him. He would go to Trenton in the
interest of no clique, no ring, and he
would do all his power for the interests
of this city and the county. He called
upon the delegates to throw away their
little "local differences, and fight man
fully until election day, when an assured
triumph would rest with the great De-
mocratic party. The Captain was very
eloquent at the close of his speech, and
he excited the delegates 50 thoroughly
that it was with difficulty that they
could keep their seats--so great was
their anxiety to visit the bar-room. The
convention broke up in body-the
delegates cheering loudly-the first
cheers from that party which we have
heard since Joel Parker was elected
governor.
