TRENTON, N. j., Sept 18.-The delegates TO the

at IL O'Clock. AS they seated themselves it was
learned that Hudson county in caucus had cast
seventy-seven votes for Dixon and three for Hill,
ana that Essex county had solid vote for Dixon.
The Camden and Cumberland delegates were not
In their seats when ex-senator Hobart called the
convention to order at 12:2l They came In
at 1880 Congressman William Walter Phelps
was made temporary chairman.
SPEECH OF CHAIRMAN PHELPs
He made q vigorous speech, In the course OF
which he attacked the PENNSYLVANIA railroad and
charged that corporation with defeating Fredk
A. Potts in 1880, and said that the corporations
had lost their influence, and that the suspicion
that any man was under obligations to a corpora
ton was the surest means OF his defeat He did
interference In the present campaign.
Mr.. Phelps then compared Mr.. Albeit,
the democratic candidate. with All Sin, whose
ways were dark and devious He believed the sky
was filled with harb1ngers OF victory. There
were no stalwarts or half-breefS in New Jersey,
but only republicans. He said, referring to the
national situation. that the people last year
wished ardently for republican defeat because
they wanted to punish the party; now the people
are anxious for republican Victory because they
nave Deen punished themselves. He said, In con-
t1nuation, that the people want protection and no
more tinkerfng with the tariff.
JUDGE DIXON WILL BE THE NOMINEE.
After appointing the regular committees for
routine work the convention adjourned until $50,
with every indication that Judge Dixon will be the
nominee.

The Reduction in Postage.

Two-CENT STAMPS BEING UTILIZED.
A large number OF letters are being received
from postmasters throughout the country asking
when the reduction In postage would take effect
In spite OF the circulars that have been sent out
there does not seem to be very clear understand
ing OF what exactly is going to happen on the list
OF October. The department officials think that
they will be able to supply all the ofices with the
new stamp by the time their issue has been deter
mined upon. To guard against the contingency
OF failure in this respect, about half the Offices
nave been supplied with the Old two-cent ISSUE 1t
is probable, however. that the supply OF stamped
envelopes win not be sufflcient to meet the de-
mand. Those having the three-cent stamped en-
velOpes on hand after October list will be relieved
Oy the department as soon as arrangements can
De perfected for making the exchange. This will
not be done at once.

TIE st bJECT UNDER CONSIDERATION BY THK CIVIL
SERVICE COMMISSIONERS
The political assessment question, as raised by
the publication in THE STAR OF the Malone cir.
cular to department employees, is. It is stated. a
matter OF grave consideration by the civil service
commissioners A prominent Official who has
been much interested in the development and
enforcement OF the civil-serv1ce law, stated to a
STAR reporter that any private citizen could pros
ecute under the sections OF the civil-service law
making 1t penal ofrense for public officials men,
oerS OF congress and Others to solicit political con-
tr1butlons as well as the civil service commission
erS.
'Of course the civil service commissioners can
do nothing now," said the Official. They cannot
reach out into the air. They must have sub
Stantal basis or facts before beginning any prose-
cuffon They have to stay by the law and will
see that 1t is enforced IL II is In their power II 1t
Is true that g. so month is eXactea dues to an
association, that is very thin disguise to cover
political assessment, and no court would fail TO
see through IT."
