A CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION HELD IN HUD-
SON COUNTY. n. j.
The Republican party in Hudson County N. J''
yesterday held constitutional convention. Tne con-
vention consisted OF delegates elected by the Repub
party from every city. town, village and hamlet
In the county. There 200 present at the meet
ing in Jersey City II was a representative body Of
men. body that included every legitimate business
in tho county. The chief object Of the convention as
set forth IN The Tribune several days ago, was to
amend the constitution Of the County Committee TO
enable that body to compel Republicans to nominate
Republican candidates for every Office. This is to
prevent Democrats from eecng delegates at Republ-
can primaries to do done last spring In
Hoboken, indorse a Democratic candidate for Mayor.
The convention called to order by ex-Mayor Gill
bert Collins, who elected permanent chairman.
Thomas McEwan, IT., was made permanent secretary.
Mr.. Collins said that In all governments it seemed wise
at times TO go back TO the people for renewal Of their
confidence and their suggestions and this was what
the County Committee had done in asking this conven-
ton to advise and aid it. lie concluded
by saying: mo man has been elected Governor
of NcwJersey since 1870 by majority vote, and this
proves that the State Is not Democratic State 1t is
duty to persuade the floating, so-called floating
vote that the principles of the Republican party
true ones. The present time appears to be the most
favorable. Everything is smiling on us. Everywhere
in this state and out Of II there is enthusiasm such
as have not witnessed since the time of Lincoln.
In New-York Republicans have nominated ticket to
win, and IT will win
A committee regulations and laws was appointed
consisting Of one member from each district The
members L. Hennemeyer, jr. f. W. WoOlley,
Henry Ewah, George c. Francis, II. W. Carr, S. IL.
