tors'-Adams Finds One Supporter Greeley
and Parker The New Combination.
The New Jersey Democratic State Convention
met at Taylor Hall, Trenton yesterday. The Con-
vention was called to order at hafpast twelve
O'Clock by Ar McMichael, and Charles II. Haight, OF
Monmouth, was elected temporary Chairman. w.
b. Rankin, OF Hudson; w. M. Perrine, OF Sussex,
and J. Hoagland, OF Cumberland, were appointed
Secretaries After the call Of counties and the ap-
pointment OF committees the Convention adjourned
till half-past two O'Clock. .*a#
Just before the business commenced man in the
gallery cried out 'Three cheers for Charles Francis
Adams" and he proceeded to cheer Justify, but he
found NOT single response from the vast assem-
blage. 1t was clearly manifest that Adams had but
one supporter in that Convention.
When the Convention reassembled Ex-Governor
Randolph was elected permanent Chairman. He
stepped forward and delivered lengthy address,
chiefly In reference to the late ''beatn
conference at the Fifth Avenue He charged
furiously upon the Grant cohorts, ascribing
to Grants administration the violation Of law, d.
vine and human, national and international, to
such degree to drive the chief of republicanism
(Sumner) into denunciation Of him. AS matters
stand to-day the speaker thought that the large
proportion of delegates elected to the Baltimore
Convention are in favor of endorsing both the Gin
cinnau platform and candidates. Unless some re-
action, not now likely to occur, takes place 'twixt
now and the meeting at Baltimore, the action OF
that Convention is a foregone conclusion. He
warned the convention aga inst placing much reli-
ance on the strength OF the liberal republican
movement, which did not number so large crowd
IN New Jersey that they could safely anchor their
hopes upon 1t.
was f0regone conclusion, and that Greeey's cleo
ton was certain In such case. Greeley's main
strength will be In the democracy, and II elected his
administration will, in all his years OF office be
largely dependent upon the good viii and support
OF the democratic masses and their representatives
In Congress and State Legislatures.
Ia speaking OF the Fifth Avenue Conference the
created slight breeze Of discussion, or, as Teu-
tonic delegate from Hudson county styled 1t, 'much
drubbles" for the exGovernor:-"If hot-headed,
bad-tempered Or sembilious men, whether editors
who write under Bourbon influence or speakers

ference failure or fasco, do not know how to

were elected, for he would take the leader

Toned democratic principles as hostility to central

pension OF the writ Of habeas corpus full support
OF amnesty and rigid adherence to civil service re-

like. Now, If Mr.. Greeley can accommodate himself
to such plain and uncompromsing democratic
views as these-and to these he must come-they
would accept his conversion. Woe to Mr. Greeley

themselves ready to accept the situation II they
see the tide turning Greeleyward Randolph Is
making strong efforts to get nomination, but that
make a vigorous effort in favor of Governor Parker.
The prevailing opinion is that Greeley will be NOM
mated at Baltimore, but that there Will be a very
warm contest for the second place on the ticket.
AS far as New Jersey is concerned Parker is the
man for that place. The delegation will certainly
not accept Greeley and Brown together, unless
overruled by powerful combination in the Ma
tional Convention
