II is not regarded peculiar to many counties IN
New-Jersey that in certain years the county cleo
tions apparently are of more vital interest than
those OF national State importance. This year
Essex County is no exception TO the rule. Inc
choice of a Mayor Newark is therefore. a mat

edly be the Republican candidate. Mr. Doremus Is
a strong man in politics. and he lost none of his
personal popularity when he served term as
Sheriff of Essex County One source of his
strength which is being related all over the
