THAT FUNERAL CONVENTION.

How the Republicans Tore Their Pas
sion to Tatters on Wednesday.
When the Republican party in this
county nominated Frank o. Cole for
member of Congress aud ]. Herbert
Potts for State Senator on Tuesday, it
virtually gave all Democrats guarantee
that E. f. Mcdonald and JuG ge w. D.
Daily would be chosen by the people to
represent them. The Convention was a
quiet and orderly one, but this. fact may
be accounted for by the small
number of delegates present. Not
more than one half of the
delegates elected participated in the obse-
Quies. With characteristic appreciation
OF sophistry and SANDER, the few who
time to applaudlng Flavel McGee's effort
to villifv the Democratic party. and set
of libelous resolutions which were adopt
ed with hurrah.
When Flavel MCGEE was selected for
Chairman of the Convention he knew
that he must get off his little speech. 1t
was the same one he has used in coDven-
tlons for a score of years. with few
notifications or changes, rendered neces-
sary by recent events. After declaring,
in a most unrepublicau way, that he did
not care who was elected Governor of
this State, he got off che same TRADE that
he did when Colonel Wanser was nomi-
mated.
The speech over, sigh of relief was
given by. the tortured and the business of
the Convention was taken up. This re-
suited in the nomination of Potts and
Cole. Mr.. Potts is and has been all his
life machine Republican. This reputa-
tion is born out by his record as Reading
Clerk in the Assembly and as a member
of Assembly for three terms. He is
railroad lawyer.
Frank o. Cole needs no introduction.
He keeps a drug store ON Grand street,
is mem Der of Van Houtsn Post and is
an acknowledged kicker. When he was
a mem ber of Assembly he bolted the
caucus of his party. When nomina ted
Tuesday he made his bloody shirt speech,
denounced everything Democratic and
praised all that is Republican, including
the Protective Tariff and the Force bill.

MRS. DEACON's SEA MEFUL ORDEAL

GRAssE, France. Oct, 13, 1892. The ac-
tion of Edward Deacon against his wife
began here today. The trial is taken to
prove criminal adulte ry on the part of
the defendant in order that the p laintiff
may apply for divorce.
The greatest interest is manifested
in the case here. At seven
O'Clock this morning the doors
of the court house were besieged by a
large crowd of people. AT half past eight
O'Clock the doors were opened, and in
few minutes every available inch of space
was occupied.
Maitre Somango. Mr, Deacon's counsel,
was unavoidably absent, and his place
was taken by MIR. Frank Pilatte, an ad-
vocate from Nice.

Guarding Secrets of the Il Home.

Perhaps there is no surer revelation of
character than the manner in which a
wife uses her husbands name in conver-
sation. We have some respect for Mr..
Fawcett's heroine. who closed her eyes
when her husband staggered into sight,
and declared that Manhattan had one
of his headaches, for he never drank" 1t
is hard, however, to pardon the woman
who conf1des to everyone she meets the
shortcomings of the man whose honor fs
in her keeping. Reticence requires more
culture and brain power than criticism.
There are wives who argue, with sharp
tongued Mrs. Poyser, that "God made
the women silly to match the men," and
with her are ready to slay a sister making
the same statement.
We question if women are quite fitted
to occupy positions of public trust until
they have learned to guard more jealous
ly the secrets of the home.-Helen. Jag in
HaTper's BazdT.

DEAD IN THE RIVER.

The body of a man was found floating
in the water at the foot of Grand street,
this morning at six O'Clock. The man
was apparently about thirty-five years
old. He was feet inches in height and
dressed in working clothes. The BODY
was taken to the morgue. 1t is thought
probable that the body is that of Boat

Republican State Committee.

The New Jersey State Republican Com

at its Montgomery street headquarters,
Tuesday afternoon.
About one-third of the members and
Candidate John Kean, Jr., were present.
Although the session lasted TWO hours

but chase butterflies all over the State.

committee did, and he replied with much
disgust in his tones that it did
nothing but talk, talk, talk.

Governor, while report was being
read or some question discussed, and
when it was all over demanding to have
1t all explained over again.

unteer debaters were called for. The
discussion resolved itself into a question
of Hill or Cleveland, those taking
the negative side of the question urging the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland. In the volun-

The Silver Question.



The battle for free silver has just begun. 1t will
not down. Right or wrong, wise or unwise, the
members Of congress from the west ana south,
who know public sentiment at their homes and
are always disposed to act accordingly are bent
on pushing measure providing for the free and
unlimited coinage of the white metal. The house
committee on coinage. weights and measures has
decided to report such bill, and though some
members were opposed to it, they absented them
selves from the meeting Of the committee.
One thing stands out clearly from the situation,
mixed and mUddled as 1t is. That is the supreme
issue with the people is not the tariff but the
currency. The east is endeavoring to beat back
and minimize the latter, but the effort is unava-
ing. Where one congressman is botherng his
brain about the tariff, two are studying the cur
rency Where one candidate is seeking nom
nation on his tariff views dozen are seeking to
expand the circulating medium. Where one in
div!luai voter talks tariff, hundred discourse
on the necessity for more money Where one
man is thinking how the tariff Expresses him, a
hundred Cursng the bondholdar that brought
the country to a gold basis.
