The Republican canvass ln Northern rW-lnfaey
was formally opaned IN MoT n iwH ye e.day by
the denomination of WI lliam walter Phelps by tha
Vth Conur, ssional District Convention, which met
in ~ ceum Hall, The contrast between tho
enthusiasm and eamestness of The Rcpubhcan
convention aud the GOODNESS aud hall-hearteduesi
of the Democratic convention, which was also
held there, was marked. There were not more than
two-thiris of the delegates present at the Demo-
cratic convention and their candidate for Congress
awakens little interest among the people of thu
district lie is a young lawyer OF Paterson, and Is
said 20 be a free trader The larger Dumber of the
voters in the three counties which compose the
Vth District are interested directly or Indirectly,
in mining and manufacturing industries and the
tariff Is the central idea of the campaign. When
the convention met yesterday the delegates saw be-
fore them hanging from of the dies, extract
from the Republican platform which demands that
duties shall be levied for protection. The stage was
tastefully decorated with flags and pictures OF
Blaine, and at each wing was stack of broOms 10
signify the purpose Of sweeping the district with
Blame, Logan and Phelps.
The convention was called to order by William
Nelson. who referred to the last time a Congress
sional Convention was held in Morrlstown,m 1864,
when no one was willing to accept the nomination
for Congress, and it was finally forced upon Theo-
dore Little, who was chairman Of that convention.
He then nominated Mr. Little for chairman, and no
was elected. In taking the cha he said:
While there many men in the District competentto
cent 1t IN Congress- think we are ali agrtei that
