The merger of the North Jersey troll

idly as was expected. Large interests
are opposed to yielding up their old

have not absolute faith in a reorgani-

is to put an inexperienced man at the

One thing Governor Murphy did
which we commend, that is, vetoed
the cigarette bill. A lot of societies
are all the time seeking to tyrannize
over some one else. They see some
man get foolish over little beer or
whiskey, and forthwith rush to the
legislature to stop the sale of liquor:
they see some boys make fools OF
themselves over cigarettes and smok-
ing, forthwith they want the sale OF
those articles stopped; and because
they occasionally hear young wo-
man OF man laugh on the streets OF
an evening they want to see imprison-
ment melted out to them. Because d
man occasionally makes fool of
himself over some woman we pre-
sumo they will soon ask the legis-
lature to kill all the women.-Wan-

THE CHRONICLE is complete and
correct. There has been made a
change in the time for filing Ger

FOURTH WARD,
(No Nominations.

Judging from the stories told by
the certificates of nomination on file
in the city clerk Office, the leaders
of the republican and democratic
parties in this city must have had
visions of about the same kind at
about the same time. In lieu of
the usual election-day Rough
House" there bids fair to be feast
at which the loaves and fishes will
be divided as evenly as possible.
The First and Third Wards of Nor
ristown are concededly republican
wards The Second and Fourth
have acquired the habit of electing
democrats. The managers of town
affairs have apparently decided that
there is no reason for makinga fight
in any of the wards as there seems
to be no hope that change of pol
itical complexion can possibly be
effected anywhere. Hence it comes
to pass that the following condition
of things exists
In the First Ward the republicans
have nominated Henry M. Dalrym-
pie for Freebooter and Llewellyn B.
Tompkins for Alderman. The dem
ocrats have filed no nominations.
In the democratic Second Ward
the democratic voters nominated
Edward Mitchell for Freebooter,
Samuel Karn for Alderman, Jacob
Van Wrinkle and Thomas ] Farrell
Justices of the Peace, and William
H. Lyons for Constable. Very &C
commodatingly the republicans
make no nominations in this ward
that will stick, except that of
John w. Rabbit for Constable.
Next comes the republican Third
Ward with republican nominations
as follows Freebooter Gustave A.
Becker Alderman, J. J. A. Ow-
ems Constable, Harris Domb, The
democrats are very considerate here
and they make no nominations ex-
.cept one-that of Benjamin F.
Warne, for Constable.
In the Fourth Ward the demo
Gratis are in the ascendency, and
they place ticket in the field which
has on it M. P. Norris for Free
holder and Clifford S. Rutan for
Alderman Patrick NJ Hogan is
also named for Justice of the Peace.
Not to be outdone either in liberal
ity or politeness the republicans
make no nominations in this ward.
There are, therefore, practically
no contests i'll any of the wards and
actually none for any Office worth
fighting for. That is why the vim
and snap of election day will not be
felt in Morristown on the fifth of
May, 1t will be sort of Castor"
and "Alphonse affair.
