That Dr. Julios Way. the present county clerk, will meet the wishes of the great majority of the people of Cape Hay county, aud become again their candidate for reelection in November, there la no doubt. He has been importuned by many leading people having business with the county clerk's office to allow hitparlf to be again voted for. and has it is said, consented to be a candidate for the position again. He Dan served the county well In that capacity, U a splendidly equipped official, and has in-tailed in the office a force of vfficient assistants, beaded by Deputy Clerk John Sayre, all of whom are capable and flaiustaking. There Is no office where carefulness should be so strictly observed as this one. where county records must be kept, not only for the present, but for all time. The County Clerk has been careful to secure persons for copyist* who write plain, legible hands, and he himself fs gifted in the same way. He l* possessed of an education which fits him not only generally, but thoroughly technically for the office. He is also one of Ike public spirited citizens of the county, and one whose carefulness in office for the first term dmerva> recognition and commendation by re-election.

Crease, leads la the Stokes movement, and even those who were so bitter against Senator Stokes and Crease lest Fall are falling In line as a matter of course.but they would gladly join _ V , sogtber candidate If he had any chanoaa ^ V-o&uccese. But thla element of small numbers is nearly extinct.

Bright Gaining Strength. • Owing to the fact that no residaot of Fire Mile Beach has heretofore been honored by a Cape May county elective office, there is a general feeling toward to naming of W. Barry Bright, collector and treasurer of Holly Beach, for Sheriff by the Republicans. Mr. Bright has not yet announced publicly that he is a candidate, hot it Is known that he win accept the nomination If it goes to him.
