SIDE LIGHTS
UPON POLITICS.


Bacon Bright. the Democratic candi.
date tor Council in the Fourth ward,
1t is said, is making an unusually &C.
tive canvass, and he has many friends.
Friends of Joseph McGraw, the Re.
publican candidate, are following di.
rectly after Mr.. Bright's friends. and
they declare that Mr.. McGraw will be
| elected by the usual Republican plur-
allty. One we'll posted Republican
the other night was willing to wager
five spot that McGraw's plurality
will be at least 100.

The sentiment for Council in the
| Second ward is very largely for Bert
Craig. Three years ago Mr.. johnson
was elected upon Prohibition ticket,
| the Republican and Democratic oandi.
dates being license advocates. The
entire temperance vote went to Mr..
johnson and he had small plurality.
This year Mr.. johnson is the candi.
date of both the Prohibitionists and
| Democrats. But the Second ward is
Republican, largely 60, and Mr.. Craig
can be depended to get pretty nearly
| every vote OF his own party, and he
has the pledges Of a number of Demo
cratic friends who will support him.

The campaign has been moving along
SO quietly that there has been little
expression upon the part of the people
as to candidates. Next week and the
week following there will be more &C.
tivity manifested in the campaign and
there will be an interest awakened
that will bring out the views of a
good many of the voters. When this
expression is made one or two candi-
dates of the minority party who are
now claiming a good deal will be less
encourage ed, and less will be said con-
cerning their certainty of success.

The First ward will this fall again
elect Robert F. Ayars constable. The
veteran has been before the people
many times, sand never has he failed
to get the plurality necessary to elect
him. His plurality three years ago
was as large as he ever had and this
year it will be greater.
There have been few if any wagers
made upon the outcome of the ap-
preaching election. Thus far the
sporting element has only offered to
make small bets upon the plurality to
be received by Daniel Souder for
Sheriff. Most of the offers Of wagers
are on the basis that the Souder plur-
ality will be 1000
| Friends of candidate for Tax Col
lector Andrew Zane, of the1 Second
ward, are urging him to make per.
sonal campaign. They want himyto
spend two weeks before election day
in meeting the people face to face.
Zane's friends know him to be good.
whole-souled, honest fellow, and they
realize that his meeting the voters and
talking with them will have the effect
of making decidedly good impress
sion. Zane is good candidate and
there is absolutely no reason why any
man should not vote for him. The
chances very greatly favor his election
over Cornwell, who comes before the
| voters for third term.
In a few days candidate for Sheriff
Daniel Souder and candidates for As.
sembly Miller and Buck will start
upon personal campaign throughout
the county. They may all be together
at times. while upon other occasions
they may be going along singly, but
they will be urging an interest in the
whole ticket, and success will follow
their efforts.
One pretty well informed student OF
politics yesterday said that he wanted
to stake his reputation as prophet
upon the assertion that Daniel Souder,
as the candidate for Sheriff this Fall.
would carry every ward and township
in the county with the possible excep-
| tion of two. In other words. this gen.
tleman is of the opinion that Souder
will carry IS of the 20 wards and
| town hips.
Hopelessness Realized.
The Vineland News says: Peter
Campbell, the Democratic candidate
for Sheriff, was in Vineland to-day
seeing what his chances are of making
any headway in this Republican
