The Third District Freebooter Conven-
tion Makes No Choice.
The Freebooter Democratic Convention
for the Third district, according to the
story OF the Donnelly delegation, failed to
nominate last night. The delegates
gathered about Union Hall. on Newark
avenue. Chairman O'Donnell, of the
County Committee, who had been asked
to be present, found there were two men
among the Griffin delegates who had not
been elected. yet had credentials The
Donnelly delegates were mad and Chair
man O'Donnell, to avoid trouble, post
poned the convention and declared that
the County Committee would settle the
matter of the disputed credentials.
A Griffin delegate told me the following
present at eight o'clock. We (the Griffin
delegates) waited in the hall till nine
O'Clock Some one went down stairs and
met O'Donnell, who told him there would
be no convention. When asked why he
answered that there were delegates pres
ent with credentials which did not be-
long to them. He said there was man
named Rush present who claimed the
credentials held by Griffin delegate
named Whalen. Whalen was there as a
substitute for Rush. O'Donneu said
ones word was RS good as another.
Whalen looked out to see who the man
claiming to be Rush was and declared it
wasn't Rush He was willing to make
an affidavit to the effect that It was not
Delegate Rush, and afterward proved
that the bogus Rush had acted as judge
at the primary at which he claimed to
have been elected as delegate.
''O'Donnell said to us, If you have
nine delegates Ia majority of the sixteen)
90 ahead We afterward got together
and deposited nine votes for Griffin"

is not willing"
Il have also received telephone mes
sage from him." put in General Director
Ramsay, "that he is willing to submit to
the process"
''At what hour was that message re-
ceivedY questioned Funeral Director
Potts.
'About one O'clock" was General Di-
rector Ramsay's reply.
"pll explain it all, I" resumed Funeral
Director Potts. as he climbed about four
feet and half in the air. early in the
morning Mr.. Smith telephoned to Colonel
Toffey and myself that he would take the
matter into consideration. Late this
afternoon he called me up to say that he
had concluded that he did not want TO be
a victim, and that under no circum-
stances would he consent to be embalmed
with any corpses the body snatching firm
of Kern, Wanken & Rub would provide
for the ceremony. If he has to be i'm
molated on the altar of his party he
wants, at least, to meet political death in
respectable company"
Then arose Boss Director Newbold. He
did not know whether Mr.. Smith was
willing to sacrifice himself or not; but he
was sure that Herman Walker, of Gut
tenberg, for whom few votes had been
cast, would not only make ever so much
PACublCA a 0POCDdC1C OA ulAC Ct1lobALAAAAtS
table, but much more willing one; and
SO he was in favor of picking Walker out.
AS sheep follow the bellwether, SO the
Republican Embalming Company stock
holders trooped in a body after Boss Di-
rector Newbold. Mr.. Smith was deserted
and escaped, and the stockholders fell
upon Walker and prepared him for the
slaughter. He was given time only to
crawl to the platform and make little
farewell speech.
NOMINATING HOPKINS.
1t was unanimously agreed that John
H. Hopken, of Bergen Hill, should not be
allowed to be at large politically any
longer, and in twinkling the stockhold-
ers unanimously fell upon him and bound
him to be embalmed in the name of the
County Register. He climbed mourn
fully to the platform to express his sor-
row at having been 30 unoeremoniously
entrapped, but accepted his fate with
such grace as he could.
CHILL FROM THE MORGUE.
Now the doors swung wide open.
Whence the damp, chilling, clammy
over the hall? The answer was plain
when highly waxed and highly scented
individual, greeted as Charley" Noelke,
sauntered in with dozen others in his
wake. They had, just come from the
morgue to announce that the body
snatching firm of Kern, Wanken & Rub
had served up Billy Stuhr and Jim Roche
for the sacrifice, and already put them on
ice.
The stockholders had been incautious
enough to invite the whole of the morgue
gang up to see them; but Kern, Wanken
and Rub, the active members deemed 1t
prudent to keep out of view and they
didn't respond
When the visiting body snatchers re-
turned to their orgies in the morgue, Mr..

were placed by the side of Stuhr and

A ROUSING RATIFICATION
FIRST DISTRICT DEMOCRATS HEAR
GOOD SPEECHES.

