M%etuchen, August 20:-The poll

the rough places, and speeding
up the machines preparatory
for the races o to be run.
This fall, besides electing a presi-
dent, a congressman and some fell
lows to go to Trenton to make laws,
it will be necessary to elect some
officials to run the borough. Bor-
ough Assessor William T. McAdams,
leading Democrat of this part of
Middlesex county,~a man whom the
Republicans never yet defeated for
office, and frankly speaking a man
whom the people usually support
without considering party, is under
stood to be out Of the running and
unwilling to take the office again.
Before the primaries are held the
powers that be hope to change his
mind and the Republicans are not
talking of a candidate to oppose him.
Jesse Perry, the only Prohibition
list holding an Office in town Is the
collector of taxes and borough treas
urer. The Democrats have designs
on this Office arguing that there are
some capable Democrats in the
ranks who would like the honor and
salary attached. Several names
have been mentioned.
The terms of Councilman Edward
Kramer, Democrat, and Benjamin
Ford, Republican, expire this year
and neither is being talked of for
reelection, the Democrats claiming
that two new men should be select

are not making any states just yet,
neither are the Bull Moosers, but
the latter are only waiting to see
what the two big parties do, it Is
said. If they don't name suitable
men the Bull Moose will put a tick
ct in the field that will be a winner,
so they say.

B. APPLEBY
TO RUN AGAIN
Spotswood Mayor Has Petit
tien--Garner De Voc Out.
special TO the EVENING Nh VS..

Spotswood, August 20:-The may
orally question has worked IN Inc
Spotswood politicians into a fever
heat, which does not promise TO sub
side until after the primaries, on
September "a. According to the
present situation, it looks very much
like the reelection of Mayor A. B.
Appleby, Democrat, without opposi-
ton. H. Garner DeVoe, the snuff
manufacturer, dropped out of the
race for the Democratic nomination
when 1T was learned that'he voted a
Republican ticket at the last cleo
ton. He had a petition in c~ircula-
ton, but 1t was dropped when this
startling fact vas revealed by sever
al old-time Democrats.
Mayor Appleby stated a month ago
that he would not accept another
term, but after repeated urgings
from his many friends and men
higher up in county Democracy, he
decided to stand for reelection for
the sake Of harmony In the local
ranks. 1t is rumored that Council
man Aug. Cornell will resign his
seat on Thursday night and oppose
Mayor Appleby for the Democratic
nomination at the primaries, but this
report is not accepted by the mayors
hackers. MI. Cornell and Mr.. Ap-
pleby are are warm, personal
friends. William Sawyer Is out for
reelection as county committeeman
on the Democratic ticket, and there
is some talk of opposition. Mr.. Saw
yer favored Mr. DeVoe for the nom
nation. despite the %entreaties OF
many staunch Democrats, therefofe
has incurred the d~ispleasure OF
many followers of both Mayor APP
pleby and Councilman Cornell.
A petition is In circulation indor-
sing John Beebe for councilman Oh
the Democratic ticket. 1t is report
| ed that Mr.. DeVoe will make a fight
for a Republican nomination to the
common council for a term Of three
years, or to fill out the unexpired
term of Councilman Cornell, in case
that official decides to enter the
mayoralty campaign.

CITY TICKET IN
SOUTH AMB0Y
Republicans Name Mer
Nearly All Progressives.
SPECIAL to the EVENING NEWS.

South Amboy, Aug. 20:-Notwith-
standing the inclemency of the
weather, a considerable number of
citizens assembled in the Parisen
building, corner of Augusta street
and~Broadway, to continue the dis
cussion of probable candidates for
the coming city election and hear
the reports of those designated to
call upon parties at the last meeting,
Much care was exercised in the Sc
lection of candidates, attention
being given to the men themselves
rather than to the party affiliations.
Some trouble vas experienced In get
ting the various parties to accept,
each individual claiming too much
was at stake to treat the matter
lightly and feeling that some better
candidate could be selected than
himself. The discussion and can
vass continued until >about 1890
O'Clock, at which time the tentative
ticket was announced as follows:
For/Mayor-W. s. Dey.
For Councilman at Large-Collin
Stratton.
For Councilman, second ward.
F. Fulton.
For Councilman, third ward -
John Cosgrove.
For Coroner-Daniel Donlin.
For three members Board OF Ed
ucation-C. T. Mason, E.. G. Roddy,
Samuel Locker.
For Justice Of Peace, fourth ward
james Bloodgood.
For Constable, first ward-James
Mackay.
In selecting the candidates for
Board of Education all those present
insisted upon the same three parties
being named as in previous years,
they claiming they desired by such
action to show they still felt these
three men were fully capable OF
coping with the important school
questions hat faced the city at this
time. The three parties named were
reluctant to serve as candidates, but
all finally agreed to with the excep-
ton of G. T. Mason, who stated quite
positively he would not permit his
name to be used. However, the as
sembly have set it down tentatively
with the thought that he will finally
accept.
Without desiring to criticise the
opposing ticket, however 1t may be
constituted. the tentative ticket out
lined abov> Is certainly one of the
strongest placed in the field In South
Amboy in some time and is COM
posed of some Of the city's most In
telligent citizens. The citizens are
thus given one more chance to place
IN power men who will look after the
Interest of the taxpayers, but wheth-
er they will embarce the opportunity
or permit it to pass unheeded as in
the past, remains to be seen.
While 1t Is almost certain that
these candidates will line up under
the Republican ticket, from appear
ances and sentiment expressed, a
q number Of the candidates are Pro-
I &. ooSlYSS.
