The victory of Mr.. Wendenburg.
while not predicted by the politicians,

able in sense because he was unable
to get into the campaign, having can

one of the big surprises OF the day.
His friends gave him to understand
that everything was going his way.

heard from. For treasurer, H c.
Hcchler was we'll ahead OF S. NJ. OBan-

that S. p. Waddill will be far ahead
