The Newark Evening Ne,o's special Tren-

gett, a eabal, consisting of Kelsey, ALL
bright, Rays, Blodgstt and Orestss Cleve-
land, met in Kays's room in the Trenton
House. These represented the Blodgett,
Bird and Albright delegates. 1t was
agreed that each should find out just how
many votes these candidates could rely up
on, and then the weakest should transfer
his following to the strongest Blodgett
had $50 delegates. Albright couldn't scare
up more than 40. He was wild with rage
when he found that the agreement would
force him to withdraw, and roared so loud
~ in his anger that he was ordered to shut
up. He declared that he had sent Kays
81, 900 to carry the Sussex delegation with,
had spent SIS, 900 to get what few votes he
could muster in Essex, proclaimed himself
the strongest man in the State and able to
command the nomination on the first bal
lot; but in spite of all had to agree to hand
up his delegates to Blodgett and content
himself with promise of the patronage of
Essex county. Then it was arranged that
the Sussex delegation sheuld at the proper
moment be thrown to Blodgett, and other
counties following suit were expected to
start stampede to him. But the plan
didn't carry.
