CURRENT COMMENT

HATTERS OF GENERAL AND LOCAL INTEREST DISCUSSED.

n Impartial Review of the Coming City Election.—The Talk of the OoBtiDS. Rover*I of the Republican county loaders, who are now Iu actual control of affairs, and a local Republican leader, 10 holds a responsible government ptwlllon, and the former Democratic boas of the city. Who has been converted to Republicanism (for hnsinesa reasons), held a conference on Tuesday evening and agreed. It is said, upon the following ticket: Mayor—Ex Senator Jnaepb H. Hanes. Council—James J. Dusk, Frederick W. Wolff and Louts C. Sayre. Collector—J. Henry Edmunde. Treasurer—Dr. Wcailey R. Wales. Tiiey did not decide on the candidates for Recorder and Assessor. Thia will be a strong combination to beat. It looks strange to aee aoi the names 00 a Republican ticket, but then these are strange tiroes, and If the leaders who met stand by the ticket on election day and educate (as they know bow) the floating element to support It, every mau on it will be elected. They've organised some grevions things In New Jersey. Some robbing trusts and thieving rings. In New Jersey. Of course, they've paid some handsome fees. And pnblic servants live in ease, die trusts are safe to gouge and squeeze. In New Jersey. The game's been played a bit too long In New Jersey. It's time to right the pnblic wrong In New Jersey. The anarchists are much alive. And like the trusts and combines thrive tike bees in unmolested hive, In New Jersey. It seems high time that they commence, In New Jersey. To tme a Httle common sense In New Jersey. Let trusts and anarchists be told In plainest words and accents bold That for their like it's mnefa loo cold In New Jersey. Many of our best cilixena want Mayor Millet to run again, arid the statements made by enemies that be will withdraw Dorn the contest, la autboritauvely 4e

uied.

The faithful, few Prohibitionists who reside in Cape May met on Monday night, but postponed the naming of tbelr oily ticket uutil to-night. It la expected that they will name Dr. Edward H. Phillips for Mayor; Frank 8. Sheppard for Collator, and George Ogden for Treat Tax Collector Jam hi Learning will not be a candidate for the office, be says, because there Is too much responsibility, too much work and too little pay. Many citizens regret bia refusal to accept a Domination.
