NEWARK, Oct. 3, 1905.-If the Re
publican partyis to take any part in the
conduct Of the campaign for the election
of the candidates on the, county ticket,
in conjunction with the Colby forces, it
will have to do so on the basis of a
minority representation. 1t was made
plaiI yesterday that, so far as the Colby
people are concerned, all negotiations
with the regular organization, on the
question of who shall direct the cam
paign, are off, and the Colby people in
tend to go ahead themselves. They will
make the fight under the same direction
and with the same forces that carried
on their campaign previous to the recent
primaries.
This fact was made apparent by a
statement which Mr. Colby made in an
interview. in which he said:-
There seems to be some uncertainty
in the public mind as to the controversy
between tne Republican county commit
tee and the candidates in reference to
the conduct of the campaign. In order
to do away with any misapprehension, |
wish to make my position perfectly clear.
1t has become more and more evident
to me that, for reasons publicly stated,
Major Lentz must be eliminated from
the control of or active participation in
the campaign. / have definitely decided
to adhere to this determination to the
end I regard the negotiations of last
week as closed. If they are reopened
at any time it must be on the basis of
special committee to have full charge
of the campaign, of which committee
the men selected by the candidates must
be in the majority and in undisputed con-
troll. and Major Lentz must not be a
member thereof. If the county commit
tee desires to cooperate in the campaign
upon these conditions, shall welcome
their assistance"
The statement Of Mr.. Colby was shown
to all the candidates upon the county
ticket. except Philip c. Walsh, Jr.. Hen
| ry G. Hines George f. Scribe, can
didates for the assembly, who could not
be found. All who saw it declared that
they heartily acquiesced in all that Mr..

missioners yesterday afternoon awarded
the contract for the conversion Of the
abandoned reservoir at Central. Manhat-

per cent. Of the standard cost.
A delegation consisting of John DAILY
and FIVE women, all residents Of Boland

the extension of the relief sewer in Fair
mount avenue. They called attention TO
the fact that three eighteen-inch sewers
empty into the one eighteen-ineh sewer
in Jackson avenue and as result water
at times backs up into the Easements of
their homes.
The Board took the matter under con-
sideration.

Assemblyman Scott opposed equal taxa

the Bayonne representative denies and
he explains pretty thoroughly why the
Faganites are. against him. Among
other things Mr.. Scott says:

preparing an address in which they in
tend to repudiate him. They have re-

ignore Scott entirely. This will not
cause Scott any uneasiness, as he will
have the support of the police and fire
departments and he is inclined to ridi-
