THE HUDSON SOCIETY THERE, TOO.
Every Democratic club and organiza-
ton in this county had delegates repre-
senting them at the Hudson County
Democratic headquarters this morning.
They were 400 in number and
a splendid appearing body of
men. All were provided with canes and
nearly all wore silk hats. Every one of
them went to Trenton to take part in the
inaugural ceremonies and look ed proud
because of the opportunity.
AS early as seven O'Clock Grand Mar
shall F. G. Wolbert, full of vim and ami
nation, arrived at headquarters, and he
was soon joined by others who rendered
aid in making the final arrangements
When the body formed in line it was
twenty minutes to nine. and large crowds
gathered on the sidewalk to watch the
Four Hundred. The Seventh Regiment
band, of New YORK, had been engaged for
the occasion, and their forty pieces of
music delighted everybody who heard
them.
Grand Marshall Wolbert gave the order
to march, and platoon of sixteen
Jack Smith and Sergeants Carroll
and Buckbee wheeled and marched
down Grove street. They were
followed by the band and then came
the lively Grand Marshal Behind him
were Mayors Cleveland, Grassman and
Kelly. Director Bruggeman, Sheriff
Davis and Henry Spielman, assistant
| marshals At proper intervals were To-
| Gated Division Commanders Ramon
M Cook. John w. Kelsey, John Hart,
and Patrick McCloskey. These gentle
| men had for their aids Messrs. William
c. Hamilton, Clerk of the Board
of Fire Commissioners Charles Es-
Street and Water Commissioners George
T. Bouton, Superintendent of Streets
Philip Tumulty, Joseph Weinthal. of Ho=
boken, candidate for the seat of the late
Freeholder Kenney; Thomas Mcclure,
Frederick j. Mersheimer and Clerk of the
| Tax Commissioners james E. Connolly.
A RACE THE MAYORS WON.
Marching abreast were the Committee
| of Arrangements. They were Judge
James N. Davis, ex-Police Commits
| ioner Edward O'Donnen, James P. Law
| erty and Freeholder Noonan. They were
| Immediately behind the file of Mayors
and took especial pleasure IN trying to
out march them. 1t was an even race,
however, for the portly forms of
| the three Mayors were offset by
the majesty of the law that
| burdened Judge Davis, the rheuma-
tism that afflicted Freeholder Noonan and
| the short legs of Eddie O'Donnell. But
they all got to the depot at the same time
and as If to encourage them, the band
played "We've all been there before,
many's the time"
In the ranks, with cane erect, was Police
Commissioner Coyle, of Hoboken. He is
a little fellow and jolly waltzer. He
with the air of an old cam
paigner, and cracked jokes about how
he would knock out Joe Weinthal
for Freeholder. His friend, Free
holder Ellis, was with him and SO
were Water Registrar Lohman, City Clerk
"Marty' McDermott, Assistant City
Clerk Darcy and ex-Freeholder Brun-
ming, all of the same city.
The greatest honor conferred by the
enthusiastic men, excepting that of
grand marshal, fell to the lot of Patrick
Phelan, who carried blue silk banner
bearing the inscription
...s.....-.s...s s-.s....:
''HUDSON,
1856"
.......................
This meant Governor Abbett'S plural
ity. Patrick is u very tall man and wore
an equally tall hat. The banner. the hat
and the occasion for wearing it all com-
bined to make Patrick very happy. John
p. Feeney, President of the Police
Board, was near him. Surrogate
sion and he looked as handsome
as any man who will tonight dance at the
inauguration ball Ex-Director Govern
and Detective Edward Stanton were side
partners on the march, ana Director of
Education Philip Muldoon looked
simply immense. He was as straight
as the cane he carried, and as good
him. Near him was Police
Commissioner Kelly, who devoted the
greater portion of his time to watching
the fine marching of the police, and in
the same file walked Mark Curley,
Congressman McAdoo's ex-secretary,
Somers aided DR.. King, of the asylum,
over the slippery stones, and Nj. j. O'Don-
nell, chairman of the Democratic County
Committee, was tickled to death, almost,
when he saw the result.
HAPPY DENNY" M'LAUGHLIN.
County Clerk Mclaughlin appeared
sedate but happy. and the boutonniere he
wore on his coat was an object OF envy by
Storekeeper Andy Manning, of SnaLe
Hill, who marched near him. Freeholder
German had no other decoration than a
badge, like everyone else wore.
