THEY PROPOSE 4 DEAL.
Kern's Kicking Kommittea
Will Not Hold a Con-
Vention Today.
TWO CONVENTIONS THURSDAY
The Republicans and the Kern
Crowd Will Meet in Hoboken
to Make Fusion Ticket.

A number of Republicans whom met
yesterday afternoon, informed me that
the movement for a deal between the
Kern kickers and the Republican bosses
is likely to eventuate in fusion. The
bosses are reluctant to go into combina-
tion with such fellows as Kern, WanKiu
and Rub; but they say that the trium-
virate will not go into an active canvass
unless they can be assured that they viii
have chance of getting something for
themselves. The short sighted managers
say that they do not feel authorized to
throw away the strength the Kern crowd
can bring to them, and therefore they
are disposed to make fusion ticket with
them.
In pursuance of this policy the Kickers'
Convention, to meet in Hoboken this
afternoon, will adjourn till next Thurs
day. The Republican Convention has
been called for that day in Hoboken. Ii
is proposed that when the two conven-
tions meet on Thursday. they shall ap-
point conference committees to agree
upon fusion ticket.
THERE MAY BE BREAK.
The break in the arrangements, If there
be a break, will be over the division OF
the offices. The Republicans are awfully
anxious to control the Legislature. so
they propose to take the Senatorial and
Assembly nominations, while the Kern
men can have the County Clerkship,
County Registership and the Free
holders. This will not probably please
the kickers, who have pledged themselves
to give Billy Stuhr Senatorial nomina-
| tion, and who don't want n0thin'" like
Wankin. unless Kern and Rub can be

Allan McDermott, the chairman of the
Democratic State Committee, has q small
| idea of the Importance of the Kern
| kickers at the best. Standing as indepen-
| dent factors, they amount to nothing, he
| says. If they combine with the Republic
cans, the Democrats will have a clean

THE DEAL REPORTED.
Ex-Editor Michael Mullone was in
| formed by Martin Logan and one or two
| others of the Kern kckers yesterday that
the kickers will make straight out
nights meeting of the Kickers' Com
| mittee showed that he is not in the secrets
of his boss. For an order was made that
| the date of the "ConVentiono which was
| to have been held this afternoon be
| changed to next Thursday.
| The convention will probably be held
| at Cranes Hall, because, to oblige the
| Republican chiefs, the Committee or
| "Templersn gave up Odd Fellows Hall,
| which had been engaged. Cranes Hall
| is part and parcel of Cranes Morgue, a
most delightful and appropriate place for
| the political corpses.
/ MR. BRINKERHOFF RESIGNS.
| Ex-senator Brinkerhoff sent In mis- let
| ter of resignation forshad0wed by the
| JERSEY CITY NEWS day or two ago.
| Mr. c. d. ]. Noelke has also written q
letter to Secretary John H. Cronan, re-
| signing from the vice-chairmanship and
mem bership of the committee because or
the committees failure to endorse Leon
| Albeit for Governor.
/ The leaders have since assured Mr..
| Noelke of the intention to endorse Abb
4 bett at the convention, which has been
| postponed till Thursday, and prevailed
! upon Mr.. Noelke to withdraw his letter.
NOELKE is KICKING.
In speaking of the matter to JERSEY
| CITY NEWS reporter this morning, Mr..
| Noelke said that at the time of writing
| the letter this action was based upon the
| inference that Albeit would not be en-
| dOrsed inasmuch as a resolution of such
| endorsement offered by him some time
ago had been tabled, and it looked as
though Albeit would not be endorsed
"The letter. said he, was written in
good faith, and had / not been assured
last Friday night by the leaders that my
action was premature. that Albeit would
be endorsed at the coming convention,
| would have insisted upon my resignation
being accepted, and if he is not endorsed
! / shall certainly withdraw"
