WINNERS IN COUNTY.

Middlesex county gave clean
sweep to the Democrats yesterday
with the exception of one assem-
blyman, Jacob b. Joselson, one of
the Democratic candidates was de-
feated by John Ten Brock ON the
Republican ticket. Otherwise the
Democratic candidates went through
by big maiorities. Albert Boll-
sehweiler, mayor of this city, is
elected sheriff by 1850. Daniel w.
Clayton Is elected surrogate by about
1448 majority. August G. STREET,
wolf and John p. Kirkpatrick
ran we'll, Streitwolf, who was op-
posed by certain party leaders be-
cause of his action in backing Gov
being high man for the assembly.
Mr.. Joselson, who was placed in
nomination at the last hour before
primary fell behind and was de-
feated by John Ten Brock. the
high man among the Republicans.
Rene P. F. Won Minden, who had
served IN the legislature and was
closely affiliated with Theodore
Strong. was the low man of all six
candidates.
Tor freeholder the flye Democrats
won, Anthony J. Gebhardt, of
Highland Park, being high man.
William G. Wilson, of this city. made
a strenuous campaign using as his
argument that he was the only free
holder candidate from this city.
He ran we'll in Perth Anboy. but
the vote was not sufficient to pull
him through. The high man on the
Republican freeholder ticket is Will
liam S. Dey, Of South Amboy, who.
Is present freeholder.
Mayor Bollschweiler made rec
ord run In Perth Ambov. He swept
along away ahead Of his ticket. car
rying every ward with the exception
of the first, which Is strongly Repub-5
lican But remarkable as was his
run in Perth Amboy, he seemed to
be equally popular in surrounding
districts. Outside of Perth Amboy
the mayor got majority of 1870.
Daniel w Clayton. for surrogate,
gat a majority OF 948 outside of
Perth Amboy and this was greatly
increased by the vote In this city.
The mayor carried Perth Amboy
by 520 New Brunswick by 387,
South Amboy by 376; South River
by 257; Woodbridge by "a, and
sayreyille by 252. Besides these he
carried many of the smaller bor-
oughs and townships throughout the
county. Everywhere he ran ahead
and clearly demonstrated his pop
ularity
For Surrogate, Daniel w Clayton,
made phenominal run. Mr.. Clay
ton does not pretend to be a poll
tieian in any sense OF the word and
he went into the campaign purely on
his record as deputy surrogate. In
view of the fact that the Republican
machine, or what there Is left Of 1t,
headed by Theodore Strong, strained
every effort to elect Alfred s. March,
the Republican candidate for sheriff,
the run made by Mr. Clayton is all
the more significant. He carried
Perth Amboy by sos, only little
behind the mayor. He won in South
Amboy by 331; in sayreyille by 1876;
South River by PIT, and Woodbridge

IN Cranbury and Monroe, both
rock-ribbed Republican strongholds,
Mr.. Clayton was given q handsome
