ton had not been made in good faith. It
had been engineered by the len IS of Surro-
gate McAvoy. For one he would not sups
port nomination made in that interest. 1t
did not occur to him that single protest
was enough to defeat making the nomina-
ton unanimous, but somebody suggested
the idea afterwards, and the Convention
tried to wriggle around the obstruction.
The most practicable scheme they could
devise was TO poll the Convention. Il was
plain sailing till the 5th district was
reached. The boys there wouldn't vote
one way or the other. In the 10th district
it was a stand-off One of the 16 delegates
voted to make it unanimous and one voted
the other way. So Chairman Pangborn
was obliged to confess that the vote was
not unanimous; but then Pater had been
nominated all the same, and Gen. John
Ramsey had taught the Hon. Fl K. Van
Horn that it was not safe or judicious for
the Hon. FL. f. Van Horn to call him q
blanked blanked liar.
Gen. j I'm Ramsey celebrated his victory
all Friday evening He looked pretty much
as the TATTLER's artist saw him when he
commenced his campaign against the Hon

Surrogste 1t didn't count for cent that
the party was bound to Mr.. Van
Horn en- its honor He had called Gen.
John Ramsey blanked blanked liar, and
that was enough to justify the party in
going back on its word. Gen. John Ram
sey thought so, and he made personal
canvass all over the county against Hon.
Il. x. Van Horn. Our special artist met him
on one of his tours, and shows above how
he looked at the time. But he specially
interested some of his strong political
friends in his cause He enlisted the Far
riers warmly, by suggesting that it would
be good idea to nominate the Hon. Peter
Farmer Wanser. Gen. Ramsey admired
the Hon. Peter Wanser because, like him
self, he had been in the Custom House,
and got out. Then he hobnobbed with the
Committee, picked out the men who would
vote for Peter, and arranged to have the
Committee elect them. The Committee did
its work we'll It elected the men on,
Thursday night, and for lear the scheme
would be uncovered and d. feated before it
could be consumma. ed, got thsm together
on Friday to put Peter in formal nomina-
ii n. So that the thing shouldn't too pal
pably be see1 to have been put up, a re-
spectacle vote was left untouched. These
untrammeled delegates insisted that Peter
was not known half mile from Captain
Farrier's station house; and that he would
prove q weak candidate. But their argu-
ments awaited them nothing. Van Horn had
the Fifth District men solid, and to afroat
them Gen, Ramsey had Frank O. Cole Sc
lected as Chairman of his Convention. DR..
Bird concluded to make the General show
his hand at the outset and tried to run IN

kick against Cole. 1t was urged that he

liam w. Thompson, John 7. Luck, John
Fl. Faherty, Charles Barry, Edward Stack,
Walter Farrell, and John Gschwindt were
named. Senator Brinkerhoff had to spell
the last name, for the Convention; and
Mr.. Gschwindt was almost beaten because
the boys couldn't get on it. = But
enough of them gave lit out in various ways
to secure him the nomination, and he was
declared the nominee. He is an under
taker in North Bergen.
While Messrs. O'Neill and Feeney were
looking up the candidates, Prosecutor
Winfield was called to the platform to make
q speech. 81. :.
ssGoing out to combat the Republi-
can party, with the National administra-
ton Democratic for the first time in "a
years." he said, sand the State government
Democratic for 30 consecutive years, the
voice of Hudson County, the banner
county in the State that stood true to

the nominees, but / hope we shall

Gschwindt at the bottom, the result cam
not be doubtful. ] am told by my Ger
man friends that Gschwindt means rapid.
So we shan't let the grass grow under our
feet; and between the two is the man to
Govern the whole. Now let us up and at
'emi It will have good effect. For as
goes Hudson SO goes the universe. We
are in the centre Of the universe. The sky
fits all around Hudson County, and we
can't make any mistake in showing the
balance of the universe what the right is "
The convention broke into cheers as

