will execute the mandates of the court
fearlessly, and we know such a man,
Therefore the delegates from the Second
district wish to second the nomination of
Peter Farmer Wanser
"The Ring has started rumors that he
can be used by them. 1t is absurd to
imagine that man who was cheated out
of the Office Of Surrogate by Ring could
| be used by that Ring"
4 There was more cheering when Colonel
Dickinson said that the Third district
/ nominated Colonel Wanser. which was
\ increased when the Fourth district made
the same announcement. When the
Fifth district was called Frank Coles
said.
WILLIAMS NAMED BY THE FIFTH
II has properly been said that Grim
inal condition of affairs exists in this
county. and it is not only for the Repub-
licans but for every honest citizen in the
county to see that this is remedied. Let
us not forget that the Republicans
are in a hopeless minority, and
we can only hope to succeed by
placing in nomination a man who enjoys
the confidence Of the people. We cannot
consistently ask the Democrats to sup
port our candidate because he is a Repub-
Iican. but because he is an honest man
l believe we have man who will fulfil
the duties of the Office an honest, fear
less man, 1t is my pleasure and the wish
of my fellow delegates to present the
name Of q man who we believe will fill
the bill, and therefore nominate Rioh-
ard Williams. He was Republican long
before Fremont was nominated and there
has been no contest unless he has taken
off his coat and pitched in. The people Q
want honest juries that will try cases ac-
cording to the evidence, and we present
man VINO win see that that is done
Mr.. Peshall, for the Sixth, said that
that district would cast the ballots for
Williams. Wanser was q good man and
he believed all that had been said
about him, but he had held a number
of officers and the people wanted new
men and no politicians. The irrepressihle
Mum was on his feet again with his
Flanagan like demand to know what
they were there for. He was told as be-
fore that they were there to nominate a
man to elect, and he subsided after letting
out whoop for Billy Sets of Hoboken.
The Seventh nominated Wanser, aud the
Eighth named no one. Then John Reid
got up tor the Ninth.
H0DoKEN PUTS UP LETS.
He ssfd it was a grand thing to see the
Republicans come together and nominate
such good men 1t showed that the peo-
pie had something to say in Nominating
the candidate. Wanser and Williams
were both good men, but he begged them
change of being plected. He pictured the
open revolt Of the northern section of the
county against the Ring, and said that
the best element of the Democratic party
in all parts of the county were fighting
the Ring also.
We should nominate someone whom
these men would support" Mr.. Reid con
tinued. 1T is therefore my duty to nomi-
nate William H. Let's, a man who has
frequently carried that stronghold Of
Democracy, HohDkeu. He is man of
much popularity. and il elected he willdo
hisduty."
The Tenth made no nomination, and
that closed the call. Mir. Cole moved that
an informal ballot be taken, when up
jumped Fiannigan Mum
Whats all this nsnsense forgn he
asked, fs'aFe we here to nominate man to
be elected or beatenan
A chorus Of son, myin and Kisses greet
ed this inquiry.
s'All right, replied Mum, but are we
nate a candidate?p
With this Mr.. Mum subsided, and Mr..
Richard Williams, one of the nominees,
was about to want to know, when some
delegate asked If Williams was a
membar Of the convention. Mr. Collins
that he was, and Mr.. Collins apologized
The MOTION for an informal vote was lost
and the ballot proceeded When the first
ballot had been taken delegates began o
change their votes from Williams to
Wanser, and before the result was an
nounced Mr.. Cole moved to make it
unanimous. Mr.. Williams snid that he
had hoped to make that motion, but Mr.
Cole had antieidated him. Wanseris
nomination was made Unanimous with
cheers, and committee was sent out to
bring him in,
declared in order, and Johnny Brennan,
for the First district, made a nice little
speech.
The First district" !" he said, "nomin-
ates man VINO can take the stump
against the candidate on the other side
and make good showing, and that man
is Frank @. Cole"
Then there was high old time, but it
was very brief. The delegates yelled and
cheered for few minutes and gave Mr..
Coles name a fiattering reception. Mr..
Cole, however, soon extinguished their
ardor 40 manner which caused many o
them to look sheepish.
1T appears to me that this is perfectly
Ridiculous he said. 1--WE should not
nominate a man unless he will accept. It
would be utterly repulsive to me to go to
Washington and leave my family.p
The Fourth district named Thomas Nc

thrQughout the county than anyone else,n
and the Tenth put up Herman Walker.
The ballot was about to be taken when
Johnny Brennan, thinking that Mr..
Coles repulsion to going to Washington
did not amount to defamation, asked il
he had declined. MIR. Collins said he
thought not. But Mr. Cole quickly put
all doubts to rest.
McEwen was declared nominated, and
he started in to makea campaign oration.
His remarks mainly heaped abuse upon
everything Democratic and told
what an awfully good little
boy he was to consent to be
sacrificed to help elect a Sheriff. The au-
dience got exceedingly tired of McEwen,
but he kept right OH and only subsidized
when his voice was drowned by the
cheers which greeted Colonel Wanssr's
entrance into the hall
The gallant Colonel made brief
speech and one right to the point. lie
thanked the convention for nominating

He said that he had not sought the
nomination and promised that if he was
elected he would give the citizens of Hud-
