THE GUARD OF HONOR.
1t is the intention to send the largest
Democratic elegation from Hudson, that
ever attended gubernatorial inauguration
in this State. The arrangement so far
as can be ascertained before the Arrange
ment Committee makes its report, is to
have between 700 and 500 delegates
from Hudson, in the parade headed
by band of twenty-pieces, and corps
OF ten drummers and drum major. The
delegates will precede Governor Abbett'f
coach in the parade
The coach will be sent down ahead of
them. The horses will be gaily capari-
soned with facsimilies of the Hudson
Democratic banner Governor Albeit
will go to Trenton along with the dele
CATION, which will act as his guard of
honor
Some discussion was precipitated at
last nights meeting by the Hoboken
delegation, who wanted to know if all
Democrats in the county who wished to
attend and participate would be liable to
the general expense assessment which
the committee will levy upon the indi-
y1dual delegates. The idea was that
number of workingmen, who, while de-
8 ring to participate in the glory of at
tending as Hudson Democrats, might not
feel disposed to be assessed for a big
dinner and other--to theul-unnecessary
TENS of expense. This idea was backed
also by Assemblyman-elect John f. Kelly.
The sentiment of the body. from the en-
thusiastic chairman down, however, was
averse to anything but concentrated
movement.
''The delegates should be kept together
as far as possible from the time we reach
Trenton till we leave" argued the chair
man. "And you know we all want head
quarters of our own where we can all
have a social time together as Hudson
Democrats after the ceremonies are over
The assessment will not be so great after
all"
Others discussed the probability Of
securing accommodations for such large
body.
The matter was finally left in the hands
of committee of five appointed by the
chair. Chairman Wolbert, Judge James
M. Davis, Edward O'Donnell Dennis NJ.
Noonan and James Laverty constitute
the committee, Chirman w olbert will go
to Trenton and make necessary arrange
ments there.