When the New York World concluded to
strike out specially in Jersey Ematters
they sent Mr.. NJ NJ. WE'LL to this city to
cover Hudson County news matters. Mr..
WE'LL knew good deal more about sscdfe

the World amply prove his imagination
fully compensated for his ignorance.
Everyday affairs figured as romances.
No man married a girl who wasn't Lord,

was GOODNESS between them and him.
There had been natural newspaper Atm
ity between Gessner, of the Informing

broke with Mr.. WE'LL, the bitterness of
feeling between Well and Gessner was
especially strong. A few days ago. when
WE'LL met city editor Green, of the "Morn-

that Mr. Gssner was disgrace to the pro-
fession. Gessner was a1gered beyond ex-
preston when he heard it. Last night he
met Well in City Hall Place, and taxed
him with having spoken unfavorably to
Mr.. Green. Well denied it.

Well had on his kid gloves, and was at a

Friends interfered, however, and put an

JOHN RAMSEY'S CONVENTION
WHAT CAME OF CALLING THE GEN.
ERAE A BLANKED LIAR.

How the Hon. Peter Farmer Wanser Came
to be Thought of a Candidate For Snrro-
gate, and How He Achieved the Nominal
tion-AIr. Wills Makes a Speech.
Gen. John Ramsey was at Hoboken in
ABOUT hundred different DISCUSSES on
Friday, and formally put the Hon. Peter
Farmer Wanser in the race for the Surro-
gacy. Gen. John Ramsey is worker. He
is also segar dealer. He was also an
eight dollars day Customs House inspec-
tor, but he isn't any longer. he is also q
politician of considerable shrewdness and
pull. He is also member of the Repub-
lican County Committee, and appointed
himself to keep sharp eye upon the
quantity OF doodle" handed up by the
fellows who are expected to contribute to
the Committees campaign funds. Gen,
John Ramsey is liberal man. He is es.
pecially liberal in his expectations He ex-
poets every Republican adherent In the
County to fork over literally till it becomes
Ramseys turu to hand over. He fixed in
his mind the amount of money that the
Hon. Henry K. Van Horn should surrender
annually, OF LIS e6ruiABb WAiAo NC hotu tuc
County Ulerkship. The Hon. Henry K.
Van Horn had bis own notions on that
subject He didn't contribute what Gen.
Ramsey thought he ought; but he did give
as literally as he would have expected
Gen. Ramsey to have contributed had the
General been in his place. Gen. John
Ramsey wanted more, and the Hon. Henry
K. Van Horn wouldn't give it. So Gen.
John Ramsey went around talking about
the Hon. Henry X. Van Horn; and some
one told the Hon. Henry X. Van Horn that
Gen. John Ramsey was going around talk
ing about him. The Hon. Henry K. Van
Horn is especially distin yuished for his
frankness. If he has anything to say, he
says it. 1t was long time before he
could tackle Gen. John Ramsey, for Gen.
Ramsey kept out of his way; but one day
they ran afoul of one another. The Hon.
Henry K. Van Horn asked Gen. John Ram
sey what he had been saying about him.
Gen. John Ramsey replied that he had
been saying what he partly knew and what
he partly believed; whereupon the Hon.
n. K. Van Horn pronounced Gen. John
Ramsey to be blanked blanked liar. Gen.
John Ramsey and the Hon. II. X. Van
Horn had it hot and heavy for
several minutes, but they were sep
Grated without spilling any gore.

What Mr.. Van Horn SAWS.

Ex-Ccunty Clerk Van Horn was found by
a TATrLER reporter at the Oakland Skating
Rink, of which he is one of the proprietors.
and to say that he Is looking happy is to
draw it very mild he is really in the best of
spirits, and from his surroundings has no
reason to be displeased with his present
position. When asked about the Republi-
can nomination for Surrogate, he said,
"Im as happy as Harry's horse with his
head and tail up" He considered that it
would be prema ure to give his sentiments
with regard to the nomination of Mr..
Wanser to the Tress at this juncture of the
campaign, but he characterized the action
OF the Republicad Convention in nominal
ing that gentleman as repetition of the
Ring rule or last November, and predicted
that the candidate would doubtless en-
counter an abnormal opposition in his own
party.
