4 CALL TO DEMOCRATS.
Delegates of the Clubs Will
Meet at Newark Next
Thursday.
IT WILL Be A NOTABLE EVENT.
Plans of the Association Of the
States Clubs for Great Cam
paign Work.

A circular signed by Colonel e. A.
Stevens, chairman of the General Com
mittee, and w. S. Mexican, secretary of
the New Jersey Association of Democratic
Clubs. has been distributed among
the various Democratic organizations
throughout the State, urging q full
representation at convention which has
been called by the association, to be held
at the Academy of Music, Washington
street, Newark, on Thursday, October 10,
beginning at twelve o'clock noon.
The circular states that "all regularly
organized Democratic clubs are entitled
to representation by five delegates, and
one additional delegate for every fifty
members in good standing in excess of
100. A new president. a secretary and
treasurer are to be elected TO serve for the
presidents, assistant secretaries and
members of the General Committee will
also be elected by the several county dele
cations. The name Of Colonel e. A.
Stevens is prominently mentioned in con-
nection with the presidency.
The object being to strengthen the per-
manent organization of the State Democ-
racy, the association is the pet project of
the Democratic leaders throughout the
State. 1t was organized in Trenton, one
year ago, and its first convention, held IN
Trenton last fall, was 'srouser." Its
good results have been thoroughly recog-
nized in every county.
Efforts are being made to eclipse in
grandeur the results of last years cOnven-
tions. The various county leaders are dill
igently at work.
Passaic county has already elected 125
6a1o fops mi 1T.fxr rrytH
Essex, $50; Morris, 25; Mercer, 40. Cam
den county will probably send so and the
other counties % apiece. There is no
reason why every precinct in the State
should not be thoroughly organized and
represented at the coming convention of
the State Association.
ACTIVITY IN HUDSON COUNTY.
In Hudson county new Democratic or
ganizations are springing up like mush-
rooms. Districts that heretofore have
never been thoroughly organized are
strengthening Democratic organizations
under the guidance or the most expert
leaders. The nomination of Leon Albeit
with the adoption of a platform promis-
ing equal taxation, personal liberty, and
ballot reform has enthused the De-
mocracy of Hudson, which recognizes its
duty to '.organize thoroughly for COM
plete and full vindication of the histori-
cal position of their party by rousing
majority at the polls.n She will be fully
represented at the State Associations
Convention at Newark on October TO-
The association is working in complete
harmony with the Democratic State Com
mittee and the various county commit
tees throughout the State, which, of it
self, is guarantee of the magnificent
success of the coming convention.
At night, after the adjournment of the
convention, a grand mass meeting will be
held under the JOINT auspices OF the assO-
citation, the State Democratic COMMITTEES
and the Essex County Democratic Com
mittee, to suitably ratify the nomination
of Leon Albeit rs the standard bearer of
| the Democracy in the coming campaign.
Governor Hill, of New York; ex-governor
Albeit, Chauncy r. Black, president of
the National Association of Democratic
| Clubs and others of national reputation
will address the meeting. which has been
| designed as fitting opening of an active
and aggressive campaign upon the part
of the association. Governor Green will
probably preside.
Special rates will be given by all the
| railroads of the State upon application at
