations
Of the night before the Dryden men We're
even more vigorous and confident than
before IN asserting their faith in the brill

was generally admitted that there are
more votes pledged to Dryden at the
present time than to any other candidate,
and his parisans affirm that he is IN
the lead in the contest, and Will remain

For the Griggs campaign it was claimed
that no ground had been lost by the for
mer Governor, and that his strength
would become apparent when the expect
ed break in the South Jersey pooms oc-
ours.
The Gunlnlere hackers said little, but
claimed that the Mercer man was still IN
the race to a considerable extent. Chan-
Gerry Clerk stokes did not put in an ap-
pearance, but his friends, including Gov
ernor Voorhees,. were positive in their
statements as to his prospects, and in
declaring that he was among the leading
candidates and destined to win out IN the

two votes during the day. Congressman

had withdrawn from the contest The
only candidate who did not claim IN
creased strength and ultimate SUCCESS was
Gratz, the Jobstown man. who poses as
the candidate of the Personal Liberty
party and does not approve of the CAM
paigning methods Of the other aspirants.
II was finally agreed last night, as had
been earlier suggested, that the Repub-
lican joint caucus be held in Trenton on
Thursday Of next week. There is very
little prospect of the contest narrowing
down much more before that time, and
it is pretty safe to say that there will
be no candidate selected before the seq
ond ballot.
The first move in an attempt to con-
solidate the South Jersey votes for Card
ner was made when Senator Haines and
Assemblyman Horner Of Burlington an
nounced that they would support the At

down in the Stokes column.
Horner gave out the following state-
