NAAR'S STATEMENT DENIED.
IRON AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT OF THE TRIBUEEl
TRENTON, June M-"What will the Demo-
cratic Convention do 7" is the question hears from
one OF this State the other and the nvariabe
is one Of doubt The shrewdest politicians hesitate to
venture any prophecy, and with the cautious conserva
ism so proverbia with Jerseymen are awaiting develop
ments IL is conceded all hands that large majority
Of the Democratic in favor Of ndorsng Gin
cinnad but the Bourbon element is very active and
has hitherto exerted q powerful influence In prevent
ing outspoken allegiance to Greeley. The result
OF the Fifth-Avenue Conference, however, has had
salutary influence, and marked development OF lib
era sentiment has been the result. Up 10 the hold
ing of the Conference the btterest and most
effective opponent OF the Greeley movement was ex
Gov. Randolph but when it shall become known that
he has since the Conference declared his approval
of its results, and has so informed Mr.. Greeley's
friends the influence which he has hitherto ex-
erted against Endorsement may be turned with in
creasng force in its favor Another benecent result OF
the Conference has been the general denial called forth
from every part Of the State Of the remark Of Judge
Mar that II the question Is left between Grant and
Greeley New-JerseY would go for Grant. The Herark
Journal, which has persistently demanded a straight
ticket quotes the statement Of Judge Naar and says:
1--WE are compelled to say he does not truly express the
sentiment Of this State, have taken the greatest
pains to discover through careful observance OF
month past OF the tone Of the State press and from
private consultation with the wisest and shrewdest
observers Of the State Under possible contingency,
unless the Democracy sheds all its sense can
Grant carry this State next Fall"
Another fierce opponent OF an Endorsement Of Mr..
Greeley Is Congressman John T. Bird but his followers
appear TO be few those Of Mr. voorhees, In Indiana
The primaries in his own township held satur-
day. and six Greeley delegates chosen 10 the Con-
vention. prominent and lifelong Democrat from
Pennington, Birds home, said to-day: "old Hunterdon
County which hottest Copperhead section OF the
state during the war. is almost unanimous for
Greeley Our WITH Congress District, which comprises
Hunterdon Sussex. Warren, and Somerset Counties will
send delegation OF 100 or 40 men, at least three0urths
OF whom are outspoken for Greeley. Furthermore,
are confident that the entire delegation be brought
agree TO cast vote unit for Greeley AS have
large number OF delegates hope by acting in unison
to control the action Of the Convention and thus
what the masses OF the party wisban uneauvocal in
dorsement OF the Cincinnati platform and ticket"
The same gentleman said that the WITH District hoped
TO send Senatorial delegates to Baltimore Senator
stockton, John McGregor, New-Jersey member Of the
National Executive Committee, and Major sitTayes.
