TRENTON, Sept. IA. 1874.
For party which seemed to be so utterly wiped
out last November, when Grant swept the State
by 15 900 majority, which has often been shrved,
confined and committed to the grave by the Veto
rious enemy chanting the "De Proundls," the
democratic party OF New Jersey is just now begin
ming to prove itself corpse of the liveest possible
character. In spite Of all the shriving and cofn.
ing and funeral holding Of the republicans lG won't
be STILL it will insist upon popping up like the
whskey-loving and jovial corpse in ''Tim Finne-
gans Wake" Especially is this evident from
the way in which the elements OF the
"dead party" have been gathering here all the
afternoon and evening. There will be an assem-
blage the largest ever witnessed IN Trenton on
any previous similar occasion. Not only is there
q most uncorpse-like sprightltness observable
among the delegates and others OF the democracy
who have come to look on, but there seems to be
pervading the chiefs and clansmen spirit OF en-
thuslasm ana confidence such as is only leiE by
partisans assured OF success
THE CONVENTION
meets at noon to morrow IN Taylor Hall, the only
political pow-wowing place in this antique town.
There seems to be hut one opinion among repre-
sentative democrats from all parts Of the State
upon the Gubernatoral nomination. That opinion
unanimously accords with the prediction uttered
some time ago in the HERALD and repeated IN this
mornings issue, viz, that
THE NAME OF JUDGE BEDLE,
of Hudson, will carry the Convention as by tidal
wave the moment the call Tor nominations Is
made. 1t has already been set forth in the HERALD
that Mr.. Andrew A. smalley, Of Essex, and MIR. J.
Daggett Hunt. Of Union county, had severaily with
urawn their names and thrown their weight Tor
Judge Bedle, whose hlgh-toned letter has taken
the politicians by their ears and the people by their
| hearts,

JUDGE BEDLE's LETTER,
above referred 10, all which has had curious
| effect. When it was first published good many
prominent men thought II ruled the Judge out oi
canvass And So sson wo%d II dMn nave
cratic masses. In 1t the Judge distinctly stated
THAT ne was not candidate. and that the only
condition upon which he could consent to change
his present ONCE Tor the Executive was 'that II
should be the result of the actlon OF the people al
the ballot box, without the slightest effort on my
part, and Tor me in the meantime 70 continue tt
perform my present duties rs usual, day after
aud leaving the people, unsolicited BY any effort
nv own, to determine whether l Snouid serve
them in d different sphere.n
and not the man the Office. seems 20 nave takei
firm mold OF the Jersey democratic heart and o
ing the maine OF democracy. IT is a going back Il
the practices OF "the earlier and better times" o
the Republic so much longed for nowadays-;
doctrine often preached but rarely practlceh
Hence is popularity with the masses.