Mayor Cleveland Shows the Results OF
Leon Abbett's Efforts in Behalf of the
People-Senator Edwards Hits Grisgs
and Gardner.
The first ratification meeting held under
the auspices of the First District Demo-
cratic Association last night was a great
success.
The association occupies the room OF
the Democratic County Committee, at
No. $40 Grove street. The room or hall
has a seating capacity of 200 Every chair
was taken and the aisles were crowded.
The association first held short busi-
ness session. DIR. Dimond presided. Mr..
Ar thur O'Brien rendered his resignation
as president 1t was accepted, and Mr..
F. G. Wolbert was elected to fill the
vacancy.
MAYOR CLEVELAND.
The orators were Mayor Cleveland and
Senator Edwards Both are well known
to be interesting takers and they had an
abundance of facts. They were often in
terrupted by applause. Mayor Cleveland
detailed how Governor Abbett's railroad
tax law had benefited this city.
Before the law went into operation the
city'5 sinking fund was delusion and q
snare. 1t was sinking fund sunk SO far
out of sight that it was not visible. The
city. too, had floating debt of $500, 900.
The receipts of taxes from the corpora
tions. except under the old law, had ena-
bled the city to wipe out the temporary
obligations and it is now free so far as
the floating debt is concerned.
He told of the great good that had
come from the establishment of the Sink
ing Fund Commission under the charter
amendment act and applauded the Com
missioners for their vigilance and ability
He compared the action of the Republi-
can and Democratic Legislatures in legis-
lating for the needs of the city, and
showed conclusively that it was only
when the Democrats had a majority in
the Legislature that this city was offered
any relief from it's burdens.
SENATOR EDWARDS.
Senator Edwards made a rattling
speech in which he dealt with the Re-
publican Senators in general and Senators
the records proved that the Republican
Senators were for the railroad corpora
tions first and the people last.
The two Senators named, he declared,
were the representatives or agents of the
corporations, and were always active in
comprising the defeat of any measure
tending to bring about equal taxation.
He explained the Albeit bill which i'm
posed the same tax on railroads that is
paid by the individual property
holder, and then described
the action of Senators Griggs and
Gardner and their Republican allies in
trying to put it to sleep in the committee,
and when aroused by Governor Albeit
and forced to act they produced rail
road bill which is not an equal tax bill, as
it discriminates in favor of the corpora
tions. who pay only $40 tax on every 81, 600
of valuation, while the taxpayers in this
city pay S28 on every 81 ,000

the reporters tables and wanted to fight

scribes present.
CANDIDATE ROCHE COMES IN.
After Wanken had, tiguratively speak
papers of Jersey City, Mr.. Roche was
brought in. He said that he thanked the
convention for the nomination and that
he never dreamed that he would get into
politics, he came over to vote for Mr..
Govern, but somehow the tables got
turned, and there | am"
At this junction Mr.. M. L. Newbold
entered the room and was accorded the
floor with cheers, and reported what had
been done at the Republican convention.
On motion of Alderman O'Rourke the
nominations made by the Republicans,
Herman Walker, for County Clerk, and
John H. Hopken, for Register, we're en-
dorsed with enthusiasm.
Ex-Judge Seymour, from the RepubH-
can Committee, covered Messrs Rabe,
Stuhr and Roche with taffy ad 11duseatrll
and predicted succession for the hybrid
ticket.
Ex-Postmaster Curran, of Hoboken,
was invited to the platform and pitched
into the District Attorneys office. Mr..
Vanderzee, a dyed-in the-wool Repub-
lican from the Fourth district, also adj
dressed the men he had SO numerically
denounced at Odd Fellows Hall. He
said that he was the only man who OPP
posed a fusion with the kickers on the
floor of the Republican convention. But
now since the fusion had been made and
the die cast he pledged that the Repub-
hcans would stand by the ticket.
He asked the convention If it could de-
liver the goods. and was answered with
cries of "We can; we can"
He was interrupted by the yells which
greeted the entrance of Mr.. Stuhr. He
was hurried to the platform and said
that truthfully speaking he was aston
ished to find himself in the position of a
candidate, as he expected somebody else
would be nominated.
He pledged himself to do all in his
power for the success of the ticket and
said that if elected the only party he
would recognize would be the people.
There was more cheering and yelling
and then the convention adjourned for
the purpose OF escorting their candidates
to Odd Fellows Hall to address the Re-
publicans.
When they had proceeded about half
way up the street they learned that the
Republicans had adjourned. They then
switched off into convenient saloon
where Candidate Roche did the compost
tors act, and "set 'em up"
